Shed money Clio 172

[Cambs_Stuart]

The last two MOTs in the Clio have been fairly expensive. In 2022 the rear calliper was binding which meant new rear discs, pads and a drivers side calliper (this was shortly after breaking a coil spring, so I'd only just replaced the suspension with B14s). In 2023 the "new" calliper had failed, the garage refused warranty, and then I broke the hard line getting the old one off. Which was a pain.

Thankfully, this year I've had a nice easy pass:



Time to go track day shopping!

Excellent news, all the money you didn't spend on getting it through the MOT (a number you can stretch to suit your needs....) can now be spent on upgrades!

With the Legacy now off to a new home the clio needs to do some daily work.
Which didn't start well.
I stopped for fuel, and it refused to start. Turned over fine, immobilizer seemed ok. Sitting on the fuel station forecourt with a crowd of curious on lookers i opened the bonnet and the issue was obvious. The fuel hose clip had cine undone. Plugged it back in and the car started perfectly. Gave it a gentle nudge and it sprayed fuel all over the engine (and me).

It must be protesting that you are not doing enough track days with it

Hope you get it sorted .

So new connector from Ktech ordered, but a bodge for now.

Hopefully my next post won't be from the side of the A14 waiting for a fire crew.
