    Oil Cooler Priming

    Thermostatic ones are never fully closed, they have a slight bypass otherwise you'd have a dump of cold oil going in when the stat opens up. Fill the cooler with oil before nipping the lines up and crank engine over with injectors disconnected.

    Power Tool Perverts

    Assume you have batteries and charger already as that's a bare tool?

    Coolantgate

    No, do it before you run the engine. Workshop manual specifically says not to remove the bleed screw with the engine running.

    Coolantgate

    I think coolant is constantly flowing through them mate, so having heaters on full is not really needed (although good to know it's getting hot). Heat in the cabin will be done by the blend flap.

    Coolantgate

    Just the one bleed screw on mk2, on the thermostat housing. Fill coolant bottle until a steady stream comes out. Then run the car until low stage fan kicks in (have AC off otherwise it'll be on from the start).

    Driveshaft + boot reinstallation + yellowish stuff dripping

    Looks like a mix of gear oil and type d coolant.

    There must have been 40 people looking at it trying to fix it 😂

    There was 3 that I can remember in group B/blue group that I was in. Radical, blue 172 Cup and red 172.

    Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

    Gutted mate. I came out of Barn corner and saw a blue Cup, at first I thought it was my mate (similar Cup reg).

    I was thinking about this before. There 'should' be enough paddock space over the three levels for everyone that's on track.

    @andybond and the Turbo Renault guys organised a photographer last year iirc.

    Renault Specialist, in or around Bristol?

    @lemonnobby might be able to help.

    My cheap(ish) 172 Cup

    Ahh that one.

    My cheap(ish) 172 Cup

    Is this the little white bush in the box? Can't beat a good specialist who knows what they're looking at.

    Clio 182 Turbo

    That an old Megane diesel box, the 107?

    Coolantgate

    Put the heaters on a warm heat, do you smell a sweet scent? That would be an indication of the heater matrix.

    Clio 182 Turbo

    Output shaft splines on that box don't look to clever. Do you think they'll hold up? I ended up cheesing the ones off on the driveshaft sleeve that sits on the output 😅

    Coolantgate

    250ml every 4-5 days is a fair bit. When they did the pressure test and couldn't see any leaks, did it hold pressure? If it's holding pressure then it can only really be burning it.

    Mine have green polarised lenses, is that ok?

    Yes but they will have to do it online, a bit like the check in that's been sent out. That's how msv do it now at least.

    Clio 182 Turbo

    Ahh yeah, couldn't tell from the second pic angle.

    Mk3 Megane is 14 mins from factory 😅

    Alignment Help

    It is confusing, between that and the diagram of the wheel. You've got me thinking now... RS's have front toe out from factory.
  28. JamesBryan

    Alignment Help

    Rear toe is positive number, so toe in. When you say equals out, how do you mean?
  29. JamesBryan

    Alignment Help

    9 minutes of thrust angle won't be causing it. My old 182 had 10 minutes and it drove perfectly. You'd need 30 minutes or half a degrees of thrust to get the back steering the car one way.
  30. JamesBryan

    Alignment Help

    I've seen rear toe worse than that and still drive straight. Front toe needs sorting to -00.06 both sides.
