Its fairly straightforward, you will need to add all the wiring though as the loom is very basic in the extreme. Doing it to mine soon got almost all the parts in stock.
No Kangoo updates however have been working on my Extra van, a few of you may remember it from when ive had it on track at the CS festivals a couple of years back.
To cut a long story short the engine was getting a little bit tired a couple of years ago so took it off the road. Started...
The colour is Malaga orange, code is Ted33, its a different shade compared to inferno. Mine is the same model extreme3. Extremely povo spec as stock no rear speaker wiring, no external temp etc.
I have sport front grill in mine, xenons, retrofitted a couple of electronic bits - external temp...
Great engine when looked after, mine is on 142k and doesnt really use any oil. Avoid anything that wont start, chucking out blue smoke or mega mileage/unloved and you will be fine. Most mk2’s are astronomical mileage now so choose carefully, most people do not service them or nowt as just a...
Still really want to do the conversion. Gather some parts next year?
Dci straight through mot today, mot tester always comments on how clean it is, clean bill of health no advisories.
Looks great. I still have a soft spot for these and 106 gti's.
My x had a gti 10+ years ago, i lowered it on springs up front & done torsion bar. Had mega fun it it blasting around the local b roads. One day it started tapping on top end after a good blast out, checked oil and nothing in it...
Matched ecu/uch & key ? If so it should be fine just bosh it in. If needs be reconfig the settings on the the uch with clip to remove warning lights etc.
Kangoo makes a good daily when its not broken, which seems to be fairly often lately? get my other van back up and running first then ill probably do it. The plan is to get some decent derv power then trip to the Nurburgring in it. Might even go next year with the 1.5 in for the crack.
They have some kind of sealant holding the lense to the case. I cant remember what i used to reseal them back on, whatever clear silicone was in the gun at the time. Worked fine still on my dci now
Handling is great its good on the back roads. Needs better springs really as on apex spinebreakers at the moment. Torque far better than any small engined petrol clio, with a bit of pedalling it can go pretty well?
The 1.9dti is out of the laguna. Quite a big job to fit as it uses the ndo 6...
I regret not buying a williams when the prices were rock bottom. Always liked the look of them but at the time i wasnt interested as no turbo ! How times change lol.
Im sure the downpipe was a ktec 2.25" with bored out elbow. It was on my Extra van years ago ran 235hp on it and 12sec qtr ? still small by todays standards though !
I was lucky and picked my H reg gtt up for £1800 ten years ago when prices were rock bottom like the current 172 prices. Bought a load of new oem bits for it and done a light restore. Prices have went supersonic now ! A couple of pics with the gtt above?
Mine is 65hp its pretty povo spec. Its no flyer but fairly nippy compared to the small petrol engined clio's. It will sit at 70mph all day on the motorways but if 80 or higher feels like your flogging it. Good mpg though 65mpg @70mph all day long.
100hp is the best one to have. Ive planned on...
A few updates
Been a bit neglected recently as loads on. A few weeks back a front wheel bearing started making mega noise so has not really moved for past few weeks. All the other cars are sorn for winter and with only the Kangoo on the road (or off when it breaks ?) and mot runs out soon...
Shes pretty much done until the new year & weather starts picking up. Everything working for the first time in years ! Will be fantastic once finished.
