Apologies for the shit quality pictures.
Its an ongoing (on the road) project with the idea just to renew and refresh the whole car bit by bit untill its all functional and tidy. Its currently on 164k miles and still going strong.
Has the car been on the owners club before?

Welcome along
Impressive stable!Got any pics of the rest?
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - RetroPug - 31-01-2014
Welcome!
If nobody on this forum recognises the car, someone on the '6 and rallye forum might.
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 31-01-2014
I do have a couple of pics of the megane somewhere i think, will have a look
The clio is awaiting collection as it was a spur of the moment monday morning 350 quid bargain
The D-turbo is in my workshop awaiting a thermostat and waterpump etc as that was a £400 bargain with 12 months ticket
RetroPug - thanks for that
I didnt know there was a seperate forum but seeing as i own both the d-turbo and the rallye i think i'll be sticking around here.

Lovely looking rallye
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 02-02-2014
Thanks all
clutch cable failed on the rallye yesterday so i have ordered a new one, are they much too fit?

Fairly simple hour max for a garage I'd same.do with a mate if you do it yourself as cable is really hard to trace once its all out.i.e tie some string to it so u can see the route it takes through body otherwise its a proper mission to do.
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 03-02-2014
Aha Thankyou 7057sam i will be tackling the problem head on tomorrow as soon as the new cable arrives at work!
Does come in handy being a parts manager when you need parts for your own car
New cable costing me £28 quid also decided too treat the Dturbo too a new battery, heater matrix / thermostat and fixed the electric window and door card etc. Been a busy weekend! Matt

Wow! That's quite a collection!
Welcome.
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 04-02-2014
Thanks viper, none of them are amazing specs or examples and theyre not all on the road
Finally got some pics of my D-turbo today, not looking its best as its awaiting a heater matrix outside the workshop and i have been busy this afternoon fixing the rallye.
Anyways some pics!

RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - 7057sam - 04-02-2014
How did you find the clutch cable job?
Driven it since?
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 04-02-2014
Driven it out of the shed and down my drive which trust me is enough to test any clutch cable
also removed the spring / plunger jobby from the clutch pedal and its much better feels exactly like it should!
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - 7057sam - 04-02-2014
Did you find the auto adjuster had seized solid? Usually that's what goes on them,spouse it does nt help it runs under and behind the engine.
RE: Newb with 306 rallye & d-turbo - Matt-Rallye - 04-02-2014
I just lost all freeplay in the pedal and then the clutch gradually got closer and closer too the floor untill it became undriveable.
Last drive in it was 14 miles with no clutch so my next job on the rallye is too replace the box oil

It is now back on the road, did 50 odd miles last night, clutch feels fantastic and im very happy with it
just too note i removed the little sping jobby from the clutch pedal altogether and i would recommend doing it!(01-02-2014, 01:20 PM)happypug Wrote: Hi mate.

Hi there fella only just realised you had replied too me, sorry for that!
I live in knighton and work in Bishops Castle so i do wind up in welshpool occasionally, sometimes take the scenic route too shrewsbury through the pokey little roads around White Grit and Minsterley. The rallye seems perfectly suited too those B roads.
