hmm paste/grease slapped on would have sorted it 
You heard the new crap about the latest gen GDI cars etc? Failing their first mot's due to the gas content not fitting in with VOSA's idea of clean combustion.
Bloody joke. |

right well, speedo cable, gear box mount, crank sensor, throttle cable, have all been replaced slowly but surely, so nice to have a speedo again!

right well havent updated for a while, ive opted for a turbo conversion as im in no rush for the beast, its going to have Laguna F3R Pistons as i remember Chris saying they were dished so ideal for a reasonable boost setting, im manufactoring the exhaust manifold myself, going to try and do that as my University project hehe. as well as the down pipe! |

Oh and the Retro-renault stickers arrived after getting lost in the post 8 Months ago!
ANd the engine ready for removal, all disconnected etc etc, and looks like the WD 40 i sprayed in the bores dried up, and i couldnt open the bonnet due to where my dad parked it right under a tree!
