    As above, jack on the inner chassis rail or subframe at the front, use timber on the subframe as it dents easy. On the rear jack up on the ball part of the rear beam .

    182 rear brake pipes NLA, any other Renaults make a good substitute?

    If you must have the same as oem, just get a hard pipe made up with a join for a short ptfe braided flexi that connects to the caliper.

    182 rear brake pipes NLA, any other Renaults make a good substitute?

    My trophy has braided hoses from master to abs block as all re routed for the turbo conversion, front brake lines from abs block to calipers are ptfe braided and pedal feels superb, so agree does not make any difference. My local motorfactors will still knock up a brake pipe and dirt cheap...

    Few leaks here and there

    Degrease the cam cover and run it to pinpoint the oil leak. If its cam cover gasket its a pretty big job as its cambelt off to remove it, which needs specialist tools to do properly.

    Aux belt changes time interval

    Book is 3 years from memory. One of my mates who worked for ren claimed they recommended yearly changes on the ac aux setup if doing a few miles as it give so many issues, with tensioner seizing etc.

    Clio 1.8 16v RWD

    Wossner Valves

    Its just a shim on top of the valve stem oil seal instead of being under it so still at the bottom of the spring/head side, not the retainer side which would add moving mass.

    Daily dci

    Small update. Van rear interior and shelf in the blue dci has made a decent improvement to road noise on motorway use. Its not exactly refined but any improvement is heading in the right direction. Stereo setup sounds a little bit quieter on mid range with rear speakers removed but better in...

    197 brembo pads?

    Ds1.11 are mega. I had hardly no airflow to my brakes on the extra van at Anglesey, the brakes were so hot that the lacquer melted on the wheels, no fade at all consistent pedal feel and bite throughout.

    197 brembo pads?

    Wouldnt touch pbs or ebc personally, cheap for a reason. If you want unreal power stick to the ferodo or pagid. The ds1.11 bite from cold is awesome but wear the discs fast. The pagids have less bite from cold but mega when on it. Ive just fitted a set of brembo 250 calipers to an astra vxr...

    197 brembo pads?

    Every good pad is really expensive for mk3/mk4 rs, its mad. Are you after ultimate track performance or just upgrade over stock? The stock brembo pads are terrible on our 250, ive been considering going for mintex m1144 as bit cheaper at £200ish.

    Another one - Sport yellow meg 250 cup.

    Cheers mate, It is indeed sport yellow. Im not sure if there is a couple of different shades as it looks slightly lighter than the old one we had. Assume no fading to this as its been garaged forever. Cheers mate, Appreciated. Yours looks mega clean in the pics, Need to pop down and have a look...

    197 brembo pads?

    I believe the 250/280 meg calipers are the same. Ferodo ds1.11 or pagid rs-29 will do the job for track use. Prices seem to be similar everywhere.
