Not sure what it was as the rod bolts were fine. The shells did not have a mark on them so oil all good. HaHa I dont rev the arse off her and have done over 80k. In all this time it has never missed a beat. Just think it was one of those things. Piston or Con-rod failure for what ever reson...

Also known as a gudgeon pin. :) The bore is not to bad. Did have to empty some bits out of the exhaust down pipe and cat though. there is also a hole in the bottom of the block so may be some parts in the water side.

HaHa thanks mate. Would be pissed if I did not have another engine. The other half said I was mad to get it but glad I did. Best £200 I have ever spent.

HaHa ye. Made a great noise. Had to laugh when I took the head of and was thinking Errr were has piston number 4 gone.

Now I am not a master mechanic but think my engine is spent. Good job I had another sitting in the garage. :)

Ye thats what I am going for to put in the Spitfire. Thats if i can get it out. The boot floor is bent to f**k.

If I get time tomorrow am going to pop down. Is there anything you boy & girls want mw to look for?

Am going back at the weekend so will have a look for you. From what i remember there is nothing that is not bent. Did ask how much for the engine if its not smashed and he said about £550 so errrr no your ok mate.

Just seen this in a scrap yard by me. If your going to crash may as well do a proper job of it. Looks so nasty. Hope the driver was not bad.

Just seend your post am sure you have done it by now but would you like the manual?

Anyone staying at Whittlebury Park? If you are look out for the only RS Clio with a roof box as its prob me.

Good afternoon even if it was a bit damp. Lookin forward to seeing the pics. Like to see what Clio looked like on that hill. :)

Went to remove my wishbone today but ran into a problem. Can I F**K get the rear bolt out. Nut came off fine but the bolt seems to be welded to the inner of the bush. Anyone had this before and how did you sort it? Only plan i have at the moment is to cut it. Any help would...

Would be up for this. Just pick a date and let us know.

HaHa Thanks Dan

Car is looking lovley mate. Was parked next to it at the red light. My mate said he did not like the wheels so gave him a slap. :approve: Dan dont worry you are not the only one. Been on here 3 years and never been spotted.:(

Inferno 182 with black wheels on Prenton Hall road. Then a blue 172 in Birkenhead and a Blue 182 in Oxton vilage by the OBT.

Black 182 just came up behind me in Ruabon. Sounded nice. :approve:

No probs. :) Well now you know but for the others that do not look out for skoda octavia vrs and black freelander 2s. Going past them at speed is not the best idea. Anyway once again gutted for you.:( Did not get a lot of pics as we never parked up together but here are the few I did...

Sorry lads but had to get a pic. Could see you about to go for it and actually shouted out NO! Gutted for you both.

May have been me as was about. :)

Went for it and all good now. lights have gone off the dash. To answer my own quetion it is just unbolt then unplug and put new one in. :approve:

Hi all Need a bit of advice. Set my drivers seat air bag off last week so have put a new seat in and now just need to change the airbag control box. Have got one with the same part number. Have takin the battery off and left it 20min. So is now just unplug the old one and change or do...

Have managed to reset the selector arms and seems to be working ok. :approve: Just wish i had managed to do it before i started to take the box out. Anyway working now so may just clean and paint the subframe while its out.

I thought there would be also but suspension is all ok.

Give up now. Got her into a gear but f**k knows what one and the leaver is in neutral and will not move. So gear box out time to see if I can sort it.:(

No it is sandard and went into the kerb square with he front and back wheel. Car is fine with nothing looking damaged apart from the wheels. Have got the end cover off the box now so just need to know how to reset the gears.

HaHa thanks mate. The last time I hit one of them though it took my fog light and lower grill with it.

Sorry to bump my post bu anyone else help me with this?

Could of been worse Ash. You can try and miss the stupid bird and smash into a kerb. But as i now know doing this kills your wheel, sets the side air bag off and f***s up the gearbox so you only have 5th. Got out the car and the fuckin thing as still standing in the road. Gutted:(
