Hi all need your help, my temperature gauge is reading half way when I turn the ignition on & the engine is cold. I’ve replaced the temperature sensor with a gen Renault 1 & still the same, I’ve tried 3 different set of dials still the same, though it mite be an earth fault so I’ve spliced...

I’ve got 3 sets of dials & it’s the same on all 🤣

When you unplug the temperature sensor the dash is still the same (halfway). I’ve also replaced the sensor with a gen Renault 1& still the same. I also thought it was an earth fault so to rule that out I’ve spliced into the black wire just b4 the plug & put a permanent earth onto the gearbox but...

Evening all, so a quick update on the fuel pump issue, turns out it was the wiring at fault! Live & earth the wrong way round lol what a t**t. 3rd turn of the key & she berst into life! Ticks over nice & smooth with no leaks. Next problem is……. Temperature gauge is reading half way & not...

Evening all, hope everyone is well. Soooo long time no update! I totally underestimated this build, thought I could do it pretty quick but with family & work coming first we no how it is 🤣. Anyway I keep plodding on, as I’ve said before the mechanical part is pretty straightforward & the easy...

Evening all, question for the CS team, so the Clio 172 steering column doesn’t fit into the kangoo bulkhead inside, so I’ve put the kangoo column bk in, the 172 barrel doesn’t fit the kangoo column so I’ve had to put the kangoo barrel bk in, will I b able to use this set up with the Clio loom...

Loads of people have done this & to fair the mechanics side is easy! I’m gunna concentrate on the wiring side on things coz that’s what I’m struggling with, so will go picture heavy on that side

In the hole 🤣

So engine wise this is what’s going in. Fully stripped & cleaned along with ARP stud & nut throughout, plus all bearing. Thicker head gasket, new exhaust & inlet valves plus valve springs, port & polish u no the score 🤣

Wow 2023 was the last post! How time flys, family kids house work etc 🤣🤣. Massive update on the build pictures to follow. So the boring bits, engine is out the van & sold on. Removed the kangoo sub frame along with the lower arms, hubs etc. I’ve just gone full swap with the 172 subframe because...
