Hi All,

About to purchase a V35 but the Pop-up LCD sticks when you try to raise the screen.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and was it a major job to finish.

I know its not a biggy especially as I won't have the LCD operational for a little while but everything else on this car I like and if I can fix this issue easily, I would like to make the purchase :P

depends where it sticks. there are two giudes at the base of it and a decent spring. if the spring is stuffed then you get part of the problem. guides are greased and if there is crap on them you also get that probelm. getting the thing out to check is a bitch.

Hi Chris,

As per our phone conversation here are the 2 links of 2 cars I am interested in :-

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...35&trecs=36

The link above is the 2001 model which the LCD sticks and you need to tap the side of the unit to get the LCD up.

The link above is the 2004 which I am unsure if it has the LCD screen at all, also I am unsure if it is the 4 or 5 speed.

Let me know what you think ?

Thanks

Also there is this one , I am really excited about this one as its from a dealer 'Kamakaze Motors'

1st car - I have a navi box for that one IN ENGLISH!

std interior - good idea. did that exact car about 3 weeks back now- car was from MLB as well.

electrical issues are as I mentioned. radio being the key item.

2nd car:

better from a modifiers standpoint. no dicking around with audio - rip that out and go again - radio only. to be honest toss a all in one barand name piece in there and you are done.

externally - better car.

3rd car:

NO!

if I cannot see a decent shot of that thing then that tells me something is hiding.

if you DO inspect that one - check the seatbelt dates. if they all match great. if not - walk away.

I haev see those with full frontal hits and you would not have picked it.

Damn, I didn't read your post Chris and put a $250 deposit on the 3rd Subject to a RACV and Finance. So I didn't check the seatbelts I bought it from a dude called Shui @ the former Kamakazi Motors. I will post some pics soon as I get damn bluetooth working. It seemed what I was looking for at the more right price... :blush:

last time I did this it was with a scan tool and a customer with a $38k cheque in his hand. even with photos at hand I still tore a certain black coupe to shreds with paint,belts and undercarrage damage. I think you get the gist. get hte thing UP on a hoist, inspect EVERY inch of it and look at teh seams. also take your favorite fridge magnet with you as you will need it. get a totally UNBIASED report on it. as a marker I know of a car here in brissy (blue coupe) that has the entire passenger side done and externally you wouldnt pick it. I didnt until I did the audio in it and found the cut/pick marks onthe inner shell.

key point - inspect the hell out of it. granted its not a $100k car but its still a deecent whack of $$ to lose.

that side of things is up to you. I'm offering an opinion based on previous cars I have seen/worked on. there are others on this forum that know a lot more than me on them only they tend to post a lot less than I do.

hence my comment. I dare say when you look at the paint (and being black it will be VERY obvious) that you will see different shades as well. if you are lucky you will see the overspray as well. also look under the seats for the airbag harnesses that are bypassed (assuming it did the bags or the pretensioners.) as well. there are a LOT of little things on these that get stuffed up when you crack them into something so be wary on that.

If you can find out it's history and it's only a small bump. Why not.

But if it has taken a big hit then there could be all storts of nasty surprises.

If you heart is set on this car then spend the money and get a pro to look at it. If your unsure, keep looking for that prefect V35 it maybe the very next car you look at :D

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
