The snap on spanners are mega. I need to invest in a set, as the open end actually works instead of slipping.

Look spot on, i guess its the same colour anthracite they used years ago. I had a few sets done by them in the mid - late 2000's when Rob owned it and was always a good finish. I have a set that need doing again soon so will give them a go again, had them done by motorcool and powdercoat...

Good to hear tyres are all sorted mate, Woody always does a great job of fitting. He said the finish is nice on the wheels, did Romax refurb them?

Looks mega mate.

3 weeks away and ive not driven the Extra yet/still out the country until next weekend. Still got brakes/geo and anything else to repair. Mot runs out day after csf so that can maybe wait. Best pull my finger out😆

When you on track at CSF? Pm?

F4r771 megane engine runs cop albeit different top inlet to 172/182. I could be wrong but id imagine coil dwell time settings might also need changing to suit the 197 coils in the ecu map.

There certainly is low speed and high speed for fan, low speed on with ac. High speed comes on at 99degrees. I dont think you will have an issue with it but here are the diagnostics from the manual.

You mean throttle body as no maf on 172? Sounds pretty normal for ign on and pushing the throttle from memory. Try it with engine running.

Yes should kick in low speed with ac on.

The fan is pretty quiet on them, i only heard mine kick in when next to walls i.e. mcds drive through. Id expect overheating issues if you have sat in traffic and its not working. Can test it with can clip if you want to be sure. Alternatively monitor cooling temp on obd and fan should cut in...

Can do it no problem. Ill bring it with me remind me on (y) Ill bring Rstuner and renolink too incase anybody needs datalogging.

Also listened to the vid and sounds normal for ferodo/track pads, especially from cold as not up to optimal temp.

Swap discs and pads side to side.

Forgot to add the billet alloy 250 inlet to r26 throttle body adaptor arrived from Veban Motorsport. Nice bit of kit, ill get it fitted after my hols. Tapered design for good flow and sized correctly to match both opening sizes. Thanks for reading!!

Im not keen on the adaptors, caliper might be slightly off centre causing the pads to not hit the disc perfectly square. Id go for a proper setup like pms personally.

Fair play i forget now, whos was it again?

Updates. Fitted a pair of carbon rear arch protectors from Mega Carbon. They kindly done a set as a one off for me as they aren't producing parts at the moment. Quality is mega and a very good fit. Bonded on. Also give it a wash with the rest as the birds had pebbledashed it and the front...

Updates. Wash day for both Dci's. Orange was pretty clean but blue van was in a state so well overdue. Washy. Blue van also had interior clean as well. Also treated the blue dci to a set of new Alpine speakers for the front to replace the crackly 187k originals. Simple plug and play install...

I dont think i could find a cheaper car to run to be fair. Its been mega bangernomics.

Mick was using it daily from memory. No idea whats gone on with it since he sold it as was years ago.

Quick wash today for the Kangoo. Wheels were black with brake dust. Clean. Pissed down as soon as id finished :LOL: Thanks for reading!!

Should be able to get in touch with him on Facebook mate.

Updates. Fresh Nankang Ar-1 fitted to my spare set of cup steels. One of the wheels was marked spare on the inside possibly from its cup racer days. Neww tyre day is the best day. I was going to get them refurbed but i think the ratty look will suit the van and be more discreet than shiny...

Welcome mate. @Mickb Built your van ages ago. :LOL: my bank balance hates the vans

Update. Ordered Ferodo Ds1.11 from Oreca on Monday, arrived today. Quick for overseas, every time ive used them its 4-5days from order. Only place that list them for sale/in stock for gtt too. Feel a bit arse raped over the price + import tax but cant put a price on good brakes i guess.. Neww...

Id just run it if the caliper is not sticking, and no other issues i.e caliper hitting disc or duff wheel bearing causing disc to move. Get some pad material onto your discs and go from there.

Id give them a bleed and let them settle in. When you say right hand side i assume you mean o/s/drivers side. This caliper always works harder than the passenger for whatever reason, i always see more brake dust on the o/s front on both of my diesel clio's with calipers working as intended.

Oldskool method, little chamfer on the edge of the pad to stop squeal. I do this to cheap stock pads on the povo spec clios.

If the brake pedal is decent then assume its bled up right, always bleed outer nipple first then inner. Sometimes the 4 pots take a few goes but the pedal is crap. Bed the pads in properly and go from there. My trophy wilwoods were doing all sorts of crazy s**t when i fitted new ds1.11 and...
