Old school there with the FinishKare. Always remember their stuff being decent. Still got a tin of the 1000p hi-temp wax, always nice to use on wheels.

The U.S.Pro/Bergen stuff is alright to be fair as well.

The few Jap cars i've touched have all been like that. Seems they know what they're doing when building cars.

I've not worked on one either haha, just know about them. Done a few bits on a mates C63 AMG.

Aye, like the E92 M3 with two drain plugs.

Yeah i remember doing an M9R and thinking where the f**k is all this oil going 😂

Will nearly fill that won't it 😅 Why do diesels have such large oil capacity :unsure:

If it won't turn over once you bolt it back on, give it smack with a hammer and a long extension bar. Had to do that on my brother's cmax when we did the clutch and flywheel. Worked perfectly before we took the box off, then just a clicking noise when it was all back together. A quick tap...

It was a while ago when I ordered mine. At the time the Valeo ones were on eBay from Mister Auto, but I can't find them now mate 😏 They are on Autodoc for £72 though... https://www.autodoc.co.uk/valeo/1097215

Just got a cheap Nissens rad. I've since found that you can get genuine Valeo ones for the same money 😏

They are smart those link lines.

@Louis can do starter motors from the top. Get him round.

Replaced the 16 year old radiator as it had a small leak and also the AC condenser. State of them...

There are no o rings inside. The two grooves are reliefs for grease to sit in.

I'd say it'll be fine. It's still a GL-4 spec oil.

Recommended for all Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi vehicles equipped with manual transmissions including Sx, Jxx, TLx, NDx, NDk1, Pxx, DBx family gearboxes. Note: This product replaces Tranself NFP 75W-80 and Tranself NFJ 75W-80 and covers their targeted applications.

No, just replace the battery within a reasonable time. On some cars it can lose the coding, but that'll be like 10-15 minutes.

Heard the name, but can't think where.

What box is it in the Megane 175? Is it a PK4? Most PK4's are around 55kg.

Ideally need medium/hard on the front and soft on the rear of a Clio. They take an age to warm up as well as @JB21 says. This time of year probably 2-3 laps at pace on top of a couple of laps to even warm them up so you don't cold grain them.

Check the earth wires behind the carpet/plastic trim as well. The black rubber grommets either side of the tail lights can leak water and it runs down inside right onto the earth points 🤦‍♂️

Ahh no, they only do the RC6.

Have you tried Carbone Lorraine RC8? A mate used them on his Megane with slicks and was able to lock the fronts, only just though. Just so much grip on big slicks when hot.

You might notice a bit more pad wear running slicks, because you are able to use all of the pad's ability. Therefore more heat will be generated, so you need your cooling on point.

A working temperature of 40°c versus 70+ would indicate you were right.

If that's same day testing, then that's good.

Really? I can't see how a non road legal race tyre (A050) is slower than the A052. They even used the A050 in World Time Attack as the mandatory tyre.

It might seem expensive, but it doesn't take a lot to do a tyre.

You need to try the DZ03G yeah.

Carbon Collective - Sateen Dries nice and quick on tyres, no sling. Gyeon Tire is alright as well, but don't put too much on otherwise it slings, but not as bad as Megs Endurance.
