Make sure you have the crank pin in when the flywheel is on the 0deg mark on the bellhousing, as easy to pin the crank balance hole instead of the actual tdc slot

Any photographers booked for track pics this year ? Looking forward to it(y)

It will spring to a different position with no horseshoe or cam pulleys on due to the valve springs and valves opening. Do it as per the workshop manual

You can reprogram the airbag ecu to get rid of the steering wheel airbag with can clip. I have a 300mm momo steering wheel and boss for mine, cant decide whether to fit it or not ! Prob best off fitting an early clio2 indicator stalk with horn button on it as you will lose the horn.

Still quite a few mk1 2.0 meganes kicking about could probably use the bottom end with your head https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183775724296

Same as mine. Get it up in the air and check the rod is not catching anywhere and has plenty of clearance when in gear.

I had the rattle on hard acceleration on mine initially in 2nd gear, was highly annoying. The selector rod was catching the subframe slightly with engine movement, so get underneath, slip it in the gear thats causing issue and check clearances. Adjusted it and fitted vibratechnics mounts, job done.

Small update on the Extra van, head built up for the new engine. Piper valve springs, Titanium valve spring retainers and phosphur bronze bushed rocker bar fitted, a few small mods done to the head too. Will get the can in and timed up next weekend, head on and in the hole in the next few weeks !

Clip is the dealer level diagnostic tool.

I think the arse has fell out of the Recaro Trendline. My mate recently had a set that were absoultely immaculate for sale for £650, took 3 months to sell and i think he took around £500. Nearly bought them to replace the weathered ones in the Kangoo, but seemed like a waste:LOL: I think they...

You should be able to disable airbag, abs and asr lights off the dash with clip. Leave rear lambda in and resistor in carbon canister wiring to keep eml off

The Meganes are great, handling and power good, go for r26 if you want mk2, or cup model in mk3 so you have the lsd. Downside is quite a lot more expensive to run compared to the clio, parts are expensive and not great on fuel.

Search for Renfort on ebay. I fitted one to mine, some info on here https://www.cliosport.net/threads/renfort-diff-plate.822374/

Crushed jacking point should be ok for mot @chris blue it will only fail if rusty and holed.

Changed the turbo on Monday for a used ebay £40 special. No pics as oily as feck diesel, compressor housing seal was on its way out and leaking oil onto the cat and into the boost hoses making it a bit smokey on boost, and siren noise on spool indicating out of balance. I fitted the turbo 25k...

Better off using the box section a few inches behind the sill with a decent low profile jack

Go down to 45 profile on a 16” rim mate, thinking about it i had cup offset turinis on my dci briefly on 205/45/16 no issues up front

Vibratechnics top engine/gearbox mounts are sound for road use, when fitted properly/broken in. I have a purple powerflex lower dog bone fitted with the vibratechnics, hardly any vibration or engine movement(y)

Mine is on 15s so no idea mate ill be honest

Can only assume the valve has failed due to fatigue, might have had lots of abuse from previous owners?

Not much difference from memory, mine are 172cup. They are a few mm shorter than the dci shocks so stops any chance of springs falling out.

Rear cup shocks go straight on, cant get away with fronts sadly. Mine is on sachs oem replacement on the front as originals were knackered, seem ok for road use.

Pms shifter kit, transforms the shift. Next mod lsd, then just drive the nads off it and enjoy

Sensor should only trigger on low oil pressure so would not expect it to trigger when revved as oil pressure should increase ? I would replace it and go from there. If worried hook up an oil pressure gauge and see whats going on.

Looks well, mine is on cliosport eibach sportline too and drives great. Bang some cup rear shocks on if not already fitted, makes quite a difference.

Awesome looking mk1, so much want. Bet the extra power has made quite a difference on track

Cheers mate (y) booked it on for the Cliosport festival pm track slot so will be on then. I was going to do Croft on Good Friday but left it too late to book sadly. Need to get it out more often

Sound will give it a go, 2 trackdays probably not bad with the heat off the brakes. I have some deposits on mine now that fallout remover wont shift after Croft last year sadly. Im not sure what the bore size is of the f4r but just go to the same size or as close as, thats all i did and the...

As above new squib is needed. I tried to repair mine but was totally shot, was doing the same as yours only working in certain positions before it went up in smoke. 2nd hand cheap enough

Mine done the same when the pump failed on track, assist then no assist etc, nearly had a moment with it happening mid corner. New pump and fluid, running fluid on minimum on track and no issues since.
