Hard to find a good mk2 dci with sensible miles on now. I viewed a flamer dci80 off facebook market place the other day for a mate, looked great in the pics but absolute scrap in reality, bonnet was so rotten inside the latch had almost fallen off! Was a shame really as it only had 80k on the...

Prob injector, worth boshing in a full set if one is at fault. Also the leads can go pete tong, so worth sticking a fresh set of oem beru leads on.

Check the small exciter wire is connected up to the alternator, as they can break resulting in no battery light/charge. if the wiring checks out ok, assume alternator is dead

Drop kick that generic obd reader into the bin, that code is nothing to do with the 172 gearbox

Had a few spare hours yesterday, so painted up a few more parts and fitted. Coming together slowly, and might see it back in the hole soon:oops:

Bog standard m8 bolt, drill it out

Its a great place to go for a petrolhead, get a trip booked up for next year. Hell of a drive to Dover or Kent from Scotland, go via newcastle overnight ferry to Amsterdam, its class on a weekend in the nightclub on the ferry

All the cars i see running stock belts with buckets look well dodgy to be fair, to do it right id be using a harness.

Last time we went in the meg, it worked out cheaper going on the overnight ferry from Newcastle as need 4-5 tanks of fuel to go via eurotunnel lol.

Had a couple of hours spare on Monday, so made a little bit of progress, head on and torqued up. Slow progress is better than none i guess. Treated myself to a new Aem X series afr gauge to replace my old innovate Lc-1.

Well deserved clean for both dci's. Roll on the next road trip !! Thanks for reading

Day 4 Sunday, wake up to a fresh Adenau, first dusting of snow overnight, and hard frost -3deg at 9am. -3 cold start no bother at all. Quick stop at the complex on the way back, Suns out but its mega cold, and track is closed due to ice. Weather picks up through France to around 12deg mid day...

Walked some of the Steak off Walk back to the Pistenklaus for more Bitburgers as it was getting a bit chilly;) Day 3 (Sat), wake up fresh "Bit(burger) in the evening, Fit in the morning" nice weather 8deg. Reverse rally was on so watched that, spotted a R5gte Nurburgring castle Quick blast...

Epic road trip in the orange dci last weekend. Day 1 Thursday Started with brimming the tank with posh Vpower diesel in prep for the trip, range of 722 miles. First stop in Kent for a nice airBnB we had booked right near the eurotunnel. s**t drive down in the rain, but nice place made up for...

Most likely wrong length or poor recon. I have had many a poor recon driveshaft before sadly.

Good shout, ill whip it off at the weekend and pop another o ring on. I struggled to get the fitting to move down the pipe when i had it off, might have to clean the pipe up a little bit.

Looks epic, great save

Had a few hours on my Extra van engine. I done a lot of measuring with the dti gauge, and wrote off the cam that was fitted as a bad grind. Took it out and launched it out the garage door, and fitted a cat cams 260 duration. After the recent carry on, checked the piston to valve clearance with...

Cheers mate :giggle:It drives epic now, i wish id pulled my finger out and got it sorted before the bad weather, but at least its good to go for the new year.

Orange dci has had some loving too. First of all, the drivers door had a big bit of cracked filler on the edge due to previous repair years ago. Been looking for another door for ages, but as most of the pov spec clios are hammered now nothing had come up worth buying, and getting the door...

Quick update (not many pics been slacking sadly) Blue dci has had a few repairs. Uch started clicking like mad, ignored it for a few weeks, until one day the wipers went off in the pissing down rain and lights went off at night. That was a bit much so sent it away to Tachosoft via ebay. rebuilt...

Just tape on both of mine, its double glazing tape. I cant recall the thickness off the top of my head, it was what i used to use 15 years ago when i made timber double glazed windows up. Sticks like s**t to a blanket, done the orange clio 4 years ago and its still all good.

Good to see its still grafting. My orange dci is catching yours up on the miles 150k now😁

Epic updates as usual mate (y) I would swerve the Ns-2R, not a touch on the Yoko Ad08R. Wet grip is terrible on them, and dry not much better, they do nothing in the cold damp conditions, as i found out when the back end let go and sent me into the armco a couple of years ago.

Its been a while since last update, but things have been ticking over nicely in the background. Blue megane was booked in for mapping last Sat at Efi Parts in Runcorn. Good clean up on Fri afternoon as not been washed for ages, typically pissed down all day Sat. Brimmed with Tesco 99 and sat...

Clean it up before it develops (y)

Good to hear its sorted(y)

Pms is the one to have, proper motorsport setup.

Decent progress. Is that a Kangoo sport in the background ?
