Twingo Accidental Twingo GT purchase.

[DaveL485]

It's a Renault, and it's a Turbo, and I didnt mean to buy it. But I did.



I don't think I am going to keep this one in the clan, so this thread should be short haha! Its got a broken windscreen so the dude is coming Friday for that, and it's getting a couple of other bits done and a bloody good clean before the MOT.

Anyone want a Twingo GT? Cheap!

Shame you sold the old 197 setup, you could have dropped it in

Dave you must have enough 21 parts to do a short wheelbase wide arch 4wd turbo special

I agree, he defo does haha!

Windscreen replaced



Rocker gasket changed - the heat from the turbo had cooked it and it had gone hard and started leaking





Injectors changed thanks to Adey giving me some spares, now running lovely

Now it needs a bloody good clean inside and out, and a run to the MOT station.

Never driven one of those but they seem fun

 

[DaveL485]

Had the chance to drop it in for MOT, needs a front spring and a hazard switch - not bad! On the hunt for the parts today.

 

[NRG]

Try keep pressing the hazard light switch until it works. Have to do this at work on many Renault's.
Main beams for a while should get rid of that headlight condensation

Timing belt kit and water pump, and aux belt this weekend. Running sweet! Nice and simple other than working space was a bit tight.

 

[Adey]

where did you get the kit from?

My local place, the water pump/timing belt kit was only about £60
