Got the exhaust gasket sealant kit put on this morning. What a pain in the backside that was. Safe to say the old gasket was shot and hadn’t been sealed properly before. Sounds great now.
It does look good without the wiper. Mine just needed the wiper back on but looks more at home on yours! Glad it got there Ok and you’re happy with it.
Front pads have now been changed for DS2500.
I’ve given the callipers a coat of silver hammerite but the light went off like a switch this evening.
Also got a large can of bilt hamber and sprayed the inside of the wings whilst the wheels were off just to give them protection.
Properly productive few hours this morning.
Rad off and changed for nissens one. Old one had a leak which you can see looks like the rust below and had seen better days. Everything swapped over fan and mounts etc. Great fitment aswell.
Cleaned everything up whilst it was off.
Also changed...
This will be up for sale from 16th Oct.
Just purchased another car and so can’t keep this aswell. Full spec list for the car will be up in the next week and I’ll put an advert up aswell.
It’s going into local Renault dealer for the launch of the mk5 on the 15th so will be in the showroom...
2 updates in less than a week. Picked up a standard radio locally to replace the scratched one I have for £15.
Even better it came with this....A Renault Alpine stacker standard CD changer! Just needs a wipe down. A piece of modern history.
Thought this would be another nice little OEM+...
Massive update.
Mats! Thanks to @Mbeau got a nice set of what are almost new mats to replace the tired ones. And rear ones as cups don’t normally have them.
Updates to come!
Looking for recommendations on what backup options there are for laptops, iPhones and any other media I have needing to be backed up.
I currently use iCloud and pay for that but want something where the whole families data is backed up in one place.
If there is a wireless option that means I...
While since I updated but tonight moved the car and set about removing the front bumper so I can crack on with changing the radiator and PAS switch.
With the bumper off I hadn’t appreciated how much $h!t had built up in there over the years so cleared all of that out.
Just purchased some...
I’ve literally got my front bumper off at the moment and just purchased the bilt hamber AB aswell. So glad to see someone else is sticking it in the right place ?
Sorry to hear about the Bootlid. Hopefully you get something sorted.
I’m just about to embark on getting the rear sturdy replaced as because as I like the low look of the rear fully expect something has worn out causing it to be so bad over bumps ? where did you get all the bits from?
Some wheels caught my eye last night so I impulse purchased again ? and collect next week. Bit of a random colour but as they are second wheels it doesn’t matter.
OZ’s will be up for sale once the tyres are off and I have given the satin a fresh coat.
So bottom arms arrived and like new with the black series bushes in so they will be on soon.

This tickled me when 4 wheel nuts arrived in a box this size lol?

I have a seat problem...
Recaro Pole positions were on my
List but would then be worth more than the cup ? so just opted to sell my recaros the same as you have in and go with a sparco pro2000.
Look forward to seeing what you do with it. It is considered one of the best out there.
I think the previous owner before him is/was on here. Kyle I think, sure he owned it for a fair amount of time that’s where I know it from I think. I’d be surprised if there’s not a project thread on here for it.
I know what you mean. I think it’s already at a perfect spec by the looks of things, but there is always something as you know with any car. It’s the perfect base though. ?
Congrats on the purchase. It’s a well known car this one and been well looked after by its previous owners by all accounts.
Enjoy! Got mine a couple of months ago and loving it so far.
Are the steering wheels all the same in terms of they can all accommodate cruise control, regardless of whether or not they have had cruise on before?
Is it just simply a case of swapping the buttons and wires across from one wheel to the other?
Purchased a sparco pro2000 seat with side mount and frame to be collected at the weekend, so recaros will be coming out in the next few days. Please get in touch if interested.
So purchased some bottom arms with black series bushes for a good price as mine look like they are starting to perish so can’t be good for handling.
Also, this afternoon and after my experience on track at the weekend I’ve been contemplating selling the trendlines and getting a fixed bucket...
I’ve literally been contemplating going back to stock passenger seat and then a bucket seat for the drivers side and selling my trendlines this afternoon lol. Just think it would add further to the car but then again mines now a daily. I’m also scared of marking the trendlines. Lol.
