Personally I’d get purple over black. They still have a little bit of give and feel more robust and less brittle. The blacks are stiffer but also feel like they will fail in time. I’d recommend Whiteline for the rear beam and PF purple for everywhere else. Having said that, I think the lower...

Managed to give the old nail a mid winter “wheels off” clean today. Mainly I wanted to give the underside a wash and dampers a good look over. They have been on the car for 10k miles now and I haven’t revisited them since fitting back in April. It’s no secret my car is my daily driver and gets...

Matt’s one.

Hasn’t this been sold now?

it was such a small leak as such a small rate, I dare say I wouldn’t ever find it. All I can do is continue to drive it and monitor it. I’ve replaced the hose clamps on the expansion tank too just for good measure. Who knows if the issue will still even be present?

Okay so ive taken a look to investigate the non functioning stepper motor for the HVAC temp. I’ve checked the wiring to both the stepper motor plugs and to the HVAC control unit for damage. I can’t find anything. I know the suspect stepper motor is functioning correctly as when I connect it to...

Interesting you say that as that scenario had crossed my mind and indeed I checked the temp sensor. I went through it as far as I could without stripping the dash back to start checking individual wiring etc. Then the most annoying thing of all happened. It randomly started working again and...

Okay so I’ve checked the wiring to both the stepper motor plugs and to the HVAC control unit for damage. I can’t find anything. I know the suspect stepper motor is functioning correctly as when I connect it to the air diversion plug it operates in both directions. However when I connect it to...

So, the Christmas works in lovely Tier 4 Essex. First up was just a straight forward oil service, no issues and the oil removed was still pretty clean. Secondly was a job I had been putting off, investigating a very very slight coolant leak (approx 1cm drop in the expansion tank in approx 3...

Obviously I could have made a mistake but I’m 99.9% certain all earths were replaced when the crash bar went back in. I can confirm both the star drive and stepper motor function fine. It’s either a signal or power not being received. Thank you so much for the schematic. 👌🏼

I don’t believe this to be the case but it’s a good place to start, I’ll check in the morning.

Yeah that’s all fixed. It’s the stepper motor not receiving signal or power. If I plug the stepper motor into the HVAC air flow plug, it works. But plugged into the temp control plug, it doesn’t.

I’ve just had my dash out for a suspected heater matrix issue. All was working perfectly before. Since refitting I dont appear to have function of the hot/cold stepper motor. The motor works fine as I’ve tested it, I either have no power or no signal to it and I need to trace it.

Did you ever get a diagram for this mate? I have a fault I need to trace.

Trying to say our cars look s**t now? Yeah and... 😂😂😂

If I could get a better set made up that fit even better I’d be delighted. These were off the peg for the 197/200. As I know the fogs on those were a carry over part from the mk2 Clio, I decided to take a punt. Room for improvement, yes, but certainly some of the better looking variants I’ve...

Same gap as what’s there on a foglight. They measure the same. Just not as obvious with the lamps in.

You mean the actual OEM surround? 😂 That’s Renault for you mate, call Dieppe and ask them. 😅

Which bit?

I’m using a 3D printed replica of the OEM flog lights that have a straight profile so the airflow is direct to the wheel arch. These were done by TrackSpec, I have had to cover the offside one in kevlar sheet to stop it melting from radiated heat when the vehicle is parked up. I’d like to get a...

Nice to see you here dude, hope you’re keeping well. Looking forward to watching this one develop. 🙂👍🏼

Ah I didn’t know you’d built the box Mark. I only suggested the selector rings as I had the same issue with my freshly rebuilt box, except mine was on 5th gear.

Ebay comes up occasionally but the “RENAULT” text is NLA. Instead you have a revised item of which you have to trim the pins from the rear. The underscore is a slightly different profile too. The “SPORT” is still available from Renault too.

Dog teeth on selector rings worn? I imagine it’s feeling more pronounced with the PMS as there is less slack in the linkage.

Proper dampers. Subscribed. :D

Saving the best but till last. Little Drew is a lucky young man, congrats to you both. X 👌🏼

You've had more exhausts than me and @Ash J together now dude. Ha! Cars looking well :)

You’re going to get the private video by PM next time. Illuminated leopard skin speedos incoming. 🤣

No f**king pleasing some people is there. Merry f**king Christmas. 😂😂
