    Water collecting in boot/rear seat area. Any help greatly appreciated!

    I've the exact same issue on 4 of my Clio's and can't for the life me figure it out. I believe it's one of the spot welds somewhere around that area and I've heard other people having similar issues it must be becoming a more common issue with age I believe. Boot grommets are sealed on all of...

    Main bearing wear

    Yeah, I was thinking of checking the big ends as well. Is it possible to fix the cam journals without spending loads getting it machined? I feel like it would probably be easier getting another cylinder head due to the damage. Wasn't a track car from my knowledge I bought it 5 years ago and...

    Main bearing wear

    Hi all, was in the process of resealing my end cap for the crank along with a new crank seal as it's been leaking badly. I've removed the main bearing from the cap and I just want your opinions on the wear of it would I be stupid just leaving it as is and sending it or should I potentially be...

    Rear camber and toe

    I would probably just set the toe to the factory setting which is 20' total toe in for a 182 or 32' on a 172

    Misfire issue on turbo 182

    I did indeed turned out the cylinder head was the culprit the stem seals were leaking oil into the combustion chamber and the valves weren't sealing the best.

    Misfire issue on turbo 182

    Yeah haven't had a chance to look at it properly yet, stripped the fuse box down to check the relays fuses and the white plug of doom all seemed in order my suspicions are possibly around the interior loom/ where it meets the engine bay as I've been thinking about and I've had some weird other...

    Misfire issue on turbo 182

    It seems to need the heater blower, headlights (sidelights, low beam, and high beam) and front + rear fog lights for the misfire to disappear if you turn one thing off it starts doing it slightly but when they're all off it just misfires as usual.

    Misfire issue on turbo 182

The car needed a fair bit of work and wasn't exactly the best looked after however always had this weird misfire issue you could hear on idle like the exhaust...

    Front Subframe Measurements

    Hi all, was looking to see if anyone could help me with a few measurements for a Clio 172 Subframe as I believe mine might be twisted/damaged. Reason being the L/H wheel is set back more than the R/H wheel by a good 10mm. I was looking to get the measurement from the outward most bolt of each...

    Do you have a multimeter handy? My coil pack went yesterday so I tested it and pretty much confirmed the coil pack was to blame.

    Metal Grinding Noise Around Timing Area?

    Yeah, the whole lot is getting done, both every cambelt rollers, tensioner, seals, dephaser and the crankshaft accessories pulley. So it should hopefully solve my issue. Will I need to order a tool for fitting the camshaft seals(timing belt side)?

    Metal Grinding Noise Around Timing Area?

    Well, to be honest, it makes it easier and he's not charging me much more to do it so why not I guess?
