Some more progress today, got the front axle off to sort the twisting that happens, as the leaf springs have been put on top of the axle to give more clearance, so you need to add box section on the axle to stop the axle twisting. Still needs a little bit finished off before it gets put back on.

So attacked the Truck today, all the gearbox/transfer box filled with oil and finally a new fuel tank on instead of a temp fix, and we took it a run around the yard - it drives and works, well no brakes yet as we still have the front axel to take off so no point just now!! Todays work started...

Another little update, The fab work has started, well the ripping out of the rubbish that is there has started, and also the creation of the new fuel tank, yet to get pics of that but will next time i'm down - it's going to be an all day session on sat through the day & night :) Before After

Another little update, Managed to to change the rear shoes & the rear centre brake hose only to discover that one of the rear wheel cylinders was shot, call to Dingbro & £23 later a new one on!! Also managed to finish of the wiring and get the new switch panel in place and plugged in, as you...

Well tackled it yesterday, managed to get the old gearbox/transfer box out - and the new one in, lets just say doing that was not pleasent, the amount of bolts missing in the bellhousing was crazy - so drilled out as many as we could and put new high tensile bolts and locking nuts on. Not got...

I have just helped my mate a rack on his renault traffic, easyish if your handy with a spanner, so don't think it's down to the clio - i'm guessing over a range of vehicles!! it was the smallest play in the rack but knocked like fudge going side to side! £400 for the part with a £160 + VAT...

Well managed to get it back to our unit, what a balache that was, we had a car to tow a trailer, never had a trailer, got a trailer never had a car to tow it, but got there in the end! Not much done today with it, and never got a before picture, but i've whipped the seats out and cleared all the...

Well not your usual new toy thread but one that should be fun. Needs a wee bit of work to be made good! but has the potential to be a weapon off road! only picture i have just now is the below one - which is not one i took, but will add my own as i go along!! Bargin price too!!

Bad news i'm afraid but you won't be able to move your contacts over, i tried with renault Uk and nothing, they are useless with this - The software from Apple is no longer compatible with renaults BT - it was 3.4 or something daft the last apple version that worked fully. i'm now running a SS...

Ah but without a friendly MOT Tester with regards to the number of CATs - They won't know it has one as it is under the undertray and MOT testers aren't allowed/meant to move anything on vehicle to check for something (Remove Parts etc) it's the same with rusty brake pipes - if you cover them in...

Hi man, Yeah it's fully hands free, you just use the stalk controls for controlling the phone, no need to touch the phone one bit, i'm afraid you can not stream music with this as it is only for the phone. I believe later versions of the bluetooth you get in the clios/meganes do this (ie...

Just had a look on ebay and found this, only trouble is there is no wiring harness. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Laguna-Clio-Master-Parrot-CK4160-Bluetooth-Control-Unit-/200905947020?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2ec6ed778c

Right went out and had a look and got some pics, so hope this is what you are after. First off the actual Parrot box The Parrot Model Number - CK4160 And with the Radio Display (ie. Contacts etc)

Knuckles, thats not the one i have, the one i have is completley hidden and works with the dash display for the radio, and you use the stalk controls, all factory fitted! Not had a chance to get pics yet, but will today at some point (Rain and snow ha ha)
