@roland rat I believe he is ^ ? @197.

There’s some on eBay iirc

What the heck are you doing with this now? Breaking it!? Lol @roland rat

I’ve never really done a cambelt, because of how easy it is to mess an engine up. How many hours do you think it would take as a first attempt?

Ahhhh, now you’ve said that. I might have to look into it, if it’s not as bad as a 172 Have you seen any guides to read? Or a YouTube vid?

Talking of cambelts... mines overdue on the DCI I’ve bought. Does anyone have any idea how much i should be paying for a cambelt/aux belt and waterpump change? Cambelt is the only thing I won’t change myself.

@SharkyUK I was actually thinking what you’ve written above. CS is a brilliant site and an honest/helpful one too, but I think the honesty is making it sound like your on trial... You know what your plans are and your determined to get this built, which is brilliant. I think you should keep...

I’d be just buying another trophy at this stage, a standard, unmodified one. Possibly a higher mileage one, that you could use without any resale value worries. Then just drive it everyday and get your years of missed enjoyment back. Then I’d just break this current one and keep any spares...

Anyone after a DCi 100 intercooler set up? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283238872394

I thought 2018 might have been the year it would have surfaced.. I genuinely take my hat off to you, for the patience you have.

I’ll have a look today :)

That’s a DCi!? Sounds like a 172! Lol Does anyone have more info on the 68 DCi? If it’s got the 100 box and intercooler, is there a chance it’ll have the injectors on a lower map?

Ohhhh! This is fantastic news! I’ve just checked and mine is a campus 68 ?

I’d imagine they’d be too small to go into a Mk3

Can anyone confirm if the later 65’s came with an intercooler? I’ve bought a 55 plate 65 DCi and it’s got an intercooler on it. A standard plastic one? I didn’t think they did.

I took the car for a little spin tonight, to test it a little more. Very surprised at the figures.

Evening all, I thought I’d start a thread on this car, due to it actually being a good example and a lucky find (IMO) Bit of background info: I’m currently in the middle of renovating an old cottage, which has meant I was enjoying a 1.2 Clio Bangernomics for tip runs and carrying materials...

It was a great little find tbh, so I had to snap it up. Yup, it’s a 65. Does anyone know if cruise control is a straight forward retrofit?

Just picked mine up today ? non-sunroof model thankfully. I wouldn’t have gone and viewed it otherwise. 2005 (55) 4 owners(2 were husband and then wife) , 117k Almost full service history, minus cambelt, so I’m getting that sorted ASAP. Love it already. Going to change it to 182 interior also.,

The Mk2 DCi’s are becoming quite hard to get hold of now, eBay seems to be cluttered with cheap Mk3’s now. I’m going to view a mk2 DCI Wednesday- hoping it’s a good one.

LOVE IT...!!! I’m also a huge fan of chunkier tyres. They’re transformed the car from a city show cruiser to something that looks like it’ll go on a track.

Brilliant car. I’m so glad you’ve left the dent alone too.

Is there anything catching the wheel? If not, at a complete internet guess..it could be a CV joint worn.

Jesus, your crazy! I thought you recently had a LYR26?

Love them in standard condition! With the stripes. I actually forgot they came with stripes because everyone takes them off. Enjoy it and look after it! :)

I may have missed them, but do you have in-van vids on track?

Worth every issue to bring the car home with a 1st place trophy. Awesome!

How the heck did you get that for so little! Great buy..!

They’re a standard rivet. You can buy them off eBay

A sticky/noisy lifter wouldn’t bother me. Free solid lifter sound upgrade IMO lol.
