Might be able to slip a mk2 megane header tank next to the top engine mount like ive done on the Kangoo

Updates Was hearing an intermittent grinding/squeaking this week on the blue dci when braking first thing on a morning. I thought it was a build up of brake dust or poss weeing brake cylinder so pulled the drum off quickly to check today. N/s was greeted with shoe lining starting to come off...

@Conor L i had no joy finding the fat style air con seals so reused my originals. They seem to have swelled up ok after use and a/c is holding gas ok. If yours are shot, theres mk2 megane ac seals on ebay that are very similar and might be the ticket.

Cheers mate, yes looking forward to flogging it on a few trackdays. Will most likely do Croft first and see what falls off, fix that and go from there. Hoping for half decent handling with lsd and sticky rubber, power should be ample

Thermostat is most likely a 89deg one. Mine took 30 mins of idling annoying the neighbours to even get anywhere near that :LOL:

Cheers all, still buzzing that it works and is a few steps away from road testing. Just done the wipers today ready for use. Ive been meaning to do them for ages but been holding back as the to do list was massive at one point :LOL: fresh standard numberplates too. Ordering a new set of flow...

Back on with project Mangoo this weekend First job on Sat was to refit the fuel tank and make some an-6 fuel lines up. Pretty boring and got a load of shite in my eyes as expected, did not take many pics. Only plus side was i bought some proper hose shears which cut the braided pipe like a hot...

Mine used to be annoying in cold weather/cold start, hesitating until the engine and warmed up slightly, took a mile or so of driving. Never noticed it in summer, by the time id fired it up and opened the drive gates, the engine was warm enough. Mine was decat on stock ecu, always meant to get...

Sluggish/hesitation from cold is absolutely normal, they all do it unless its mapped out.

Should be easy enough to swap casings, get another set off a knackered alternator. Pop a new set of bearings in if needed, and set of brushes, maybe a regulator if not too expensive and then your alternator is as good as reconditioned. Loads of youtube vids of alternator repairs if you need...

I think the meg 225 throttle body is around 40mm from memory, its fine for loads of power, 450hp+.

Thats good to hear, will crack on with mine soon. Nice discreet install.

Sagem s3000 megane ecu? Good luck getting that immobiliser took off. Emulator or reprogram only.

I must admit ive just pulled a Pioneer deh 6600 dab out of mine for the Alpine dab. The sound quality is leagues ahead on the Alpine. Main issue ive had with clio 2 is the rattly rear door cards when the bass is cranked up a bit, tried fixing them back discreetly but did not have much joy...

2003 megane in the uk has a uch/keycard. 1.6 ecu will still need immobiliser removing to wire up to clio loom.

Megane assuming mk2 will most likely be keycard to start, so will be a right carry on to mate up meg loom to normal clio ignition key.

Stock headunit sound quality is pretty dire, if going for a set of good components a good headunit should be first on the list. Im an Alpine fan, and have one in both of my clios. Sound quality improved 100% even on stock speakers. I have a set of focal components and crossovers to fit...

Megane uch will cause loads of hassle to wire up, if you are going to attempt it then download the wiring diagrams off Renault Visu. Easiest way is possibly virgin the megane 1.6 engine ecu immobiliser and sync it up to the clio uch. Its a poor swap, id use clio engine and ecu to save hassle

Cheers mate. Cold weather has put the stop on it for now. The home made swaging tool is exactly like you described it, old mole grips, large exhaust clamp (i think its 60-70mm) and large heavy duty washer. Mine is quite pikey welded up as i used my mates old mig set which was hopeless. Its done...

Looks great, keep us updated

I tried a vm setup on my win 10 laptop and had issues with usb connectivity, it was a known issue with my laptop apparently. Could be a similar issue. You will need to plug the can clip into your usb port to fire it up, might need to do that to finish driver install.

Sonde drivers do not work with win10 in my experience. Win 7 32bit is your best bet

Done a good job making it. I bought it 2nd hand off somebody on the clio sport owners group on facebook, mrs give the green light so was not turning it down :LOL:

Cheers all, cant wait to get it up and running. Weather is killing the progress at the moment, as working outside as the garage is full of cars:LOL: Ive not measured the wheelbase but by going with online figures its 2312mm, compared to clio 2 @2471mm and clio 3 @ 2472mm, so a bit shorter...

I bought this one a few years ago. 1.2 block, weight wise nothing to worry about.

Updates Stuck a valeo clutch in the blue dci from the local motorfactors. Drives great, the used gearbox is spot on and changes gears good. Have done a couple of thousand miles in it since, no issues. Orange dci needed a few small jobs doing for mot back in December. Steering rack boot was...

Ive not seen any decent bluetooth diagnostic setups that run on your phone that can read abs. Renault Clip on an old win7 laptop is best, it will show what faults are stored.

Small update Lux suede geargaitor fitted and interior pretty complete Cleaned most of the shite out of the back, its comedy how small the load area is. Get the same amount of gear in the back of a clio2 with no seats in. Fuel tank shows how short it is :LOL: Quick clean up. Just sat on ph1 225...

Sounds normal, you can usually upshift ok without the clutch, and downshift with a bit of rev matching when the transmission is loaded. I learnt this from experience of gt turbo aftermarket clutch cables snapping every 2 mins, and ramming old knackered fleet vans into gear :LOL: I would just...

Looks epic mate :cool:
