Err ok I think I'd struggle to find a 1.4 with that mileage for £500. But you could be right.

Not too sure where this one should be, so it's in this area of the forums... Roughly how much is this car worth? Clio RSi 1.8 3 door 1994 M reg. Black 86.5k miles 3 owners good condition mechanically, interior and exterior. Just passed MoT Has loads of leccy kit etc. Its not posted on...

Anyone know what part this is? Sorry bout the huge image size but I'm dumb and I can't get them to shrink!?! Its from my Mark 1 1.4 RT, Noticed it dangling under the car holding on by a two-wire multiplug you can see where the plug goes into the top on the 1st pic. Have changed the engine over...

bump: still need help!

hmm thought that as I've got an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser fitted, but it obviously had a spark and fuel yesterday to half-start.

I need someone to do me a big favour. I need a diagram/ drawing of the back of the inlet manifold of a 1.4 RT showing where the vacuum hoses and attachments go. The story goes: I've fitted a 1996/7 1.4 RT engine into my 1992 RT. After wiring it up and not checking that the looms were EXACTLY...

be a total ass an buy a 'chip' (resistor) from ebay. it'll totally screw up the fuelling, leaving loads of unburnt fuel in your exhaust. you could even join it to a toggle switch so you could switch it in and out! Plus it gives at least 20 bhp more! Lol.

a good slap in the face? :D

Anything over 50 in a 30 is usually 6 points, which would mean I'd have to retake my test. Would bump up your insurance too. Still, a year driving and a clean licence for me. Then again, maybe that's because my cars always break!

I got a 1.4 RT mark 1, though I've got a screwed engine and gearbox in the front, and a 1997 engine and 'box in the boot waiting to be fitted. My advice would be that if you don't want to spend much, fit new -30/35mm front springs as you probably will get away with not needing new dampers...

Mine gave me no trouble after they fitted it, despite the odd agressive start I never thrashed it much though. Its broke now though (bent valves). I might have it back on the road soon, should have a 1.4 engine with 29k miles on it being delivered in the next week or two! Can't wait to get...

Yeah I paid £205 for supply + fit a 1.4 RT clutch off Mr Clutch a few months back. Job was done in a morning and I had no problems (apart from them labelling it as a 1.2 on the invoice! Grrr!) These people http://stores.ebay.co.uk/clutch-specialists-co-uk do an uprated clutch if you fancy...

My RT is waiting for a replacement engine after bending the valves following a problem with the belts (pin holding crank pulley sheared and alternator pulley bolt worked loose, when refitted it turned the cams without turning the rest of the engine,so on restarting it the valves bent). I had...

I'd be at a meet if I had a working engine but unless I push it there's nothing I can do. Went to open it for the first time in two weeks today, the battery is flat and some **** has tried skewering the driver's door lock, so I had to resort to opening the passenger door with the key. Bent the...

nope I'm not the one with a huge clio sticker... I'm still grasping to my last remnants of a thing called 'taste' lol. Won't be at any meets but I'm hoping to sort out a 1.4 engine and gearbox soon to fit to my car in place of my one, a change from 127k to 29k on the engine should be good...
