Id guess uch issues. Send it off for repair.

Save your money unless going 400+hp, stock inlet is not a restriction. Put the money towards vag or ndo gearbox conversion instead. That will be more beneficial in the long run.

Might be possible to get the map off the old tcu and flash it on. Wonder if mpps or similar would do it

Masking tape and 1mm cuting disc is ok. The shears are epic though if doing loads of cuts as gives a very clean sharp cut where grinder gets a little bit of an edge on it, and you can cut them in situ with the shears. I use these ones paid about £15 a few year back...

If its your first time using the ptfe then buy a set of large electric cable shears to cut it. Makes life very easy when fitting. Also avoid rubber like the plague if running inside the car. It omits fuel fumes and stinks

Use ptfe/nylon overbraided an line. Its hard plastic with overbraid and never fails. Basically more or less same as oem with braid. Torques brand again is fine. And remember to order the correct fittings to suit. Recommend using the nylon finish or the stainless braid with the clear rubber...

Torques/motamec an fittings are always pretty decent from experience. Avoid any unbranded chinese shite though.

Id personally renew the lot straight back to the tank in an6 pipe and use one of these on the sender. It might fit the connectors on the plastic pipes too but unsure https://ebay.us/m/i4zDRm

Cant wait. R26 is ready. Extra van needs a little bit of work though.

Stick with stock bushes if the rest is standard. If your on aftermarket suspension and want it to be a bit sharper, powerflex black. Expect more vibration etc.

Looks much better with the turinis in silver.

Does the car run? Ecu/injection fuse ok in underbonnet fusebox? Do you have power to it?

Doesnt make much difference either way, if you ever plan on going back to standard setup leave plug on

A few bits ive got recently 2nd hand. Under £100 for the lot delivered which i think is pretty good. Snap on 3/8 multi position ratchet. Quality internal/external oldskool churchill, bluepoint and mac circlip pliers to replace my knackered cheap sets.

Interesting stuff. I have a few 250 filters, should try them. I do know on other cars (r5gtt's) a larger filter caused oil pressure loss. Again might be specific to them as the oil pressure is not great overall.

Either filter should work. Be interesting to log oil pressure to see if any changes.

Absolutely fit better rear pads to match. I have just fitted ds2500 pads to the back of my trophy and meg r26, and have noted improvements to braking on both.

From looking at the pics earlier it looks like discs are too small and pads will overhang. The trw 197 calipers are pretty crap too not really an upgrade.

Both 60deg taper so if the length is right ok to use. The longer threaded bolts look like aftermarket to me.

All on visu see attached pdf. 160 is the brake light switch. 1016 is passenger side fuse box. 120 is injection ecu. 172 & 173 are rear lights. Be easy enough. Id stick it in between pins A1/B1 & A3 to test, prob work ok..pins will be marked on the plug.

I might have a refurbed set in the garage if you want to buy a set.

These type? Drill out the remains of the bolt and put a nutsert in.

Rag and brake cleaner works mega.

Im going to try refitting the rubber boot and grease. Mine only rattles a bit at motorway speed/cruising so not bad overall but if it will shut it up its a bonus

Thanks mate. Should be 100% on for it, i dont think ill have it in for mapping before but it can go as is. Be good to catch up its been ages!

Update. Took the Trophy to a local meet yesterday, Papped on entry. Not had time to fit the fuel pipe for testing but i have changed the length of the vac pipe to the fpr, shortening it by 75mm or so to see if any change to top end fuelling. Nothing noteworthy/basically no change on the...

Keep it original colour unless taking the engine out to do the bay and doors off etc. Always looks poor with different coloured engine bay and any missed bits.

Small update No fuel hose testing yet as was pissing down last weekend. With this running megane block i have to run associated alternator setup. This runs a renault traffic alternator bracket, megane 225 alternator, aux tensioner, avensis idler pulley which assume replaces the hpas pump and...

Update. New battery arrived so fitted it this afternoon. Obviously nothing is straightforward and as soon as i touched the negative wire the ring terminal snapped due to corrosion. Luckily i have a stack of terminals left over from building the Trophy's wiring harness. Hydraulic wire crimpers...
