Thanks again mate
Loving the bling matejust keep on top of it
Jon Smith aka Thundercat is currently in the process of refurbing my polished alternator for me
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
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
Says you, Essex Boy
Someone spent alot of time polishing that alternator so feels right saving it. Plus, it is shiney
Hahaha! You'll need some ray bans for that engine bay. One of the finest examples on the clubSays you, Essex Boy

Great work and detail again sir.
Is there much more on the 'to do' list?
Chrome the belt?
I don't think the idle screw is chrome either but wouldn't be confident its not
Not much really just bulbs now i think, but im always on the look out for better parts than what ive already got fitted.
Other than that no major or even minor changes planned really, for this year at least.
Please dont give him the satisfactionI don't think the idle screw is chrome either but wouldn't be confident its not
Got to love the bling. Well I do anyway
Good to hear.
Must admit i have gone back and looked at how your car started off its so good to compare.
Can't wait till my to do list is down to just bulbs
Will this one do?How are you getting on with sourcing a Euro rear light cluster?
Regards,
Steve
Lol. I'm waiting for the postI don't think the idle screw is chrome either but wouldn't be confident its not
"after hours of attempting to chrome the alternator belt, I decided to just glue kitchen foil and kit kat wrappers on the back part of the belt"
On a serious not though, you engine bay is starting to look rather good young Jonathan!
Tweak tweak tweak
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
This vicarious living I'm doing has got to stop
You need to join a club mate... Wait!Tweak tweak tweak

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.
Sorry for the hijack Jon.
Hi Steve, that is the correct one but ideally im after new.
Thank you for taking the time to post the link tho

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
The polished casings were lightly blasted due to excessive internal and rear casing corrosion.
Then everything started to go back together nicely until...
...this!
After a helicoil kit the end is finally in sight

Looooove it
Gonna be like wu tang clan in your engine bay with all that bling lol
Great work and detail
Valeo I take it Jonny? And from speaking to sparkie these aint available from anywhere anymore...... unless you know of a source?Cars still tucked away for the winter so bored of waiting for the spring.
In the meantime ive been stock piling parts :-
New Headlamps

Ive also heard about renault plastic headlight covers than stand off slightly, you know about any of the either ???
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
Some valeo ones here tho;

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.
Try an tell the O.E brigade that...

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
Search on eBay LWB716 and LWB717, they may not be valeo but at just over £20 delivered a lot cheaper.
Bloody hell davo seems the o.e brigade dont mind non valeo after all.

What happened to Dale "if its not OE then it's not going on" Jarvis?
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!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

Cheers bigfoot I may invest in some aftermarket cheapies.
The search for headlight stone chip protectors starts today..........
Good point, completely forgot about that
Who says thatBloody hell davo seems the o.e brigade dont mind non valeo after all.
The look of protectors on an R5 is a bit grimand 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.
Totally agree with this!
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
I thought they got discontinued ages ago, unless you were lucky to find some at the local dealership?
. My dealer had to order them and I got them the next day.
Lucky boy!
Renault still got 1 left for one side and 3 left for the other side. Can't remember which side was which. If you want any get in quickLucky boy!
Pop down to mine mate- I've got 2 that have more chips than a Texan poker playerThe look of protectors on an R5 is a bit grim

You're the first then TC. Somehow that comes as no surprise
What can i say? I'm unique...You're the first then TC. Somehow that comes as no surprise
