    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    Cheers all. Getting there slowly First time id seen 2x valves @frayz didnt realise it was for nitrogen, good info. I initially thought the wheel had been cocked up! Good info @VenomUK Ive freed it off and well greased now. Possibly scuttle was blocked when previous owner had it. Will bleed...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    A few more jobs done Kangoo clutch pipe was knacker tight so ordered a hel 250 dampener delete pipe. Had to modify the kangoo bulkhead joiner to fit the 250 pipe. Filled reservior up and stuck a pipe/syringe on the bleed point on clutch slave, pulled a vac and it bled up straight away, so...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    Done a bit more at the weekend. Mostly mocking up what will fit and finding out what needs modification. Tried a few combinations of gear cables that i have in stock, no joy as all around 75-100mm too short. Custom length bowden push pull cables are not too expensive so should be easy to sort...

    How closely related are the Clio and Dacia Sandero?

    Prob be able to get a f4r in quite easy. Id bet its a cross between mk2 meg/twingo/mk3 clio, exactly the same as this Kangoo im building. Looking at the subframe id be aiming at mk2 twingo for suspension, should be able to cross over clio rs mk2 parts. From my findings most of the modern...

    Life in these Toyo R888s?

    Bin fodder. That design has been out of production for ages, id bet 8-10 years old minimum, so well past their best.

    Weekend progress Foggy on Sat which was not motivating me to do any outside work. So dtuck all the ancillaries back on the engine, mocked up wiring (ignore the incorrectly plugged in wiring as couldnt be arsed popping the bonnet on the 225 to find out what goes where :LOL: ) Filled it up...

    Odd brake pressure issue non cup 172 ph2

    At a guess caliper seal must be on its last legs. Had similar issues with rear cylinders on drum abs setups. Pedal goes long yet firm, traced to a minor weep from the cylinder, not enough to see a drop of fluid on the deck but enough to give a shite pedal.

    Power Tool Perverts

    If your buying one impact gun, would buy the larger m18 gun as that will handle any of the heavy stuff you need to undo. You can get them on all the suspension components no worries with the right length socket. Do all the milwaukee gear come with 3 year warranty? My m12 die grinder is playing...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    Done a few more bits to the engine yesterday. Started off with setting cam timing and torquing the pulleys/tensioners up. Tippex method ;) :LOL: Cambelt cover on, aux pulley torqued, top cover mocked up as still need the spacers for the studs. Inlet mocked up, need to drill and tap the end...

    Small job done tonight after gym. The meg 250 inlet has a breather solenoid fitted which i dont have and is about a ton new. I wont be needing it as basically emissions crap as far as i can tell and i will be running a catch tank setup from the breather plate. Anyway tried sniffing out a 2nd...

    The old style mo6 in 5x108 and right offset are made of unobtanium for the meg, so much graft to get this set I even asked compomotive to make me a set and they fucked me off:LOL: Still fancy a set of r26r wheels to add to the collection

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    The two valves are mad, i thought it had been a f**k up when making the wheels initially, googled it to check it out and seems to be a rally thing. Another pic from the side Ive come to the conclusion with a good bit of power itll be for go and not for show :LOL: Seen quite a few modded Kangoo2...

    Nothing much happening with the Extra van at the moment, not touched it since Croft but will pull the engine out soon for more upgrades. All the cars are sorn for winter so its diesel power for now :LOL: Had the blue meg out to try on the comps at the weekend, so done a collage of all 3 sets...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    Picked up a new set of wheels last weekend. Ive been sniffing around for a while for nice wheels and anything nice in 5x108 is like rocking horse poo to find. Story goes like this. Back in the day around 5 years ago i went to a TurboRenault rolling road day at RsTuning in Leeds and seen a nice...

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    I got my seats for a bargain £400, a good pair seem to be anywhere between £600-800 if you want a mint set. This set needed a clean with a wet vac and had to paint the inserts up. Dead easy to fit though, pm me if you need any advice (y)

    Blue meg has been used a bit too. Had to pop down to Ipswich for an ebay purchase last weekend and give it a ride out. Drives so good, nice comfy recaros. Sat on cruise most of the journey 34mpg, 520 miles. Give it a good clean up when we got back Sorn until next year now weather has turned...

    Fast forward a couple of weeks later and go over to Croft to help fit a set of rear pads. Stuck my lid in again and paid for all afternoon as the weather was great. Handling is great with the quaife lsd and can really get on the power on low boost as no drama and really smooth. Its hard work to...

    Updates Extra van has been used quite a bit in the last few weeks. One of my mates was at Croft in his meg on bank hol Monday. He needed a 24mm spanner taking over so dropped it off as only 30 mins away from the house. Chucked my lid in and next thing ive paid for the last hour on track for a...
