Day 2 - Spa Woke up to a fresh day and fog! Continental breakfast and away we go Fresh 5 min drive to the circuit and sign on and get set up in the garage unloading all of the gear before sighting laps Renault F1 team M2 imposter. As the weather was cold and 1deg or so ambient temps...

This one? Looked mega. Fell right lucky with the weather, cold but dry.

The ps5 last ages. They actually performed pretty well at Spa for a few laps on my meg, was quite impressed

Air in the diesel pipes is pretty normal from experience. I had same conk out and mine was high leakoff on 1x injector. The high leakoff also caused lots of air in the system. Do a leakoff test.

Updates. Euro trip done! On the run up to Spa, i had packed the car with gear in prep and had planned an easy week at work. As expected work was supersonic until the end and it was a case of chuck the remaining stuff in the car and go! Essentials Cleaned and fuelled up. Steady drive down...

Yep easy to reconfig the airbag ecu to suit oem seats with clip.

Binned all my dvds a while back as i dont have a dvd player anymore. Kept the cd collection though as i have a badass old skool technics separate amp and cd player in the garage. Sound quality of cd is loads better than via bluetooth streaming on the aux off soundcloud etc, no shitty adverts too

Looks clean. Most non sport are hanging these days!

Diesel filter might be fucked if not changed for donkeys. Prime it up with hand primer if it has one and see if itll fire. Id imagine its reporting low fuel pressure on diagnostics, check fuel pressure when cranking, need 250bar so the injectors open. Bit of sniff to fire it up and leakoff test...

Airleak or injector. Has it recently had a diesel filter change?

Im using eero 6+ and seem to be ok up to now, no issues and speed levels always good. Doesnt make virgin media any better though!

Great job on the paint.

Small update Weather is looking great for Spa so ive rammed the track wheels in. Just enough room to comfortably get them in with the cage and rear bar. Loaded up. Just lids and bag to chuck in and good to go. Roll on Friday. Thanks for reading!!

Updates. Winter coming and ive sorned it until next spring. Took the ds1.11 pads out and refitted stock pads to save the good ones falling apart. Discs coated in xcp rust block to stop them rusting like fcuk. Winter prep. Give the Ast's and the suspension a once over and all good. The...

Updates. Blue dci not missed a beat since injector replacement. Seems to go better too. Replaced the knackered top engine mount on the orange dci through the week. Nice easy 20 min job. Before After Seems like a little bit more vibration on idle but not driven it yet. Its a cheap mount so...

Prob just coincidence. Might be the seats out of #54, last seen in a v6 years ago :LOL:

Look like megane bases to me. R26 recaros are identical apart from the bases.

Febi bilstein if you want oem style. Autodoc prob best bet.

Replica plaques are available for the seat runners on ebay if you need some.

Updates Sheffield and back in the orange clio this morning. All going well until i went over a small pothole causing a loud bang. Open the bonnet to have a look and the top oil filled engine mount has s**t itself. Boom and the oil pisses out. Had this happen on the blue dci when i first got...

Updates. Changed the rear o/s brake pipe today. It was rusty where it clips to the beam and on the end where a previous butcher had fitted a new caliper. This was playing on my mind a little as your never sure how solid the pipe is when rust is showing and wanted it gone. I believe the pipe is...

Updates. Orange clio been flying and have done 550 miles in it this week. 73mpg. Dci life Bit of diag on the blue clio today. Started off with a leakoff test. One of the leakoff pipes was on super tight and came off suddenly which made my arm snap the top of the dipstick off :cautious...

Paint best mate, they will prob rust again with just oil as protection. Coat of zinc galv or whatever.

Absolutely fine removing the 4 bolts holding the mount to the inner wing without supporting the engine. Engine wont move anywhere aslong as its not driven.

Take them out and stick them in a tub of citric acid mixed with water. Will be clean of rust in a day or so, paint and refit.

What model is it ph2 172? For the temp gauge id check the wire for continuety back to the ecu and go from there. Sounds like its got some wiring gremlins going on Immob light on ph2 is one wire from clocks to uch..id be looking around the uch plugs.

Updates. Blue 225 mot had expired and its not moved this year. Its been shuffled in and out the garage a couple of times thats about it. Booked it in for mot so got it out over the weekend for a clean and a quick run round the block. Its been on trickle charge so battery is good, checked...

Update. Blue van failed to proceed today. It had not been used since last thursday and shuffled up and down the drive a couple of times. I was out today and the mrs went to use it, started as usual then stalled 5 seconds later and would not restart. Instantly thought it was that air leak...

Updates. Daily use this week and its been great fun. Too easy to drive fast and everybody wants to race a yellow car for whatever reason. Drinks fuel when not driven sensibly. Love it! Daily. Took it down to my mates garage to get the geo set today. Was not far out but reset the wheel...
