Kangoo 182

Never ever appealed but don't they go for strong money
My mate had it sitting un finished for 4 year's.
It made £12k as it is, he also owned a RHD split screen before this.
I've always wanted a split screen one, with an engine in that doesn't belong there.

Not today but fixed the boost leak I've had since getting the car
Fitted new pads all round.
Went for the pagids from ECP. Had 60÷ off so done the lot for just shy of £40.
To be fair, they are great. Bite straight away and no fade. Heard a few people have used these on track and i can see why.
Had a mare with the front left caliper. Lower slider pin had siezed and bolt snapped off so had to source a new caliper to get the bracket off that holds the pads (cant remember name)
Renault wanted over £100 for a new caliper so luckily found one on ebay for £25. Guy even delivered it to me himself within 30 mins. Bargain.
Brakes are so much better now the caliper is working as it should. Happy days.

Put these back in today was surprised how easy it was. Looking pretty clean if you ignore the oil mark on the lower bumper

Don't worry, my last two PE2s went earlier in the year. They'd gone square and were giving me terrible wheel vibration.

Mine were cracked to buggery.
Checked the date on them and they were from 2008/2009!

That's stunning. How come for sale?
I still love it but it's a love/hate thing lol I've had it since new(2008) spent more than I care to mention on it (550bhp), it's been horrifically unreliable and unlucky, ranging from bent rods to a neighbours shed roof coming off and (luckily :grin
causing paint damage.I've only done 25k miles in it so it's time to let it go, both Evos will be sold and an A45, I think, will replace them, something I can just get in and drive without worry and not mod to death, Clio can have the garage so I can tinker all year round :smile:

What sort of money do these sell for? 550 must be mega quick.
Clio 182, EvoX FQ360
Standard it would be mid to late teens for a mint low mile manual one, the spec this is, I need a good bit more lol I was offered £21500 last year, prices for good ones are rising so I'll keep an eye on pistonheads and have a think about it. The 19x10 Advan wheels are £3400 new without tyres and these have done 900 miles, so a lot to consider

Thanks bud Lol, not even up for sale yet and the vultures circle lol Badges are actually carbon

Fitted a new screen washer pump. Took 2.5 hours because i had to do it twice after realising i'd hooked up the pipes the wrong way round so the rear was spraying when i wanted the front to and vice versa! :\
Snapped one of those stupid screw shaped plastic clips. Anyone know if I can buy new ones?

PH2 172
Wasted my time trying to find somewhere local to set up my tracking.
Tried 2 national chains, both put the car on a ramp and came back within 3 minutes saying I needed new track rod ends & tie rods on both sides.
Strange; as I replaced it all with OE parts last Friday & it passed the MOT on Saturday.
Guess I`ll do the 50 mile round trip to where I know won`t get skanked ,and only charge £15.

I had similar once. Took my Clio in for MOT and got an advisory for low rear pads.....I'd fitted brand new a few days before!
I'm sure these places just prey on stupid people

I'm sorry but that wheel is f**king atrociousTrimmed my steering wheel insert so that it would fit on the new wheel.
It's cool
I know it won't be to everyone's taste and I reckon the flash made it look worse than it is in person.
I'm an asbo yoof at heart so felt compelled to make sure my cars interior also reflected that
