Just a little update,
This is the first proper picture I’ve taken of the car. No idea why I even stopped to take the picture! It’s just a DCi...
I feel like my interest in cars is slowly returning and it’s my ‘petrol(diesel) head’ creeping back out, now I’m starting to have more spare time...
I think you’d be better off keeping the Ph2 IMO, with the rust being such a problem now.
If you want a ph1 that much, just put the wings/bumper and headlights onto yours.
That’s what I’d be doing
I don’t think there’s enough content on here to be separating everything.
Plus, I think it’s quite nice to have them all together, easier to skim read and keep up to date on all the recently updated ones.
I’ve ordered some genuine Bosch glow plugs as the slower start first thing in cold (2 to 3 degrees and less) doesn’t seem to have improved with a full tank of redex.
It starts on the button 9/10 times but the cold snaps seem to slow the start. There’s no record I can find on the glow plugs ever...
It is on the higher end on the prices, but it was the only good one I came across with decent mileage. The rest were rattling and knocking going over normal roads, smoking and on average they were all moon miles with leaking sunroofs.
I’ve just bought a Mk2 1.5DCi.
2005 (55)
117k
4 owners (2 were husband and wife)

It was up for £999, I gave £900.
I sold my ruined Mk2 1.2 for £140 then. So it cost me £760.
The...
Good little thread. I’ve recently bought a DCi myself. I’m enjoying driving it! They’re fun things.
I’m enjoying mine so much too, that I am also going to be putting some 1*2 stuff on it. They’re perfect daily drivers.
Mine also needs discs/pads - which ones did you buy from ECP? There’s 2...
I refuse to buy a Clio with a sunroof lol.
Mines showing 71.4mpg after 600 miles of commuting. Brilliant little cars.
Mines taking slightly longer to start start first thing in the morning, but hardly noticeable - full tank of shell Vpower diesel and redex next to give the injectors etc a bit...
I’ll be keeping this thread updated as the progress slowly continues.
I have found out that this is actually the DCI 68 Campus model!
At first it quizzed me how (what I thought was a 65) a 65 had an intercooler on it, then just assuming the car had been messed with.
A 68 Campus actually...
