Clubsport look with gear gaitor fitted So get it all back together early afternoon today. I needed to pop to a village a few miles away so take it for a run out. No tools or nothing as i like to live dangerously lol. All goes well and was feeling a blast out so headed over Blakey Ridge and...

Tuesday arrives and alloy plate arrives X marks the spot that needs to be cut Cutting this was not as easy as planned - 20mm is quite thick and grinder was not really touching it so got my mate to chain drill it out. We call his garage BAMS (back alley machine shop) anything goes lol. I would...

Box swap took a bit longer than anticipated ? Got box out fast enough, subframe off. Left steering rack in situ as all the hpas pipes looked like hassle to remove New valeo clutch in - old one was Luk and well worn nearly to the rivets Box back on Jc - 129 fitted to replace the knackered Jc...

It does sound like you will need to start checking wiring. Might be worth scanning with a can clip to see what faults are stored.

Have you knocked the underbonnet fuse box cover next to the battery? If you disturb the small 4 pin relays they do stuff like this. I had the same issue when changing a battery, knocked cover then non start - relay was not fully home.

Yep returnless setup. I wouldnt bother with non return valve as it will prob just fire up then conk out whilst its sorting itself out From reading up about it i believe some maps prime the pump every turn of the key (rstuner ?)

Yep sounds like regulator fault and need to crank to build pressure up when stood, common issue. Fuel pressure reg is fitted in the sender unit. I believe all you can do is buy a new sender and pump complete, have looked for reg on its own but no joy. Mine does it when sat about for a few days.

Might be weak fuel pressure regulator. Click the ign on once and turn off. Click it on again and the the fuel pump will prime, try starting it then and see if it fires straight up.

Do you only have the issue in the morning or does it happen every start ?

Car hoard like me and you wont have a problem like that in the future ?Ive sold a couple of cheap cars in the past, cut up a couple of Renault 11 turbos/gt turbos But they were rotten as pears/crashed so not a massive loss. I used to own a 4x4 saph cossie replica that is still kicking about in...

Box swap day. Steady 45mins and subframe is ready to drop, quick bit of dinner and scan a meg250 with clip then back on with it. Hopefully be running and driving with new gearbox, new clutch & pms shifter in tomorrow ?

Iceberg cup looks in awesome condition. Will be worth decent money in the future

Looks normal to me. The spring will allow some movement

Turn the steering wheel on an angle to undo the torx screws no need to take wheel off.

I wouldnt put atf in a road car however i ran it for at least 5 years in a jb3 no issues and that was with 235hp/220ft/lb and many trackdays. One of my friends ran a jc5 with a quaife lsd fitted - 336hp and that was tracked regular without issue on dextron II. Maybe mechanical sympathy on both...

Bin the resistors and turn the airbags off with clip.

Its very basic just 2 wires straight from the interior clock to the mirror..sensor might be broken or disconnected if no reading. I retrofitted the temp sensor in my dci and my kangoo.

Have you scanned it with clip for fault codes? Is the cam timing correct ?

I have also used dextron II in my Extra van with success, its on jb3 but not a million miles away from jc5. After blowing up a load of gearboxes was recommended it by a drag racer apparantly a lot of the honda lads use it. Shifts were a lot better over 7k rpm when hot and no more damaged...

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323280352422 I have used total gear8 in my dci too dirt cheap from gsf seems decent its gl4 75/80.

Yep have used it in my kangoo for a while without too much hassle. Still you can pick up the proper elf oil for the same price on ebay.

This is the pms linkage for reference.

Looks epic, cant beat a nice clean 172cup. So tempted to get a decent one before the prices go right up.

In for replys. I gently agitated my recaros with a nail brush and slightly dampened the material, it made a difference but they are still no where near as very mucky so need to revisit.

Clip is great for the Renaults mate powerful bit of kit. Clone clip off ebay is quite reasonable to buy too? No worries mate if you need any advice just give me a shout. Its all about sharing the knowledge - ive found loads of info on here its great ? Need to get some more use out of it...

Pms shifter has a cartridge bearing fitted, might be worth seeing if you can fit one instead of a bush.

It will all be due to high ambient temps. Its been the hottest spell we have had in years. Intake temp was something daft like 60deg on idle on the rs monitor in the megane the other day and thats with ac on

Should make a difference if tight fit. I know a couple of people who ground the oem bush down making it tighter on the gt turbos for less slogger.

I wont be doing it for a long time yet, just parts gathering at the mo. There is an option to build the newer shape kangoo with the turbo lump - clio197/200 front suspension - i believe it might go on without too much fuss which would probably be awesome if it worked out. Need to get my Extra...

I dont mind the orange either breaks up the white. I bought the clear bits but just could not be bothered to try them. Maybe in the future if i get really bored lol. Haha im not that big at the mo after massive diet, 13st9 feel like a shadow of my former self?
