Updates Washed the r26 yesterday as it looked a right state after Croft. Front was peppered with flies and rubber marks all over the sills/lower doors. Scrubs up ok. Changed the oil and filter for fresh again today, took advantage of some free lift time when my mates garage is quiet. Oil...

Its still running, id reset the timing and if running ok comp test it. If all checks out, prob got away with it. My only worry would be has it weakened the valves with them lightly kissing the pistons.

Dibs on the centre console if its unmarked, if you strip it.

As above download visu for clio x85, all the wiring info is on there.

Worth doing the steering rack bushes whilst in the area assuming its on oem rack. I have powerflex ones on mine, no idea if oem still available. Id say you have the rest covered ok though. Itll drive loads better with fresh suspension and steering parts on.

Small update. Treated it to a retrimmed steering wheel as the original R26 wheel was past its best. Had it trimmed in smooth nappa leather top and bottom, perforated nappa leather sides finished off with oem Lamborghini nappa leather yellow marker and yellow stitching. All done by...

A few pics from Croft. Still pleased on how well it performed on first outing.

Indeed got off lightly really. Would have been a bad day if it had let go on track.

Might get a bit on the top engine mount to bring it all forward if needs be.

Drain the fuel first or expect a petrol shower.

Get the bridgecrqft/northloop roll correction kit if going that route. Its excellent. Pair it with a plated lsd and you will be flying.

Sack off the emerald ecu for another standalone that can talk to the clio canbus system. I use Ecumaster black and stock dash works fine, i believe maxxecu and link also work.

Done well getting the rears glowing! I use Ds1.11 in the meg. Can hot lap for ages no fade and consistent pedal feel, with the added bonus of decent stopping power from cold on the street. I believe dsuno are also very good albeit dont last as long.

I had exactly the same experience with pbs, overrated pads imo.

Indeed mate would have ended up nasty if it had let go mid corner! Good to meet you too mate. I was going to swap them for fresh ar1 on sunday too, lessons learned never trust old tyres. 100% mate its russian roulette once tyre is getting on. Your welcome mate. Your clio was going great, i...

Updates With the decent weather finally here, fitted the technomagnesio wheels with yoko a048 for Croft. On the Makro run to test. Turn in on semi slicks compared to pilotsport5 is immense. Steering feels direct but on the negative side, less comfort and more noise. Monday comes and get to...

Decent repait that. When you get it back pop doorcard off and cavity wax the inside.

Injector cleaner wont fix a knackered injector, needs replacing.

As As @Mr Underhill said above get the lance in. Id whip rear doorcards and blast it in on the rear arch seams and sill. Dont forget to put some cardboard or whatever underneath the sill as the cavity wax will run out of any small gap onto the floor. Done my Trophy a couple of years ago.

Looks spot on. Get a load of cavity wax on the inner rear arches and inner sills, will stay rot free for years.

Renault dealer level diagnostics.

Get it scanned with can clip and it will give you an indication where to go, without that your guessing.

Updates. Got a set of Ferodo Ds1.11 pads for the front so fitted them on Sunday morning. Ten min pad change. Whilst in the area i greased the lower swivels on the perfo hubs via the grease bolts. These are an essential mod for mk2 meg to keep the swivel bearings right, do it once a year and...

Fuel filter is part of the sender in tank. Itll be worth changing full sender and pump at 125k, it will be getting near end of lifespan.

If discs still look good and pads have a decent amount on, might just need a deglaze to remove pad deposits. Try 70-30mph hard breaking x3 times basically get the brakes smoking. Let them cool and see if any better. If discs are worn/lipped and pads about done, brembo hc discs and stock brembo...

Assuming currently running ok, eml not on and assume its had oil and filters done already. Maybe a set of plugs if unknown age. EfiParts is the place to go.

Updates Croft prep today, with one week to go i thought i best pull my finger out. Woke up early due to dieting/controlled starvation so on it at 8am. First job pad change back to Ferodo ds1.11 and fit the posh pins. I refit stock pads for road use as saves the wear and excessive brake dust...

Normal. Doesnt generally cause too much of an issue when intank fuel pressure reg is holding pressure ok. With some remaps they prime every cycle

My mrs is brunette so must be another one. In coincidence she does drive it quite often and her mate is in Hartlepool so does get over there occasionally.

I would normally swap them over but ill prob leave them in after this one ready for Anglesey.
