Small update, Checked glow plugs today, to see if they were any good, as this fault kept flagging up on clip. Simple resistance check, number 1 was open circuit, the rest around 15ohms from memory. Because budget project/tight northener/pikey ? just stuck one glow plug in. I have changed tons...

Csf prep done, Started off by adjusting the rear shoes, they needed minor adjustment after a full day at Croft. This needs a disc upgrade on the back really, but works OK for now. Adjusting the rear compensator to original settings last year made a massive difference to wear. Fresh RBF600...

The cat was removed before i bought it, so no idea if any hp increase. It makes quite a difference to noise levels though.

My kangoo 172 is on stock ecu, decat and most of the time with no warning light whatsoever. Had it on twice in last 10k, fitted a 90deg lambda spacer and not seen it on since. It will have faults stored in the ecu when scanned with clip, but not enough to trigger the light.

Knackered key?

Theres 2 approaches i tend to do on this One is deox gel, if any rust pitting left bosh some hydrate 80 on to convert, zinc primer on converted metal, paint of choice and it will slow the corrosion down and get a few years out of it. Its relatively easy and fast to do. 2nd approach is the long...

Tackle it yourself if no welding needed, get a load of Bilt hamber products on. Most bodyshops will only flash it over with the d/a and chuck some rust convertor on and it will return quite fast

Cheers mate, its a good old motor. Glad i pulled my finger out and got it road legal again, as too easy to forget about it in the garage. Cheers mate (y) If i had to sell all of them and keep one, i would have no idea which one to keep, as all totally different to drive, and enjoyable in...

Cheers mate, i quite enjoy driving it, it corners great on the eibachs and pilotsports which makes the commute decent. Its no flyer, but makes up for that economy wise, and lack of speed has prob saved my licence :LOL:

I might be interested in some of them @Ant1 , what you after for them ?

The vibrations will settle down after some use mate, mine was terrible initially even with dampener but rode it out and hardly any now. They are mega when pressing on, one of the best mods i have done to mine. Id have one in my daily dci if they were cheaper

Looks well mate (y) how do you find the PMS ? Still love mine

Cant wait to get it done, purely for more room in the back. Keep looking at wheels for it, the plan was discreet but i think thats going out of the window :LOL:

Cheers mate, the boot tray is oem Renault, i believe its quite rare. Bought it off gumtree for £5 lol.

5 mm is too thick, 2-3mm max or the frame will not sit flush to the roof.

I used double sided glazing tape on mine, possibly 2mm thick from memory. Worked grand, no issues since.

Update, Orange dci is running great touch wood, been doing loads of miles in it 500+ some weeks. 64mpg everywhere, quick reckon up and £200 profit on fuel this month which all goes back in the kitty for wear and tear & for when that expensive repair is needed. Give it a wash last night as...

Also got the mrs 225 ph1 back on the road a couple of weeks ago. So if you wonder why its been raining constantly for the last two weeks its because we have got the two garage queens legal again:LOL: just stuck it in for mot and it passed no bother. Changed shocks all round for new o.e cup/r26...

Done a couple of jobs i have been putting off for years too, for no reason apart from being lazy. O.e rear speakers were totally past their best, so stuck in some pioneer replacements that i bought at least 5 years ago ! Ten min job that i never got round to. O.e cone split Also the seatbelt...

Late update, Give the gtt a clean up for Retro Show at Santa Pod on the Sunday. Had some Angelwax products in stock, so 2 bucket wash, prepped and a coat of aw desirable wax. Came up nice, cleaned and dressed interior trims, basically got as much done as i could in 4 hours as time was tight...

I dont think most mot testers will like the zip tie and tape, see what they say i guess.

What code reader are you using ? Generic obd scanners dont usually show much

Not keen on the zip tied flexi hoses mate, id go back to standard hoses that fit properly. I too had issues with braided flexis catching the strut on full lock on the Kangoo, decided not to use them in the end and stayed stock.

Get clip on it faults will be stored. At a guess its throttle body or wiring to it

Twingo turinis are 15” but only 6j from memory

Agreed heavy as feck, on the plus side seem fairly indestructible on our pot hole ridden roads !

Looks great, the recaros are a great upgrade too.

Good choice of tyres too, and not sure if placebo but acceleration seems slightly better

Cheaper tyres.

From memory, one piece is something daft like 2000calories. Impossible to do in one sitting :LOL:
