:bleh: well after last nites spirited drive against the mrs megane 120 tdi :D

ive affected the fuel results as its now down to a 1/4 tank left :(

ive developed a squeek like noise from the front pass side suspension

also car was too low for the 4poster to change the droplink , so am going to sort it tonight on my uncles ramps at his garage


also picked up some aircon conditioner from tescos , and have made the musky smell disappear so carplans products are not all cack

Really good stuff that Carplan aircon thing!

I saw it in halfords for £10 last summer, got it on ebay for £5 and thought I had a bargain :D

But then a few weeks later it was in Aldi for £1.99!!! So I stocked up on a few ;)

the only thing i can think off is that they habe changed the design , as per photo above the one has completely sheared off

so the original bolt wont fit through the new hole

any ideas


also heres my 2nd outing on the euro look :)
