As above have the catch tank connected to breather plate and other port open to atmosphere for performance. It will still be pulling oil fumes in if connected into inlet.

Washer jet pump packed in on the blue dci. Well i say packed in, i used the rear wash/wipe and it squirted the rear window and then refused to do the front just rear regardless of selection. Ive had this issue before and usually sorts itself out flicking between front and rear a few...
Part of the motor is missing that the wiring plugs into, see pic below.
Its either been ripped off by accident or due to wiper going all the time due to faulty uch. Only one way to find out
Uch is the body computer. It basically runs everything.

Stereo out and a few screws to get the heater control panel out. Its...
Washer pump prob knackered.
Rear wiper motor poss disconnected due to staying on all the time due to uch issues. Uch easy fix via dieselpumpspecialist on ebay. If connected/us i would get uch repaired and next step change wiper motor if wiring checks out ok.
Bulbs popped in heater controls.

Orange clio is in for mot on Monday so give it a once over. All looked ok apart from front discs and pads. Still legal but had seen better days as been on since 2019/god knows how manu miles. Not expensive so stuck a set on, napa brand from local motorfactors.

Injector on its way maybe. Had similar on my old 172 kangoo just before one failed.
I would also get fuel pressure checked, if its original fuel pump it might be tired.
Done a good job on the box thats scrap 😆
No hpas lines makes subframe drop nice and easy. Need to do my trophy soon and itll be same engine and box drop to save wrestling the ndo box in situ.

Cheap engine mount on orange dci turned out to be horrendous for vibration so got a gates branded one. Fitted and business as usual.
Both had a well needed wash over xmas. Finished with a coat of BH touch on for a bit of easy winter protection.

Blue clio hasnt done many...
Quick update
R26 not really moved apart from a couple of local runs out due to leaking water pump/cambelt job due imminently.
I have all the parts ready to go, just waiting for my snap on torque wrench to come back from repair. Hopefully be back mid Jan so can crack on and get that sorted...
Map sensor vac readings on idle are usually off if cam timing is out. Im sure mine was around 400mbar on idle when correct.
Its hard to tell in the vids but doesnt look too bad. F4r is not really refined
Can probably redrill the twingo block to suit jb and use a custom clutch and poss custom shafts.
Basically a load of aggro, be better off selling the jb and buying a lsd for the jr5
Not worth messing on with in all honestly. The doorcards also rattle once you fix the cover rattling.
Underseat sub is a better upgrade with a good head unit.
All oem speakers are wired per channel and there is no crossover on the rears.
Stock head unit is also shite. A good aftermarket stereo vastly improves sound quality overall.
I actually think its the location/sound deadening at the rear. On my dci it was not specced with rear speakers so did...
Recaros look spot on. I have the recaro sportster cs fitted to my trophy with the larger lower bolsters and still very easy to get in and out of with the jon foz frames.
@hopmade some replica trophy leather seatbelt tensioner covers a while back, would finish it off the install nicely.
Picked up Mot. 1515 seem gauge off ebay for checking belt tension. £500+ new mine for £40 delivered.
Another tool to go in the cupboard of random s**t thats rarely used, but will no doubt come in handy at some point in the future
I know somebody who destroked an f4r to 1.8 using a f7p or volvo crank from memory.
Totally different setup as the engine was turbo but you could maybe look to see If that could work for you.
