Ah right I get you. Does it have any adjustability in it? I'm running the PMS aircon delete kit and they say to check the tension and adjust regularly.

How old is the aux tensioner on it? If that's seized up it may have been causing the belt to slip.

I usually just use a bit of hosepipe with a funnel shoved in the top. Not fancy but you can easily feed the hosepipe into the fill hole without too much fuss.

Cheaper than getting another recovery truck out again 🤷‍♂️

If you have lost the bottom arm bolt, it looks like you can still buy them new from KamRacing: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-wishbone-bolt-nut-renault-megane-mk2.html...

It wasn't just the French! Mitsubishi produced the L200 Animal edition in collaboration with the UK based surf brand...

For anyone who was curious as to what happened after they left CSF:

This is how my Vibratechnics mount looked when I installed it last year, if its of any help to you? I found that when installing the whole mount, its easiest to loosen off that little rubber one that sits on the subframe, and then start pushing stuff around until it starts to line up. It...

So I've scrolled through over 570 pages of adverts in the For Sale section, and I'm now up to 72 cars which I think is pretty good going! Unfortunately due to the death of Photobucket and other image hosting sites, I really struggled on some of the earlier ads as all the photos have been deleted...

Nice double spot the other day outside the bodyshop. Not many MK1 Ka's knocking around now!

I just fitted the purple bushes to the engine mounts, and even they caused quite a bit more NVH. I've read online that the black bushes are even worse, so bare that in mind.

I find that the TRW or FebiBilstein stuff works just as well as stock I've had no problems with them. I fitted the Powerflex mounts to my 197, they are much stiffer but increase vibrations into the cockpit by a lot!

Found a couple more while scrolling around on Facebook, up to 54 now!

Renault Parts Direct and KamRacing are my go-to's, they'll nearly always have the parts you want. Can also use code "rpdfree" for free shipping too. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/engine-parts/8200777542/...

I'm aware of how incredibly autistic this is, but I've had a lot of spare time at work at the moment so I've been trawling the internet in the hopes of recording every single Pearl Black Phase 1 that was sold in the UK. Currently I'm at 50 cars out of the potential 117, but I know there were a...

The original sensor screws into the back of the T-piece, so you retain the factory sensor. You'd run the secondary feed out the side of the T for the pressure gauge.

What sort of battery life do you get out of it? (Battery size dependant obviously)

I’ve been a headtorch warrior for the last few years but figured it was time for an upgrade :ROFLMAO: If Powertoolmate does a 10%off Milwaukee sale again, I’ll take the leap and buy it!

Anyone recommend a good under-bonnet light bar? I was looking at getting this milwaukee one as I've already got a couple of M12 batteries, but happy to hear some suggestions from others! Ideally it would need to be rechargeable/battery powered as I don't have any electrics in my shed...

Looks like it's rear ABS sensor bracket for a 197/200: https://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-oe-abs-sensor-bracket-rear-rs197-rs200.html

Edwin has been posting in the Clio 172 ph1 owners page on Facebook, asking for little bits of advice. Also he posted on his instagram the other day with the head fully off the engine, so clearly it needs a bit of work.

I find all 172/182's really suffer if you run them on 95, should really be on 97/99

Yep you're correct, he'll need one of these if it's still the original gearbox: https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/transmission-parts/renault-speedo-sensor-7700418919/

Just replace it. They're meant to have a fresh belt and tensioner every 3 years so it's worth doing. If you leave it, you run the risk of the aux belt snapping, wrapping around the crank pulley causing all sorts of expensive damage.

Looks quite tidy from the photos! Is this the CAT-S one that was up on the Facebook group the other day?

I had to turn that off after 2 minutes, I hate it when podcasts have shite audio quality. It's the same as the Dirtfish Rally Pod, I always want to listen to it but they're determined to record it in the loudest surroundings they can find.

Probably one of the only places on earth where they won't rust 😬

This was parked up at my local garage recently, can't be many left on the road now.

Might be worth sending ED an email to check, means you'd avoid pulling the engine back out like I had to do lol £250 doesn't seem so bad considering you can't buy the ph1 shafts anywhere now!

How much was the driveshaft refresh? Mine are looking quite tired now and could do with some sprucing up. Also make sure the clutch you're fitting works with the lightened flywheel. I made the mistake of fitting a stock clutch the first time around, which wouldn't engage any of the gears. Ended...
