is this because of a problem youve encountered? i doubt cleaning it will sort it, becides, it should never get dirty, as the pickup for this is on the flywheel, outside of the engine, unless youve got a big oil leak, the sensors on top of the box, but its abit more naughty than the smaller...

when i worked at rover , we used to do alot of hydrolic tappets, for being noisey, usualy just one would loose the ability to hold its oil , and would bounce around , making an awful noise, cos we werent magicians, we coulnd really pinpoint which one it was, so we used to replace the lot. it...

the washer bottle on them has 2 motors, each has two upward facing nozzles, pump 1 does front n back, an the other does washerjets left n right, so, it sounds like youve got 2 problems, the jets themselves are knackered ( the bobs inside them stick up, letting all the water out) and a faulty...

dont be so quick to blame the timing, although its possible, consider an air leak? just the smallest air leak anywhere can cause lumply idle, modern engines are clever, and using signals from various sensors to stratigize the idle, but if its letting air in that it doesnt know about, it gets...

cam de-phaser, headlight washer jet. and an aux tensioner, and some of my car is outside on the drive, but not much!!!

the thing that catches people out with the f4r ( and the k4m i guess) is that theres no keyways on the engine, its actually dead cleaver really, you undo everything and when you tention the gauge up, all the slack is emediatly zapped out, so then you just tighten everything up, and ding dong...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** good phase 1s are worth about 2k. mint late phase 2s with everything on and low miles are worth between 3 and 4 k, with the exceptionaly low miles mint balled ones (in the right colour ) maybe touching 5k. trophys are worth about 5k for a average one, with...

as an odd bit of motering bonkersness there pretty good, but there not that much faster than the front wheel drive versions, are eye warteringly expensive to run, ( body pannels are a 1000 quid a piece if your looking to crash yours) and are about as practical as a teabag sized suitcase, that...

FAILED ON A WIPER!!! IM A MOT TESTER, AN IF I COME ACCROSS A CAR THAT NEEDS A BULB, HEADLAMP AIM ADJUST OR WIPER, I JUST DO IT, CUSTOMER WILL HAPPILY PAY AFEW QUID MORE THAN HAVE TO COME BACK FOR A PARTIAL RETEST, BLOKE WHO TESTED IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AN ARSE.:mad:

SPRINGS SNAP FOR FUN ON ALL MARK 2 CLIOS, ALTHOUGH, COUNCELS FETISH FOR SPEED BUMPS DONT HELP. I GOT MY SPRINGS FOR 40QUID EACH FRONT, 30QUID REARS, AN THE GOOD THING IS THE FRONT STRUTS DONT NEED COMPRESSING ON 172, 182 SPORTS. DONT WORRY BOUT DOING THEM IN PAIRS, I DONT, YOU WOULD IN AN IDEAL...

the clio sport, as a marque, no matter what version, or model type , are some of the best hot hatches ever devised, ever. alot is made of the fact that the 182 ff has aircon, and so must be less focused, i suppose thats true, but if u ever actually saw, and felt the weight of all aircon...

BREAK IN ABS PULSE RING ON THE CV JOINT CAN CAUSE A LIGHT TO COME ON, AS THE LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE TEETH CONFUSES THE PICKUP, OR A NAUGHTY SENSOR, BUT USALLY IF THAT WAS THE CASE, THE FUALT CODE WOULD BE SPEED SENSOR OPEN CIRCUIT. IF THE LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT, ITS PROBIBLY A SENSOR.

182 cup, but not sure if its a full fat one, how do i tell? :S
