You been round Dewsbury before? I’ll keep a look out for you This is mine so keep your eyes peeled as I’m Birstall quite often[emoji6]

Yeah dCi 68 use the same setup as the 100 If I were you I’d be picking stuff up all the time if it’s that cheap![emoji23] I bought a full dCi 100 for parts so I wouldn’t have to buy any large bits for mine for a while[emoji23]

Legend mate That looks good! I think I’m sold on that idea[emoji23]

Just seen a lovely and clean trophy sat in traffic on the M62 just before the M1 at J29 I was in my dCi and tried to slow down enough to get your attention without looking like a silly t**t[emoji23]

Ah go that route if you already have pipework I was going to get the Dacia one but found a spare 100 one. Think the Dacia is around £70?

I like your thinking!![emoji23] May give that a go as I want to have a look around for some Megane 16” steel wheels

I’ve not seen either of those before[emoji848]

Any intercooler makes them things so much better! Ford Transit one will fit, get the 2.4 130bhp one iirc though as they’re larger and the end tanks aren’t plastic.

Cambelt today, new expansion tank and I must have cleaned off about half a mtric f**k tonne of grease and oil from inside my cable covers and down the side of the block!! Cambelt/waterpump all back on and timed Everything all back together. And to say this is when I “cleaned” a lot of stuff...

So when you putting an intercooler on it and getting it mapped then?![emoji102][emoji23]

You don’t half like it! There’s about £600 in gold tape there[emoji102][emoji6][emoji23]

Aye but at £50 for absolutely tiny amounts it’s a tad horrible[emoji23] @bloke not sure if I want to do that, you had any issues with that before?

Yeah that’s fine by me mate! My dCi is rough as sin anyway lol I’ll pm you [emoji846]

Found out today that my dCi is getting rarer and rarer? Who knows, by Christmas there might be less than 500 at the rate that they're getting squashed! Also been looking at options for new wheels for my 172 as I dunno if I want to use the slipstreams or not. I have a hankering for...

I'd be happy to mate! I have a 172 mount on there atm with the larger metal part in the rear mount so has stiffened it some but the front mount is a little worse for wear haha Link to my vid ain't liking the thread ;)

Not nice (Video)

Yeah not my brightest idea to date? I'll post a vid soon... It'll make your teeth hurt just listening lol I wish she did, she got right pissy about it??

The minimum spacer is for the rear as the lip from the spacer will snap off if used on the rear mate Pic attached is my 15mm eBay specials after 10 mins lol. I think the spigot lip on the rear disc is 17.3mm so 18mm is needed to clear that or risk cracking the spigot off of the spacer like I...

No worries mate I think the smaller bush replacement and standard rear bush would be a great happy medium for some people. I know all too well the harshness of polybush mounts, especially being stuck in traffic for 3 hours in my dCi with a solid dogbone!! Wasn't nice at all and had a migraine...

Only down road from you ;)

Yeah if there's no up and down/side to side play then that should be fine, process of elimination and all that

Yeah as long as you didn't swing on a breaker bar to tighten them up, easiest way to tell is if you pull the pinch bolt out and it has one slightly flat spot enough to cause a tiny bit of play when you pry down the lower arm

Also done this except I heard it go "TWANG" so I stopped and took it back apart again

Yeah that much rotation is fine as the top mount should turn with the whole shocker assembly iirc Try the new bush kit as it will rule that out anyway, you might be able to see the bottom and top spring seats with the shocker on but you'll need to remove the wheel in order to get your noggin in...

Just have a look on eBay mate. Or have a look at the Direnza ones, they're decent quality from my past experiences H&R are shoddy considering the reputation they have, I went back to eBay spacers after using H&R as I just didn't trust them much

They should rotate with the shocker ever so slightly but it shouldn't be anything drastic You may have rotated the spring out of its seat or the bearing might just be fucked

Seems odd you only get it every so often I chased “loose” steering feel in my dCi for absolutely ages and it turns out the hub was I Alex in the ballpoint hole and even after replacing the ballpoints it would still be the same anyway Also have you jacked the engine up? It might seem that your...

Did you put everything back on the right way? Jack the car up and give everything a right good pulling and tugging, there’s multiple different things it could be from ball joints to rack rubbers. Only way to try and see is to have a thorough going over in my experience I’d start with ball...

Yeah I just buy sheets and discs separate and use some decent plastic compound and plastic polish now. Cheaper and easier I find

Nah sanding is the only way! I usually dry sand with like 600 first, then if I need to move down to about 280 then work my way up to 3000 and ceramic coat em a few times
