I have been playing with this today. Its my new Village runabout.
Its getting serviced next weekend by Coalville Renault. Its got one or 2 original tyres on it still so im getting new rubber this week.
Needs a few exhaust manifold bolts and the tappets setting up but Rog is on with that included in my service LOL.

I had one of them, a quirky car with it having power steering and a auto box.

Dont laugh.
Yep. I did it to my first car - that white campus. Fitted a full scorpion system.
That is, if it's all the same on a Monaco as it is on a Campus?
Good work Bric fella, An exhaust i am a hunting.
Update - Incase anyone cares LOL.

Hmmmmm... new tyre smell... delightful. Just off to Kwik-Fit to get a fix!!
OK taken 5 to work this morning to get tyres fitted. made sure i had air in old tyres to drive on.
Got to work parked up and noticed the car slants to the left. Now i thought this was an optical illusion on my drive way. At work its deffo slanting. Is this a spring issue? shock? its unlikely to be anything to do with the reaer as its on a torsion bar.
Quick list of potential probs would be good so I can get checking when the wheels come off. (in the workshop i mean)
Looks clean mate, there was one of these at the scrapy near mine and I tuck all the door cards plasticks etc out, guna get them retrimd similar to the oe and put in the tungy. The seats are well comfy
Possibility that one of the coil springs has broken making it shorter than the other. Common problem where there's a built up of rust.. it happened on an old Campus of mine yrs ago.
Yeah man it is 20 year old small car luxury, Once i get the exhaust manifold bolts in it wont sound like a 20 year old french car either.
Is it a big deal going from rear drums to rear discs?
my campus had drums i just changed the whole axle
Hmm, that could potentially also lower it. Good idea fella.
Heres an Aerial shot from work.
Drums with new or decent working shoes and set up work well enough IMO
yeah but drums just dont look right
Drums make it look like i cant afford a better car, and not that i have chosen this one.yeah but drums just dont look right
Drums are fine when adjusted correctly, not worth the hassle changing to disc beam. Work fine on my van, paint them up if you want them to look better?
My campus have different design axle on it, anti roll bar stretch's from trailing arm to trailing arm and thinner then gt but from the 700miles i've done in it feels and handles fine.
your right mine worked fine too i just wanted discs as they look much better spose i could off used something like this
