Eliminates chances of fluid leaks which is a big plus point when it comes to track days and motorsport Frees up space in engine bay and allows subframe to be dropped without the worry of hoses restricting you For me it was the ease of maintenance that made me go for epas Resistance can be...

If the misfire is currently present then easiest way is to unplug each injector to see if it has any effect on the engine, if no change then theres your faulty one

Surely the whole idea is to do away with jacking each corner individually and not to do away with axle stands? Costco have these in stock for around £700, cant remember if thats with or without vat If you have the space and paying £1200+ I woukd be going for a proper scissor lift

Have you access to a volt meter? Check battery voltage when engine is running, should see 13 odd volts if alternator is charging correctly If you want to eliminate a bad earth, take a jump lead from negative terminal to a solid point such as engine lifting hook or similar. Does sound as if its...

Agency transmissions is another which people send boxes to iirc

There is someone out Turriff way but think its an older guy, just seen him mentioned on forums before. Not the best to get hold of apparently Think most gearbox builds up this way end up getting sent away. Will you be removing box yourself or having a garage carry out the work?

Castrol fairly seem to have the market now when it comes to oem. Must be a big loss for elf as they seemes to have dropped out of the spotlight apart from the renaultsport world

Had a good look around it on friday at the show, interior full of sabelt and rs branding. Particularly liked the door pulls Got them to pop the bonnet but nothing fascinating to look at there

Older discovery like you say or a shogun sport, problem is finding a good looked after one that isnt going to cost you the earth on repairs. Audi / skoda estates also and avoid the 4x4 running costs. Depends how often the tow car would be used? Is it completely out the question to drive to...

Did you get the battery charged up or is it still dead or are you still jumping it?

Just going by comments from MSA Scrutineers at events when they have asked competitors to change For the inner anchor point use an eye bolt and a spreader plate mounted below the car Outer point, use the bolt and threaded hole that was used for the lower seatbelt mount and a Schroth B23A eyelet...

It isn't advised to bolt harnesses to a subframe, I know it is done by others. Its preferable to have the seatbelt anchor point seperate from the subframe. In the unfortunate event anything happens to the subframe bolts, least your not going with it. Also best to use penny washers for the cap...

Dont need to touch the aux tensioner. Fairly straight forward, few hidden bolts at the left hand side round about the engine mount area. Just make sure you've got them all before trying to pry it off

Looks to be full pedal assembly including the brake servo and master cylinder. Havent seen one removed before so cant comment if it is definately a ph2 172 item. It is upside down in the photo though 😂

Not sure if such a thing exists? Could get a solar panel charger for the one outside and have a mains one inside? I use a ctek one myself, just use it every so often to top up the battery as I run an isolator so there isnt a constant drain on it

Gaz seem to be a popular choice among the many clios I have raced alongside in the scottish sprint and hillclimb championship I ended up going KW as a set came up for sale 2nd hand, before that I was tempted with BC racing coilovers

Cup lower arms will give you some more caster, although I think Renault have now defaulted to all lower arms now being cup spec whereas before they used to have two different part numbers

Interior, ICE, electrical

Stubby didnt work well for me so ditched it after 5 mins Still got it if anyones looking for one. Its a OEM VW one.

I done away with the fuse and used a junction box to join that two leads you see there to my positive cable fed through the bulkheas frkm my relocated battery You can use one from an e36 bmw iirc or any others online such as this style...

Im sure if they were as harmful or useless as everyone makes them out to be then nobody would use them and companies would collapse as quick as an unflushed engine :ROFLMAO: Probably wasted £10 a year on worse things

Alot of the flush products have came a long way since years ago and there was the fear of fkuah getting into bearings and then preventing oil from getting in I used to use forte treatments myself, moved ontl fueltone now and so has alot of other mechanics that I know who used to use forte

New proposals to the tyres is causing some confusion and needs cleared up. If going with any eu marked tyre then does this render the tyre lists pointless. Be interesting to see the outcome of all this, will be clear as mud as usual and down to everyones interpretion

Sorry cant help on that one Just seen on facebook that all changes were scrapped due to the volume of emails they received but I wouldn't take that as gospel! Big thing was they were relaxing the original block rule in modified class which then introduces engine swaps into that class. Alot of...

Link to the proposals here : https://www.motorsportuk.org/assets/actionsheetforconsultation-shc-finalv2.pdf Closing date for consultation has passed, unsure when it will be announced what is going ahead and what is axed

Yeah, under current regs you cannot replace components for rose jointed / metal replacements. Cant remember the exact wording. There was a few guys pulled for it in the scottish sprint and hillclimb championship along with solid top mounts. They were checking the whole of the class specifically...

Hold off on the roll centre kit, under current regs its not allowed however if all the new proposals go through then it will be allowed. With regards to the rarb, never get any hassle in scotland for having them in road going class As said with pads, standard rears and mintex / ferrodo pad on...

Im £150 a year for my cup as part of my multicar policy with aviva, 1000miles per year

The small ones that go from car to axle or the ones that run along the axle to the caliper? If its the short ones I have two new proline ones sitting here, cant post for a few weeks though

Maybe changed then or depends on whos working. Always worth a try anyway! I found the same with the case, everything else outlived it. I found the plastic hinge at the back went eventually and split completely then I just decanted it into my toolbox
