My sisters is the 2 litre 8v and its rather nice. Only 120bhp though. Feels really good on the motorway.

The tracks quite wide, nice amoutn of rubber in the suspension, gives a nice ride.

oh yes my friend had a silver p reg laguna 2.0 8v ,they are quite nippy for a car of that weight. i love that console between the passenger and drivers seats on those cars .

so chris my good man , can you name me the possible donor cars for the manifold ,wiring loom and the ECU i am looking for and please confirm all i need is that 3 bits for this job please .
will just take my time and find them as cheap as possible no rush.

clio RSI, Megane coupe 2l 8V, 19 RSI, laguna 1.8/2 8V.

You need the manifold, loom, ECU. Easiest way is to find a 19.

You need the coolant hoses which are 19 specific. the others won't go.

i got a lot of chance there by the looks ,i did not know 2L and 1.8L engines would have the same manifolds .there are too many lagunas breaking around me ,i shall go and nose around

i can probably buy the coolant hoses from renault if i am stuck with them in the end .

i shall bug you about the job in the nearest future after i collect these 3 precious elements sir

taa mega kindly

On the subject of lagunas our work pool car is a T reg Laguna 1.6 16v, really horrible engine, makes my SPI seem quick - will struggle to pull from under 2k rpm and sounds like a diesel, a nasty, nasty engine!
Comfortable car though and great brakes.

i know what u mean but as i said ,renault will be the last choice and only for the pipes as they need to specificly be r19rsi ones .
i have time and patience my friend and shall succeed in the end.

yeah not bad at all for an estate car

estates are normally the best for aerodynamics as standard, a pointless fact but nonetheless intresting.

That's why Volvo always used estates in the BTCC,

Someone told me that, innit.

well they only used the 850 estate for 1 year and as with all these things it was probably marketing related.

did the laguna 1.8 come in single point inj at all .

i just found a laguna 1.8 inlet manifold on a car in a scrappy but the fella on the phone does not know if its a SPI or MPI .
knowing they only came in MPI form would help a lot

Site Subscriber Joined: 24 Apr 2004 Posts: 318

Chris will correct me but I think the RT was MPI - lesser models (i.e. the RN) was SPI

But I may be completley wrong Smile

Spammer Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Posts: 5717

i think i shall go there myself and have a look sometime . its quite difficult on the phone

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

marks right SPI RN's RT's were MPI

Site Subscriber Joined: 24 Apr 2004 Posts: 318

I'm right

Don't know where I dragged that bit of information from!

Spammer Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Posts: 5717

so if its an MPI manifold it will certainly do the job

what about the wiring loom of the same car ,will it be any good ????

and how do you exactly get the wiring loom out ????? i dont even know what it would look like

Forum Moderator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 1356

It would look like the wiring that covers the engine.. Confused

What George means is "Schakal mate, just undo every connector you see and pull the wiring loom out. Hope that helps"
