As above either bend the actuator rod or give the bracket a kiss with the hammer in a vice, wont take much.

What do you reckon to the diesel oil pump? I see a few places selling it as an upgrade.

Just had this one done by Otto retrims for my megane. Mega quality.

Updates Hit the switch last week on the turbo and a nice new Pulsar g25 660 arrived today. Still need to source a couple of small items but almost ready to fit. Prepare for takeoff in 2026 ;)

Probably is. Its listed for some obscure brand of car but was cheap for bosch motorsport so not arguing :LOL:

Updates Washed the r26 after spa. Brake dust was horrendous and down both sides of the car. Good dose of fallout remover sorted that. I think its pissed down with rain every day since cleaning. Fitted an autodimming interior mirror. This is a plug and play upgrade, well it should have been...

Id be modifying the actuator bracket so its away from the bulkhead. Chop and weld.

I have an ebay special one. Pretty good, mostly covered me in s**t whilst doing it :LOL:

Basically your issues are due to worn diff bearings. If you replace the clip and washer, it will go again. Renfort is drilled and tapped into the diff casing. It does away with the circlip.

Fit Jb3 too assuming thats what its running.

Renfort plate. Bit tricky to fit jn situ, but doable

Brakes not related as clutch is cable and not hydraulic. As above try lubing the cable, cable might be worn etc. Its a common issue on them, mine used to creak when hot. I personally think it was something to do with the clutch pressure plate

Unfortunately most top mounts are poor. I fitted snr top mounts to my dci, and they are also finished on 20'000 miles. Oem renault top mounts might be best option.

Use the correct settings for the head bolts you are using. To chuck a spanner in the works, im sure most f4r use the same headbolts..if that is the case id use 250 settings. I used arp head studs on mine as i got them for free. They go down in ft/lb with no angle tighten. Yank shite :LOL:

Good stuff the millers running in oil. Not sure if you have used it before or not, but change it often and keep the load light, as its piss thin.

Otto retrims done this one in my dci.

Otto retrims. Hes done a few for me, and all spot on.

Also never seen a mk3 rs with sunroof. Definitely a rare option.

Sounds strong, shame box give in!

Mega result.

Updates. Give the blue dci egr a once over on Sunday as looks a bit more black smokey than usual. Ten min job to remove and examine, looked pretty clean so straight back in. Offered up the egr blank whilst apart, it seemed to be a loose fit and i could imagine it leaking so sacked that...

Good old yank imperial fasteners. Arp are always a pain.

I think its going to be 660. Updates Changed egt bosses on the Nortech manifold to a more common size of 1/8 NPT so i can run motorsport inconel egt sensors. Purchased a new turbosmart compgate 40 which bolts straight on. Just turbo to order now. Oil return fittings have been ordered so can...

Im sure a gtt with no boost makes the same, but might be wrong😅

85hp

Make a good daily that.

No need to silicone all the way round, all you need is a line across main cap and oil pump cover plate as per workshop manual and torque the bolts in the correct pattern. Ive used both genuine and non genuine sump gaskets and all work ok. Is the sump cracked as it can happen when refitting? Are...

Following on from the Spa trackday on the Friday, went to the Nurburgring on the Sat. Its only 1hr 20 or so from Spa, so no brainer for a sightseer. Arrived mid morning. Weather had cleared up from and the sun was out. 1st stop complex. Track was only open 2:30-4:30pm so had a bit of lunch...

Need clip to see what fauls are stored with electrical fault light on. Usually relates to fusebox area/corrosion on relays, white plug corrosion etc. Remove and refit relays if any further issues.

Geo be a country mile out with all new bits.
