You will need to splice into the coil wiring as the ecu uses canbus for rpm feed to the cluster.

Id probably use a time sert instead of a helicoil. As above can be done in situ but ultimately head off is best. If your not keen on doing it give this fella a call. He drilled out a glowplug for me and done a fantastic job. He does stuff like this all day long...

Updates Blue dci due mot this week. Ive given it a pre mot check over and apart from a pinhole in passenger side cv boot it all looks decent and should pass without too much drama. Done a few long ish runs in it and the mpg is even better on the £25 map. Went to gainsborough to pick up a...

Back to the project post. Last post was around April 2021 and the suspension and brakes were completed, so at a guess this was late April / early May. Next job on the list was to sort some minor paintwork to the front jacking points. The sill lip had been jacked up incorrectly cracking the...

Awesome views. Had a great time and really enjoyed it noting almost 270miles and 3/4 of a tank of fuel used on the Sat. Ticked over 45k on the way back to Moggys. This was largely a shakedown for the trophy as ive not really used it in anger too much so was hoping there would not be any little...

Trophy weekender 2022 update. I had fancied doing the Trophy weekender for years after seeing all the pics from previous years. The problem is i did not actually have a trophy to do it in until recently, so the goal was always to take number 54 to the welsh mountains. Steve had always planned...

Good to meet you mate. Really enjoyed the weekender, the roads were ace. Might do both days next year.

Thats some bullshit generic code from a crap scanner. Scan it with can clip so you can actually see the correct df codes stored and why its stored.

Im not a big fan of covers, wind making them rub against the paint. Might be better getting it ceramic coated and regular washing to keep it right.

Renault visu has all of the official wiring diagrams.

The alpine stereo will be decent, i have the dab tuner version and its good.

Bit of an interim update inbetween the project thread. First wash since its been coated with gtechniq before csf. It was not really mucky, more dusty with a few bugs on the front and brake dust all over the front wheels. I didnt even need to contact wash the bodywork, BH snowfoam and rinse was...

Rivnut kit is great. I bought one a while back and have used it for loads of jobs.

Prob be a fairly easy fix with new resistors that.

Pretty normal to see 20-30deg higher oil temps than coolant when your driving it hard or on track. My oil temp has been going up fast with the higher ambient temps this summer.

Looks miles better with the tint gone.

My old 172 engine also idled good with new injectors. Was s**t before i changed them.

Water temp gauge stays in the same place most of the time but in reality the coolant temp is up and down. 80-94deg oil temps pretty normal though on cruising, in normal weather. Id expect the oil to be within a few degrees of coolant temp when driving normally. 110deg is fine if driving quick...

A little bit more missy than normal but not horrific. It will smooth out with raised idle of a/c. Same issue with the megane 225 when injectors need changing, id stick a new set of injectors in if not already changed.

We all used to do just fine in the old cars with no abs, dont see what the panic is not having it. No problem for a good driver, shouldnt be relying on it to pull you out the s**t at the last minute regardless.

Check for rust everywhere. Seen quite a few rusty clio's recently. Rest is all easy to fix, bodywork and welding is expensive.

Suspension and stoppers. Its still April 2021 and next job on the list was to fit the Northloopcup roll correction kit. This was a simple plug and play job so was a nice easy couple of hours work. Hubs fitted. Offered up the custom reyland rotor and bells to the Jamsport wilwood kit. Hit a...

Ive not got a kit for the clio or meg its on the list to buy. I was thinking about drilling an old header tank cap and fit a schrader valve like i used to do on the gtt's years ago and pump up with a foot pump or similar.

I dare say yours will be ok engine wise. Stick 1bar of pressure in the header tank that will find any external leaks. I was on the verge of pressuring this up but found it straight away when removing plug.

Circlip holds the bearing into the rear disc. If the disc wont pull off with hub nut removed, you might need a puller.

Typically i was planning to take it to the Nurburgring in 4 weeks. Got my Compomotive mo6 1880 refurbed in anthracite ready for the trip but was not to be. Took them down to Advance Detail in Leeds to be ceramic coated with Gtechniq crystal serum ultra. I took Jon who owns Advance Detail out in...

The bad The bad news is that i noted a bit of white smoke on boost out of the exhaust when Shez was giving it some last Sat. Overall the engine is mostly running OK and going well, but still had 10 second misfire from cold and coolant use has not gone away. It lured me into a false sense of...

The good, the bad and the ugly The good first. Took the Kangoo to The Motorist in Leeds for Vanned show last sat. Also took my Extra van and joined by my old Kangoo 172 cup. Meet up outside my mates house for convoy down. Random pull in off a19 to ahem water the plants. Random parking looked...

Looks like its scrubbed up well. Keep us updated with progress (y)
