Loving the bling mate :agree: just keep on top of it
Jon Smith aka Thundercat is currently in the process of refurbing my polished alternator for me :niceone:
It was u/s due to a flat spot? and its currently looking at using up three of my spare alternators just to make it usable again :laugh:
I have no idea when its comes to electrics so a big thank you to Mr Smith for bailing me out.

Takes me back stripping alternators mate :)
Throw away society nowadays :/
You and your chrome! Bloody gypo lol
Great work and detail again sir.
Is there much more on the 'to do' list?
I don't think the idle screw is chrome either but wouldn't be confident its not:laugh:
Will this one do?
Regards,
Steve
Tweak tweak tweak :agree:
You forgot to add 'remove perc fan brackets from bulkhead' to your 2014 list. I noticed it was an item from way back in the thread that never got attended to :D
This vicarious living I'm doing has got to stop :laugh:
What I need is a 4th GTT. Hold on. What I need is money first!
I'm just getting a new business off the ground with a couple of partners Davo. So it's likely to be a while, even in the event of success. :sad:
Sorry for the hijack Jon. :pirate:
The Polished Alternator rebuild is coming on nicely thanks to Mr Smith (Thundercat)
A knackered thread on the rear casing stopped play for a while :dearme:
The polished casings were lightly blasted due to excessive internal and rear casing corrosion.

Gonna be like wu tang clan in your engine bay with all that bling lol
Great work and detail
I've seen 2 sets, one set on eBay which I was bidding on & conveniently ended early! Grrr
I'd love a set to protect mine
Mine are lucas i think ash cant remember off the top of my head :scratch:
Some valeo ones here tho;

Like Davo says only seen covers on ebay an both ended early.
I was supposed to ring euro car parts earlier for the price of them.
£34 & £39 on the euro car parts website for headlights & in stock. No valeo ones left though.
A headlight is a headlight though lol.
When I last spoke to Valeo they had one in stock one side and that was it, I got two brand new Valeo ones and they didn't cost anywhere close to £120 delivered :eek:
Search on eBay LWB716 and LWB717, they may not be valeo but at just over £20 delivered a lot cheaper.
Sparkie was explaining the variance between the euro headlight with the different lamp angle etc last night, also could possibly be a Mot fail..... the over prism you have to fit if you go abroard is most confusing too!
Cheers bigfoot I may invest in some aftermarket cheapies.
The search for headlight stone chip protectors starts today..........
The look of protectors on an R5 is a bit grim :( and I always wondered whether it's necessary to use them, as I've never really seen chip damage to the exterior of GTT headlights?
Usually the reason to replace them is because the reflectors inside have gone dull.
I got 2 new headlights from Renault the other day. Think they were £36 each part number 7701030641 7701030642. Don't come with covers tho
You're the first then TC. Somehow that comes as no surprise :D
i JUST ORDERED BOTH HEADLIGHTS NEW FROM RENAULT THEY ARRIVED TODAY GOT TO PICK THEM UP SAT :) PLUS OTHER GOODIES
