Quick win High level brake light had a chunk missing out of the corner. Ive been looking for a replacement for a while but not easy to find as it has a washer jet fitted for rear wiper and most panel vans do not have it, and couldnt be arsed spending £50 on a new one. Anyway a used one turned...

1.4 keyset wont work as immobiliser wont be matched to 197 ecu. You would need a full 197 setup off the same car, ecu, uch, key, steering lock as all coded together. Best bet is to get the steering lock fixed and coded

Paslode for nail guns. Hire one for a one off job, also depending on what your using it for you will need to pick 1st or 2nd fix gun.

Updates, not moved much as been mega busy but had the occasional run out. No issues to report running great Bought another set of compomotive centre caps to have in stock for when another one goes awol Give it a good clean up and a coating of Gtecnhiq c2v3, AG trim gel on the bumpers. Need to...

Jack with a 4" pad is best they never move or if it does move slightly then it aint slipping off the rail, the lugs on the edges of the pad stop it from going too far. The diy jacks with 2" jack point are terrible for moving. Best thing i done was investing in a proper trade spec low profile jack.

Chassis rail is always the best place to jack it up with a proper low profile jack.

Check the spring cups arent paper thin. Prob due a new set if they are originals to be fair.

Ive just got some discs from Autodoc. Same 2-3 week wait, its the slow boat for the money saved sadly.

Oil pressure sender is in stock location. Ive just checked the hoses and the i.d is 12mm (an8) wonder if thats the issue.

100psi under load when hot is epic. Be good for 10000rpm that😆

Itll be uch issues. Send it away for repair to dieselspecialist in ebay, cheap and fast.

First of all need some details of what car has the issues

Ive been thinking and your right, any restriction will increase pressure. Additional volume of oil needing to be moved and pump cant handle the demand maybe, oil cooler not that restrictive so not helping things. Do wonder if pressure drop like this without logging has caused a few bottom ends...

Done a bit of digging and it does seem to be an issue with many cars with aftermarket oil coolers fitted. I guess a lot of people fit them and do not even check pressure assuming all is good. Its got to be down to the length of the lines or the 90deg fittings. On other setups ive fitted the oil...

Looking at the datalogs for before and after its down by 0.2bar after fitting oil cooler on initial startup. Im swinging towards lines restrictive/length of lines at the moment causing the pressure drop. Im going to log oil temps to see if it needs a cooler for street use, as when driving last...

I did indeed, i primed up the oil system before starting which fills the cooler as it bypasses the stat slightly. Took approx 1ltr more oil than usual to get to the max, and checked again after running up. Ive fitted a few mocal kits to other/shitter engines and not had this issue before so bit...

I have the full 3x boxes. Its a good bit of kit for the price, cant fault mine

Evening all. Installed a mocal oil cooler kit to a megane r26 F4R today which caused oil pressure drop. Pre oil cooler fitting with oil temp around 80deg, it was doing around 1.5bar on idle, 3.5k rpm 4bar, poss slightly more with more rpm, engine sounds fine so assume its all good where it...

2nd shed for tools. Plenty of room by the looks of it

Sort the shed out and get a toolbox of some description. Small box to carry your gear about.

Turn the uj until it slots over the rack, its easy enough to do with everything in situ. Have you pulled the column when removing?

Efi can virgin the ecu, will be plug and play.

Pcv actually looks very similar to the clio diesel one. They block up easily in the dervs so defo worth cleaning. Carefully pop it apart with a small screwdriver.

Looks about right in the pic. Check the spade connectors in fusebox for corrosion.

Its the middle one of the small 3 in the underbonnet fusebox iirc. Can see the white exciter wire going into it at the bottom

They will most likely have virgined the ecu or fitted an emulator inside. You could try and connect the can lines to an obd port and see if a scanner will delete any codes stored, if thats the case the ecu is unlocked, if it wont let you delete codes its locked. Id definitely get it gone for...

How has the ecu been de immobilised? Emulator? Has it run before?

Uch needs repair. Send it off to dieselspecialist on ebay, its cheap and he does a decent job.

Car year model and make would help. If clio2, the uch needs repairing.

Avoid the cheap ratchet tools off ebay if crimping insulated terminals. Had a few, all pretty shite.
