    Anyone installed a Custom production meglio wiring harness?

    Afternoon, As the title states, has anyone installed a Custom production Meglio wiring harness? I'm installing mine at the moment, and some of the plugs for the gearbox, engine, and exhaust sensors don't match. I'm not sure whether to change the plugs or the sensors. Any help would be much...

    CL10 CYA project

    Sean, just ordered the vac manifold. I know that I should know but could you tell me on your diagram the component name as you've just got a couple of letters and I'm as thick as mince.

    CL10 CYA project

    Sean do you have any drawings or pictures of the vacuum line layout? I've searched the Renault workshop manual, and all of the forums but cant find anything. Ive seen that you installed a vacuum manifold, which I might end up doing, but I'm after getting the engine in and running by the weekend.

    No compression on 225 engine cylinder 1

    I've got to get the engine out ....again anyway to fit an R26 box and custom loom, so tools and access isn't an issue. It was just the best way to diagnose weather it's the bottom or top of the engine. Ill try the things that have been mentioned so hopefully that will tell me if its a sticky...

    No compression on 225 engine cylinder 1

    My very long Meglio project is kicking my ass. I purchased a megane 225 engine from a mate that had come from a running 225...until it crashed. He put a new sump and big end shells, oil pump, water pump, head off and re-ground the valves and new gaskets etc. Ive done a compression test and...
