    Bleeding brakes with 'loose' bleed screw

    You wont need to do anything with a pressure bleeder, pressure on, loosen then nip up. Air wont be able to seep in. A little bit of grease will be good to stop the nipple seizing in place.

    Kangoo 182 Project

    Looks great. Did the pms shifter go straight in? Thats the next mod planned for mine as my gearshifter/linkage is awful.

    300bhp + What drive shafts?

    Stock shafts should be ok. Gearbox will probably go bang first

    Suspension Change - Am I being completely stupid?? Please Help!

    Notmal, lever the track control arm down with a bar. Might be worth slackening wishbone to subframe bolts, get wheels on and drop on the floor/retorque the bolts.

    Timing Belt Help

    I had this issue when doing mine with genuine tools. The pulley lock cog kept moving slightly when torquing the pulleys up. You need the nut on the tool/cog mega tight, i recall doing it up to 140nm and did not have an issue after that.

    wheel refurb on old wheels?

    Sadly a few places will just powdercoat with any defects present, not bothered if they are receiving your dollar. I heard a tale where a set of astra vxr alloys were in the acid too long and went pourous not good

    wheel refurb on old wheels?

    Most powdercoaters usually acid strip and shotblast. That will give you an idea of whats what usually before they coat. Ive had loads of sets of wheels done without issues, some in horrendous condition before refurb, it sounds like you were unlucky to be fair. The only wheels i would probably...

    Rear suspension The rear shocks have been on the list for replacement for a while, due to them being original and circa 180k and quite soft. When i rebuilt the rear beam i noticed how similar they looked to to gtt/clio1 16v rear shocks. Bought a new pair of clio1 16v gaz rear adjustable...

    172ph2 hesitant when cold ?

    Mine was doing the same recently misfire from cold for a couple of miles. Everything checked out ok on live data - swapped downstream & post cat lambda and runs fine again better idle etc. Still have an occasional hesitation when pulling away i think an injector is on its way out.

    After a long winter and a fresh set of white wheels it highlighted the paint needed a bit of tlc on the Kangoo. First good day on a weekend so decided to crack on. The paint had gone very oxidised on the roof/sides as it had not been very well cared for in the past. The paint was also very...
