Nowt much happening this week, but not stopped thinking how to resolve the fuelling issues. Ive knocked up a rubber fuel pipe with torques braided rubber and fast flow fittings. Hose is identical to earls pro lite 350 so good for 150deg and 300psi. Be interesting to see if it makes a...

Used the orange dci today. First run out after new crank sensor. Its made a massive improvement to starting and idling from cold. All the time ive ran it (around 45k miles) its started quite harsh jumping into life, then idled fairly rough from cold but fine when up to operating temp. This was...

Cts rarely fail on these. Change the thermostat first that will probably resolve your issues.

Ebc yellows are crap, swerve them. Ferodo ds1.11 front and rear and decent fluid, motul rbf600 or similar will do the job. Also id stick to plain brembo hc discs. Grooved or drilled dont usually offer much, or if any performance gain.

Syringe it out before going. I left mine on minimum all the time after that, didnt cause any issues.

Echo the above, Drop the pas fluid level to the minumum level. It will save it chucking it out with heat and damaging the pump.

I need to order the drain clip on part for this, just keep forgetting. Filter wrench well worth investing in for the meg. Been out tonight and coolant/charge temps more stable with ducting too. Charge temps barely moving above ambient on the move.

Spare hour this morning. First job, oil and filter change. Assume position. I seen a 12 point oil filter wrench designed for the renaults of this era a while back which was recommended for the meganes, and bought one (BGS Technic 8259). BGS 8259 Tried it out this time and its amazing. Im...

No difference in wishbones. Use oem bushes up front for road and occasional track, febi bushes seemed ok oem equivalent when i fitted a set years ago to a 265. Track use only use uniball bushes. Dont bother with poly bushes on front wishbones, they are crap as the rears cannot rotate like oem.

200k club for the Blue dci today. Ive got a few site visits on and working in the big smoke for a week soon so will be going up quite a bit more.

Meg ndo box gets me working a bit, had sweat on doing the trophy😆

Bench press it in place and hold with one hand whilst threading a bolt in has always been my method..jc5 is light so super easy. On a serious note the studs/box spline hold it in whilst getting a bolt in. First thing to check is that the clutch release bearing is still in place and has not...

Looks normal.

Id imagine bearings be cheap shite in them. I fitted a mintex pair recently and they also had cheap bearings in. Main issue for premature fail is prob missing spacer or incorrectly torqued. Absolute eyes out at £350. £110 in parts and an hr to fit on a lift. Id replace with Snr or oem renault...
