Hi all need your help, my temperature gauge is reading half way when I turn the ignition on & the engine is cold. I’ve replaced the temperature sensor with a gen Renault 1 & still the same, I’ve tried 3 different set of dials still the same, though it mite be an earth fault so I’ve spliced...

I’ve got 3 sets of dials & it’s the same on all 🤣

When you unplug the temperature sensor the dash is still the same (halfway). I’ve also replaced the sensor with a gen Renault 1& still the same. I also thought it was an earth fault so to rule that out I’ve spliced into the black wire just b4 the plug & put a permanent earth onto the gearbox but...

Evening all, so a quick update on the fuel pump issue, turns out it was the wiring at fault! Live & earth the wrong way round lol what a t**t. 3rd turn of the key & she berst into life! Ticks over nice & smooth with no leaks. Next problem is……. Temperature gauge is reading half way & not...

Evening all, hope everyone is well. Soooo long time no update! I totally underestimated this build, thought I could do it pretty quick but with family & work coming first we no how it is 🤣. Anyway I keep plodding on, as I’ve said before the mechanical part is pretty straightforward & the easy...

Just to give you a heads up, this kit doesn’t come with fixings & some of the Clio 1s don’t fit! Plus you need extra, so before you start make sure you have some decent jubilee clips or hose clamps.As for fitting it’s pretty straightforward, as your taking the old pipes off just match them up...

Thanks for that mate 👍🏻

That’s the 1 mate thank you! Makes sense now 👍🏻

Evening all, need some help on the engine dynamics intercooler kit. Where do I plumb the small round filter to? Comes with a long rubber pipe but can I hell as work out where it goes 🤣 The diagram that came with the kit it rubbish & I’m stumbled. Any help is well appreciated 👍🏻

Evening all, question for the CS team, so the Clio 172 steering column doesn’t fit into the kangoo bulkhead inside, so I’ve put the kangoo column bk in, the 172 barrel doesn’t fit the kangoo column so I’ve had to put the kangoo barrel bk in, will I b able to use this set up with the Clio loom...

Loads of people have done this & to fair the mechanics side is easy! I’m gunna concentrate on the wiring side on things coz that’s what I’m struggling with, so will go picture heavy on that side

In the hole 🤣

So engine wise this is what’s going in. Fully stripped & cleaned along with ARP stud & nut throughout, plus all bearing. Thicker head gasket, new exhaust & inlet valves plus valve springs, port & polish u no the score 🤣

Wow 2023 was the last post! How time flys, family kids house work etc 🤣🤣. Massive update on the build pictures to follow. So the boring bits, engine is out the van & sold on. Removed the kangoo sub frame along with the lower arms, hubs etc. I’ve just gone full swap with the 172 subframe because...

Yes mate, I’ve got that setup on my 172. Can’t fault it 1 bit for the money! Sounds good at full chat & the build quality is spot on, 👍🏻 it’s a bit droney @70/80 but I think that’s more down to my intake setup. I’ve been in cars that are a lot worse!

Metal chop saw are pretty quick, with a decent blade 👍🏻

Nice1 cheers for that!👍🏻

Hi all, bit of an update! So, 2 weeks ago I removed the rear beam off the van because it was picked up on the last MOT that the rear bearing on the driver’s side was shot. I tried nipping the nut up but it still had play in it, he also said the rear bushes in the arms were split as well! Nice1...

Evening all, I’ve been on here 4 a while & was running a BG 172. Had it for 6 years but it’s proper rotten & I’ve not got the time nor money to fix it! So my next plan is to do a kangoo build! Say next plan I’m well into it already. Engine & running gear is out the Clio ready 2 b striped &...

What clip are you using mate? My kangoo’s dead at min due to the immob light flashing fast when I try to start it.

It is, I was asking what product people are using because I’ve had stuff in the past that was rubbish! But thanks anyway 👍🏻

As we are on the subject of cleaning, what do you all use or what’s the best to get oil off an engine? My engines a proper mess & needs cleaning b4 stripping! Cheers
