Sometimes turbos like to play up after lack of use, id run it for 50 mile or so if its not too bad and see if it sorts itself out. If no joy, remove the exhaust at the turbo and check for oil on the turbine wheel as @barnesautos said. If you see any oil, turbo is usually at fault and letting...

@MicKPM im using a torques quick fit connector same as below so its just a pop on to the plastic stub on the megane r26 sender and nip up the cut nut. It seemed to fit ok when fitted initially. Agreed with rubber probably failing eventually, ive seen some poor quality high pressure fuel hose...

I get the feeling that a cobbled together rubber hose combo would have worked but pikey, go for the expensive option and it leaks :cautious: :LOL: Half considering making a steel pipe up so perfect route around tank as i think the an pipe is pulling on the fitting slightly making one of the o...

In for replys. Im pretty careful but have been snapping or wearing them out straight away recently even with cutting fluid and slow drilling

Evening all On my Kangoo im running a torques an6 quick fit connector on the tank sender outlet pipe and ptfe braided fuel lines. Something has gone a miss and its started leaking a bit which means dropping the tank to find out the issue as no access hatch :cautious: Not sure if the fitting...

Updates Had the Kangoo in for exhaust yesterday. As it only had a decat on, i had a recovery truck booked to take it down. Sods law i got a text at the last min saying the truck had failed its mot badly (transit - rust), nobody else available and as id waited ages to get in and did not want to...

Still need to take that ballast off and weigh it, its huge! Will revisit it soon when shocks turn up.

Sounds fine to me, would not worry about fan not kicking in when idling and not driven, prob not hot enough. I only heard my fan cut in on hot days in traffic. Take it for a drive, get engine hot and then once idling the fan will prob cut in ok. I tried to get the rad fan to cut in on my f4rt...

Same runners are fitted on bog standard clio mk2 seats.

Ive seen a few alternatives to type d. Price difference is negligible though, im sure the febi stuff was more expensive last time i seen it in euro.

As above blow method always works great on a cold engine especially on fussy engines like the R5gtt c1j. Type d coolant tastes like s**t though beware :LOL: I always go by the heater, if thats blowing hot with interior fan on, the cooling system is bled. Last few f4r’s ive done, ive just...

That could be a plan mate. Will see if the new shocks are short enough to keep the springs in. Van shocks are ridiculously long, springs are about 50mm too short currently.

Take subframe off and box straight out, fast and easy to do. If still on original hpas, unbolt the steering rack from the subframe and tie it up leaving the pipes connected, as the pas pipes are a nightmare to undo

Small update Bought a set of clio 197 H&R springs to see if the rears would fit to sort the rideheight out Kangoo H&R on the left, 197 on the right Original rideheight Fitted, on its arse If anything its actually too low on the back now :LOL: To run this low, id have to drop the front a bit...

Had to revisit the rear brakes on the blue dci yesterday. It pains me to have to revisit a fixed job but was getting noise from the passenger rear drum. Took drum off and the brake cylinder was pissing fluid out of the rear piston, typically was dry as a bone when i fitted the shoes on this side...

Done a few small jobs yesterday. Wiring is knacker tight next to battery, its routed ok but have fitted some plastic conduit to protect it furthur and pulled the crappy original pvc tape that was falling off and replaced with cloth loom tape. Done a couple of small jobs to finish the interior...

@Touring_Rob I think anthracite will defo be the better option as it will hide the brake dust. Ive done the white on white thing on the last Kangoo and the brake dust used to drive me insane, only clean for ten mins. Its in for custom exhaust next Sat, and then straight for mot week after if...

The headlamps fog up all the time especially if not used daily, mine have marks inside from condensation even with the rear covers off from sitting. Did you notice a difference of paint colour under aerial base? My blue clio was a different colour due to mega fade.

Looks ok, get some stiff engine mounts on will be sound

Loosen subframe bolts, drop the back down slightly and refit. Ten mins extra work do it right :LOL:

Centre cap looks a bit nippy :LOL:

Traffic diesel bracket bolts up to f4r, can retain alternator and a/c. Can use megane 225 aux belt tensioner.

Looks mint, proper job mate

Will be the same to retrofit as diesel, will keep you updated once i get cracking on with it. Looks like mk3 clio/modus squib with cruise will work, then just a bit of wiring and switches/clutch switch etc.

Looks like a good buy. I prefer the way the mk2 meg drives over mk3, more raw feel.

Cheers all, cant wait to get it on the road. Small update, treated it to a Snappy retrimmed 197 steering wheel. Typically airbag wiring is different as non cruise squib so recalibrated airbag ecu, took 2 mins. Will sort it out when i get a cruise squib and wiring fitted.Job done Thanks for...

Updates Fitted new flow matched 630cc injectors from Efiparts. Reset the ecu/throttle adaptives with clip, stuck another 9ltrs of fuel in & fired it up. Runs good, nice steady idle so was well worth spending the money on fresh injectors. With that result decided a quick test drive was needed...

I wonder why they made this setup and did not use the cup racer setup. Pas cooler line setup in front of the rad too

That mated up to a sadev sequential would be pretty awesome. Would seriously hurt the wallet though.

Seen this up for sale, will be a great project. Engine wise, what about a dressed up Honda k20 on bodies?
