F7 supplies all of the above, time to start unplugging stuff to see if you can eliminate it/find out what circuit is backfeeding. Ive no idea what central communication unit is - i get a feeling its part of the clock setup as it has 2x plugs. Is clock lit up all the time as ign on? Daft one-...

Wiring splice joins by the looks of it. I reckon the issue is pre fuse box, have you had test meter on it on the supply side to the fuse.

Normal wear after hard use.

Take it to Diamond Motors ltd and Mick will be able to replace the boot on the original driveshaft, he has the tools to do it and knows these cars inside out. Probably wont be far for you in the midlands, hes in Nottingham iirc https://www.facebook.com/diamondmotorsltd

Updates. R26 has not moved since CSF really, its been shuffled on the drive thats it. used it yesterday as the blue clio had no diesel in, and i couldnt be arsed filling it up :LOL: Shopping duties. Needed to order a new debit card so changed pic to a track one from CSF. Card matches the...

Ive had a quick look at clio2 ph2 wiring on visu. https://turborenault.co.uk/Visu/Clio2ph2/ENG/HTM/ENTREE.HTM Using visu for ref, radio is 261, fusebox is 1016, it seems to be linked to the cold air blower relay (233) and could be backfeeding it somehow in the underbonnet fusebox. Try pulling...

I know exactly which one you mean, the most pictured xr2 in the lakes. Somebody persuaded them to sell it and it actually moved without folding from memory :LOL:

Worth asking but agree owner prob thinks its worth as much as a well loved one. There used to be a r26r on a sidestreet near me in a decent area, black with faded graphics under 40k. Never seen it move for a couple of years until it went for good one day. I done some digging and the owner knew...

Crazy letting it sit there and get in a right state. Theres another white r26r in the lakes district in similar unloved condition. Owner wont sell.

Updates. CSF done and dusted. R26 performed excellent and made decent pace, handling felt awesome and was very easy to drive after pedalling the Extra van in the am session. Weather was great so absolutely made the right tyre choice running the Ar1's. Ready for action. Man and machine. Hot...

Forgot about that one, all the Roj plates

If the mounting points match then you would be better off without the bush. Valver/williams have the bush on o/s rear subframe mounting point for some reason.

They are similar but have differences from memory. I recall the clio has a bush on one subframe mounting point and the rad mounts are different.

A few track pics of the Extra from CSF from TurboRenault photographer. One day i might get a picture of it lifting a wheel.

After that carry on adding time to the job took it out for a bit of b road blasting and shopping trip this evening. Its always been noisy in the back with semi slick tyre whine when on the move which makes it difficult to hear any wheel bearing noise, but did have a resonance 50+ mph. That...

Updates. CSF done and dusted. Started with a 6 Hour journey to get to Anglesey which was awful. Heavy traffic with paddle clutch, bosch 044 fuel pump whine, side exit exhaust drone and ds1.11 pads squealing under light braking does not make a relaxed drive. Only fun part of the journey was the...

Battery bulkhead connection is a good way of going through to avoid any chance of chafing wiring. I recall people drilling the centre of the domed bit on passenger side of bulkhead on battery relocation. I put mine higher up behind arch liner as it suited my setup better

1100kg is light for mk2 @Ph1 Tom , how much did you need to strip out?

Not the worst job to do. The springs on the rear shoes are a pain in the arse though :cautious: Checked fluids on blue dci yesterday. Went to shut bonnet and it just bounced instead of latching. The catch had stuck open even though its well greased/opened fairly often. Took it out and the...

Updates. Blue dci plodding on as usual racking up the miles. Orange dci has not moved for ages due to recent rush to get cars ready for CSF and a bit of driveway congestion. Anyway took it for a run out on Wed night. Fired up as willing as ever. Started driving and noted brake pedal needed 50%...

Roger Hewitt owns it. Known him years, great lad. Hes just got the car/plate. He also has B18ROJ plate too.

I managed to grab a hour to give it a clean earlier this week, evening wash when weather cooled off. First wash did not reveal any issues at all, bodywork needs a few bits of tar removing on lower sides and it needs some protection but will be going for a detail/ceramic coat soon so opted not to...

Cheers all. Was awesome to hear the history from new off the PO, very rarely get the full story from new. To conclude original owner - around 2015 the car was garaged and didnt move due to work/life etc until recommission this year. A nice dry garage has preserved it so well though.

At a few car meets back in the day in the old Renaultsport.co.uk days. Carart pic Its been to Snetterton before. Done 4 laps as it was pissing down.

Previous owner had a ton of pics on his facebook that he let us download. Its great to know the full history from the off. Previous owner (PO) seen it on the back of the car transporter whilst at work waiting for it to be delivered. In transport for delivery. PO was waiting for delivery and...

Deox c ftw. Drop in and let it do the work. When you run out buy a kilo of citric acid. Same stuff and super cheap, mix with water and let it do the business.

Another car in the collection and its another meg 250 cup. Mrs fancied it and bought it. It was too good to turn down as only one owner from new, 17k on the clock, well specced with yellow dot recaros and a couple of mods, 3" ktec exhaust, forge intercooler, itg drop in filter and mapped by...

Papped driving on the first pic! Thanks for the few laps in it mate, mega bit of kit! Quick too loads of power, box was awesome with flat shift once used to it. Was great fun in race mode after i stopped been a fanny and knocked the aids off. Probably should have mentioned that it was the...

Great job on the repair, if it was body colour wouldnt be able to tell anything has been done.

Next year is the year mate. It was performing mega this year and ive got a few more mods planned, so your in for a treat. Maybe even full slicks if i dare:unsure:
