Partybish's 190k HDI Cleanup Thread

[partybish]

For a daily mile munching commuter car it doesnt get much more cost effective than a decent 306 hdi

Clio looks very nice! had a few mk1 1.8 16v's, williams, 172's & 182's and a 197. Currently got a RS megane dci175 as a mile munching commuter and its bloody good!

Looking forward to seeing pics of this once you have worked some magic

Have you got any pics of the Williams?  They're getting rare to see in good condition these days.  I'm hoping the Ph1 will become rarer as time goes on.  I fancy a MEgane at some point - what sort of mpg can you get out of the 175?

Yeh there's a black pot that goes in that hole. I make a 3d printed cup holder for that space as well if you want something more useful. How much is the wetvac rental?

Yeah, that would be great, having a cup holder would be really handy.  Have you got a pic of one that you've done?  The wetvac was £30ish for 24 hours plus £20 deposit that you get back.  I've got mixed feelings about it.  It takes ages and the suction is worse than the Henry I've got but there's probably nothing quite like it for deep cleaning and the amount of dirt it picked up was impressive.  I might just shell out and buy a "George" as I think that is Numatic's wet vac.

that sound system makes my installs look professional...

Looking forward to seeing this progress

Haha, it's pretty shocking.  I've just picked up a professionally built stealth shelf which looks like it's been wired correctly and I'm looking forward to teaching myself the basis of ICE installation with this project.

That looks like the brake light switch that is hanging down there.
Are they working O.K?

Yeah, the brake lights work fine but I'll check them again.  It has a little push button on it so I'm not sure what that's for.  Where is it supposed to be?
