@Leo182 that pulley looks in better condition than my one did, the rubber dampening material in mines was all cracked and the pulley itself was alot more grotty than yours is. But it would still be worth doing the line test just to rule it out. Not sure about the wobble, doesn’t look too bad...

When my crankshaft pulley was failing it would stall the PAS pump when putting load on the steering and I was also getting a similar noise to what you are in the video. If you want confirm if it is the pulley, put a spot/line of paint or chalk across the inner and outer portion of the crank...

Changed my gearbox mount recently and had issues getting the mount off the big bolt. I left the actually cast mount that connects the box to the chassis in place and just changed the rubber mount in-situ. Was a bit fiddly but definitely achievable. - using a trolly Jack, Jack the box just...

I’m sure that was the same 197 that was sitting outside the local body shop I was getting my cup spoiler painted at. If it was, the guy I was dealing with at the shop told me the owner of the car was due to compete in the Tour of Mull that weekend and was out doing some last minute practice and...

Glad the FobFix option worked out for you, good result and a cheap fix.

I was exactly the same as I only have 1 genuine key, but made sure I used the correct postage and they return they key to you via recorded delivery, so you should have no issues. That said, at least if you get a Timpsons non-remote key then at least you would have a back-up should you decide to...

I’ve also got a Timpsons key and i works perfectly well and solved my starting issue, which was similar to the the OP’s issue. But recent I’ve wanted to get the car‘s original key repaired and used these guys (I’m sure someone on here recommended them previously):-...

Have a look at this thread:- https://cliosport.net/threads/pms-rattle-vibration-damper.828641/ this details some things that can be done to help with the vibrations. I’ve recently fitted a brand new PMS shifter and I‘ve filled the selector rod with lead shot, filled the pivot rubbers with...

Regarding the clock, I’ve just had a similar issue with mines. It was continually scrolling through the minutes on its own and some of the digits started only partially appearing. Started doing it out of the blue and so replaced the clock/screen with another unit and that has solved the issue.

@Coops Mk1 @green I’ve lost the sheet of the sticky dots I bought and just checked and eBay listing I used is no longer active, so I’ve been out with my verniers and measured the ones on my car and they are the 10mm x 4mm ones.

I bought a set of the sticky dots mentioned in this thread and they seem to have done the trick; https://www.cliosport.net/threads/trophy-185s-story.634695/page-8

As expected, too good to be true, received a refund email this morning.

Great find, placed an order for 4 tyres so hopefully it’s not a pricing error ??

The squealing/screeching could be the crankshaft dampener pulley starting to separate. It’s definitely worth a check, as I thought my pas pump was on the way out, but it was actually the crankshaft pulley that was knackered and making the horrid squealing/screechy noise.

@Pricey98 have checked my emails again and I was talking b******s earlier, I bought my OMP wheel from rival, I bought my momo boss from venom motorsport so might be worth checking if they have any in stock.
