It’s not something we use every day so I’d imagine yes it would last forever. Just depends how often you’re going to use it. The only thing I’ve found that really chews the batteries is the m12 die grinders.

Yeah got one in the work it’s great!

Toys got thrown out the pram.. Bought a Laguna though.

Not the worst job, but if you’ve not got the tools I wouldn’t bother, you can pick up a valeo clutch and flywheel from the likes of autodoc fairly inexpensively for them. Worst job about it is getting the clutch bled back up again. While the flywheel is off consider changing the bolts they are...

I’m sure you or someone had said this the last time the engine was out! Renaults are bad enough at shitting themselves standard without going and f**king about with stuff. It will be getting left as is and hoping I can get some of my mpg back to where it was pre melted piston!

Have picked up a lower miles Megane engine with 122k miles so pretty new in comparison to the kangoo lump! Set about getting the engine out of the van to see what went wrong and prep for the new one. Engine out and started to take it apart, culprit for dropping the coolant was this hose...

I had considered it, but the amount I’ve spent on this thing already is eye watering so standard engine it is.

I realise I never checked back in after my summer road trip, the van managed a. Bit over 4500 miles, I got down to Monaco for a few days and then on to Spain as far as Bennicasim spent a bit of time in Barcelona and ended up heading home… well a few friends where at the ring and I decided to...

Glad I’m not the only one, having similar issues with the van. Have done leak off and changed the dodgy injectors, seemed better but after a load of work I’m now having intermittent misfire on cylinder 4. Can’t offer any advice other than f**k motors 🥲 mine has always been terrible for a long...

I might be mistaken but I’m sure there isn’t any other injectors that are larger that will fit. Not sure on the fuel pump situation.

MDB 2561 is the correct fitment for 1*2 However shares the same part number with the cheaper pads so make sure they are actually 1144 you’re buying. MDB1613 is with wear indicator MDB 1518 larger pad with indicator (discontinued) Info available on mintex brake book online catalog

As much as I loved my 172 I wouldn’t have daily driven it. But mine was a little more on the way to being a track car with interior. Working on old Renaults on a daily basis has put me off using a sport as a daily though. Out of that list would be the fn2 or z4 for me. I have a 3.0L e85 z4 and...

I’ts for sale, it’s still going strong just had the belts done and a bit of love. Still has lots of history too seems to be a good one lots of its previous owners have kept it good!

try cleaning up the gearbox earth, other than that try get it on to some diagnostics.

I saw this in Rutherglen a few weeks ago just driving along, it was quite out of place on our roads!

I had these in my clio when I bought it, I had the same question where did they come from, I ended up contacting recaro directly that told me they would have been a factory order and not specifically from a car. Anyway I sold them for £700 I think because they are unsupportive shite like most...

Cheapest way to extend your house that!

That’s unfortunate

I’ve worked on it a fair bit, been maintained by renomotive in fife for the last 6 months to a year while it’s been used as an occasional track car. I say occasional as the previous owner had various track cars he used.

Not flared but sports are rolled in on the edge.

You can use the front subframe but it’s missing a hole for the gearbox mount so if you’ve got the 1*2 one there you’d be as well changing it all with the wishbones etc. Rear beam is different. Sport wings/full body kit is different. To be honest you really do just need to swap everything in...

1206 miles down. Spent a night north of Lyon, fairly uneventful. Traveled down passed Marseille to a campsite on Sunday. “La Ciotat” very quiet peaceful town. Tie rod is really annoying now but I’ve spoken to a local mechanic via google translate who’s going to rip me off for fitting a new...

Hard to find a non leaking sunroof, I swapped a rear ended 172 into my non sport with sunroof back in 2009/10

Everything in theory would swap over. Although tough to find one without a sunroof so possibly be better with a campus model or similar. You’d be correct that they are a tad less likely to rust due to not having side skirt brackets riveted on.

Headed down to the tunnel on Wednesday, bit of a long haul from Glasgow. 514miles and drove an hour and a half into France and used the “park4night” app to find somewhere nice and quiet to park up. Made a healthy lunchtime snack yesterday as I’d only packed a couple bits to get me moving...

Added a couple of shelves today made from leftovers. Quite chuffed with them in all honesty the phenolic plywood is nice to work with. First trip in the van is booked starting next weekend so trying to get everything sorted sharpish. Thankfully most of my deliveries have arrived today.

A maxi and tent box would be far more practical! I’m blessed in the fact it will just be me taking this away so I’m not too fussed on space. I’m either going to have a tent or a small drive away awning style tent with me as well for campsites.

Made up my own jig for routing in hinges. Making a fold down bed that comes down in sections so I can use part of it to sit on, ideal for saving space. Folded away: I still have another section that folds down into the drivers section when the seats are forward I’m just waiting on a...

Been cracking on with the rear of the van. Wired in a leisure battery / split charge / grounding block and 2000w inverter. The kangoo having a flat floor welded over where the rear passenger footwell would be I decided to use some of the space for the electrical gubbins. Cut in a new...

If I was to hazard a guess it would be somewhere between 20 - 40 road cars left. A lot of them burst for parts / crashed or turned into track cars and left to rot. I know of about 4 off the top of my head in Scotland in all varying states 2 of them are track only cars. A real shame as I think...
