Now you tell me :roll: ......I have just replaced my two headlamp glasses with OE ones at £191.25 each from Renault. (one got cracked in Macon)
Other jobs included... adjusted valve clearances after having to remove the coolant hoses above the offside rocker cover as there was 3 cover screws under the hoses that would not move, so persuaded them with thin nosed mole wrench.
While rocker covers off, resprayed them.
Soldered wire back on to oil pressure sensor due to apparent loss of oil pressure at around 80mph on way to Macon......heart stopping moment :roll:
Next job is to cover headlamp glasses with anti chip plastic film, as suggested by andyh877 the morning before the glass actually cracked :roll:
Apart from that....cover up in readiness for the North Wales Tour. :D
