Trafic 140dci

Looks awesome!
Looked at the guide for the locking?
Also the cup heater controls seem to work reasonably well

Sorted then. I didn't even attempt it and went straight for cutting a hole for the 12v in its place lol
Is it possible to wire two of the same wires leading into the 12v plug? If that makes any sense.
If so i could have one each side of the hazard switch for symmetricalness!
Just noticed the carpet also, must feel luxurious in there now

Very productive night tonight!
So I need my cage back in before I can fit the seats. Also fitting a false floor so needed harnesses mounted on a bar.
So we got a removable harness bar fitted and welded to the cage and tidied the cage up a bit in places. Used one of the door bars to make this.
Then got it home rubbed down and primered it and it went of very quickly so got a decent coat of paint on it too.
Will need another coat tomorrow and some lacquer hopefully ready to fit Wednesday!
Also got other door card on and locking buttons working, fucked up the hazard switch and got super glue all over my hand, burnt a lot!

I'm going to get some bits and ask Rob nicely to do them for me Just leaving the hazard button tucked away for now.
Cheers Scutch, I feel happy I can take all the credit for this one as everything has been done by me, bar the cambelt. Actually a nice feeling knowing it made it to the Nurburgring and back, aswell as weekly abuse!
Got some more paint today so can't wait to get home as sun is out and will dry quickly meaning can probably get some lacquer on too tonight and fit tomorrow!

TAPED IN HAZARDS?
C'mon lads, I spent a lot of time and effort on that guide, you could at least follow it
The B&Q plastic pipe weld held for 9 months I believe before failing when pushed over enthusiastically, remove it and re-do and it'd b'reet.
Oh and FYI to you both, it's PH2 pov spec controls you need, so one without climate. Analogue. Cliospares sent me mine.
Oh and one more thing, if you had any questions, why not PM me? Tsk. I'd be more than willing to help.

It was dark and i was fed up. I will rectify the tape as soon as i can be bothered
So cup heater controls are ok? As Mine seems to work ok now after i connected the heater tubes up properly lol.
Thankyou for the guide also, the pictures wouldnt work on my phone so i went into a bit blind. It was actually pretty easy

No pictures? LOL! They were the best bit
No problems though, it's always nice to help.
Cup controls should be fine, did you get everything clipped into place behind there?
At first I had the cables loose and not in the clips so they really didn't work well. As soon as everything was done properly it was perfect and totally OEM. I also managed to get my AC wired in (but I think I did the wrong wire for the heated rear window)
Lock buttons working?

Yerr i was gutted. The guide made a lot of sense reading it after doing it
Ive done mine pikey style, i dont like the door locking automatically so i always have it turned off so didnt bother and put the 12v where one of the buttons was
I dont have aircon and pretty sure my rear heated screen doesnt work.
Wow my car sounds s**t!
I will check the heater controls at some point.

Hai Rob!
I fucked both hazard switches so need new ones and still need to get some heater controls. Locking system all working fine, can't work out how to secure the steering wheel cowling, I'm also going to notch it so my radio controls can fit nicely too.
Got the cage in tonight and started putting plastics in, only to find a few missing so should be with the lad I bought them off of just needed to complete the rear. Also need to spray strut brace.
Having an absolute nightmare at the moment trying to get my breaker bar out of my passenger side sill. It's been in there ages after I stored it in the rear wing and it slipped through cannot get anything on it at all, any ideas?

Have you not read the guide danny? Steering cowel securing is covered in the guide.
If you want to send me a little bit of trim, a ph1 hazard button and a ph2 hazard button, I'd be willing to do it for you.

OK well check out the pictures and then see what you think.
If you'd rather send it to me then so be it.

As far as I'm aware there's not no, there's a different amount of pins which makes working it out not simple in the slightest.

I love these long dry nights
Rob, could easily see how to fix the steering cowling do that's all done! Just the hazard to do now, I'll PM you when I've got the bits.
So with the cage in I started getting in everything else, actually starting to look awesome!
Dash back together without wheel and heaters
Door cards complete
Seat Subframes in, except middle bolts as need to raise car. Must remember!
Also picked up new alternator today. Exchange basis and cost £109 which is brilliant price for a genuine Renault item from Renault.
Will pick up my other plastics Friday as missing a couple of bits.
Also a previous owner had removed the rear speaker wires? Was no trace whatsoever so unsure how he did that! So I wired in the rear speakers on some decent speaker cable. I was surprised that the standard ph2 rears are two way speakers too!

Finally got seat and steering wheel back in today and found a bit of trim so all plastic trim is in except the 4 bits I'm picking up tomorrow afternoon.
Wired up final speaker and put in a line level converter incase I have a small sub.
Then started looking at making my false floor which because of the cage will have to be in four bits, possibly 3!

Awsome car mate, hats off!
What kind of budget would you be looking at for that engine alone if you don't mind me asking?

Looks good mate, is the cage staying as a half cage?
SQ5
Azza - engine is completely standard. If you can pick up a second had supercharger kit for a clio you could pay£1800-2500. To do all brand new it would cost around £3000-4000.
Stava - in popping up on and off with track evenings, I'll let you know next time I go up. Probably won't be on track just being nosey!
Lewis - it'll stay half cage for a bit until I can work out how to dodge the dash then it'll go back in.
