I would say we'll but I took the car out yesterday after completing all the work and the clutch was slipping. Just took it out today and it didn't slip so it might need rebleeding [emoji23]

So as above the car is complete. Engine is all running fine and holding great temperatures

I took the car out last night and the clutch slipped like a bitch. My bad I should have changed it whilst it was easily accessible.

Ordered a new clutch last night.

Took the car out to show SWMBO what was happening and the clutch didn't slip?

Going to bleed it again Sunday when I get chance and see what happens before commiting to taking everything back out to change the clutch.

Fingers crossed

Bit more driving today and last night. Covered over 60 miles and no clutch slip. I'm thinking maybe it was a bit dirty from being in storage and not being used for a while [emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696]

Not the worst result, park the new clutch aside until you know it’s time to replace it?

Exactly that mate no doubt it will go eventually [emoji23]. It was on sale on Renault parts direct anyway so £200 all in with the slave.

Clean car. 200+ miles covered now and everything is sweet. Over the moon with the car and can't believe the power even with it being 'stock' [emoji108]

Looks stunning with a clean, I know the pains of cleaning a black car.

So jealous of the conversion, glad you're enjoying it bud.

Cheers mate. Yeah the paint isn't great but it looks good in the picture [emoji23]

Conversion is the best thing I've done. Would recomend it to anyone

What kind of money did you spend - don't give me exact numbers obviously. Was the main cost the 225 engine/box? Any hidden costs you weren't expecting?

Well the conversion package was £850 then you need a loom making which is £250, ecu immobiliser swap about £80 then a few miscellaneous items such as coolant bottle some coolant hose etc. I done all new oil aswell and a few extras like intercooler and harpipe kit lol you could do. It for under 1500 easy but it would be pretty basic
