Hi mate,
Thank you! This has given me the kick up the arse to get the car out for summer. I've gone back to uni to career change, so time for enjoyment (and £2+ per liter fuel prices) have limited that somewhat!
I'm just outside of Selkirk here, so I'm sure you'll see me around over the...
Hi Folks,
Bit of a long shot but does anyone have a 197/200 dipstick ring gauge kicking around that they fancy selling to me?
I need one for my 182 and renault have these on back order with no delivery date.
It's part 13 here with the number 7700112004
Any help appreciated!
Quick update on this.
It's being dropped off at renomotive this weekend for stu to work his magic.
New gearbox and clutch to be fitted.
197 dipstick to be fitted
Advocult PS lines to be fitted.
That's then pretty much the car sorted - short of a new windscreen and 197 injectors...
I'll keep you posted!
Stu @ renomotive (the man for clios in Scotland) bent my standard PS lines to clear the AC delete. He said it's fine to run for now but ideally they need changed to the advocult setup for a proper tidy job. You may as well do it properly though to be honest if you want to...
Hi mate,
Not yet! I've got a few bits to do first (trace a coolant leak and fit the fiberglass bonnet), but once that's all done, it'll be the next job to get the new gearbox in and get a set of advocult PS lines in.
Hopefully some point in the spring I think. They've been recommended to me...
A bit of an update on this. Lots to do as always but being back at uni has meant it's been hard to get time to work on the car.
Spent the best part of this afternoon doing a few bits. Popped an order in for a fiberglass bonnet, so that'll be collected soon.
Removed the rest of the A/C...
Has anyone re-trimmed their headlining?
I've got a second headlining and fancy trimming it to match the dark grey alcantara on the recaro trendlines.
However, trying to find material that matches is a nightmare! I must've ordered about 6 samples online (fake alcantara/suede type stuff) and...
That's rotten luck, but it could have been a lot worse!
Definitely get on marketplace and find a dodgy Yaris/berlingo/just eat spec shed to use for while the weather is grim
I'm looking for aerocatches or bonnet pins to give me a little more clearance on my inlet.
There seems to be two options.
Butcher the standard bonnet and fit the catches (it's not in the best shape anyway), or get a fiberglass bonnet and go down that route.
The fiberglass route will cost...
I'll have a look tomorrow for you and snap a pic. Im sure I had to slightly drill the hole a touch larger, but it's spot on now
I did think that might be the case! To be honest, I'm not too arsed about the rain sensors. Thanks man, I'll get auto glass to have a look over the winter months.
