Brake Proportioning Valve

Chris,

My knowledge of Renaults might not be anyway near as expansive as yours but to say I was ignorant and that's what caused the argument is something I find a little unfair. I'm not gonna start crying or have a childish strop over it like but you should maybe re-read what I originally posted cos none of it has been edited. Ben asked if he had the valve already and if not, would he need one (We're all in agreement so far?). I assumed that as he now has the 16v rear beam setup fitted that the valve was part of this setup and told him to keep it as balance bars, whilst being nearly perfect for his task,
don't offer a road legal variable control over the rear brake bais when weight is added or subtracted to the rear of the car and as Ben will be keeping his interior and no doubt be using the car to take people about or sling things in the boot I thought it would mmaybe be a good idea to maybe retain the OE valve.

He does need some kind of variable control and it will most likely need setting up properly but how did my posts cause the argument?

Mick
 
actually, when i read this, i have to agree with mick, if I was doing it, i would have assumed it was a straight swap for the 16v axle, which uses the standard BBV, so i would have thought it would have been a straight forward case of fitting one.

but i am no brake expert, so again, its just what i would have assumed
 
If you lot could take your blnkers off and look outside of your wee clique, you will see that my answers were all based on Micks original post, where he CLEARLY refers to the BRAKE BIAS VALVE on the rear of the vehicle.
 
Clearly... remind me where I refered to it again as I'm not sure as to which section has got your goat exactly?

I'm pretty sure your first post said said:
Master Cylinder, my car has no load bias valve

To which Stan and myself self said that is no doubt because your cars ABS system takes care of it.

You then said:
But it's not always needed, like I said, mine doesn't have one and wasn't built with one.

Our entire argument here is over why Bens car doesn't need a rear bias/proportioning valve with his setup as it clearly does.

To which you said:
ok, keep talkin shite then

I think you're confusing my original post talking about him having a rear proportioning/bias valve with the bit where we switch and start talking about pedal boxes with adjustable balance/bias bars myself and you can't back down and say you just got the wrong end of the stick.

Chris says that his car doesn't have a rear bias valve which is proberbly true but 16v's have them and as he's running the 16v rear beam I originally made the assumption he has retained the valve to. Your'e saying he doesn't need one.

lol @ piss boy,.....i'll slap my cock round ur face and piss on u if I ever meet you (then punch fuck out of you)
 
What a gobshite you are, HND Engineering/Motor Vehicle Studies and RTITB levels 1,2&3, that's what I have, what do you have Ben?

Well..................

















....... I've got a 2nd class BSc (Hons) degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Furthermore I am also a City & Guilds qualified, and I'll quite happily admit (unlike you) that I lack the experience to preach to others in either field.

My point is, your letters and qualifications mean jack shit - that was proven the minute you tried to tell me my Energy engines run coil packs.

I can quite happily say that given the choice, I'd rather pay a chimpanzee work on my cars in preference to you sweet cheeks! :D

And that has what to do with the motor industry? (you could have a city & guilds in painting and decorating ffs) Do you even know what RTITB is?

And the energy engine thing, I admitted I got it wrong, I was thrown by the shape of the dizzy cap, and expected that a car of that age wouldn't have one, but ultimately, my diagnoses was correct, that it was that getting wet that caused the problem!!!!

Admittedly nothing to do with motor industry. My point was that letters after your name mean sweet FA the majority of the time.

And also it doesn't matter if you got it wrong, fact is it gave a pretty poor first impression as far as I'm concerned and even if you are pretty knowledgeable there are some things you post which defy all manner of logic and common sense.

And also identifying a simple wet distributor cap isn't a sign of a seasoned mechanic, most amateur car DIY'ers could probably identify a simple problem like that.
