Good cars, engines are bulletproof. My x had one that had been a taxi, had 300thou on the clock and still run mint. Rest of the car was fucked lol.

No worries at all mate (y) just collar me at some point as ill most likely be doing the rounds talking to everybody haha. Looking forward to Blyton, its looking like it will be the last trackday for the Kangoo before it goes to the new owner.

Mine pops a bit on overrun on stock map, however its got no cat & single silencer system. Get the occasional bang on the high rpm upshifts when its hot.

Check the steering column is not worn out, they have a bush like the old valvers used to that can wear, somebody had the same issue a while ago

Ill bring my laptop & clip mate?

To be fair, they sound good as stock. I went out in one many years ago, loved it

Do it, the v10 sounds great with less silencing

Its knackered, change it.

They do have a hissy fit when parked up. The temec broke on ours when it had not been out, the garage for 6 month, first night out and the window fecking sticks down !

Temec module is knackered. Happened to me recently, double locked on total closure and window went down instead of up! Would not go up, had to strip the doorcard off and wedge glass up. No corrosion in the wiring plugs or nothing, module just broken.

Love it, colour looks awesome

Picked up a Snes cheap and local lastnight off fb. Starwing is s**t, cant even remember it tbh haha ! Bought a few cheap games off ebay, streetfighter 2 etc. Reliving my youth :LOL:

High leakoff can cause a non start, this always starts but takes a couple more cranks from cold. Ive noticed 2/3 clicks of the ign before crank and it fires up fine, so may be a glow plug or 3 off. Ill do them and get this code off and go from there.

I can imagine no control of the boost pressure at all when cranking it up with that pissy little hole behind the w/g penny. Still quite a way to go until the lower end ching stuff compares to garrett. The mamba stuff looks ok, but not cheap !

Quick update Blue dci had a black mirror on the N/S, ordered a cheap 2nd hand replacement off ebay. Bit dissapointed as they sent a shite one which clearly was not the one pictured as has no external temp sensor in and cracked. I never expect brand new when buying used parts, but some places...

Quick update Washed Kangoo after Croft to get the shite off, jacked up and give it a once over, no issues to report. Changed brake pads over to ds2500 for road use, as the mintex are terrible from cold so not suited to road use. Feel like blocks of wood lol. Mintex m1177 look like they have...

Cheers mate, Its been cavity waxed by previous owner and had some coating sprayed underneath. I removed a bit of it and painted a few areas with Por15 a few years ago, needs topping up now though. Ill probably use Dintrinol this time, will keep you updated. If somebody can hook me up with an...

Indeed, some must be decent quality its just a gamble which one. I know a few people who have made loads of power on ching spec turbos on the hondas, treated them as disposable as so cheap compared to a garrett or similar.

The colour would suit a sport well. I may do it to this one eventually will see ! Should really grab a full kit whilst they are ten a penny and get it in stock.

Its took a bit of graft but shes a Renault hoarder now. Wont let me have a beavertail recovery truck though still working on that :cautious::LOL:

Id bet my bottom dollar most of the clio turbo conversions use the ching spec cast manifold, rebranded as theirs at a fair markup. Same with the turbos, i cant believe a lot of the low boost conversions use cheap no brand turbos. Just check the faces are true and linish as necessary, ive seen...

Last one i done for a quick tart up lasted about 2 month, never again bodyshop do it from now on lol.

As a temp repair that will tidy it up, but without cutting the rust out fully and letting new clean metal in, i can pretty much guarantee that will be bubbling in 6 month. Been there and done that in my youth :LOL:

Bargain if not knock off copys

Id say 99% of them leave a drop of oil without a sump guard on. Box out and strip down to repair sadly

As weather was still dry, went for a blast over to Whitby. No issues to report, just blasting along with the tape player blasting the oldskool out. Great little car, need to make more effort to get it out and used ! Thanks for reading !

Next stop mot station Still looks clean underneath for a 28year old car, need to give the powdercoated bits a wipe down but apart from that no work required Passed no issues at all, 25 miles since its last mot September 2017 ! Taxed straight after mot, weather had dried up too. Needed to give...

Washed the dust off before mot, BH auto foam, followed by 2 bucket wash, and dried. Gtt looks so small compared to the rest of the cars ! Typically 5 mins after drying it pissed down, just before i was about to set off. Good beadage though. First time its been out in the rain in years.

Got up early today and started work on the gtt. First job was to flush the coolant. It still looked nice and green but noticed a bit of sedament in header tank, flushed full system with hosepipe, rad and heater matrix thoroughly. s**t that came out when back flushing ! Refilled with fresh...

It wont cause any issues binning it, but worth having on a road car to silence the agricultural sound of the f4r
