Good jacks the halfords advanced. The alloy 2t one also weighs loads for what it is. Loads safer than the small hobby jacks though.

If the new plug torques up ok should be fine. Usually come loose due to not torqued correctly.

Febi bilstein type d is exactly the same as oem green, premixed. You can still use premixed if its been filled with water, just drain system, i usually take a hose off and blow through header tank.

Might be wiring. Check all connections and check the starter exciter wire is giving a good 12v in the crank position.

Done well there. I tried that and the brittle plastic just started disintegrating :LOL:

Scan it with can clip to save guessing, it gives proper df codes compared to the generic readers.

Dipstick tube out and knock it out. Had to do same on my dci recently.

K9k 1.5dci. Engine has had a bit of work, new piston rings at 143. Fuel system has had work before asminjectors not original, possibly original high pressure diesel pump though.

Not doing mega mileage at the moment but its going up. Slightly higher than pic just under 198k.

Weekend update. Bit of nice weather for a change so its been on daily driver duties. Nice using something fast after diesel all week. Little & large. South gare with the rc car. Rear wheelbearing not done yet, its only slightly noisy so not in the danger zone. I might need to remove abs ring...

Swan neck spanner and high power impact driver.

Wouldnt do lower inlet manifold gasket myself unless necessary. Have to disturb fuel line and injectors etc, potential for breakages. You could probably get away with removing top half of plenum and reuse original gaskets. I removed and refitted mine several times without replacing.

Updates. Not a massive lot to update to be fair! Been using it a bit including a run to lincoln 280 ish miles. Great on fuel for 2.0t when driving steady high 30s mpg are easily achievable. Been monitoring coolant level and has not budged since waterpump change so all good. GIve it a quick...

Cheers mate. The steelies on your old track car looked good and it relit the fire to find a nice set. Fits in with the van look 😁

Im a bit of a parts hoarder but pays off sometimes. Lockup needs a big clearout can barely get in:LOL:

Updates. Blue clio back in daily use. Its been running great, no starting issues and none of the low idle carry on, 100% confident that its sorted. A few posts back i touched upon spinning the egr to essentially blank it off whilst eliminating things causing low idle. You can only get one bolt...

Very lucky mate. Stainless sensor in mild steel was not the best combo but was shocked when it recut the thread after some working forwards and backwards.

Black water/moisture out of the exhaust is normal when engine is cold, its just condensation.

It will run ok with the post cat lambda like that, i ran a lambda cheater on mine to basically restrict the gasflow to nothing with decat to try and keep the eml off on stock map. Without remap it will log a fault but doesnt affect performance. Most get it mapped out with a remap/decat.

Id imagine its 8mm same as megane.

Replace the short flexible section with high pressure fuel hose, cut it off the fuel rail connector carefully and same at the other end. Use cohline 2240 R9 spec and proper fuel hose clamps. Dont use cheap fuel hose or you will be doing it again next year.

Bin the struts. Not worth repairing.

You will need to stick a new bearing in as current one will fall to pieces when removing the hub flange.

Updates. Blue dci is running again. Plugged in the new fuel rail pressure sensor which cleared the df127 and live data showed correct readings with engine off. Also ac pressure registers 3.5bar again now the sensor is receiving correct voltage. Changing the rail sensor looked to be easy and i...

Ns2r are horrendous especiallyin the wet, avoid them mate.

It wont work in that case. You would be better off with a proper standalone ecu and fit wheel speed sensors for proper launch control.

You will need a speed sensor for it to work. I believe its very basic, lowering the idle rev limit.

Looks decent, how much did you give for it? I was offered a 14reg one in ly for £4500 a couple of weeks ago. Was tidy too.

Seen this pop up for sale a few times and always thought it looked decent. In for updates. Dont worry about running no dumpvalve, they do nothing apart from make noise and leak. None of my cars have one on.

Cheers @Une_Baguette thats a good help. I was just winging it the other night and disconnecting things on a whim. Didnt even consider throttle pedal! Did see fault change when rail sensor was unplugged so poss that. Currently been dying from man flu for a couple of days so not looked at it yet...
