it really is, cant ever take a decent pic of it on my phone though lol. ooo thats a good idea that actually (y)

Finished it off today, coated with some wax and from now on ill stick to cleaning it myself. Doesnt look that different from a distance but up close its loads better. That said I now see more imperfections. Could do with a new bonnet in the future and a front spray/refresh. Looks ok for a daily...

I have really neglected the body work and cleaning side of this car for way too long. I have spent the last 6+ months driving it through the local spiny scrub and blow dry and its really starting to show.... So today I have made a start on correcting it a little, ideally it needs a pro but itll...

Parts still aren't here from autodoc.... annoying as I wanted to get it all fitted up this bank holiday weekend. Anyway bit of a check over on the turbo which is still fine, has no excessive play. I whipped off the filter and gave it a clean. The ducting pipe and filter are pretty dirty so that...

yep as above, I've completely removed mine from the scuttle area too, cant say I noticed much difference in noise.

great update, the car has defo been saved by coming to you

What made you switch from omex to adaptronic?

no the injectors arent coded in. if one was full of crap the rest may be too. lambda sensors failing can also cause crap idle and running. did you get the codes read before firing the parts cannon at it?

I've been told to give it a week or two to bed in. I drove it yesterday and its pretty savage at fast idle and when pulling away. Feels lovely when on the move though and even though I didn't notice much slop, the front end feels more connected. I may end up going to Powerflex to see if I can...

Had some spare time so fired on the Powerflex mount. Not actually driven it yet to see what its like but there's is an increase in vibration just at idle, it was expected but we will see how it is once I take the car for a run. Captured a bit on camera so slapped together a quick vid. (y)

Still not gotten around to fitting the powerflex dogbone mount, I also need to get in and do the aux belt and tensioner. Anyone know if there is a special tool needed? Pretty sure the exhaust is blowing again so I need to order up a mls gasket rather than the ones I have to replace it. TBH Most...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

looking good, interested to see what you think after some anger as to if the upgrade is worth it.

Got a hoist ready to go if needed. Thing is I have another retro Renault project on the go currently in my single driveway space That said, the issue is intermittent and tbh unless I told anyone what to look for you would probably never notice the issue when driving

glad im not the only one thinking it...

refurbished clutch, not the box..... yeah ive had a look at whats involved, wouldnt be too hard really. if i had a ramp itd be done by now.

So that's now changed...... 😡 The original quotation given by Ktec was £1500 inc vat (bearing in mind a new clutch supplied and fitted elsewhere was around 2k, with it being a refurb instead of new it seemed about right price wise) that was complete removal of the gearbox, including...

Not got any videos of it as of yet. I will at some point though. I had it mapped pretty linearly, so it drives a little more like a big N/A, hard to explain, pulls well though, gets stronger the further through the revs you get.

I've been quoted just over 1500. That said I've still not heard back from them so fired an email over at the weekend.

Not too much to update here. I've swapped out the 20mm front spacers for 16mm eibach items. Makes the front track match the rear a bit better rather than having the wheels pushed out so much. Also it feels slightly lighter and nimble, could be in my head though. I've also received a powerflex...

there are 2 different 4x4 systems, the scenic rx4 and the kangoo 4x4. Plenty of videos of them on the internet being used on green lanes and stuff.

On renewal last year mine went from 300ish to 1400! on a standard car. Got a modified policy through Brentacre for around 450, though I had to modify it to keep the policy open.....

looking good. my cheapo rubber splitter is still on and hasn't budged (touches wood) @Danith I had no rubbing issues with the cooksports on stock cup shocks (well until I fitted spacers..... Plus i run 225 wide tyres)

solid work, remember when it was just going to get a little tidy up..... :p it feels good to tinker

Td04? Or tf035? As long as you have bigger injectors and a map it should be fine

Depends on the size of your turbo. But 7 to 10psi is considered safe (when mapped to suit) on a 172 engine with a t25. Most engines are old worn and knackered, something will break.

Could well be both. All I will say is mine is worse somedays than others. If its a warm day it seems to be less prominent.

I run most things past Tuur, he was the one that told me the issue after I ran through the issues and problem solving I'd tried already. Top bloke 👍🏼

could well be a bit of contamination on that friction plate, or just a little worn out with age. does it do it more/worse on cold days, when the car may be a little more fruity/powerful? I can check the thickness of my clutch plates using Renolink, could possibly do similar on yours to confirm...

does it only do it in 3rd and/or 5th?
