Always meant to try some in my dci. Only been putting the odd tenner in the tank recently though not doing any mileage

Had a great day good to catch up with everybody? @Djw John we seen you and the RB on the hard shoulder of the M18 on way there was going to pull over but had no gear on us. Hope they get it recovered back to you asap keep on at them

Bodyshop will be able to repair that no problem. Theres a mega strong trade adhesive/epoxy for stuff like this possibly made by 3m from memory.

Coming together great ?

Had the pleasure of helping to remove a seized fiesta tdci injector today. Only had an hr and basic tools which did not really get it going. Inlet off tomorrow to get heavy duty on it ?

Walk away from that and find one with less rust

Sounds fine to me, some fecking useless mot testers out there. The clio is renowned for sloppy top mounts too when jacked up for mot and my springs are the same no issues. I had a massive bust up with an mot tester over my engine converted extra van. Engine is 1985 carburettor gtt turbo engine...

Try a new seal and sealant it might work for a bit, i think you will have to live with that oil leak unless you get the cam cover welded or replace the head though.

I would not worry if its oil on plug thread cam cover prob leaking a little bit. Replace coil pack if its got a black terminal it will have been arcing

Still nice to see the older cars about quite a few retros in daily use near me. My r5gtt feels tiny compared to any modern ish small car - corsa/fiesta etc. Its still a nice drive though feels raw no driver aids or nowt. I should make the effort to get it out more than a couple of times a year...

Id be stripping the bottom end to check pistons/rods and big ends with the valves kissing the pistons. Full freshen up if rebuilding.

Tickets booked for me and the mrs & Pm track slot booked. Best get the gearbox changed in the Kangoo soon ? looking forward to it

Double post

Wont airbag ecu need clearing/resetting due to the airbag firing ? I had one on clip and the airbag ecu could not be reprogrammed due to impact data stored and airbag light permanently on. Df 175 impact detected information was stored.

Normal for oil to be on the breather pipe..the pipe that goes to the left goes to the carbon canister. If the electrode on the plug is fouled with oil the compression is probably down on that cylinder poss worn rings or whatever - compression test it and go from there. At a guess issues with...

My Kangoo has a purple polybushed dogbone (powerflex ?) Rest of the mounts are new oem mounts and no extra vibrations seems quite decent and engine feels tight when on and off the throttle. However a couple of years ago i filled the stock dogbone mount on my 1.5dci with pu sealant and give it a...

Do the dephaser whilst doing the belts, you would be mad not to. Water pump can be done separately as it runs on the aux belt however its cheap so would do it in one hit. Also renew the aux kit if it has aircon and check the crank pulley as mine was shot.

Paintwork looks great. Gtechniq c4 permanent trim restorer is really good when applied properly if your after a long lasting oem finish. I done my dci with it and got 18months out of it before it started to fade.

If your on 54mm hubs buy 172 cup front shocks

Intermediate bearing looks knackered, will be time for a new one soon

The engine reliability does not really bother me, i know a well set up f4r is quite bulletproof as ran them in the meganes for a few years without issue. Its the gearbox that puts me off - ive blown up a jb3 or ten over the years and my current jc5 is knackered. The next step up to vag box is a...

This is my current dilemna to be fair. I keep thinking more power more problems enjoy it for what it is especially after years of running high maintenance turbo cars. Miss the torque though.

Prob not make a great deal of difference, it would be better with cup front shocks but i cant see it wrecking the handling. My dci has cup shocks on the back and normal up front drives fine.

You dont have to do the fronts however it will probably be due a freshen up if they have not been replaced before.

Genuine Renault 172/182 rear Cup shocks straight on nothing else needed. Impact driver makes it a lot easier to replace them.

Exhaust wont expand like that. Worn engine mounts will make the exhaust move all over the place and soft rubber exhaust mounts.

Not started it yet on the to do list haha, i seen one of the dci80 intake pipes for sale that would do the job.

Update Ordered new oem Renault beru leads to replace the knackered ones fitted. Cant beat new oem parts in the original packaging. Quick stripdown had to be careful not to chip my painted inlet. Old vs new, lead that goes to cylinder number 1 looks damaged where it meets the plug when...

Donnington is always s**t hot for noise, I got black flagged going 98.3db on the main straight in my Extra van a few years ago. I think the key is to lift a bit on the straight in something thats borderline noise wise. Not been back since prefer Cadwell - no bother there pass 105db static and...

Immobiliser will still work regardless of how its locked. Best bet is to spend £50 on new uch/ecu and key get central locking sorted
