I needed a bigger motor to replace the DCi but still needed to be suitable for moving engines and other car related rubbish round the country.
A 530d seemed to be the only sensible option really as I can't stand anything made by VAG.
Here she is.

I have to...
I have a 2003 Clio DCi
I want to improve the sound system but there are some catches.
I'm not after something that's dedicated to boom boom boom.
I don't want any subwoofers in the boot or anything mounted in the parcel shelf as I use it more often as a van than a car.
I have an Alpine...
Me and a couple of mates are going to the graffiti tunnel tonight in London to he some pictures.
If anyone would like to join us we will be there at about 9-9.30.

So I decided some time ago that I needed some cheap motoring in my life and where better to turn than a Clio DCI, £30 a year tax, big MPG, it just had to be a winner.
I struck lucky as a girl I use to go to school with called and said she had seen i did alot with Clio and would I be interested...
After building and breaking my little Ph1 I have decided it’s now all or nothing, and nothing wasn't an option,- Every man needs a toy!
I went to view this. It’s a Westfield SEi Wide-body unfinished project.
The guy who started the project worked with carbon fibre so has done...
As some of you may or may not know,
With Bedford 2 working days away, My car decideds to do this!
Loss of compression on Cyclinder 4, and oil spraying out at high pressure from the oil breather- The engine is DEAD!
So after a moment of throwing my toys out the pram I set to work!

A customer asked me to have a look at her 438'ed Clio 182.
It had a very bad hesitation from cold start until warm. There were no fault codes, fuel pressure was checked and all live data from the sensors monitored and all was fine.
I decided to run an AFR log on the car to see if it had been...
I have an SPA oil temp/ pressure gauge and a wide band gauge for my ITB'ed Ph1.
They are both 52mm normal gauges.
I can't decided where to mount them without them being out if place. Where have you guys mounted your gauges?
Can anyone recommend a nice set of speakers that will fit behind the standard Clio panels.
I don't want the world to hear my womps but a nice set with some clarity and can handle a fair amount of volume.
I love my Trance, Dance, Drum and bass. Etc etc so they need to be up to the job.
Mike
Was origanally called BJA but when you say BJA quickly it just sounds like BJ anyway so its now called BJ.
Picked the car up in October 11 with a snapped cambelt and a couple of other problems.
The Orignal plan was to do it up and flog it but that did happen.
Once I decided to keep it the...
I've just got my hands on a Clio DCI. It needed a new engine, new turbo and new injectors.
Now I've got it running spot on I have to say I'm thrilled to bits with it. From passing my test 7 years ago I've always had sporty cars and I intended to get this going and to sell it but its staying...
I have read a couple of posts on here asking if it could be done and what the gains were, but no one really seemed to know anything about it.
With my Ph1 172 needing a cambelt and a spare set of 197 cams lying around, I decided to have a play and see what I could come up with.
Firstly I took...
Hey,
I'm Jack from MWMSport. This is my Ph1 172 that I bought shortly after Mike bought his.
I brought it for £600 off eBay with a snapped cambelt.
We started to rebuild the old engine but the cambelt snap had caused more damaged than we first thought.
We travelled from Staines too...
