c'mon gang! surely someone can stick their head under the bonnet and see which pin the wire goes to!! would rather not flip a coin on the matter. Unless wires go to both pins...

Getting real good at digging up old threads, can someone share the belt size you use for this set up? I have something similar on my build but have long since forgotten the belt size.

I had previously removed my alternator plug and fitted a spade connector as I was running an alternator from a mk1 on the alternator mounts I have. Now I have a new cup alternator, I am told the VVT solenoid plug can be used on the alternator so will wire that on but what pin do I need to wire...

Your MOT tester is telling you to find the guidance on the MOT guide? Sorry but it's that their job? It does seem like not all testers are created equal, and finding those more familiar with the niche rules is key.

Thanks, I guess I was just wondering, even with the friendliest of testers how it is justified if you get pulled over by the police. but it seems like the loophole is all above board so its all OK technically.

I'm thinking airbags, original seatbelts ABS etc. More that you could reasonably put back in just for an MOT. It's been about 15 years since I've driven my clio on the road, this all came in since them. But this demonstrates my point. Is there any responsibility to prove that its a competition...

so with some updates from photos from my helper (shout out to my parents for letting me use their garage for my build). Love that all photos taken by my dad are in landscape. nice candid once engine was in. Subframe out and lined up with the car. Followed by the wheels and putting it back...

New oil pump installed, it looks huge by comparison, i had to go back and cut more of the sump off, but I didnt take any pictures. Very close to the crank too, but Nick from PMS and members on here assured me this was OK. Also ARP bolts were installed when I put the new big end bearings in...

Right! Reasonable update this time! Firstly - front suspension back on and looking good! I need to get some kind of cleaner for my arches to make them sparkle a bit more! any suggestions would be great. I was then hitting a bit of a wall with the build. I new I needed to drop the sump after...

Well the servicing costs a very reasonable, especially if you pay cash and drop them off/pick them up yourself!

I am planning on having my track car completed by sometime late spring, it has been about 10 years since I have had a road legal track car and it seems that the MOTs have gotten a lot stricter with more binary rules like "factor safety equipment must be retained". Now I know a number of people...

This was the Mégane kit sold on the pms website.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thanks!

Dig dig Are the flywheel mounting holes equally spaced? How does one make sure they get the notches for the tdc sensor in the right place?

Does anyone know why there is an empty hole? I thought I had bought too few m7s earlier until I realised there wasn't meant to be one in the top left.
