A few more bits done today:
Coolant emptied, flushed and filled with Genuine Renault Type D. Also fitted a new coolant bottle as would be rude not to.
Fitted a road Evol dogbone (Road series), replacing the Poweflex purple job I had. Quite a bit more vibration but I hope it'll settle down.
Fitted the Powerflex yellow upper engine mount insert. Unsure what difference this has made as fitted with the Evol dogbone. Throttle response is great though.
Changed the cabin filter, as why not. The old one was filthy.
As well as a few other bits. Degreased and cleaned the top and underside of the gearbox and engine sump.
Removed plugs and leads and cleaned up.

Pics of degreased engine bay?
Also, where is the cabin filter located. Can't say I've ever checked on any of mine before.

Under the drivers side scuttle panel mate.
Will grab you some pics today, going to give the car a good wash and wax.
Good job! Liking them?
Cheers Marc!
Spent the day washing down and waxing it, here's a few pics.

Hmmm, what products did you use? I have some Comma engine degreaser at work that i may use.
Some degreaser (Some Swarfega stuff I had, and some other stuff Gus had), a toothbrush and a jetwash carefully used. That's all! :smile:
For the upper engine, a damp cloth and a dry microfibre

My upper is pretty clean, its just the gearbox/lower side that id like to do as ive recently fitted a fatty style IK and it shows a lot more of the engine/gearbox.
Yeah but that van is running like 283828+ BHP.
Had some goodies turn up courtesy of @George@RTR_Parts .
Brembo Max HC Discs
Brembo Pads
ATE SuperGold
Great service as always, here next day.
Had to get my mechanic to fit them, as all the caliper sliders had seized and I had nothing to hand to free them.
Flushed through some nice new ATE SuperGold fluid. He said the old stuff is the worst he's seen!

Thanks very much! Not a problem, your brakes will be a lot better with fresh brake fluid in now , and not that gravy you've been running :tongueout:
They're so much better and they haven't even bed in yet. It was the thinnest gravy ever!
A few bits done today but focused on helping @optical fit his ASBO Yozza, sounds so good!
Engine cover fitted, as it didn't have one when bought. Before I did that I swapped out the coil pack for a genuine one.
Also, spent some time wet sanding the headlights, they were in such a bad way!

Them headlights came out brilliant! Am I an idiot for not knowing what the tool is?
Weird one, how do you find them gloves for working on your car? We wear them at work (sheet metal) and they seem to hold up pretty well, but there's a lot more sharp edges to catch in a engine bay.

Thanks.. Beef?
What tool are you talking about? Yeah i always use those gloves, they're great. Grip well and are heat resistant too!
Ah, that's not reached this far south then! 😂

Bloody northerners and there weird words/speaks!
The coolant change and bottle replacement one :blush:
Oh that, it clasps and squeezes the hose clip at the bottom of the radiator. It's a pig to get to.
I don't often photo whore but just spent a good amount of time (too long) washing, polishing and waxing and wanted to show it off. All this for French Car Show 2016.
Also, one in its natural habitat.
