Megane MK3 250 Cup

[Ian_R]

I ran mintex 1144 on my Megane. I found them a really good all rounder but with better performance than OE spec. Reasonably priced too.

I'll have a look into them, i'll be changing the discs for some OEM HC discs, the discs that are on i'm pretty sure are the M-TEC drilled and grooved, hell of a racket.

Performance front pads are a big spend for the 250 sadly. Ive been looking and anything decent seems to be £350+.

Yeah thats what i've been finding, crazy to think that the pad isn't that much bigger than a MK2, there is a set of pads from Godspeed brakes, but never heard of the brand before - Megane 3 RS Front Kevlar Pads

You could give them a go at that price, assume they will be crap and might be surpised. Stock,pads arent amazing initial bite is poor, cant imagine they will be any worse.

Also all the good pads are track focused so not ideal for daily use.

I had 1144 in my exige. Half decent all round pads.

I may have a try of the one i linked above, not needed just yet, but will do soon. So the meganes AC don't work at all, and have just taken delivery of RENoLink, so thought i'd have a sniff and see anything really, attcahed is an image for the AC - and what ever i do nothing changes with regards to the compressor being requested. Anyone have an idea? I will note that since the last fill there is nothing in the system (Gas Wise) will this effect the results, i have a feeling without gas it won't do diddly squat?

Well some more updates on the old girl, first of an oil change, not long since i done the last one, but don't hurt to do it again, especially for the sum of £40 odd pound. That's a genuine filter and Millers oil. Next up is there is a lot of little scratches over the car, and as you can see of the side view, i started to attack them, just some 2000 Wet and dry, and then polished that out. Got a good few of them away. Also the rear arches on these seem to get peppered really badly - so as you can see - before, during and after, not perfect but a vast improvement. And then the last ones is after a wash.

You use the pump to drain the oil through the dipstick tube?
