Yes usually nitrogen and a small amount of refrigerant. Nitrogen is dry, any moisture could potentially cause sludge mixing with the oil.

Compressed air is not usually dry enough, will introduce water into the system.

Compressor can also leak. Get an ac specialist to put some leak dye/nitrogen in to leak test

Yep compressor wont cut in unless pressured up.

Absolutely the right answer

Wfh today. Vehicle cleaning time in prep

Just had a reckon up on journey time and 4h20 for me. Depending on traffic prob be 6 hours with stops. Bring on the noise from the side exit exhaust on the tunnels on the a55.

Rideheight a bit low maybe? I run mine on stock top mounts and doesnt knock. I assume internal bumpstop with the monotube design. Used to get similar knocking on the saxos with monotube bilsteins years ago when too low/run out of travel.

Decent power for 95 octane.

Apparantly the MMT in the octane booster does it. First time i had one out to see the evidence. Smoke machine is mega wish i had invested years ago. I used to pressure the boost circuit up but still difficult to pinpoint small leaks. Can see the smoke straight away.

Knock one of these up. Will fly off.

Sat updates. Treated it to a new set of plugs as not changed them for years. Old ones were still around 0.7mm gap when checked so wasnt really necessary but at £3 a plug for ngk bcr8es its not hurting. Brown tinge from MMT in VP racing octanium octane booster i have used in the past. Next on...

Updates. Technomagnesio alloys with fresh Ar1's are on. Quick run out to check all good. Driveway congestion. Massive improvement in turn in. Also massive downgrade in comfort and noise as per usual for semi slicks. Quick wash, fuel up and csf here we come. Thanks for reading!!

Use the box section as pictured here and axle stand next to jack. Its solid and a proper low profile jack will reach it no problem on a lowered clio.

Axle stands over ramps all day long. Way too much aggro getting a lowered car onto ramps and then usually in the way. Best thing you can do is buy a low profile jack with 100mm plate. Safe and can get to the chassis rail underneath so no need to wreck the sill.

They sorted themselves out after drying suprisingly. Work good now and retract properly.

Extra van is about ready. R26 just needs fuel and good to go

Cheers mate. Cars all over!! :LOL: Mrs is currently cleaning the 250 interior, its absolutely unmarked with yellow dot recaros, rs monitor, dual climate etc. Previous owner said he had never used the boot and it looks like it too as the rear trim doesnt have a mark on it. Its loads quicker...

Updates Heatwave so decide to sort the brakes out on the Extra for CSF. Give the front brake pipe a quick squirt with plusgas and cracked straight off with my new ching spec ratchet spanner. Works suprisingly well for a cheapo. Calipers, discs and pafs off and cleaned hubs up to get any...

Updates Done 470mile road trip to Norwich in the r26 on Sunday to view another car. Brimmed with momentum 99 Crap services on A1 Sneak preview of the new addition. Another meg 250 cup.Was too good to turn down so the mrs bought it. Hers and his yellow megs. R26 is really good on fuel for a...

As above change the pedal. Had same issue i grabbed the pedal, wiggled it a bit side to side and it seemed to work a bit longer before light on again

The floor is mega thin, any half decent hss drill bit will do.

Buy another set of used oem and get them cleaned up and bushes changed over to save downtime. Sell yours to get some money back.

Used properly, love it.

Can fueltech support dbw control? If not your options are use clio 172 ph1 cable throttle or modify the later ph2 to take a suitable cable throttle.

Airbnb for the win. Praying for dry, as its semi slicks on both vehicles..

Updates. Thought i best pull my finger out and do a bit to the Extra with Anglesey/CSF only a matter of weeks away. It has been pissing down with rain all day which put me off doing anything, but with time ticking it needed road testing to check the clio dci steering rack was ok and geo/toe...

Could even use silver heat reflective self adhesive tape, if you can get it on decent.

Rusty rear arch, high mileage and no mention of belts etc. Prob only worth 2k.

Clean up, rust converter and chrome spray or even silver paint will make a massive difference to current fogs until you find a solution. Failing that put some cibie covers over the top
