[KingStromba]

Im after some shiny reno gifts.

Whats the 10 easiest cheapest things to replace in the engine bay?

Particularly anything that gets dirty / rusty?


So far i have

1. Radiator upper brackets and mounts (about £4 each)

[Jamie.]

what do u mean by "cheap?" less than £20?

[Andyvalver]

lol, cheap and williams/valver dont go together

[KingStromba]

less that 10 quid

2. All nuts and bolts

[Jamie.]

how much is a heat sheild? they always look tatty, not sure how much they are but it makes the engine bay look better IMO.
for less than a tenner, not sure what else to add, was going to say an expansion bottle as mosts peoples looks well shitty!

3. Front and back engine to bonnet seals (10 each)

[big hp]

Spark plug cover £12

[KingStromba]

[big hp]

Header tank.

Unsure of cost though.

[KingStromba]

What are the little rubber seals that fit round the tray thing the sparks sit in?

[Andyvalver]

Where is the spark plug cover?

[KingStromba]

[big hp]

Yes £12 and a few pence with standard 10% discount. Also comes with the 2 screws required to secure it. I bought one 2 weeks ago :D

[KingStromba]

Are they very shiny new?

[big hp]

Plastic is matt and the yellow writing looks fresh as a daisy.

I thought it made a worthwhile difference.

2. All nuts and bolts

u wont get all the nuts and bolts found in the engine bay for a tenner mate.

try it - and post the results.

[KingStromba]

Didt say i was going to buy them all at once. But individually they range in price.

Im well aware what they cost.

[Swervin_Mervin]

New bonnet strap/wire?

ooo good one.Whats the price?

[Swervin_Mervin]

Errr. £7-ish IIRC. :?

[lagerlout1]

HT leads? What do they go for these days??

I bough new header tank cap, brake fluid res cap and oil cap for my TR - that made a difference. Only a few quid each. Depends on the colur I suppose as to how much difference it will make.

I reckon mine came to a total of about £1.50. Not original Renault ones though.
