Price

Description

Unfortunately with the noisy gearbox my F7R megane is up for sale, being broken. Uneconomical to buy a new clutch and gearbox for it as the bodywork's not very good.
Also spares or repairs but if there's interest in the parts I'm willing to break and arrange individual sales. I don't have the space to stock tens of items once the shell goes though.

Items up such as:-

F7R Engine
121,000 miles. Headgasket changed November 2010, around 115k miles. Fired between cylinders - no coolant issues. Have the old gasket to show as evidence if needed.
FAI gasket kit used, brand new head bolts. Also fitted brand new continental timing belt.
Can be seen running in the car. "pulls strong, no knocks or rattles" as they all say. In my ownership serviced every 5k or so with good 10w-40 oil and champion filters and NGK plugs. No cold start issues, no idle problems, no dead spots. Come and see for yourself if you're nearby. It can still run around the roads in the area but i suspect there are not many miles left in the box.
£180 I have no engine crane, but it is possible to borrow one to remove the engine from the car and have it ready for you if a sale is arranged. It has done a couple k since its last oil change - for a sale i'll do it again so you have fresh oil and a new filter on.

F7R Megane Coupe ECU
Price TBC. Make me an offer if you want now, I will be working out a sale price on this.

Half leather seats
VGC. "Sportex" is apparently the other half of the material. Black leather (pics to follow). Plenty life left. 2 front and the rears. No door cards to match though. The seats go pretty well inside the standard F7R coupe interior TBH.
£80. Easily removed for sale. Courier for these would need to be arranged by the buyer however.

16" Dinards for F7R Megane
I have 8 - 2 are buckled and off for scrap value. the other 2 have Kumho ecstas on and are the original wheels. Need a light refurb. Minor scrapes, laquer peeling. Tread depth TBC.
£30 - for the two with the kumhos on.
4 much cleaner tidier better condition Dinards. Pics to follow. Extremely VGC.
Nankang tyres on all 4, one with a very slow puncture. Tread depths TBC.
£100 - for the four. Cleaned.

Goodridge stainless braided brake hoses for Coupé
Not sure if these would fit an R19 - im sure the unions are the same, question is the lengths.
Been used on the car since last brake service at 115k, using "Racing" DOT 4 fluid. If you find suitable for a car with DOT 3 or something else I can probably flush and clean them out for you if we agree a good sale.
£30 - All four.

Tar-ox 280mm G88 Brake discs
Fitted at 115k with yellowstuff pads.
I wouldn't normally sell brake discs, but these aren't normal discs. Absolutely fantastic durability and no brake fade. I had ONE track day after bedding them in gently for 300 miles and never had one problem stopping.
They were fitted carefully and treated to copper grease in the right places, have not rusted anything near as much as the originals. Before I fitted - the grooves were 3mm deep. After the bedding in and the track day - 3mm deep. I'll check for clarity tonight but IIRC they are still 3mm. Barely any wear even on EBC yellowstuff pads.
Will be cleaned up before sale if anyone is interested. £200 + delivery on here:- Tarox / G88 Brake Discs (Front) / Renault Megane (95-02) 2.0 16v (280mm Disc) 8/95-02 / Euro Performance Car Parts
£60 - for the pair.

Renault Brake calipers
Front:-Cleaned, hammerite black painted (2-3 coats), checked and fitted at 115k, off a Ph2 with 60k on the clock. Bleed nipples and seals all in good nick.
£15 each.
Rear:- Same as above.
£10 each.


Various interior items
It all works on the inside. Electrics are fine except for one single dodgy bulb connection that lights up the fan dial.
Carpeting dry and in tact, dashboard all there, speedo white dial clocks, etc a little less "desired" but available to sell. Power sunroof, interior lights, switches, door cards, seatbelts, etc.
Generally if you have something you need let me know, it's all there right now.

Various suspension items
Struts / Wishbones / F7R Top mounts / Rear beam / Bilstein rear shocks (fitted at 94k).
Same as above. Maybe set prices to follow in a few days.

Keys and Immobiliser unit
Maybe these need to go with the ECU. Depends on the buyer.
Price TBC

If you have any queries, do ask, thread or PM. If you want to buy it job lot, call the don and get him to make me an offer I can't refuse.

Wow. I can't believe this....I rang up the local renault breakers in tilbury, they take and sell all sorts of bits. Even sold me the calipers I have on there at the moment.
Didn't need to mention anything on the car, just briefly "it's the 2.0 16v" "oh right the williams engine? cool, lemme ask my boss"
So the boss picks up the phone "we're not interested mate". Didn't even hear the age, mileage, spec or nothing else whatsoever. A renault breaker and they didn't want it. Shocking TBH!
 
2.0 16V coupe are going for feck all at the mo. But remember their once was a time when R19 16V was going for feck all.
 
Well I've SORNd the poor girl. Insurance runs out today.

All and sundry parts available still, doesn't need to run, just needs to stand and be able to be lifted onto the back of a low-loader.

Man I hate not having the space to do these things properly!
 
I'm afraid she's had to go mate. £150 from a scrapper though. Plus whatever rebate I get on road tax.

All that's left are 2 mint dinards, 2 buckled old dinards and 4 hub caps which have an interest.
