Daily dci

[Brigsy]

Updates.

Orange clio has been daily for last 3 weeks. Its running great, done almost 1500 miles in it.

Blue dci mot runs out this week. Front tyres were low with them on the wear bars on inner/outer and 3mm or so in the inside. I reckoned up and i think ive done around 35'000 on the Michelin Crossclimates which is awesome value for money. So on with a fresh pair of Crossclimates ready for winter use.

Mot booked for Friday am.

Thanks for reading!!

Updates.

Both dci's washed on Thursday. Rinsed using the di vessel, great finish with no watermarks.

Blue dci passed mot today with no advisories. Mot testers comments - "clean for an old car". Current mileage 204718, not gone up much this month due to using the orange dci.

I have a few site visits planned at work so mileage will increase quite a bit soon.

Updates. Blue dci is almost on 207k now as been commuting to Hull quite a bit. No dramas as all motorway driving, Its not a bad drive being honest with the m62 being quiet to Hull.

Almost daily sight this week.

Give it the blue dci a hoover out a couple of weeks ago. Drivers seat is getting there so need to do something about that soon.

Also picked up a cheapo trafic/vivaro 1.9dci egr delete to try. The egr is more or less identical on the trafic so might go, ill have a look at it one day soon.

Mrs has been using the orange dci a bit. It chucked eml on briefly last time she used it which as expected was throttle position sensor track 1 Df071.

Apparantly it was reading 879% on track 2 ill have a look at wiring etc soon.

Give the blue dci egr a once over on Sunday as looks a bit more black smokey than usual. Ten min job to remove and examine, looked pretty clean so straight back in. Offered up the egr blank whilst apart, it seemed to be a loose fit and i could imagine it leaking so sacked that off..original egr working is good enough.

Whilst there i changed the airbox for one that @Martin_172 kindly donated. My airbox was well worn round the induction pipe and was causing noise/resonation on overrun and reversing when engine was loaded. The new airbox was in much better condition so fitted that and the new induction pipe that was also in good nick. This cured all airbox rattles and the engine sounds loads quieter.

Airbix fitted, its no show winner under the engine cover😄

Have also ordered cambelt kit, water pump and aux kit. Cambelt has done 64k so its about due. Xmas job, when i get a spare half day.

Orange clio is in the mrs bad books. She used it the other day and the pedal/limp fault was present for most of the journey..best get it fixed soon or there will be hell on😄

Ive ordered a replacement pedal, will try that first. If no joy, i have an old 182 interior loom to chop the wiring out of to replace bits, and ill check out the white plug of doom for corrosion.
