Mega busy day today so brief update. Started early, fitted bilet cam and vernier pulley/timing chain to Extra van engine
Next job was to change turbo on my gtt as leaking oil, absolute ballache as all oem brackets still fitted. Got new turbo on and tried to prime oil system and the fecking oil...
The flamer van looks awesome @MattRS182 id love to do a sport van but need the dci mpg.
Had a little chav chuck a bottle at the blue dci lastnight so its sporting a small dent in the drivers rear qtr now. By the time id seen the cctv he was long gone and he best count it as his lucky day i...
Definitely, cant wait to see what they are like. The pbs pads look quite glazed when removed after quite a bit of road driving, but can prob revive them with some 80grit. Im not expecting these m1177s to be great from cold, it will be a case of boshing stock pads or the pbs back in after Croft...
Cheers mate (y) the dcis just keep plodding on they are great little cars for the dollar. Dci 100 would be great, i was looking for one myself, better gearbox and better mpg.
Give the Blue dci a basic service today. The oil looked like it had not been changed for a long time, filter had rust...
Days leave off work today so had a couple of hours on the Kangoo. Took it for a run out and its running great on the new injectors, no hesitation, no misfires or nothing.
Mintex m1177 fitted up front, see how they perform. Need to take it out and bed the pads in but bob hope of that today or...
Needs Renault clip on to find out what codes are stored, generic obd scanner wont pick up much.
Blue smoke under load will be either knackered turbo or rings, or knackered injectors. Id comp test/leakdown testif you have access to one to suit a diesel, also take exhaust off at the turbo and see...
Make a note of current config (the pic will be fine) and go for it mate. It will only reset the options listed.
Change the bits as you want then save, make sure the battery does not go flat whilst doing it, wont take long at all so if battery is good you wont have any issues.
Give the orange dci a quick clean lastnight, first one since machine polish a few weeks ago. Was nice to go to work in a clean car today. Been using the BH Auto Foam and its epic, can see the muck running off when leaving it to dwell.
Well aye, will see if funds allow some paint in the future might get bumpers on it.
Cheers mate (y) i dont mind the colour at all. Egr was dry as a bone just pure soot, quite pleased as was expecting turbo to be well on its way. As soon as the oil is changed ill give it an italian tune up to...
Snagging list, goal is to spend as little as possible but do the essentials
Service first, bosh the cheapest oil in i can find and run it for a few miles, drop as current oil looks like its not been changed for a long time. New air filter, decent oil and filter, diesel filter, new pollen filter...
Got up today and nice dry weather so give it a once over as just abandoned it last night.
First thing was to pull egr and inlet pipe off, egr was indeed blocked up but blocked on the solenoid side wierdly ? A bit crusty around the penny but not too bad. Can see somebody has been there before...
Dci's multiplying now. Been sniffing around for one for a couple of weeks just to hammer for work. Criteria was air con and preferably not much rust and less than 200k mileage. After looking around found a couple of low'ish mileage dci 100's but the sellers were absolute cranks.
I dont mind...
The seal on the compressor housing has probably been worn for a while and oil spraying into the inlet on boost. It will probably have been smoking a little on boost which can go un noticed unless yor constantly looking in the rear view mirror, my clio dci was the same - smokey on throttle but...
I fancy doing a sport replica dci van with a/c, dont tell the mrs this one is supposed to stay stock for work haha. Will keep my eye out for a bulkhead, thinking nice rear seat delete carpet. The boot is choka with my gear for work at the moment in the current one, pop up ladders the lot. Cant...
Cheers mate (y)the 5gt turbo is mine too, going to recommission it very soon, as have been slacking and its not spun a wheel in 20 months.
Cheers mate? I certainly have been down Hartlepool a lot in the last 4 weeks in the new job, its been good to have a ride out. Was sat on the Headlands...
Croft prep on going for 27th May, been a bit slack as a bit on with just starting a new job.
First feck up, changed oil and filter for oem elf 5/40, knocked end of number 1 injector and it fell off
With 2 trackdays booked just bit the bullet and replaced all for new Magnetti Marelli for...
Had a small issue yesterday, booted it up a slip road and noticed power was down and sounded like a hairdryer under the bonnet..i was expecting the air temp sensor to have popped out but when looking the new boost hose has split at the joint. Cheap thin replica plastic shite ive asked for my...
