Megane R26

Thats from my service book, for whatever reason they are the same as the 200s

Cheers for that. Over on Meganesport they still seem to think it's 5 years / 72k and follow this accordingly. I'll contact Mick@Diamond Motors and ask him.

Good choice. My girlfriend has one and it's always a joy to drive.

How are you going to fit a double din head unit? I assume you remove the old one and the little storage cubby hole too?

Yeah, the LSD makes such a difference. A nicer place to be inside too.

Mines got CD player and CD changer, rather than the cubby hole :smile:.

+1 looks awesome :smile:

Cheers :smiley:
 
I put a pioneer double din DVD/satnav in mine, I must say, the screen is in a **** place for viewing whist in the driving position - I really needed to turn the voice on to use it at all. Just saying in case you are going down the sat nav route!
 
Looks very nice mate exactly what iam hoping for a R26 next

Good lad.

Decided to clean the arches / calipers and wheels.

Calipers and wheels were sealed with 2 x coats of Collonite 476s.

Also discovered the n/s arch liner needs replacing. Meh :

Also the brakes are f*cking dire. So the plan in a couple of months is :

- Dot 5.1 brake fluid
- Braided lines
- Ktec Black edition grooved front discs
- Ferrodo DS2500 pads

Also planned for next month :

- Lamin-X for the front headlights and foglights + side repeaters.
- Back box chop (removing the rear boxes and replacing with straight through pipes).
 
Car looks wicked mate, I like big butts and I cannot lie!! :smiley:

Cheers man.

It's got a strange grinding noise atm which is doing my head in. Booked in at Diamond Motors for cambelt / waterpump replacement and to diagnose the problem - he refurbs gearboxes too which is good if the diff's f*cked.

Lamin-x'd the headlights today :
