Pumping pedal during bleeding can add air also :shock:
Pedal should not go to floor at all, only had that happen after spirited drive down fav roads with lots of heavy braking.
Boiled fluid even with everything uprated :roll:
Well the Conti 3's are on the garage floor & my new road/track rubber is finally on.
After a few quick drives am very suprised how good the new rubber is, just need a few wet days to compare levels of grip with contis & paradas :D
Phone a genuine renault garage & get the part numbers for him.
Starts 77, kit includes new idlers & tensioners, but may also come with the timing belt kit?
When i sold my T all paper work went & i had both done at 3 yrs.
Yes once in they won't let you out :D
Just had a result with the warranty regarding a hole in one, thread is on RS.
A quick test drive will not show up the hidden strengths of these cars, the lack of 5k kick is also known. But it pulls solid to the limiter in every gear :twisted:
You forget i had a T for 2 1/2 yrs & the Cup is not just another hot hatch it's the next generation RS :wink:
On my favourite test track the brakes on the 197 are awesome (they should be as they are the same as the R26). So much confidence being able to brake as late as possible & still be in...
So you have Renault warranty?? It may just have saved you a fortune :wink:
In the daylight lift bonnet & look on top of engine. Any oil leaks anywhere, round bolts or inlet manifold etc??
If so, back to renault & tell them you want it fixing :D
For renault to stop the leaks they have to...
No mods 197 Cup will give the Trophy a run for it's money.
On track std vs std the brakes on the trophy will give up laps before the huge 197 brakes.
Awaits the slating :D
Well Silverstone came & went :D
The Cup did not dissapoint, infact with a set of sticky tyres i'll be sorted.
No brake mods needed as they are so powerful from stock, balance & poise again were a revalation.
For off the showrom floor it is hard to believe how sorted these are.
Which...
Think the new look clio may be a grower, not sure as of yet.
The stiffer susp etc is over the standard models, not previous RS model.
I find the 197 cupped susp to be harder ride than my Trophy but trade it against the handling benefits, i'll live with it.
On track it really is awesome, even...
There is a reason the tickets were £38 #-o
Should of forked out for a proper day, would of been far more use!
As said you will be lucky to get out of 3rd, more of a time trial circuit than a trackday :lol:
Watch out for the 'mound' :wink:
Well coming from owning a trophy for 2 yrs+ the 197 Cup i have now is more than a match for the trophy.
Standard no mods or sticky tyres all i can say is 'wow'.
The brakes are what the trophy needed from day day one, more feel & masses more stopping power that is endless, with no fade.
The...
The figures quoted are for professional drivers & i don't consider myself that good :^o
My tomato had yozzasport exhaust, maxogen, mag 15's & R888's with ds2500 brembos & lines / fluid etc etc etc.
After mastering Oulton for most of the day i had the last 45 mins in the Cup, would of been...
What yr is it?
My neighbour was doing a job at a customers house & mentioned trackdays, got shown to garage to find w reg lotus with 9K on the clock.
Guy was about to trade in for a new one, neighbour got it for peanuts as stealers had bid mega low :D
Trev think you'll have it for quiet a while at that price.
You offered me less for mine back in July when i was toying with having your R27 & you had that for sale for almost a yr :o
I got a fantastic price for mine, but that was before all the jobs & credit dried up.
Andy ebay'd his & got...
Gearbox oil stinks.
Have you changed oil recently? as in you may have oil on the undertray dripping out?
Is it defo oil & not water, ie aircon condensation?
Give 01509 213030 a call ask for Renault & John tell him the symtoms.
They may even look at it for you.
Tell them steve says hello
