Awesome!!!! I've still never seen one on the road!

Wife's out doing me this year so far... my best effort....

it could cause a whole host of electrical problems so yes.

vibrating from the needles when you put the key in is either flat/low battery voltage or a poor earth, charge battery and put a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to a good solid piece of metal on the bodyshell (I usually use one of the brackets up on the pass side suspension turret) -...

Na subframes are identical apart from the hole for the 4th mount, 30 seconds with a drill and they are identical, just finished the swap using the standard subframe

shouldn't need to swap the subframe? just the rest.

The Difference between “Brought” and “Bought” Brought is the past tense and past participle of the verb to bring, which means “to carry someone or something to a place or person.” Bought is the past tense and past participle of the verb to buy, which means “to obtain something by paying money...

got it or brought it?

Done a bit more work today, had the odd bolt that had sheared etc during fitting so went to the scrappys for replacements and replaced everything with the proper bolt, also found I had missed the rear engine loom earth at the top of the gearbox so connected that and that's solved my immobiliser...

I found the MK4 wasn't as good either, we had a pair of dci90s the remapped one done 60mpg without much trying and the standard one slightly worse, I think the long gearing had you loading it up more than you should for economy! The 6 speed makes all the difference My DCi 110 kangoo is...

I found my mk3 dci 106 was about 10mpg off the mk2 dci 100 (that's worked out at the pump, not the trip) they do drive much nicer though. for mk2s id say 80 is the best of the bunch, getting hard to find though

It's not been changed yet, job for this weekend. Today I got the bumper, lights, slam panel back on, radiator back in, coolant system all plumbed in engines all wired in, got the battery on it and started testing bits, immobiliser light is staying solid so I'll need to check that out tomorrow...

its done alright for the last 8yrs tbh lol! top man, if you find one let me know how much and ill sort you out!

make sure both connectors are connected at the side of the glass where it comes out the boot

Quick question, Am I imagining things or should the 172/182 have a heat shield over the starter motor? Just tidying up the last few bits of my van conversion and can't remember!

CS old timers trip?! When Mick finishes a van? We can bring our hydrogen fuel cell cars or what ever we have then?

great write up, looked good, I need to get myself over there at some point over the next few years!

Awesome! Great project looking forward to seeing it done!

The bearings probably flat faced because it's been run so long without a spacer, surprized the bearing survived that long!

Will get one tomorrow from the 182 as the hole is now well and truly filled on the van lol

Hammered into it this afternoon for a few hours. Engine and gearbox in Engine all wired in Subframe drilled to fit the lower front engine mount 182 brakes, hubs, shafts, suspension all fitted Back on it's wheels to see how it sits Job for tomorrow is radiator and all coolant system in, bumper...

remember to drain the gearbox oil first lol

as above, insurance on my 182 converted van is cheaper than any of my 182s were!

the block looks the same to me apart from the oil feeds for the turbo coming out the block, Head looks the same too except it uses an aluminium rocker cover vs the plastic one on the normal D4F. Inlet manifold is of course different, plastic on the D4F but aluminium on the D4FT. I believe it did...

Easy job if you have a smashed tce to swap it over to, do it in a morning. You can't just buy the turbo and bolt it on though as your question seems to be asking about

I complained from new that an LSD would really compliment my 220 Trophy as I was suffering from the front end washing out mid corner, 10k miles on the clock the front SuperSports were shot so I replaced them with a pair of PS4 (reluctantly, I wanted to keep it on supersports) and they were night...

they never seem to come up in good condition 2nd hand. RenaultPartsDirect list them on their website but they are not cheap! most are secured with cable ties these days

Yeah no problem

I love iceberg silver, reminds me of my first car! ive got a pair of factory rear lights in good condition with all the bulbs and bulb holders etc, yours for £20 posted!

not all ph3 had them for some reason there must have been a cross over, my ph3 1.6 16v had a facelift front end, digital dials but a tunerlist cabasse from the factory.
