I wouldnt bother with one to be fair the oem immobiliser is decent enough. The only good steering lock is a disklok in my experience

My Kangoo 172 has the incorrect Uch fitted (N3 uch says D4f as engine type & abcde etc as vin) and always says boot is open as a result. The van has no warning lights on dash and runs fine with this setup apart from door open and no abs etc as its on cup running gear. Bought a normal 172 ecu/N3...

Good point it might make bite higher - depends on what the self adjusting cable does. I reckon they were trying to get more leverage on the clutch arm

Thicker oil not a fix for wear and tear. Just keep topping it up - however its a slippery slope once they start burning oil so would stick some money aside for rebuild or new engine or rebuild in the future

With spacers on the clutch cable it sounds like somebody has tried to get a bit more life out of a worn out clutch and hide high biting point. If previous owner has been ramming it into gear i would exepct gearbox to have syncro damage. Order a valeo from gsf cheap as chips with discount and...

You will need to add a bigger/better silencer or another silencer to drop the db level if you dont want to refit cat. Powerflow back boxes usually dont do much. Im in the same situation with my kangoo, one large rear silencer with stealth sytle tip but still very loud 99db static.

Book a trackday or two and get it out there that will relight the flame

It will be fine

Mrs new meg250 has a bit of rust/pad fallout on the wheels. Going to try iron x first, any rocommendations for an acidic based cleaner ? I see a lot of the harsher stuff has been tamed now.

35mpg mixed driving in my Kangoo172 - 40mpg on a run.

Cant help with alarm - Pull the airbag fuse instead to save removing battery

Conversion looks good - interested to see what it goes like

Give the engine bay some tlc last weekend. As bought - functional Whipped inlet plenum/fuel rail guard off and give them a clean up with wire brush on a drill. I had some carb restore paint kicking about so give it a light coating as free and in stock. Had a new inlet gasket in stock so stuck...

Mine is non resonated and decat 2.25" custom exhaust with back box only on my kangoo. Its loud and boomy at motorway speeds but sounds good with foot down. It pulled 99db at 5k when first built not sure what its like now its carboned up a bit. Cat will knock a few dbs off but generally custom...

Only one way to find out. As long as you didnt shift into a lower gear and over rev it massively i think it should go again.

I wonder if the flywheel or tdc sensor is damaged from box blowing up. I would expect it to turn over fast if you had bent valves/skipped timing.

Engine spinning over fast or sound normal ? Comp test time

Rideheight looks good to me, nice bit of rake.

What does the underseat sub sound like ? Might get one for my dci

Should be able to grab a good used seat or get a decent povo spec seat for parts for next to nowt.

Ill have a look at that soon @bloke as need to take sump off. Any hot oil pressure readings before and after ? One thing i found after shimming the prv on the old r5gtt c1j was that the cold oil pressure goes through the roof but only seen a slight increase when hot 5lbs or so however its an old...

Whats the mod for the prv ? Shim it ? I used to do it to the gtts for more oil pressure when hot.

Drop the oil and bang a shaft in, get a magnet on a stick and fish the rollers out. Seen it happen a few times on the R5gtts and people have got away with it, nothing to lose and cheap enough.

Close enough force compressors round as far as you can

Put the compressor higher up on the lhd side in the pic ?

Pull and twist gets them off damage free. Small bit of epoxy resin when refitting to stop it coming loose.

Mk2Clio sport springs will go straight on and always loads of sets for sale cheap. Avoid apex if you want a decent ride, eibach sportline are decent for road use.

Thanks for the reply will have a look into it ?

Japspeed bump steer kit looks good, did you drill the hub to suit the spacer?

You will still get charged for prep regardless of what you do to them. I would expect £200-250 a set.
