If its been in for main dealer service id check whats been done as above have seen some services do not include plugs, or could be incorrectly gapped or just duff.
Id get diagnostics on it and have a look at live data. Itll have logged the misfire as from memory our old 250 cup had misfires...
Misfire isnt usually cured by a good flog out, if anything be careful with turbo cars as a misfire might be hurting it on boost.
Prob a plug or coil on its way. Id guess its still on original plugs at that mileage.
Ceramic coat. Ive had a couple of sets done with gtechniq crystal serum ultra. Trophy is running ds1.11 pads and the wheels have been pitted and they seem to clean up easy enough. Ultimately you still get the fallout off the agressive pads that needs a good fallout remover to shift though.
Valeo, beru, gates, to name a few that supply oem ren parts. Different suppliers for every model, i guess it depended who tendered for the contract to make the part.
Stick a gates belt kit on the Kangoo, or oem, both cheap as chips. Water pump last couple ive used have been cheap brands, seem...

Blue dci went through its mot ok. Mot tester said its clean underneath for a 19 year old car.
Its been getting loads of use recently covering 750 miles in the last 5 days or so. You know the miles are racking up when your filling it twice or three times a month. Work has picked up a...
Ive also fixed a couple of green terminals in the white connectors causing issues before.
Ive noted on the clios that the engine bay fusebox cover is a s**t fit and can allow water in especially if the car is stood for periods of time without use. The one i fixed had water tracking down the...
As Efi said It willmost likely be a corroded/broken wire. I found one going from the white plug to the engine loom internally corroded on one i fixed recently with same issue, wire just snapped when wiggled.

Motivation has been low with this but need to get the ball rolling, engine building season is here now the weather is turning bad.
Started by removing the technomagnesio with the semislicks on as its going to be sat doing nothing for a while. Give them a mega clean up inside and out...
Track was mega busy i had a bm in my blind spot coming into the carussel so didnt drop in as couldnt judge his position. Took the top route which is smooth and i got the power in absolutely seeing him off and exiting before him.
No issues really apart from pulling in the carpark after the lap...
2nd October.
Reims then Nurburgring. Pissing down and R888R not the best combo! Was alright steady away though
Autobahns in the wet. Put my foot down and Extra was misfiring a little on boost i can only think it was the crap 98octane fuel.
Monday 3rd October.
Woke up to a nice dry yet fresh...
Jean Ragnotti was there, so got my Sabelt steering wheel signed by him. Ive met him a few times over the last 20 years or so and hes an absolute gentleman.
He said one more pic and puts his hat on my head. Epic
Parked on the banked circuit for a quick pic on parade laps. This was not even the...

Such a good vibe, one of the best car shows ive been to. Parade laps on the banked circuut was awesome...

With the kangoo currently out of action and the Paris/Nurburgring trip on the cards i needed a vehicle capable of the trip.
Was tempted to take the Trophy but its had its fun on the welsh weekender and the clutch is awful and id like it to be mapped for full power. The Blue meg 225...
Approx how many miles did you do on a set of bearings? I think ill get a pair in stock at that price. Interested in dust boots too, it was something i planned on looking at for mine.
That looks like a bit of threaded bar bodged on which has fained. Take it to a custom exhaust place they will be able to sort it for a few quid, just needs a new hanger welding on
Looks class in white, renault missed a trick not doing them that colour originally.
Regarding asr light, can turn it off with clip if needs be. I disconnected the yaw sensor on the trophy so the asr does not cut in.
