My 8 year old gates cambelt off my dci that had done around 40k looked ok when fitted could still almost see the writing. When inspecting it properly, deteriorating/well passed its best. Tensioner still appeared to be fine. i dont doubt they can run a couple of years longer if car is stored...

Assuming current exhaust is straight through with one silencer at that db? Might be worth considering a map tweak when adding the new system and cat as will be adding in a restriction, even if minor.

Before starting - Try turning ign on, off, then on again so fuel pump primes up and start. The fuel pressure reg goes weak in tank and causes starting issues but usually start ok after fuel pump primes.

Dephaser wont be causing low compression issues, i agree with your mechanic. Needs a leakdown test to confirm the cause of low comp.

Sunday update. Orange dci back together and done a few miles in it, all seems fine no issues so job jobbed. Blue clio needed some tlc next. Brakes have been making an annoying ticking due to rust and discs were worn on inside quite bad with pads down to 30%. I was given a new set of discs and...

Its mega, only cost £35 too. Ive knacked a few seals with a socket in the past so was worth buying

Next job was radiator replacement whilst coolant was out. Rad had seen better days and damp in a few places/smelling of coolant after last use. Pull old rad out, bolts snap on top mounting brackets as expected, however was not expecting the oem spring type hose clips snap due to rust! Basically...

Updates. Orange dci was well overdue a cambelt and aux kit. 8 years since last one so dropped into the 24-25 cyclical maintenance program as urgent job. I ordered the parts January last year from autodoc but failed to fit them. Gates cambelt kit including water pump, febi aux belt (no...

@R-Sport. Are them the cs that are now in my trophy?

Not had many issues to be fair, seems fine up north. Almost on par with my work iphone on ee.

Get a 2nd hand engine ecu from the uk and swap your immobiliser over. Some places will virgin the immobiliser on 2nd hand ecu so plug and play.

Yes been done before. No idea on which rails you need to use.

Currently sim only on 02, 60gb data £10 a month.

Not had the pleasure of doing an ac aux setup. Id expect it to move though. Common for them to seize up apparantly, not sure if it means this bush or the tensioner pivot

A1231 used to be my mexican road of choice down your neck of the woods :LOL:

Ill defo need the bad day kit on standby :LOL:

Updates Enjoying it. Run to Whitby last Sat with some fun on the b roads. Later on that evening a Bm ix1 xdrive30 ev thing was pushing me on local dual carriageway. I managed to pull a couple of car lengths on it in 3rd gear easy enough to basically get it off my arse as its led headlamps...

Straight on as it comes no diluting. Let it dwell for a short period then agitate.

You wont see any improvements in turbo fwd traction on cc's. Just that time of year, any hot fwd turbo car aint laying it down in lower gears.

I have cross climates on my daily and they are decent in the low temps and hard wearing. Ive no complaints about Ps5 in low temps either, for a summer tyre they are great. Mine have around 4mm on and not had any arse nipping moments. Theres limits to both, but no dramas if driving to the...

I also noticed the better turn in on ps5 compared to ps4, sidewall must definitely be a bit stiffer.

Running ps5 on my r26, no complaints seem better than normal ps4. Dont perform as good as 4s but price is better.

Get the valve guides checked for wear and replaced if ness. Stem seals need to be changed as a matter of course. Not sure if you need spring change, maybe 197 if they are better than 182 ? Unsure if they are or not but it will be matched to cams. You will need to check installed height of the...

Ive had a gob full of type d a few times bleeding the renault 5 gt turbos. Puts hairs on your chest :LOL:

5 years/2028. Not planning on stockpiling so no concern to me. Cheap on autodoc.

Febi type d arrived. Colour looks correct, id be suprised if it isnt the same stuff in a different container.

Rstuner is nice for datalogging. For anything else its a separate module, id use Renolink or clip if you want it for diagnostics.

Tap water causes no issues for flushing, simply flush and blow water out/fill up with coolant. Not in long enough to leave any deposits.

Need to flush block, heater and radiator forwards and backwards with a hosepipe to have half a chance of it not changing colour.
