Been a while since I've been able to do anything car related. Its been driving me mad, but today I thought I'd give myself something simple to do and try out my new smoke tester.

Absolutely awesome bit of kit, all self contained and doesn't...
I didn't say a bent one, but a failing joint may vibrate intermittently. Does the vibration come from one side? I'm sure @Danith had a driveshaft issue at some point he may be able to help
It has active charging and drops off when not needed. Voltage doesnt necessarily prove the battery is good either. Still worth getting a proper check on it.
I always tap the socket on there a few times and lean on them now. Never used uprated items so cant answer the second question. I'm old school so would pop to a fasteners shop and ask for something of the same size/strength if I was in need. I'm sure you could get some arp bolts though...
First port of call on these is to replace the battery if its over a few years old, with a decent AGM item.
Issues you have listed could be a multitude of things. Id get the codes cleared and the shift drum and clutch actuation reset and see what comes back
I had shift issues and tried lots of...
I'm currently recovering from a large parastomal hernia repair, it hasn't gone as well as it should but I'm still on the mend, just slower than expected. On the run up to having the op I decided it would be a good time to get some repair work done to the 8. Now underneath it isn't the worst but...
Whilst I was over in Runcorn I did a quick shoot across the bridge and back to grab a drive belt for my buddy in the pug 308gti. Guess who totally forgot to pay the charges... twice 🤦🏻♂️
😁 it was dialed in to give the same torque for now. It just has a fair chunk more of it. Im going to go away and see if I can find info what sort of figures the stock rods can take. Cross ref part numbers and such against the megane maybe.
Hopefully it'll give me/us some confidence in pushing...
Newer TCU. Fitted one from a 2018 trophy, which as it was, then restricting my power. That led me to doing some other upgrades at the same time (turbo and hpfp)
Possibly, that said there were 2 or 3 turbos listed on Ebay alone when I looked a while back. May even find that its the same setup on a talisman or espace in Europe. I know the hpfp is shared.
It is crazy, chris was staying how the modern stuff loves to boost too. Back in the day, whacking 20psi through some they would grenade themselves. This borg warner is so say happy running 26/28psi if i wanted it
What a long weekend, drive up to Anglesey for CSF then across to EFI parts for a few hours then back. Well that was the plan...
Anyway this is how it went. Got there and had a little chin wag over what had been done and what I wanted to look at. Chris seemed to like the idea :D and he always...
drive up with the clique was great, and the few hours I was there in the morning were good too (y)
Big thanks to everyone involved for getting this on and done year after year (y)
