Bump

Hi All,

Putting our 2nd car up for sale, and thought a mention on here may help

http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag366/Kevinmwatters1/Megane_zpsbdeaef78.jpg

Car is a 2011 Renault Megane, 1.9 dCi with the limited edition Monaco GP pack.

We have had the car from new, and has been absolutely top class. No issues in the last 3 years, and a great looking, economical and fun to drive car, with lots of toys.

Looking for £10,500, but open to reasonable offers.

Contact as link above, or through PM on here.

Cheers,

Kev

Would suggest Glasgow, although they appear around the same distance on the map, Glasgow is generally always quicker to reach.

Plus, my company are currently doing all of the upgrade works on the M8/M73/M74, and we have a lot of works in and around the Newhouse area!

Leon FR. VAG underneath, practical, economical and easily tuned if desired.

Ok, photos seem to generally make these discussions a little easier. Heres what I have currently;

Fuse box (Pic 1) and lid (Pic 2) in the battery compartment, along with headlight washer relay in battery compartment (Pic 3), no "washer" designated fuse, only one for the headlight washers, which I believe are seperately fused?

Otherwise, there is just the 2nd fuse box in the drivers footwell, the cover of which looks like this (again, no specific reference to washers);

Any ideas?

Ahh apologies, didnt read the 370z bit..

Silver one may have been myself, was out around that area at around 6pm.

It does have a diagram like this, but most of the entries are blank. Certainly don't have a washer designated fuse as shown above?

Guys any update on this one?Having the same issue, but drivers footwell fuse box doesn't clearly designate which fuse is for the front (or any) screen washers?

Hi All,

Having some issues with the front washers. Having searched the forum, I have already tried checking the Y piece and non return valve, both of which appear to be fine.

Next stop would be the fuses, but I am having some difficulty identifying the right one? The labeling doesn't designate a specific for the washers, only the headlamp washers. Are they one and the same?

Failing this I assume that it will be a new motor.

Apologies for starting a new thread that's been investigated a million times, but even with search, I still don't see any answers that help

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Kev

Started driving with a 1.0ltr X reg Corsa, hardly worth mentioning, never mind phtotos.

Then onto 06 1.6 Astra SXI (Again, not a lot to shout about)

Next I had a Volvo C30 2.0 ltr - cracking little car, just lacked the power I craved!

Following that I had an '05 Seat Leon FR (tuned to the sound of 200BHP, and all the torque in the world, while still giving 45mpg plus!) ;

Sadly all that torque eventually got wasted -

After a bit of rehab, and an insurance payout, I opted for German, 320 M Sport Coupe;

And here with the current daily; 1.9ltr Megane Monaco GP -

Next was a bit of an upgrade; BMW 330 Msport Coupe, fantastic car, miss it a little from time to time-

Finally, and current, its the Z

shieldsie - did you have any joy with this. I am experiencing the exact same issue, havent checked the fuses though. From the labelling on the outside of the fuse box in the battery compartment, it seems there is only 1 fuse for the washers? Or am I missing something?

If not, how easy is the motor swap?

If it stays dry I would be up for this, would be good to meet some of you! And the Countach is all the tag line that is needed.

Or not..

Why on earth are the upload limits so small for photo attachments??...

Hers a link instead;

Having had issues with the Apexi Filter, I went a step further and fitted a full short ram intake;

Before..

Barely took any photos but heres one from yesterdays Scottish car show.

 

Tackleberry, one below I got on Sunday..

68k on a 53 plate

Well wasnt easy, but got it fitted with some adaptations and a bit of will-power

Temp measure until the RAM and induction kit arrives.

Fitted Apexi cone filter this weekend.

Not expecting any real increase in performance, but the extra grunt at 3k - 4k RPM is very nice.

Absolute nightmare actually fitting this "universal" system, as the adaptors supplied didn't fit the standard 350z MAF.

Managed with some clever adaptations and a bit of will-power to get it fitted in the end.

Cheers guys.

Will have another go at Butchering into place when I get home later.

And bidding on the kit AliveBoy, cheers for the link!

have you tried lining up the holes off the Maf with the 4 holes of the filter so see how many line up?

Yeah, 2, 3 at a push but a bit off.

And does anyone have any recommendations on best/quickest place to get a MAF adaptor plate?

Ahh I see. Mine on the other hand looks like this;

Im assuming I need to get an alu piece like yours that actually lines up the bolt hole on both the filter and the MAF housing?

I've got an Apexi for the Z, it just has a big aluminium block about 10mm thick which you bolt the filter to

The filter bolts directly to the aluminium block no bother, but then the aluminium block doesn't fit in anywhere?
