Kerosene and something to lubricate it with is fine I think. People use normal diesel and then add a bit in for a cleaner burn.
2-ethylhexyl nitrate and 2 stroke oil is a good mix to boost cetane levels as well. Can buy that by the drum ahahah
And then it happened...
Driving along, do a 2nd gear pull, someone jumps out in front... I braked but the bag of shite Yaris behind me didn’t...
This was back in October just as I’d finished uni and was looking for a job. So I was skint! It happens at the best times!
I said to the lad, I...
Also fitted a set of 172 black insert Xenons I picked up for £30. Had to refurb them but that was only £7 for a pack of various wet and dry from Halfrauds

Just spray it with any primer mate. I rubbed mine down with a wire brush to scuff it up.
And get rid of the stickers anyway[emoji40][emoji6]

At this point in September last year I’d got so far into cleaning and detailing that I bought a machine polisher, various compounds, polishes, sealants and waxes. So I set on tackling the 220,000 mile old paint[emoji85]
As you can expect the pair was horrid. I don’t have any other pictures but...
After a while of having the dCi I picked up a full sport kit in Pearl black from my mate for £80. So after it sitting in the garage for a while I decided it was time to make the dCi a rep[emoji85]
A billion self tappers in my painted Fabia splitter[emoji23][emoji23]
All grilles sprayed gloss...
Where’s everyone from in specific? I.e. Village?
I’m from Earlsheaton in Dewsbury (I say I’m from Wakefield because it’s a WF postcode and because most of Dewsbury is a shithole. My house ain’t in that bracket[emoji23])

I still can’t make my mind up whether that sausage in a bun looks over complicated and shite or whether it looks nice to eat[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I have my dCi with a standard 2 port MC but trying to buy a big red rebuild kit.
Now the task is trying to figure out how to measure the bore as there’s apparently 3 different bore sizes for dCi’s on 04. (More than likely 65/80/100)
Anyone have any clues on where to measure as the eBay...
I was sick of the car being filthy so I detailed it. I didn’t go full ham on the paint but I wanted the interior to be nice as thats where I spend my time.
The outside was cleaned and spray wax used. Photo is edited but back then I thought I was the dogs nuts with my white 172 alloys haha...
The mods now start on the dCi!
I also got rid of the horrible Megane alloys (until winter time anyway) and sold the tinted rear lights as I’m not a chav[emoji23]

This is the tale of 2 Clio’s.
Back in 2015 I bought a dCi 100 for pennies, it’s now on 243k and I have it where I like it. It’s taken a few years and a lot of miles to make it look alright.
However, last month I bought a 172 so it starts all over again, this time it will all be documented...
I’ve been getting 40mpg in my 172 driving like a lady. But now after 200 miles it’s down to about 34 haha.
My dCi 100 will see about 89mpg if on a long motorway run

Was looking at these Big Red ones last night mate.
There’s 3 different ones so I’m gonna have to measure my master cylinder anyway haha.
Cheers though
