It was another £38 for import tax and delivery, still worked out cheaper than the other sellers selling at over £200. Also arrived in 2 days!

Not much to report, service parts have come in. I’ve fired the new fuel filter in and it’s helped slightly with the starting issue but not cured it. Trying to get a genuine fuel primer and line but getting in contact with RPD hasn’t been easy for a price. Have also put my plate on: H&R...

Jump in the back of the van and al show ya 😉

I bought a full set on eBay, that seemed the cheapest place to get them. I think they where £150 but I think they still have import tax to be billed at customs. From reading brigsys thread modus springs off the top of my head are 25mm shorter, but you need the shorter shocks of they will fall out.

Thanks for the heads up will keep an eye out, these are a far departure from what I’m used to so I’m learning with everything I read! This is about to tick over 160k so I’m about to throw a lot of parts at it for peace of mind. As per what @Brigsy is running on his kangoo racevan, it’s kangoo...

I’ve been referred to as everything from dingbro to 3 people saying “where’s your black and white cat.”

On the motorway with a tailwind

Wasn't going to bother with a thread on this, however it’s a slow Sunday and I thought why not. I’ve not taken many pictures of my own as of yet, as any time I’ve worked on it its ended up dark. Fancied a daily diesel and sold my Laguna so the search for a wee van was on. After seeing a few...

Thanks I walked away as the rest of it wasn’t as described off to see another one tomorrow, bit higher on the miles but seems like it’s been well maintained at least!

Im off to look at a Mk2 2008 Renault Kangoo that needs a bit of work, im not too clued up on the diesels its an 85hp model if that makes a blind bit of difference. Owner states it has a start up issue where it will Rev to 3k and clear once its warmed up. Before I go and plug it into a code...

My cars never seem to get insanely dirty like you lot! This won’t get washed until way into next year now.

I had this for a couple years, really didn’t gel with it, after a year I really couldn’t wait to hand it back. Replaced it with this, it’s much cheaper younger brother.. absolutely loved it in comparison really didn’t want to hand it back…

@stevo172-RWD any updates on this, was thinking about it this morning?

I’ve got a nilfisk E140.3, not sure what the equivalent is now but I’ve had a couple of nilfisk now and never had an issue with them.

Thanks mate, I think it’s here to stay, is yours the 275 that sits in the west end close by the Sainsbury’s petrol station? Always welcome for a nosey. I’d love a go in a Megane as it’s the only thing I’d contemplate replacing the clio with, or maybe just daily one!

Cheers guys, to update the thread I’ve since added a PMS centre silencer, binned off the 2118s and went back to turinis with a road tyre on them. I’m still on the hunt for a nice pair of standard 172 seats to aid comfort. It’s bliss on the motorway now with the silencer. Much less road noise...

About a month ago was the last time 😜

After moaning on here about a the car being a bit too harsh for me on the longer drives we set about making it a bit more liveable. I had been following @frayz progress with sound deadening, but as a cheaper heavier way ive just lobbed the rear bench back in the car for the time being and it...

Some maintenance done to the car, Had brake lines on the rear replaced as they where looking rather crusty. 2 new handbrake cables and a new shock as one had blown on the rear. Untitled by blair mccaffery, on Flickr Brake Fluid changed from oem renault to Typ200. Also Had New ARB bushes...

I should also add that mine is on cup shocks, cooksport springs and pms solid top mounts. So similar minus the camber bolts.

Mine was very out of wack previously due to having the engine and subframe off and a rack change. Understandably it drives like a totally new car. Mine is mostly on the road too and drives superbly!

Thanks mate! I won’t be down as far as that, I’m staying close to Leeds Bradford airport. That’s as far down as I’m going.

That would be ideal, I’d love a couple of clips of it! Yeah I always make a plan of where I’m going to stop take pictures, head for lunch and dinner, keep fed and hydrated while driving too. It’s usually a lot of stop start stuff.

I’m blessed with living in Scotland so it’s usually a mix of around 100 motorway miles or a tad less then the rest will be B roads. It’s not always 2-300 can be a tad less however that’s usually where I see myself being more fatigued. Yeah certainly I could use the daily more however then comes...

Realistically health wise its not going to get any better in all honesty. I’d love it to get better, but as much as I try I’m physically exhausted most of the time. So have been just trying to enjoy the clio when I can. You’re Bob on I’ve modified it in such a way that I wanted it, I don’t have...

They are probably similar if not the same to Mk3 clio/megane seats just with all the electrical gubbins added in. Having had a think, going forward I will try some standard seats. Sell my 2118s and go back on to my turinis as I loved how it looked on the 16s they just need a refurb. Coupled...

My daily Lagunas full electric heated seats are thrones sent from God, the only thing I’ve sat in that have been more comfortable have been an old v70 and a Williams 1.
