MOT Failure due to Tyre Wear (Camber issues)
shimmed my top arms out using washers measured with a micrometer.as long as you have enough thread left on the mountings its fine.all you need to do is get the camber in spec. as the front springs sag with age the camber and toe out will increase.the washers will sort it til funds allow.done mine two years ago and never had any issues regarding tyre wear since.

Fully Rebulit Gearbox but sounds noisy!!
If the noise goes when you push the clutch that would usually indicate first motion shaft,or layshaft bearing.fire it straight back buddy.make them take it back out i would.

What cat1 car alarm/immobiliser?
No your right.remote start or cars left with the engine running using a turbo timer will cause a major headache if it was to be stolen.the engineer told me this when my toad was fitted.he also said a zed would only need cat 2 cover due to its age.

What are....
the valves are waste gate solenoids.they are used by the ecu to regulate boost if the engine isnt up to temp or detonation is detected.you can bin them but youll loose these functions.

People's opinions on Renault Lagunas
Si,give me some notice and pop round and have a drive of the laguna 1.9dci.great on fuel,reliable,6spd box and handles like its on rails.The 406 was pugs biggest flop and residual values prove this.The xantias are ok but that will also be worth peanuts when you come to sell it.And if you get a petrol 406 or xantia it will depreciate faster than shit off a greased shovel.

There's No turning back now
too all those worried about any alignment issues of which ive never experienced in the five times ive removed a zed engine,paint tippex around the edge of the x member fixing nut.when the nut is removed it will leave a white ring behind making relocation much easier.

new tubbies
I was after a simalar turbo spec.I opted for z1 motorsports gt525s.they have the spool characteristics of t25s and are capable of 100rwhp more.they dont require any exhaust mods to fit them either.and at $1900 which worked out about £1200 at the front door youll have money left over spend elsewhere.

Exhaust Gaskets
Any of the known brands like instant gasket,or hylamor will do the job a treat mate.I learned of this years ago from a stainless steel exhaust builder.used it ever since even on mild steel systems and never had a problem.
