At least its not spilt diesel, that honks for days after! Thought it was a leak but it was remnants across the car from the filter and leakoff change!


Car looks beautiful al, might have to make another jaunt down there

Cheers, yep I hate diesel more than oil. 10/40 is a good shmooke ya

Always welcome, pick a good weather day and we can have a run out across Salisbury plain

My Mum (who has a narrow boat, and (within reason) maintains it herself) found a very good type of hand-wash that gets the smell of diesel off your hands; Citrus (preferably orange) does a very good job of making your hands sociable again.

This is the stuff I used (after the leak )....nice stuff with very good high heat range

[Stickyfinger]

Well I have driven the car again today after making sure the oil leak was cured.

All I can say is it does go much much better. It has a very quick response now on the throttle and is a whole lot smoother. The flat spot I had has also gone

This could be new plugs as much as the flow work ? who knows ?....all I can really say is that whatever it is it is a far better drive and feels like a "better car" than before by quite some margin.

( the old plugs were also twin electrode (NGK) and showed no deterioration and were gapped the same.)

VERY VERY happy, the difference in its "get up and go" is very noticeable

What stuff exactly did you use Alasdair and has it been a complete success this time?

EDIT: Sorry, just seen above Missed it first time...

[chinkostu]

Good stuff al!

Turbo it next

Standard bulbs FYI, not LED as the mask is reflective on the inside surface.

[Hell Razor5543]

That works!

The more i look at that picture the more i think it now needs colour coordinated bumpers..

NICE!

Definitely this mod is going to be made on my V6 Activa!

[Stickyfinger]

I tried to make a V6 Activa mask but the letters/number did not line up well ( as I wished to use the original bulbs and not super bright LED's) so they did not illuminate it correctly at either end. It did not quite look right to the eye either.

Bypassing the colour coded bumpers then [emoji1]

That really finishes it off a treat Alasdair

Those have been properly repainted in the most gorgeous gloss metallic dark grey/almost black and the picture does not do it justice... They look fabulous but you need to see the car to appreciate it fully..

The rest of the car has been repainted in a Renault red and the whole thing is just gorgeous and very well executed...
