AA card. Recovery if it goes wrong bad.

Take it to an aircon specialist for diagnostics. Not expensive

Normal, run it until it slips

Bumpstops always fall to bits on these, as they are used as secondary damping when lowered. I destroyed a bumpstop riding the kerbs at Blyton. Id imagine the springs are progressively wound so will touch coils a bit.

Parked it up after Anglesey and done nothing until this week. Small list of bits to do. Reseal sump - c1j are a leaker anyway but this was getting to be horrendous. I have an undertray fitted and it was getting over the edge of that but hardly using any on the stick. Assume position. Found...

Never did update this one from last year. RRG gathering at Mallory. CSF Anglesey. Reliable. Turn key and drive.

Does it actually have one? Never see them in non sport To test, sit in the car and lock it with the button on the key, stay still until it sets and when you move the ultrasonics will sense movement and go off.

Probably wants new tie rods anyway if not done before. As above easy to do in situ with the tool. If its cup pack, you will need the correct length tie rods to suit, prob best off using oem

172/182 arch liners rarely come up 2nd hand in good nick and everybody needs them :LOL:

I wish it was🤣 Ive finally started prepping the Extra van for Anglesey so ill be bolloks deep in subframe and sump removal tomorrow. If all goes well and good progress might get it done in a day.

Tempted but got a shitload of stuff to do this weekend. If i get majority done tomorrow might have a pop down

Steering wheel looks great. Pain about the squib, they are super fragile. I hate removing ren airbags for that reason as easily damaged.

The plastic on the aftermarket ones are terrible. I fitted one to my clio dci, the flap part that clips to subframe support snapped when fitting. Had to tie wrap it together

Disklok deters most drive away criminals. The storage case is worth buying to stop it flying all over the car, cant remember if you get it with it.

Stick a set of cheapo universal centre caps in, stops the hub nuts rusting. Nightmare to match the spwedline anthracite however, had 2 attempts and give up😆

If original clio ph2 key were so easy to bypass then nobody would be struggling with red immobiliser light of doom on the dash :LOL: prove me wrong on this one but there is no easy trick to get them away, ph1 can be done but apart from that you need an emulator for ph2. I doubt anybody is...

Wouldnt bother with killswitch on oem ecu. Diskloc is usually a good deterrent if your worried.

Are you still on original engine ecu and uch? If yes, the oem immob is not easy to bypass so not worth the hassle. If on standalone ecu a hidden switch on the power to ecu or fuel pump will probably be sufficient

Catcams springs are fine with stock cams. I run them in 2 of my f4r on stock cams no wear, the followers are roller rocker. When fitting the springs will need to be shimmed to achieve the correct fitted height.

Id be tempted to use the proper anaerobic sealant as there is a chance any thats squidged out might block oilways in the head or end up in the sump blocking the oilpump strainer. Ive never personally had to revisit a cam cover after sealed with loctite 518 or the renault equivalent blue...

Have you used silicone on the cam cover or anaerobic sealant?

Cheers mate. Keep them tidy, bit of maintenance and run them until the bodywork is no longer presentable. At this rate prob see me out :LOL:

Update. Quick blast down to Croft yesterday as an Opentrack day was on. I was initially going to see if i could get on in the pm but didnt bother in the end. I was on some antibiotics last week and they have knocked several shades of shite out of my stomach :cautious: Weather was epic and...

Updates. Blue dci 186800 current mileage. Not done loads of miles since last update, odd day of running about with work and the usual day to day use. I had a chirp starting to develop from the aux belt area from cold. I get a bit twitchy with stuff like this as dont want it failing and doing...

Ive not personally done a set, i think you need a tool to do them in situ. @Mr Underhill is the man to ask.

Looks like an epic trip. Splitter so close to destruction on karussell!

100%. Every set of originals ive seen are well on their way out.

Glad you enjoyed the few laps mate. Was quite hard to pedal it round there suspension still needs a ton of work. Currently working out a plan for that. Cheers mate. Wish i had invested in it years ago, makes leak finding super easy!

Bilt hamber Autowheel or Korrosol usually shifts it with a couple of application's, agitate it well with a wheel brush

Its a pretty horrible job to do the bushes. I usually remove them with fire and a hacksaw. Large vice will usually do to fit the new ones if you dont have a press. Press is a better option though loads easier.
