Cleaned up both dci's on Sunday. Rained straight after as expected!!
Mileage just clicked over 176k on the blue clio on a site visit today. Been keeping an eye on tyres on it as they can go from legal to bald in no time with the mileage racking up fast. Ive done 16k on the front michelin...
Which end has the cable snapped at? Pedal end?
Reminds me of when i had 3 aftermarket r5gtt clutch cables snap in a month. Put an oem one on and it lasted the car out!

Going back to post above i wasnt happy with the compbrake top mounts as the small spacers were missing. Looked at all options and oem are pretty expensive and no camber adjustment. To fix current ones spacers and bearings around £100 from compbrake. As i love destroying my bank balance...
Yep dont fit the trophy spoiler if you actually use the boot. Ive banged my head so many times on the boot on mine, still hasnt knocked any sense into me :LOL:
Ive pretty much had to retire my 1/2 drive socket set as breaking too much s**t. I use 1/4 or 3/8 all the time.
Ironically only started training in 2007 after losing a load of weight that made me weak as piss and couldnt undo a hub nut with a breaker bar :LOL:
Ill get one ordered on payday. Im a shithouse when it comes to blow torches or oxy and feel like its the safer option instead of setting myself on fire, and it will save me from snapping a few things with brute force :LOL:
Rumour has it, you could exchange halfords torque wrenches occasionally so you have a fresh calibrated one :whistle:
Im after a decent hot spanner. Looking at the cheapo ali express induction heaters. Any good? Dont want to spend a load for one off.
All you need is vehicle speed from the stereo wiring of all places, and rpm from your standalone ecu.

Fitted a set of my compomotive mo6 with new michelin ps5 mid week.
Loving the look over stock wheels.
Planned on taxing it on the 1st and taking it for a ride out. As i cant leave nothing alone i investigated the strut top knock on Sat. There is a small spacer which is missing and the...
Thanks all. Took it out for a test run and all is good regarding handbrake.
Theres a slight knocking on the passenger side front, i reckon its the spherical bearing in the compbrake top mount or the anti rotation link as i fitted a good used pair i had i stock which were tight, but maybe not...
Sunday update.
Not had much joy sourcing a used handbrake guide tube. New oem NLA and its 50/50 chance a used one will be useable.
As this is a guide tube it has no tension on it so just guides the cable via rear footwell into the centre console. Its quite a basic tube so had a go at...
Sat update.
After being awaken at 730am by the postie knocking on the door with car parts decided to do a bit.
First job - fuel hose. The short bit of plastic pipe from fuel rail to metal section had been replaced in the past for rubber, common repair for meg when original plastic pipe fails...

Pissed down straight after finishing so not coated them yet, ill do that tomorrow.

Forgot to say had a carry on with the radiator. Rad was leaking so changed it for used oem that i had in stock. Id done due dilligence and filled it with water to check for leaks and it didnt appear to leak? Flushed cooling system throughly and a load of shite came out. Filled with coolant and a...

Lower dogbone mount was kaputt so renewed. Ive alson fitred yellow powerflex insert to top engine mount. Checked cambelt whilst there...
Excellent footage @MarkCup
Definitely need to look at suspension setup on the Kangoo, found it hard to pedal it, but had mega fun for first use in anger!
