For £96 delivered, brand new, this doesn't look too bad haha

You are f**king mental. Love it.

Love the van, keep your eyes on the scrappy for the rear floor and bulkhead they finish it off nicely! I've got the full length parcel shelf too which makes it a lot quieter to drive, although doubt it will be quite as refined now with 180hp lol

As bright says, years ago I had one that wouldn't start, was giving errors of glow plug relay, I changed the relay, changed the plugs, changed the wiring, no better and it was an injector. It had took me down the wrong path!

Do a leak off test, remove the return from all injectors and collect them into 4 cups, usually if one is faulty it will be apparent by the different amount of fuel in that cup

I've ordered this bad boy to get the van thru an mot and on the road 😂 Due tomorrow

They are getting a fresh refurb in silver soon!

Unfortunately it's all to common on these engines for garages to start throwing parts at them if they lack the experience in fault finding on them. I had a look at one a few months back, leakoff test showed one injector was pumped and another on its way out, drained the fuel filter, metal swarf...

So there is a connection higher up above the pinch bolt then? Could it be out?!

Just a bump for this, ive been pulling my hair out! so left the DCI rack in place, its not been removed. Fitted brand new genuine Renault inner track rods and rod ends both from a 182. if I centre the rack, the steering wheel is way out from centred, if I centre it either clockwise or anti...

Whos the blondie

£1000 Scottish pounds after lockdown 😍

Love that!

More progress today! The rear bumper has always had a crack and missing arch liner etc since I had it So I set about swapping it with the doner car I bought for its bumpers Removed the bumper from the 2004 and the brackets behind it were rotten!... Dreaded to think what I'd find behind my...

No abs warning lights on?

As above there is a flexible bit and s clamp but I didn't touch it and removed the filler as it's only a 30 sec job and s good time to clean behind it etc

4 bolts, 1x at each side and 2x in the middle. Just lower the tank on a jack. Just finished doing mine

Do you mean the dials are loosing power and going blank, all gauges not working or is it just your Speedo not reading a speed?

Gave the van a wash, just waiting on an exhaust arriving and its ready for an MOT! Hoping emissions shouldn't be an issue since diesels just get a smoke test...… 👹

No replacement for displacement

one of the 182s I bought came with a chavtastic powerflow, it used to make my ears bleed! I replaced it with a ktec centreline, what a joy to drive after that! I fitted a ktec silenced decat with it too

PMS air con and HPAS delete kit arrived today so got that fired on. Really nice, well made piece of kit, doddle to fit!

I've owned both various times. I wouldn't bother going to a MK2 172/182/trophy. I found the 133 more fun when you were on it, and the 2.0 a nicer car to drive every day, but they are still uncompromised and not very nice to live with so a bit pointless lol. A 197/200 is a different drive, revs...

Mapped by ecoboom you say....

Mine whined when first started from when the motor was new

Subframe should be identical, just drill the hole for the 4th mount. My van runs it's DCI subframe with the full 182 wide track

Engine bay fuse box would be my first port of call, pull the relays out, clean up with a bit of sandpaper and re insert. Also make sure battery terminals are secure

172 cup is the MK2 to own for me! I liked mine the best followed by my ph1 172 then my Trophy

One of my best mates was going to buy it and put a meg engine in it but he's a shite bag
