Maybe it’s just me but I’d rather just go somewhere they are going to do it right the first time. Trying not to knock them as they are all very friendly and customer service is Bob on. Great bunch of guys. Just too many stories not getting it right first time.

Always happy to have a square go.

Maybe a bit of a jont but pro-grip in larbert or even better automek in East Kilbride. I wouldn’t touch ALM the guys are really friendly but I’ve heard varying reports on alignments. Also will cost you double of what it will at automek.

I’ve not been too picture heavy here as I’ve just been working sweating away on the car. I’m not used to this manual labour these days! So after investigating why my box was leaking turned out to be a torn seal at the gearbox end. Easiest solution was grabbing a shaft from renomotive and...

I thought I had a long list of stuff before CSF 😂 fair play that’s some graft!

I used a 20mm as that’s what I had to hand, but I think you could just about get away with 10/15mm it’s very close though.

Not really managed to do a great deal with this due to having a fairly busy life at the minute. I’ve fired a load of miles on it though and it takes it like a champ. Front tyres where needing replacement and I always look out for wheels with tyres for sale before buying tyres. Thankfully my...

Not updated this in a while, sold off the recaros and have a pair of 182 seats in the front now. Bliss for the type of driving I do in this. I’ve fairly neglected the car for the winter period and with CS festival booked I wanted to get it MOTd and serviced. dropped the oil and ended up...

@LincsClio That would be magic mate, feel free to shoot me a message or introduce yourself there and hop in!

I’ve just booked tickets, will be my first time attending a Cs.net event even though I’ve been on here for all these years. Going to bring the car and van will have my friend drive the van down. it will also be my first time on track wondering if anyone would be willing to jump in with me in...

Took a trip down south to Silverstone in the van a couple weeks ago. Faultless journey besides the van still being started on the sniff. Great upgrade having the 197 seats in much more comfortable and having isofix I could fire in a baby seat and take my niece and nephew a drive out in the van...

New EGR came today. Definitely a cheaper made part, although I recon the controller part is interchangeable, so if need be I can use the old one on the new one Old one back out and as you can see very broken New one installed: Took it a spin and still had eml light showing so took the van a...

Added the curtain between the cab and rear for a bit of privacy when the campers rocking in a lay-by of an evening. Quite chuffed with it. Bought it for a vivaro, just had to cut the rail down a touch but fits well. Has buttons down the side so it doesn’t flap in the wind, and little buttoned...

It’s very good access on these no need to take that off unless you’re doing suspension bits really. 2 x 8mm bolts off of the engine hoist bracket and wiggle the pipe out. Egr itself is 3 x 8mm bolts. Easily accessible with a deep 8mm on a small ratchet. Egr might need a wiggle to come out. Or if...

Pretty easy to access. I think it comes on Wednesday so will fit it then. cleaned this pipe as it’s usually choked up, wasn’t too bad but my God was It a messy job, in fact I would advise get someone else to do it 😂 some oven cleaner and a full can of brake cleaner. It got that messy after...

Rutherglen

Set about a few jobs today, as with most things one step forward 2 steps back 😂 Brake discs and pads up front, some brembo from AUTODOC and pagid pads from RTR. Thankfully was fairly straight forward as brakes go, nothing nasty and everything came off as it should! Fired on a 20mm spacer at...

Do as I say not what I do 😂

Both are dead easy to separate from the bases, mix of 13mm and 17mm nuts im sure 6 of them. The short answer is the steel was free 😂 but 2mm is a thick bawhair really!

Yeah steel flat bar. Seat belt bolts on to seat base, you need to trim a little bit of plastic off the inside of the side trim. Also you’ll have to trim a bit of the rubber carpet next to the seatbelt to allow the seats to move back and forward freely, but it’s covered by the seats. If you want...

Far cheaper and most likely more reliable. Lots less headaches.!

Fired in the 197 seats today/night. Fair bit of f**king about to get them in but they are in that’s for sure. used the kangoo seat rails and some 5mm flat bar. ground the spacers off the bottom of the kangoo rails in order to sit them a bit lower, going to do the passenger side too as that...

In all seriousness, I engine converted my mk2 clio 1.2 16v back in 2008/9. if I had it all to do again I’d just buy the sport, as soon as you’ve bought it you’ll forget about your first car.

1.2 16v

Honestly just about melted the nut off the drivers side taking the heat to it! Even the lowers where horrible and we had had those off for the springs a month or so ago. Ended up firing copper grease on the remaining threads to help them slip off, I think I will need to replace the top nuts as...

You are fully to blame here on out for any further modifications to mine 😂 looks the absolute dogs b****cks at that height!

Fitted a new battery and alternator on Friday after my alternator gave up the ghost. such a tight squeeze to get the old one out was cursing it so didn’t take any pictures. At about 2am last night after putting an engine back into my mates cooper S, we decided to fit the rear Gaz shocks and...

Cracked on this evening and done the majority of the shitey bits of carpeting I was putting off. Pictures are terrible as it was dark by the time I’d finished. I’m sure there will be plenty more to come as it comes together. Next up is doing the floor and making a fold down bed. Need to grab a...

Mk3 non sport clio, top mounts line up and the shock is marginally shorter than stock. So going to have to have the lower where it meets the knuckle adapted. I will post up in depth about it if it all comes together. Spare Hub/knuckle came in the post today so I will get to mocking something up...

Been trying to do a million and 1 little jobs done on the kangoo and I seem to get one thing done and another one pops up while I’m doing it! The fun of motoring. changed the fluids on it that solved the really notchy gear change. Although in having it on the ramp noticed a pretty horrendous...
