I can remember you saying that before, wonder why. They insure Teesside, which used to be the car crime capital of the uk at one point :LOL: Also says no Bm’s too

I now have a 19t hybrid turbo, and an engineless meg r26 to strip for hubs, wiring etc. Really need to stop spending :LOL:

Mine are all insured separately. Multi car policys never seem to cover exactly what you want, avoid trade unless you have a business, as the value will be low on the car if you need to claim, then they might want vat receipts. Most good insurers will mirror ncb onto other cars. Both the megs...

The cabasse speakers are alright, but most are past their best now and the foam outer is crumbling. Last about 5 mins before the cone starts rattling. Bosh some half decent aftermarket speakers in.

Camber bolts, or elongate the bolt holes on the strut to suit required camber.

Looks like the project might be starting sooner rather than later, just bought a meg r26 bottom end with a set of wossners and pec rods fitted, and a rebuilt 250cup pk gearbox. If i pull my finger out, might make Cliosport festival😉

Cheers for the replys all, cant wait to get stuck in. If weather is alright over xmas, ill try and get the diseasel out for the scrap man. Said to the mrs that the 250 cup would make a nice engine donor, did not go down well :LOL:

9 windscreen is the same as 11. Ive had 3x 11 turbos back in the day and broke a few low spec for parts. 3 door turbo interior parts were stupidly hard to find 20 years ago in good nick. What does it need ? A lot of the mechanical parts are shared with the r5.

I bet the quaife makes a canny difference to the way it drives. The pms rear arb looks like a great bit of kit, first time i have seen one fitted.

I reckon its one of the shortest proper vans available. Quite lardy at 1260ish kg, but still 100kg lighter than a meg. Once i ditch a few bits inside, and stick 300hp up front with lsd it should be alreet;)

I was going to buy an m2 and thin the fleet out, but as im an idiot i bought more scrap :LOL:

Im going to get the manifold, exhaust housing and downpipe ceramic coated. Just looking at options at the moment. I had downpipe wrapped years ago, was alright until engine had been in and out a few times then it all fell off. Replaced with stuff that was not up to the job which smouldered and...

TDLR - im an idiot and keep buying scrap Renaults and a new project is in stock:LOL: A few months ago in my old job i had a 68reg Kangoo, got it with delivery mileage brand new. Noted pretty crap in diesel form, and handling average however i had heard that the underpinnings were very similar...

A few bits done to the Extra engine today. The parts quality is shocking for the C1j gtt engines now, had to die grind a channel in the waterpump casting so it would fit, shitty aftermarket parts. May ditch this for refurbed oem or new old stock if possible to find, will see how it goes. Fitted...

Cheers mate(y) Hoping to have them all sorted for next year, and get some decent use out of them, instead of constant fixes or upgrades. Will see how it goes:LOL:

Hard to find a good mk2 dci with sensible miles on now. I viewed a flamer dci80 off facebook market place the other day for a mate, looked great in the pics but absolute scrap in reality, bonnet was so rotten inside the latch had almost fallen off! Was a shame really as it only had 80k on the...

Prob injector, worth boshing in a full set if one is at fault. Also the leads can go pete tong, so worth sticking a fresh set of oem beru leads on.

Check the small exciter wire is connected up to the alternator, as they can break resulting in no battery light/charge. if the wiring checks out ok, assume alternator is dead

Drop kick that generic obd reader into the bin, that code is nothing to do with the 172 gearbox

Had a few spare hours yesterday, so painted up a few more parts and fitted. Coming together slowly, and might see it back in the hole soon:oops:

Bog standard m8 bolt, drill it out

Its a great place to go for a petrolhead, get a trip booked up for next year. Hell of a drive to Dover or Kent from Scotland, go via newcastle overnight ferry to Amsterdam, its class on a weekend in the nightclub on the ferry

All the cars i see running stock belts with buckets look well dodgy to be fair, to do it right id be using a harness.

Last time we went in the meg, it worked out cheaper going on the overnight ferry from Newcastle as need 4-5 tanks of fuel to go via eurotunnel lol.

Had a couple of hours spare on Monday, so made a little bit of progress, head on and torqued up. Slow progress is better than none i guess. Treated myself to a new Aem X series afr gauge to replace my old innovate Lc-1.

Well deserved clean for both dci's. Roll on the next road trip !! Thanks for reading

Day 4 Sunday, wake up to a fresh Adenau, first dusting of snow overnight, and hard frost -3deg at 9am. -3 cold start no bother at all. Quick stop at the complex on the way back, Suns out but its mega cold, and track is closed due to ice. Weather picks up through France to around 12deg mid day...

Walked some of the Steak off Walk back to the Pistenklaus for more Bitburgers as it was getting a bit chilly;) Day 3 (Sat), wake up fresh "Bit(burger) in the evening, Fit in the morning" nice weather 8deg. Reverse rally was on so watched that, spotted a R5gte Nurburgring castle Quick blast...

Epic road trip in the orange dci last weekend. Day 1 Thursday Started with brimming the tank with posh Vpower diesel in prep for the trip, range of 722 miles. First stop in Kent for a nice airBnB we had booked right near the eurotunnel. s**t drive down in the rain, but nice place made up for...

Most likely wrong length or poor recon. I have had many a poor recon driveshaft before sadly.
