Updates. Fitted a pair of carbon rear arch protectors from Mega Carbon. They kindly done a set as a one off for me as they aren't producing parts at the moment. Quality is mega and a very good fit. Bonded on. Also give it a wash with the rest as the birds had pebbledashed it and the front...

Updates. Wash day for both Dci's. Orange was pretty clean but blue van was in a state so well overdue. Washy. Blue van also had interior clean as well. Also treated the blue dci to a set of new Alpine speakers for the front to replace the crackly 187k originals. Simple plug and play install...

I dont think i could find a cheaper car to run to be fair. Its been mega bangernomics.

Mick was using it daily from memory. No idea whats gone on with it since he sold it as was years ago.

Quick wash today for the Kangoo. Wheels were black with brake dust. Clean. Pissed down as soon as id finished :LOL: Thanks for reading!!

Should be able to get in touch with him on Facebook mate.

Updates. Fresh Nankang Ar-1 fitted to my spare set of cup steels. One of the wheels was marked spare on the inside possibly from its cup racer days. Neww tyre day is the best day. I was going to get them refurbed but i think the ratty look will suit the van and be more discreet than shiny...

Welcome mate. @Mickb Built your van ages ago. :LOL: my bank balance hates the vans

Update. Ordered Ferodo Ds1.11 from Oreca on Monday, arrived today. Quick for overseas, every time ive used them its 4-5days from order. Only place that list them for sale/in stock for gtt too. Feel a bit arse raped over the price + import tax but cant put a price on good brakes i guess.. Neww...

Id just run it if the caliper is not sticking, and no other issues i.e caliper hitting disc or duff wheel bearing causing disc to move. Get some pad material onto your discs and go from there.

Id give them a bleed and let them settle in. When you say right hand side i assume you mean o/s/drivers side. This caliper always works harder than the passenger for whatever reason, i always see more brake dust on the o/s front on both of my diesel clio's with calipers working as intended.

Oldskool method, little chamfer on the edge of the pad to stop squeal. I do this to cheap stock pads on the povo spec clios.

If the brake pedal is decent then assume its bled up right, always bleed outer nipple first then inner. Sometimes the 4 pots take a few goes but the pedal is crap. Bed the pads in properly and go from there. My trophy wilwoods were doing all sorts of crazy s**t when i fitted new ds1.11 and...

I believe for the points system to work the monocoque needs to be unmodified. This is off the .gov page. Local lad near me has an Astra J estate turned into a 2 door van. It looks mega and something happened a year or 2 ago resulting it getting pulled in for a check and they put it on a Q...

What brand is the extender? Tempted to get one for my meg.

Following, sounds like a great project. With the modifications required to the monocoque shell for 4wd, itll defo fall under iva territory if your wanting it 100% legal.

If there is no leaks from the sump dont touch it

Normal, the gasket is rubber and does not fully compress when fitted

Great result, graph looks mega. Can imagine it goes well on the road

No complaints here either. Step up from ps4 in terms of grip, the slightly stiffer sidewalls on ps5 aid turn in. Mine also gripped very well with low tread. Changed back to my summer wheels with a fresh set of ps5 on and the difference was marginal.

Ive not used solid top mounts on a clio, but use them on other cars. As @Ph1 Tom said ive found them to be more than acceptable for road use and hardly any nvh increase, worth fitting if you want the handling to be on point.

Updates. Kangoo not moved for a couple of weeks, had a few bits to pick up today so took it for a run out. Anti Social parking as usual. Work van nothing to see here. Perfect vehicle for the task. At max load capacity. In other news my billet throttle adaptor should arrive this week...

Ill defo consider them if no ds1.11 available. Price is around the same.

Spot on, are the winmax decent? I see the meg lads rate them.

Weekend update Dying again with man flu or whatever so motivation was pretty low, anyway pulled my finger out and got it back together yesterday. Bumper and grill back on, repairs to grill mounting points that have been broken since 2008 with plastic welder and epoxy rapid, no pics as working...

Probably wont hurt but never bothered personally, i leave them with minimum amount of fuel in and not had any issues over the years. My extra van has been sat since Anglesey last year and it fired right up on last years fuel no issues. I did crack the ign on a couple of times over the year to...

I had trw road pads in my old kangoo 172, rated them. Done a couple of trackdays on them pretty good considering.

Ive cracked open my febi coolant today and looks identical to type d.

Get a bit of dust but it doesnt ruin your wheels. I run them with white alloys and they clean up easy with bh autowheel.

Ferodo Ds1.11, work great from cold and no fade when hot, last ages.
