Updates.
Orange dci has been treated to a retrimmed steering wheel from Ottoretrims in nappa leather, with perforated grips, red band and grey stitching. Massive upgrade over old melted wheel, its a much nicer place to be.
Neww and posh wheel.
Still a great little car. Give it a run out today as its been sat for a couple of weeks, fired up like it was used yesterday.
Usual antisocial parking.
Blue dci still plowing the miles on. 185k now and rising. Coolant level has not budged since heater matrix replacement.
Thanks for reading!!

Blue dci 186800 current mileage. Not done loads of miles since last update, odd day of running about with work and the usual day to day use.
I had a chirp starting to develop from the aux belt area from cold. I get a bit twitchy with stuff like this as dont want it failing and doing the cambelt. I dont know service interval for these but its approx 2 years/35k since last aux kit so opted to replace with a new oem renault kit (tensioner and belt).
Assume position
Neww
Old belt was not the worst but needed doing, looked like a mark on one edge and cracking starting when flexed. Tensioner plastic pulley was ok, however was quite a bit weaker spring tension than the new one so all past its best.
Alll fitted in approx an hr. Also fitted a new air feed to airbox from some cold air ducting i had in stock as the old fabric feed was torn like they all are.
Seems to be a bit quieter with proper tension on the belt and no more chirping.
Ive given it a pre mot once over and it needs a track rod end on passenger side thats about it really. Im going to replace the top mounts as still original as far as i know and a bit clunky, also changing n/s driveshaft as outer cv boot is starting to deteriorate and inner bearing weeping, ive put an outer boot on it once and ive had my moneys worth out of it.
Autodoc goodies in stock for the job
A few oilfilters in stock as all the cars use the same one
The geo ramp in my mates garage is currently being replaced so ill hang fire with the rest of the jobs for now as not urgent.
Wash day for both Dci's. Orange was pretty clean but blue van was in a state so well overdue.
Washy.
Blue van also had interior clean as well.
Also treated the blue dci to a set of new Alpine speakers for the front to replace the crackly 187k originals. Simple plug and play install using the adaptor plugs.
£25 new on Amazon prime.
Straight in no mods.
Super easy to fit, 7 mins and done. No rattly cone anymore so its a win. Have a few longer trips to do over next few weeks so its a nice improvement.
