Hi, My middle scuttle drain is blocked and flooding the drivers carpet and below the drivers seat. Water is not draining from the middle scuttle drain ( the hole below wipers is clear) so I assume the outlet for this is blocked. For the life of me I cannot find it... Can anyone describe where...

You just made up my mind. Bought a LUK kit. I put a LUK into a 1.2 clio a couple of years ago and the pedal was nice and light after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whats the consensus on valeo clutches now? Are they still destroying gearboxes? Anyone went LUK instead?

Yea, I seen it mentioned on here that its rare to go so I was surprised to see the oil at the bottom of the flywheel. I'm going to get sump gasket and seal ordered tomorrow. Along with new flywheel bolts and cam seals. Hopefully I should have a dry engine after all this! Regarding fitment of...

After reading a bit more, the end cap is sealed, the part the bottom half of the seal sits in? This looks like its leaking also?

Hi, I noticed a leak on my replacement engine which I feared is the crank seal. Sure enough, I whipped off the flywheel and was met with this mess. Going to order a seal and flywheel bolts tomorrow. I've read a few thread on here about changing this seal, but I am confused. In some...

Hi all, I am going to change the timing belt and dephaser on my replacement engine next week before I get it into the car. Is it required to replace the crank pulley bolt? Seen some people saying they don't? Also where is the timing belt guide on the forum? (I am a paid member) I think there...

It’s too good to break. Apart from the engine which will be sorted, it’s exactly how I wanted one. Totally original. Noticed earlier, it still has the wee piece of foam between the ECU and PAS fluid bottle. Hopefully getting the engine crane tomorrow and starting engine removal proceedings...

I noticed the heater would only blow warm air. After a bit of digging I found a fix on the forum. So today I got a spare afternoon and decided to look into it. Sure enough the toothed wheel was splayed so out the cable ties came. I also pulled back the rubber on my brake and clutch and...

Last night I decided to have a look at my exhaust. It was hanging down and had some corrosion. The back boxes where not in the holes in the rubber of the hangers. I refitted them to these and cleaned the tips using autosol and some wd40 on a scotch pad. Still not perfectly aligned...

Fixed the clutch pedal tonight. The self adjuster was sticky and had stuck slightly open not grabbing the big toothed wheel that pulls the clutch cable. Simple fix. FYI the clutch pedal and mech can be removed without removing the full pedal box. I intend to find out what condition third gear...

Next was onto interior.The water leak seems to gather below the drivers seat. I seen it suggested on here that it could be the centre scuttle drain blocked, which would tie in with the alarm LED on solid. The siren is probably drowned. I started by removing all the loose stuff...

Hi all, I finally got my purchase home. Some of you may have seen my thread were I was struggling to get the car lifted and brought to NI. Well, I finally got a transport company here to lift it for me and I picked it up yesterday. The car is a 2004 RB182 with both cup packs I won on ebay...

Check the connection to the interior fuse box.

£400! Cheers for trying. I’m flying home at 12 so heading to the airport soon. I’ve a different transport company lined up for next week to lift it.

Cheers. Assume you had no joy given the late notice?

Transport company from NI I had booked to lift the car have let me down for the second week in a row. I’m in London until tomorrow. Was trying to get someone to trailer the car to the docks and id meet them there. At such short notice no one on Shipley is able to do it. Don’t know if any of you...

At least all 8 exhaust valves bent. Been there done that in a 1.6 16v megane.

Ahh you live right at the docks then! Postcode is RG8

Yes I hope so! Know more when I get it home! Do You not have an rb?

Keep posting if there any other ideas or you know of anyone!

That was me! Shipley is good idea I’ll try that.

Hi all, I’ve made a purchase of a non runner RB 182. I’m from NI so I’m thinking of different ways to get it home. I’d need the car lifted from Reading and taken to Birkenhead where I would meet the person who lifts the car for me. Do any of you know someone or recommend someone who does...

Temp does creep up in traffic as mentioned. Thermostats are cheap. Could always replace thermostat and coolant with genuine coolant for peace of mind! I miss my old 8v clio :(

Very tidy. See you fitted a Clio 3 wheel?

Haven't heard of a clio or any renaults to rust into a hole (clio mk1 front wings excluded). In below my 2001 1.2 clio is better than my 2009 civic!

Whats the battery voltage? Could be possible that the battery has had it after sitting for that long?

What would be the cheapest lightest wheels to go for then? I wouldnt want to be spending a fortune. Rik

Hello. Iv got a 1.2 8v with 17" wheels on it and tbh it is DEAD slow. I put 14" steel wheels on it last night and there was some difference but they are hateful looking so had to come back off. I was wondering what are good websites to buy wheels off? I'd be wanting 15" wheels. Rik

Tuning box's just make the ecu do things it doesnt want to do. Far better getting your car remapped!
