Wasn't going to bother with a thread on this, however it’s a slow Sunday and I thought why not.
I’ve not taken many pictures of my own as of yet, as any time I’ve worked on it its ended up dark.
Fancied a daily diesel and sold my Laguna so the search for a wee van was on. After seeing a few...
Thanks I walked away as the rest of it wasn’t as described off to see another one tomorrow, bit higher on the miles but seems like it’s been well maintained at least!
Im off to look at a Mk2 2008 Renault Kangoo that needs a bit of work, im not too clued up on the diesels its an 85hp model if that makes a blind bit of difference.
Owner states it has a start up issue where it will Rev to 3k and clear once its warmed up.
Before I go and plug it into a code...
I had this for a couple years, really didn’t gel with it, after a year I really couldn’t wait to hand it back. Replaced it with this, it’s much cheaper younger brother.. absolutely loved it in comparison really didn’t want to hand it back…
Thanks mate, I think it’s here to stay, is yours the 275 that sits in the west end close by the Sainsbury’s petrol station?
Always welcome for a nosey. I’d love a go in a Megane as it’s the only thing I’d contemplate replacing the clio with, or maybe just daily one!
Cheers guys, to update the thread I’ve since added a PMS centre silencer, binned off the 2118s and went back to turinis with a road tyre on them. I’m still on the hunt for a nice pair of standard 172 seats to aid comfort.
It’s bliss on the motorway now with the silencer. Much less road noise...
After moaning on here about a the car being a bit too harsh for me on the longer drives we set about making it a bit more liveable.
I had been following @frayz progress with sound deadening, but as a cheaper heavier way ive just lobbed the rear bench back in the car for the time being and it...

Some maintenance done to the car, Had brake lines on the rear replaced as they where looking rather crusty.
2 new handbrake cables and a new shock as one had blown on the rear.

Brake Fluid changed from oem renault to Typ200.
Also Had New ARB bushes...
Mine was very out of wack previously due to having the engine and subframe off and a rack change. Understandably it drives like a totally new car. Mine is mostly on the road too and drives superbly!
That would be ideal, I’d love a couple of clips of it!
Yeah I always make a plan of where I’m going to stop take pictures, head for lunch and dinner, keep fed and hydrated while driving too. It’s usually a lot of stop start stuff.
I’m blessed with living in Scotland so it’s usually a mix of around 100 motorway miles or a tad less then the rest will be B roads. It’s not always 2-300 can be a tad less however that’s usually where I see myself being more fatigued.
Yeah certainly I could use the daily more however then comes...
Realistically health wise its not going to get any better in all honesty. I’d love it to get better, but as much as I try I’m physically exhausted most of the time. So have been just trying to enjoy the clio when I can. You’re Bob on I’ve modified it in such a way that I wanted it, I don’t have...
They are probably similar if not the same to Mk3 clio/megane seats just with all the electrical gubbins added in.
Having had a think, going forward I will try some standard seats. Sell my 2118s and go back on to my turinis as I loved how it looked on the 16s they just need a refurb.
Coupled...
My daily Lagunas full electric heated seats are thrones sent from God, the only thing I’ve sat in that have been more comfortable have been an old v70 and a Williams 1.
That was my best guess with the headrest area being so far away from the head 😂
That is the only area I find them rubbish, I find the lower back and lumbar support on these ok as far as seats go. My spine is held together with screws and rods and my neck is pretty uncomfortable regardless of...
If someone sticks a grand in my hand for the seats they are gone :ROFLMAO:
No worries! thanks for the input, I'm on the hunt for someone local to me with a meg 250. Im hoping that will help me make a clear choice.
Yes its Decatted, definitely food for thought. my friend has a range of seats I...

Ive looked at these but with mine being ordered without the harness holes id have to come up with some sort of ingenious fixing method.
I have thought about a standard seat, however I think just down to being a total snob I love the look of the recaros in it id want something similar or more comfortable. I do have a standard rear bench I could put back in to cut down the cabin noise though that is always an option if I could...
Please excuse the clickbaity thread title.
I love my little clio, however over the past few years with my health not being great its becoming ever increasingly more uncomfortable to drive. Ive loved modifying changing and driving the car however over the last few months it's becoming more...
I loved mine when it was close to standard also, It has now become over time fairly well modified from the parts catalog at Pure motorsport and other parts at the recommendation of other users on here. Most of the parts that have been changed are due to the standard parts failing due to age or...
