I know we are all Megane mad (sometimes) but your commitment to keep it running perfect and on either OE or better quality parts is admirable. Like the trim parts for example. Not many cars driven about these days older than five years old. Our stuff is considered "old" and it's nice to see a car getting quality treatment. RS 175 Lux
Do you not do spanner work yourself mate? Thanks very much mate, that's means a lot, I figured I'm in it for the long run now so might aswell give it my all! I just hope I'm on the next shutdown at work so I can plough a load more into it!
I know that feeling... need Donald Trump to pick a fight with someone boosting the barrel/oil price... [emoji1419] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good to see the joint tapped off. Did my wife's the other day and had to cut the outer race and the inner race, finishing with a cold chisel wack to split it. Nothing different just the circlip wasn't having it [emoji18] RS 175 Lux
Did you do her r26 or another car? On mine there was just a spring clip so to speak not a circlip and the joint just tapped off
I wish! No an old 1.5dci Meg workhorse that's just ticked over 176k and keeps passing the MOT [emoji38] Exactly the same as yours and every other I've ever changed. Expected it to just tap off but no. Took it to work and used our aircraft workshop. Had the press on it with three tons and nothing. Couple of the big fellas gave it some welly with a good lump and ended up dislodging the vice. So out with the air tools and a grinder. Just the little clip holding it on.
That is some mileage, you can't beat a good diesel work horse! That's crazy, I'd of been very annoyed by the time the vice dislodged! Glad you got it sorted mate.
So the loom for the rear xenon level sensor arrived, hopefully this is the correct one, along with some genuine front mud guards to try reduce the beating the rear arches take.
Ive got some templates and some rhino sealant or something (see through thick laminate) and will be making some rear arch protectors if you want the template? Bought some off ebay and they're shite but I only wanted for the template to make some with thicker stuff
Yeah. Gonna stick em on tomorrow hopefully and see how they last (ebay ones lasted about 3 weeks! But were very thin compared to this stuff I got)
Sure pm me your email? I'm not in work today sorry guys, so will probably be tomorrow or weds as I don't have a scanner here.
No worries. Will help a lot. Got the rhino tape on the way! Might put some round the door opening at the lower section too RS 175 Lux
Yeah I was thinking to do that too. Looks a weak spot! The rhino stuff is much better. Put mine on today
Think the only issue I may have is the existing damage. Possibly some paint may be in order first. RS 175 Lux
What an awesome thread! This is going to be really handy. I'm tempted by a 197/200 steering wheel for mine, do the cruise controls still work?
Mine does around 36mpg but I do have the 630cc injectors in. I haven't really done much to the car lately, however today I fitted the rear xenon loom which is one of those horrible Renault jobs, navigating the loom around the fuel tank and over various heat shields to the sensor.
I haven't really posted anything on here for a while as nothing much has been going on. As of late I've had a new windscreen in the Megane, an offside driveshaft and some new led numberplate lights from xenons online. Going to give it a oil and filter change this weekend. I've almost had it a year now and including the car spent nearly 18k [emoji15] Oh well, I do love it!
To make you feel better I've spent about £40k+ on the upkeep of my RS4 ! Not including the price of the car lol
Forgot to post I finally fitted my powder coated under brace There will be a few more updates once my dissertation is over
Painted the front grill today in some plastic paint to bring it back to life, looks a lot better now. Also fitted an r26r washer bottle. And cleaned the car as the weather was great!
New battery today, new drivers window module. R26 steering wheel, gear knob and gaitor off to snappy for a retrim. 197 wheel and airbag will be for sale shortly
Took around 3 weeks mate as he was really busy. As above mate snappy is different to royal, would highly recommend, quality of the trim is unreal.
From memory didnt / doesnt snappy work for aston martin doing their trims? Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk
