we all have to deal with them and they bliddy annoy me!
The megane, heads all done, ready to get slapped back on.
Valves etc all ready to go.
All I need is a headgasket set, I was told they had them in stock but I need to wait till monday.
If I had got it last night like I was meant to the megane would have been up and running tonight.
But instead it has to sit until monday motionless.
Crap like this always sets me back, its worse when you have to farm stuff out, like tyre fitting etc.
Got Bens locking wheel nut off the front passenger wheel so I could fit the rack gaiter I suppose. |

aye.
renault silly money and up to a week.
GSF don't do them.
Euro will get it on monday and its £20.62 for the head set (I am wondering if its really that cheap but the site and guy back it up)
PMF can get me a FAI gasket set for 45quid + the dreaded but simon has a great distrust of FAI after some dilema with minis or somehting. |

well its a head set so I should, if not I'll make a big scene cos I am not waiting all that time for a headgasket.
gasket alone is a different proce.
Its all the same as the clio/19 16V aside from the inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets. |

I'm just glad to hear you got it off!
Not liking the look of that chassis rail! |
