Box of swan vestas sounds appealing :LOL: Ill have a good look round as it does seem much like an air leak to me as it usually starts first crank. Was it a leakoff pipe?

Updates. The long crank is back on the blue dci. To set the scenario. Car is in regular use and if driven daily, starts first crank on a morning and after running never fails to start. But, if you start it up, and move it a short distance i.e. to the front of the drive and shut it down and...

Updates. Weathers turned crap so decided to go back to stock wheels for a couple of months. Planned on doing it on sat but far too cold Sunday was better so loaded up the R26 van with original wheels on linglong gallopalong shite tyres and good used michelin ps5 that i was given a while back...

Excellent, looking forward to it

Take top engine mount off and inspect the cambelt for cracks and deterioration. Id do the aux kit as thats what usually kills these engines

Small boring update. A bit of prep for winter layup. Fired up and ran up to temp as need to drive onto small ramps to get the jack underneath. Fired up first time as if it had ran yesterday. Jacked up and ph1 225 wheels fitted, ds1.11 front brake pads removed and stock brembo pads fitted...

Its had plenty of use recently. 26mpg max drinking the juice. Commute to the office. Stripped out rear is good for shopping and moving stuff. Thanks for reading!!

Updates Intercooler on the r26 was a crap tube and fin gpi, chinas finest which looked terrible and performed as s**t as it looked from datalogs, 20+deg above ambient temps on boost. On turbo cars low charge temps are always king to keep the engine happy with nice cool dense air, which releases...

Oem renault steel sumpguard on mine.

Looks decent for the money, its had all the right bits of maintenance done.

Yeah the oil should be moving when engine is running. Im unsure if it will cause a problem. Probably worth checking level whilst sump is off with a few ltrs of water to see where it sits.

Daft question but is the oil return above oil level?

Run Cup2 connect on my kangoo. Doesnt take much to switch them on, and wet grip is suprisingly good. You will have no problems running them on the road. Ps5 are also worth considering. Turn in is really good as stiffer sidewalls over ps4.

Cheers mate. Its getting there slowly :)

I was expecting the same mate as seen it a load of times on the r5gtt's. Not done loads of miles yet but up to now seems to be ok touch wood!

Its not the best mate. I probably should have sorted this whilst subframe was off but had so much other stuff to do so left it.

Cant go wrong with silver on silver. Looks nice and fresh.

Updates. In earlier updates i changed the lower part of the turbo return pipe due to oil leaking onto the manifold. Not enough for massive concern but enough to cause a whiff of oil when pulling up at traffic lights. When lower part of oil return pipe was replaced, noted chemi metal all over...

Superleggeras look class.

O.e or aftermarket? All made of finest chinesium thin steel now i guess. On the older cars they used to stick closed which was bad so id say breaking or sticking open is the better out of the two, but still sh*te.

Change the ecu and loom to f4r as i cant imagine it running well with stock k4m ecu

Updates Super busy but managed an hr on the r26 today to sort the drivers side window. The window was working when i bought it but failed. Stripped it down and briefly worked when the wiring was moved. Assumed temic module or motor was knackered so stuck it back together and purchased a 2nd...

Cheers sir! Its coming together slowly:)

Quick enough at that power to have loads of fun.

I was going to suggest modifying the scale in hex as seen it done on meg rs. Certainly interesting stuff mate, i quite enjoyed doing a bit of that on my kangoo immob chip.

Sold my old front sachs for £700 in similar condition, no springs or top mounts and needed refurb. £500 is cheap for a full set with springs. From what Haswell said he wasnt impressed with them either, reckons the bilstein b14s that are fitted now are just as good, if not better.

Always screenshot any settings or take a pic just incase it goes pete tong :LOL:

Done a bit more today. Bumper undertray was missing which was not helping with airflow to the rad pack. Expensive as fcuk to buy new for a flat bit of plastic and unobtanium 2nd hand unless buying a full bumper. I bought a povo spec megane bumper undertray which was no where near when offered...

Ahh good old french shorthand on Renolink. I too have accidently lost settings doing simillar on the r26, dash was like an xmas tree for a short while :LOL:
