I've opened pandora's box on this car now, one handbrake cable was seized solid so I fitted a new one. Now working well. Next up the wiper linkage was flapping about, and turns out was broken. I stuck it back together with some of the glue from @Sparkie and WOW that stuff rocks! Glued the...

I fixed the washer jets I fixed the horn, needed a new compressor Tried to refit the wheel centres - fail - powdercoat thickness from the refurb is too much and I will need to sand them back on the edges - ballache! Then I just thought - feck it lets go for geo alignment, and as the place I...

Now returned to its owner, back on the road :)

Just take your time, you'll be fine. I did a roof skin, and put it upside down on an airbed while I picked it apart from the back.

I'm considering putting normal ones back on for the summer....maybe.

The last couple of times driving the Vee I have noticed a bit of a crankcase smell hanging around, and then on my last drive a wisp of smoke out the sidepods, so I thought it best to investigate. Took all the trim off over the engine, then the inlet manifold. Had to take the drivers seat out...

I'm game if you find a 182 and a 200 :)

No worries, I actually stumbled on a Renault 21 Manual brake servo last week, snapped it up and the 197 brake master is a straight fit...which is nice haha!

As far as I recall the bidder was UK based, or, his IP address was at least. These was a Cat S LY Megane 225 went for close to a grand the other week too, that went to Belgium though.

No idea, i'd assume the box was toast though after an impact like that, would have smashed the shaft back into the diff. If I could have got it for less than the resale value of the lump I might have give it a shot. Some stuff on Copart lately is mental, I almost bought a Cat B Ultima Evo the...

Around £800 hammer plus fees and VAT so over a grand and then transport costs. Conversely I saw a Cat B 250 Megane go for £150 the other week, A Cat B shell can only be bought by someone with a Cat B license and a certificate of destruction for the shell must be provided in 30 days.

I was watching this - can't believe how much it went for! Anyone on here? Was hoping to bag it cheap for the seats lol

Blimey, that was quite a read from the start to end...what a journey! Great thread! I found the thread from researching the compbrake brake setup you didn't get along with. I've been looking at one to use on my project as an option, along with a servo conversion and a few variations of both. OE...

Mad isn't it, basically they just hacked a shell apart and welded some stuff in. Badly. They took a standard Mk2 shell, whacked it on a jig and plasma cut half of it away. You can see on mine on the front end where they cut the front slam about to fit the bigger rad, they didnt even tidy the...

She understands it from her own house yeah :P i'm getting all of this done before she moves in and puts the brakes on haha. To be fair she did question the bucket seats and 2 sets of wheels in my bedroom cupboard but I cleared her a drawer for some weekend stuff and gave her a slot for her...
