Lol! Dave and I nearly bought a black and silver L200 crew cab but the boy changed his mind at the last minute, it'll pull a Clio along without even noticing!

Hopefully, did you have the petrol? MPG might be scary on a tow run.
That would be the thing, plenty of room in the back.

Yeah, petrol. 18 to the gallon towing or not.

Just get a Megane set up (pipes), it moves the reservoir over to the other side. Straight fit.
Yea good idea i did the same too, but left the left side open (when viewed from bonnet) to allow airflow.
:dapprove: I'm led to believe the diesel isnt much better on a tow so not all bad.
5 mins, just use the lifting eye bolt.
Got pics, looked through your blog but nothing?
My fluid was coming out the cap ever since I fitted the ds2500's, never had a bother with the oem brembo's.
I think mine has always seeped fluid out of the cap.

Oh it's there,
The pipes run along the bulkhead, behind the heat matting and fit straight in to where the original ones went.
Strut brace is a little in the way for filling, but it comes with a nice easy rubber strap, we just undo this and pull the res forward a little.

Nice rad over the last couple of pages. Still looks a cracking cup, even after a spin off into the mud 
Shame you feel disappointed with the RS2. I felt your opinion of it was the exact same as when i had drove with one on.

Just what I was looking for...easy to do?
I cant Imagine it being very hard Pete, pull the the old bottle out , push in the new pipes and fit the strap.

Piece of pi55, took me 10mins and Jay 5min. That included the time for me to find enough washers to space the bracket out, and Jay enough time to fit the 'P' clips to hold the pipes together.
It's not been a secret, it's been in there a long time.

Bit of an update, copied over from the PMS shifter thread.
I have fitted mine with no issues what so ever, great bit of kit. I have yet to be for a thrash but its great. It took me just over 1 and a half hours from jacking the car up to putting it back down. The only complaints are slight knock on the tunnel going into reverse (this doesn't bother me in the slightest and could be resolved partially with slim head bolts) and the other was some of the plating on mine was missing/badly done (again doesn't really bother me as its not that bad)
I set the linkage by myself but I was up and down like a fiddlers elbow. I have set it up with 2nd at the rearmost point it can be without the spherical running out of movement. The shifter has allowed me to move the seat back two clicks back to the furthest possible distance on the seat sliders I have which I couldn't before. I'm chuffed there are no fitting issues like had been said and thanks to Phil for organising and Pure for making yet another quality product.
I took a few pictures and I have rubbish video's too.
Instead of using silicone like Pure recomend I used sticky back foam as mine will be coming out from time to time.
Snipped and bent back heat shield to avoid contact.
There's no mention of it on Pure's fitting instructions but you actually have to cut standard selector boot to be left with this.
Some had complained of circlip falling out, the end of a 3/8's extension is perfect for seating the circlip (no need for bottle jacks Phil lol)
Quick video from inside. For all you Jessie's that complained of it not returning to centre, mine has started to after only 30 mins of playing.

I also picked up the truck yesterday and got the new wheels and tyres on it today, need to do a 2" body lift tomorrow to make room for the tyres. Loving it so far, TV is a nice touch too.
I have an OPL track day booked for the 22nd so have to remove the RS2, do a bolt check and throw some fuel in and its ready.

Love the wheels and tyres!!
Ye need to get rid of the two tone!
I'd love to go bigger on the nav but its bad enough on girl as it is with the beefier tyres.

And the wallnut dash too....boke. I might spray the bottom late summer but don't want to throw away money at what is a cheap tow car.
It is for the race car, after all the commotion of them not working etc I had to try for myself. It takes an hour to fit so it will be swapped when its required.
Set about getting the car ready for Saturday at Knockhill
Gave the xenons a quick buff up while I was doing the jeep.
Polished the rs2 and then fitted a new JMS sticker as it was missing when I bought it.
Fitted Scotland's finest as a breather tank.
Spun the RARB L brackets round to make it sit up higher.
Wheels off, full spanner check and then quick wash.
Hoovered the inside, checked the fluids, torqued wheels and set the pressures, rain x'd the windscreen as its meant to rain and thats it all ready to go.

Looking good bud
Thought you were removing the RS2?
Remember my best time is 1.04.58, don't bother coming back if you don't beat it

Good idea regarding the L-brackets, will this change the rear geometry at all?
Thought that was the normal way to have the brackets on the white line? :S
Still waiting on a word back for these brackets, will try get a few more quotes.

I am, just couldn't be bothered to do it before Saturday.
Is that with or without a full interior, tool kit and a lump of a passenger?
No won't change the geomatery with that little movement mate, the closer you get to 90 deg from the beam them it would start to affect its performance.
I presume it is as its closest to the axle but its easier to get the bottom shocker bolts yarked up the other way but I had nicked a few speed bumps recently so thought I would swap.
Looking good fella.....
Where did you get the JMS sticker?......mines missing too...
Cheers, if you PM James@S&MWM (JMS's new name) and he will sort you out. Failing that I bought two and could arrange something.
Looks wikid good work
Lol I give it one event where the car doesn't behave and you won't be arsed with all those straps for the car lol! 2 straps one for each axle much quicker and easier
I heard that they are meant to be bringing in rules on tying cars down. I always go with 4 but I'm paranoid about it falling off lol
I'll grab a photo of how I do mine in the morning when I go out to the trailer. I basically just use one strap for each axle and both meet towards the middle of the car so one pulling the car forwards and one pulling it back.
182cup & 172 racecar
Mines even quicker
Ye I know how you mean, seen it done that way a few times!
What leave them loose like on the way back from Llandow part 1 :rasp:Mines even quicker
182cup & 172 racecar
Just put the handbrake on and leave it in gear.
I was SO tempted earlier just for a test but I had a final destination thought of the car exeting stage left barrel rolling after it turned my jeep into a shogun sport spider.
Looking good Morgs, Cant wait to get my trailer. BTW did you do the trailer B+E test for license, if so was it difficult?
