1.4 and 1.6 heads are the same.

Yep easy enough to fit.

WHilst people seem to belive this is expensive depents on the labour rate easy enough to get garages with £100 a hour labour rate. Its not cheap running a garage

Upper seat belts is the best place. The sear seat belts point in a crash could kill you as they would compress your spine.

You could always recert the car as a kit car and state whatever tow weight you want

Easy enought to tell take the wheell off and measure. If its a pohase 2 most likly will be a 259mm disks only some early 1.2 8v have the smaller ones from memoery

Only problems are the fuel costs and the fact toll barriers are on the wrong side. O and if you drive on the tolls its going to be a bit of a boring drive and a bit pricy normal roads are cheaper but take a lot longer

Did you just turn the key constantly and not run the starter? if sso then it shoulnd't have injectoed any fuel it doesnt until the engine turns

Check they battery might be dead. Try it in the morning it might have built some power back up to start.

Yep he drop me a message just interested realy how long somehting like that takes and costs. Looking at his prices (and no insult meant its more a state of my car) but the full works would cost more than my cars worth. I'd maybe like to have mine properly cleaned one day, I wash it in the summer...

I'd recon its the thermostat judging by what you said its closed up instead of staying open hence no radiator cooling the engine and hence the high temp. Garage will be able to check see if the sensors working though the right temsp etc. But the wiring to that temp sensor has always been...

Howw much do you want to drive it? If it starts going high get it switched off ASAP. Its an easy enough and cheap enough fix I'd do it ASAP.

Temp sensor or more likly thermostat broken easy enought to do

If you don't mind me asking how long would a job like this/a clio take and at what sort of cost?

If you get truly geekty theres quite a few bits missing/different Possibly the most geeky is the 3rd rear belt isn't there. and the windscreen is different Gearbox is the same speeds but has a speedo sensor.
