    220 almost dies after starting up and then doesn't run right/ won't go above 2000 revs.

    Needs diagnostics with clip, could just be a basic plug or coil. Doubt its related to airfilter, they dont have a maf from memory so wont be an airflow issue.

    Oops I did it again... Adey's Clio 200 EDC

    I guess the povo spec mk4 has slightly different hubs to rs? Meg2 is also threaded where it goes into the hub, nylock on top and povo hubs have the pinch bolt.

    Oops I did it again... Adey's Clio 200 EDC

    Looks very similar to meg2 wishbone/balljoint, is it listed as espace balljoint? I pop them out and back in using the press with arm off. One of them ball joint presses that you gun up would do the trick in situ nicely.

    Engine mounts are an easy swap, nothing to worry about regarding snapped bolts.

    Renault Clio Cup III x85 - Racing problem with losing power

    At a guess maybe failing fuel pump. Can you hook up diagnostics to the ecu to determine all sensors are reading correctly.

    Clio 4 rear drum brakes really rusty

    If these drums are similar to mk2 they might have the bearing pressed in, so acid dip will wash all the grease out if that is the case. Id just wire wheel them and prime/paint in situ. Hour a side, will look better than current.

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    Updates. Kangoo was looking a bit sad and paint was a bit flat with slight oxidation on the roof, bumpers/plastics faded and a bit of oxidation on the headlamps. Ive not polished it since last cut 4 years ago so its done quite well with a handful of applications of c2v3 over the years. Had a...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Ive used it on heavily corroded steel with success, i usually mix it a bit stronger and chuck the parts in for a day or two. Good wire brush before to get the thick off to speed up the process.

    Brigsy's other cars - formerly kangoo 172 cup

    A few pics from on track. Its a shame i never got a few more sessions in as i like Mallory, its a quick circuit. A few days after Mallory i dug my spare mac valve out to fit. Was originally on the trophy briefly..test it and works OK so wire it up. New one on the left. Fitted and static...

    Brigsy's other cars - formerly kangoo 172 cup

    RRG update. Took the Extra van to Mallory Park for Retro Rides gathering a couple of weeks ago. RRG is one of the best Retro car shows of the calendar year and is a mega day. I had booked the Extra on the 2 lap sprint in the afternoon for full send laps on high boost. Id done a bit of prep and...

    Thats proper french, just needs a baguette in the pic somewhere :LOL: There is a lot of love for these old renault vans in france. When i took mine to Lci show in paris a couple of years ago the french loved it as its not possble to make a gtturbo conversion in one legal overseas.

    Decent garage around Teesside/ Guisborough

    I wouldnt know who to recommend around here to be fair, too many hit and miss places. Interestingly Andy Harland came up in convo today, one of my mates worked with him years ago and said hes ex renault master tech.

    Poor braking performance

    Needs bleeding again, air in the system is causing a longer pedal. Activate abs pump with diagnostics when bleeding.

    Renault 5 sleeper - F4R on ITB’s

    Keep the steels mate they look class. New engine will have a bit more power that will offset the need to put it on a diet :cool:

    Fuel pump not always priming

    Pump is inside the sender. That should be ok.

    Daily dci

    Cheers mate. Massive difference with new top mounts on, old ones were well past their best.

    Fuel pump not always priming

    On stock map the pump only primes on 2nd cycle of ignition which is usually not an issue when all working ok. Pump change wont change this as thats how it works as original. Your issue is the fuel pressure reg intank is not holding pressure which causes the long crank if not primed. Bang a new...

    Daily dci

    I actually think the new shaft was sport, got it off ebay and seller has had my eyes out. Id check the cv but ive launched it into the wheelie bin in rage. Length seemed ok with old outer cv on so sent it, had 10mm so plunge when fitted.

    Bumblebee 2 featuring LY R26

    Updates. Had a spare half hour on sat so changed the oil for fresh valvoline synthpower 5/40 and purflux filter. Assume position. Used my new sealey funnel on it to fill up the oil. Absolute game changer on meg with the angled filler. Well worth buying. Need to change passenger side hub as...

    Daily dci

    Updates. Blue dci was getting super knocky on the front suspension, and i had the bits in stock. Had a spare day yesterday so cracked on. After checking it over a while back it needed n/s track rod end, top mounts both sides as originals on 190k, o/s driveshaft due to bearing on wet boot...

    Renault 5 sleeper - F4R on ITB’s

    Ds1.11 will absolutely sort your brake issues mate even with limited cooling with the steelies. Paint started bubbling on my steelies at Anglesey and no brake fade.

    Lumpy idle when warm…live data shows -20% long term fuel trim - running rich?

    Impact gun is totally the incorrect way to tighten a cam pulley nut, they need to be torqued to spec or risk it slipping. Your supposed to hold the cam pulley with a locking tool whilst tightening.
