Cheers mate (y) the dcis just keep plodding on they are great little cars for the dollar. Dci 100 would be great, i was looking for one myself, better gearbox and better mpg. Give the Blue dci a basic service today. The oil looked like it had not been changed for a long time, filter had rust...

Days leave off work today so had a couple of hours on the Kangoo. Took it for a run out and its running great on the new injectors, no hesitation, no misfires or nothing. Mintex m1177 fitted up front, see how they perform. Need to take it out and bed the pads in but bob hope of that today or...

Bang a stock steering wheel back on without plugging in airbag, then refit sabelt after test.

Needs Renault clip on to find out what codes are stored, generic obd scanner wont pick up much. Blue smoke under load will be either knackered turbo or rings, or knackered injectors. Id comp test/leakdown testif you have access to one to suit a diesel, also take exhaust off at the turbo and see...

Use threaded bar instead if you really need to drop the subframe. I would just do as @JamesBryan Said above, and chock the engine up.

Make a note of current config (the pic will be fine) and go for it mate. It will only reset the options listed. Change the bits as you want then save, make sure the battery does not go flat whilst doing it, wont take long at all so if battery is good you wont have any issues.

Give the orange dci a quick clean lastnight, first one since machine polish a few weeks ago. Was nice to go to work in a clean car today. Been using the BH Auto Foam and its epic, can see the muck running off when leaving it to dwell.

Well aye, will see if funds allow some paint in the future might get bumpers on it. Cheers mate (y) i dont mind the colour at all. Egr was dry as a bone just pure soot, quite pleased as was expecting turbo to be well on its way. As soon as the oil is changed ill give it an italian tune up to...

Check the exhaust wheel is dry and no oil on it, any oil will indicate a smoker. Can only check play in the shaft and hope the inlet seal is ok.

Snagging list, goal is to spend as little as possible but do the essentials Service first, bosh the cheapest oil in i can find and run it for a few miles, drop as current oil looks like its not been changed for a long time. New air filter, decent oil and filter, diesel filter, new pollen filter...

Itll have been well on its way and that one push has knacked it haha.

Got up today and nice dry weather so give it a once over as just abandoned it last night. First thing was to pull egr and inlet pipe off, egr was indeed blocked up but blocked on the solenoid side wierdly ? A bit crusty around the penny but not too bad. Can see somebody has been there before...

Dci's multiplying now. Been sniffing around for one for a couple of weeks just to hammer for work. Criteria was air con and preferably not much rust and less than 200k mileage. After looking around found a couple of low'ish mileage dci 100's but the sellers were absolute cranks. I dont mind...

The seal on the compressor housing has probably been worn for a while and oil spraying into the inlet on boost. It will probably have been smoking a little on boost which can go un noticed unless yor constantly looking in the rear view mirror, my clio dci was the same - smokey on throttle but...

Find somebody with clip and get it programmed out mate. Job done for good.

Cat will be fine, as the exhaust side is dry. Must have been on its way for a while and good hard rev has pushed it over the edge

I fancy doing a sport replica dci van with a/c, dont tell the mrs this one is supposed to stay stock for work haha. Will keep my eye out for a bulkhead, thinking nice rear seat delete carpet. The boot is choka with my gear for work at the moment in the current one, pop up ladders the lot. Cant...

Take the led out if the full abs setup has been removed, job done.

The eastern circuit actually looks quite good, id be up for it if it was switched about.

Cheers mate (y)the 5gt turbo is mine too, going to recommission it very soon, as have been slacking and its not spun a wheel in 20 months. Cheers mate? I certainly have been down Hartlepool a lot in the last 4 weeks in the new job, its been good to have a ride out. Was sat on the Headlands...

Croft prep on going for 27th May, been a bit slack as a bit on with just starting a new job. First feck up, changed oil and filter for oem elf 5/40, knocked end of number 1 injector and it fell off With 2 trackdays booked just bit the bullet and replaced all for new Magnetti Marelli for...

Had a small issue yesterday, booted it up a slip road and noticed power was down and sounded like a hairdryer under the bonnet..i was expecting the air temp sensor to have popped out but when looking the new boost hose has split at the joint. Cheap thin replica plastic shite ive asked for my...

Turbo is easy enough to swap, you must use a 6 point socket on the nuts though, as very easy to round off which would mean engine out. Pull the pipes off and have a look at it, the turbos are weak sadly and do fail quite often. Its defo runaway though.

The pump does not prime when ignition is first turned on, only on the 2nd turn on stock ecu. I think the injectors can dribble dropping the rail pressure, mine done the lumpy start too. Its just started doing it again, so have ordered 4x new injectors.

Mine done this when an injector was on its way out, needed two turns of the key to make the pump prime on cold start, or would crank forever without starting.

Check the turbo has not decided to dump a load of oil into the inlet

If both or all 4 calipers are dragging, and the pistons are free id be looking at the master cylinder. Ive had a faulty master make all 4 calipers stick on after a couple of month layup on my old R5gtt, no idea why i think it was due to age. Clio’s not the newest car now so getting to that age...

Look fine to me mate, the ones to avoid in my eyes are the well used tyres with a good jagged edge and near the wear bar. Will you get away with 50 profile? The sidewall and tread compared to normal tyres is quite beefy.

From memory mine were medium compound, 2x trackdays and a handful of road miles and they were under the wear markers, still did not notice a drop off in performance. My mate had a set of medium/hard a048s on his megane which suffered though after a couple of trackdays and once on the wear marker...

They are a bit skitty in the wet on the roads, but fine if driving to suit the conditions. Epic tyres, best semi slick i have used, a lot better than R888/R888R.
