Updates. Technomagnesio alloys with fresh Ar1's are on. Quick run out to check all good. Driveway congestion. Massive improvement in turn in. Also massive downgrade in comfort and noise as per usual for semi slicks. Quick wash, fuel up and csf here we come. Thanks for reading!!

Use the box section as pictured here and axle stand next to jack. Its solid and a proper low profile jack will reach it no problem on a lowered clio.

Axle stands over ramps all day long. Way too much aggro getting a lowered car onto ramps and then usually in the way. Best thing you can do is buy a low profile jack with 100mm plate. Safe and can get to the chassis rail underneath so no need to wreck the sill.

They sorted themselves out after drying suprisingly. Work good now and retract properly.

Extra van is about ready. R26 just needs fuel and good to go

Cheers mate. Cars all over!! :LOL: Mrs is currently cleaning the 250 interior, its absolutely unmarked with yellow dot recaros, rs monitor, dual climate etc. Previous owner said he had never used the boot and it looks like it too as the rear trim doesnt have a mark on it. Its loads quicker...

Updates Heatwave so decide to sort the brakes out on the Extra for CSF. Give the front brake pipe a quick squirt with plusgas and cracked straight off with my new ching spec ratchet spanner. Works suprisingly well for a cheapo. Calipers, discs and pafs off and cleaned hubs up to get any...

Updates Done 470mile road trip to Norwich in the r26 on Sunday to view another car. Brimmed with momentum 99 Crap services on A1 Sneak preview of the new addition. Another meg 250 cup.Was too good to turn down so the mrs bought it. Hers and his yellow megs. R26 is really good on fuel for a...

As above change the pedal. Had same issue i grabbed the pedal, wiggled it a bit side to side and it seemed to work a bit longer before light on again

The floor is mega thin, any half decent hss drill bit will do.

Buy another set of used oem and get them cleaned up and bushes changed over to save downtime. Sell yours to get some money back.

Used properly, love it.

Can fueltech support dbw control? If not your options are use clio 172 ph1 cable throttle or modify the later ph2 to take a suitable cable throttle.

Airbnb for the win. Praying for dry, as its semi slicks on both vehicles..

Updates. Thought i best pull my finger out and do a bit to the Extra with Anglesey/CSF only a matter of weeks away. It has been pissing down with rain all day which put me off doing anything, but with time ticking it needed road testing to check the clio dci steering rack was ok and geo/toe...

Could even use silver heat reflective self adhesive tape, if you can get it on decent.

Rusty rear arch, high mileage and no mention of belts etc. Prob only worth 2k.

Clean up, rust converter and chrome spray or even silver paint will make a massive difference to current fogs until you find a solution. Failing that put some cibie covers over the top

The snap on spanners are mega. I need to invest in a set, as the open end actually works instead of slipping.

Look spot on, i guess its the same colour anthracite they used years ago. I had a few sets done by them in the mid - late 2000's when Rob owned it and was always a good finish. I have a set that need doing again soon so will give them a go again, had them done by motorcool and powdercoat...

Good to hear tyres are all sorted mate, Woody always does a great job of fitting. He said the finish is nice on the wheels, did Romax refurb them?

Looks mega mate.

3 weeks away and ive not driven the Extra yet/still out the country until next weekend. Still got brakes/geo and anything else to repair. Mot runs out day after csf so that can maybe wait. Best pull my finger out😆

When you on track at CSF? Pm?

F4r771 megane engine runs cop albeit different top inlet to 172/182. I could be wrong but id imagine coil dwell time settings might also need changing to suit the 197 coils in the ecu map.

There certainly is low speed and high speed for fan, low speed on with ac. High speed comes on at 99degrees. I dont think you will have an issue with it but here are the diagnostics from the manual.

You mean throttle body as no maf on 172? Sounds pretty normal for ign on and pushing the throttle from memory. Try it with engine running.

Yes should kick in low speed with ac on.

The fan is pretty quiet on them, i only heard mine kick in when next to walls i.e. mcds drive through. Id expect overheating issues if you have sat in traffic and its not working. Can test it with can clip if you want to be sure. Alternatively monitor cooling temp on obd and fan should cut in...

Can do it no problem. Ill bring it with me remind me on (y) Ill bring Rstuner and renolink too incase anybody needs datalogging.
