Cheers mate. Been thinking about motorway maintenance chevrons for the back doors😆

Old one out and new one in. Turn ignition on and off a few times to prime it and fire up. Sender ring might be tight, a tool to suit will make life easier when removing/refitting

Cheers all. A few years back i used to go mobile and do loads of work to other peoples cars. The knock on was i used to neglect my own cars and no progress to my own, last min repairs the night before trackdays as hardly any spare time. Ive got another project car ticking over in the background...

Small update Had my eye on a late clio 200 cluster to replace the 197 cluster that i had fitted. The 197 dials did not offend me too much but not too keen on the silver insert. 197 cluster as fitted, not the worst. Replaced with 200 cluster. I believe white rev counter was on the last year...

Updates A few more jobs done Bonnet gaps were on the piss as one of the bonnet rubber stops was missing. Dear from renault new considering what it is, so ordered on ebay from Germany, arrived in 3 days at less than half the price and oem part number on it. Fitted, catch adjusted and loads...

Will be sound that, nice easy solution

Sounds fine as is tbh 8mm id will easily be enough, an6 if your changing all the lines

Any screenshots of the display? Just sounds a bit like most of the ddt based software thats available for the Renaults. Is it all in English? Ive been using Ren0link a bit, and its hit and miss whether your going to be in english or french. They are all largely the same in the respect, that if...

If its only one shaft thats causing issues, id try moving the engine a bit see if you can poss lose it

Did you have vibration issues with no plunge? I have the same issue regarding driveshaft plunge on the Kangoo, 8mm or so on current setup which is classed as almost acceptable with solid mounts. I measured it on the 250 and found the same result as Scoff said, around 15/20mm. I believe the 172...

Clicking clutch will most likely be wear on the pedal box mechanism. My Kangoo does it and its highly annoying. Squib is probably causing the clicking when turning the steering wheel. The mrs meg also done it briefly then stopped so not worried about it since :LOL:

Looks amazing apart from the crap graphics on the sides

Updates Have been using the Kangoo a fair bit over the last few days to see if any issues would arise. Done over 300 miles in total and nothing up to now touch wood. Even tested the cooling system in mcds drive through as got stuck in it for ages the other night, rad fan cuts in at 99deg and...

If the clutch holds ok i reckon 267 and similar torque on stock injector.

Im looking for a battery ratchet, and swinging towards the milwaukee. Do they have plenty of power?

Nightmare, issues with the selector?

Grease bolts are well worth fitting mate, got them in both of mine. Worth checking the steering rack bush on the passenger side too whilst replacing tie rods.

Weekend updates Changed exhaust manifold gasket as could hear it blowing when running. Have been dreading this as it looked tight and imagined the engine would need to come off the mounts and be a bit of a carry on. However the kangoo scuttle fully unbolts so got that off, and that makes loads...

Wont be having much in the back of this as no room :LOL: its easy to get carried away when fully loaded. Back in the day when i used to do a bit of mobile work in my gtt converted Extra van i seen triple figures with engine hoist and a gtt engine in the back. Sharp backed off when i remembered...

Mid week update Have been using the Kangoo quite a bit to see if any little niggles developed. Have done 90 miles up to now without issue, short runs, motorway, b roads the lot. Runs really well even though it needs mapping to suit the new engine spec. Fitted a new ply base to replace the...

Great updates, i love the attention to detail. Epic spec for fast road use. How are the roll correction rosejoints fairing with road use?

So with the fuel leak sorted, and new windscreen fitted it was mot ready. Took it for mot today and straight through its test. Mot tester and the garage staff were amused at the wheelbase :LOL: had all the staff looking at it and a few nice comments of how good the conversion looks. So with...

Updates On Good Friday (fuel leak Friday!?) dropped the fuel tank to sort the leaking pipe. Exhaust off in ten mins, so easy on vbands. Tank off in 20 mins and could not immediately find a leak. I changed the tank sender fitting to a 90deg one and redone the sender connection, to make for...

No proof of engine purchase needed, just a basic letterheaded paper saying vehicle reg no xx, presented at xx mileage with said engine and fuel class. Nice and easy and did not take long to sort, compared to when i done my Extra 13 years aho, dvla lost the letter and took 3 months to sort.

I had a 172 cup subframe on my old Kangoo and shafts to suit, and with -2.75 deg negative camber did not have much plunge on the shafts at all. On track with stock jc5 129, could hear the cv’s clacking a bit on hard cornering, only noticed the cv noise on my external camera footage as my exhaust...

Leak resolved Dropped tank and could not find any leaks with pump primed off the ignition a few times and seemed to be holding pressure. No issues with the fitting on the sender outlet - its a very good tight fit and a lot better fit than the oem fuel pipe. I eventually found the leak after...

Feels like a lifetime since ive updated this Taxed the ph1 225 yesterday. Its been stored in a dry garage over winter with battery off. Stuck a new battery on as i nicked the old one for the Kangoo, checked fluids and it fired straight up. Brakes werent even rusty, no issues to report. Quick...

Cheers all. Its been worth building for the comedy value alone. I fancied a set of clio 200 cup racer 17x8 speedlines on this initially, if i could get it a bit lower as its a large arch to fill. Could still be an option, The et would be better too. I need to try a set at some point. Working...

Updates Weeks leave off work, so finally got my Aem afr and Spa dual oil pressure/temp gauge wired in. Ive been putting this off as ballache to run wiring through to engine bay/up the dash. 8 hours later and done, had dash almost fully stripped to run wiring, as heater box is tight against the...

Ive never seen the fittings until recently and they are great for joining an hose up. They seem to be a good bit of kit with dual o ring seal, but on the downside trying to get it fitted up to the tank with no tension on it is a carry on, i thought i had it sussed with splitting the line. No...
