I find the tabs on top of the airbag can get stuck. You should be able to push down/hit the airbag section while pulling towards you and it should come free. On one of mine these tabs bent and wouldn't let the dash come out, had to remove the passenger airbag through the tiny gap underneath too...

I'm over the moon with the shell. It does have some scabbing hidden in the fuel filler and a bit on the arch where the bumper rubbed after a bump but all in all its great. I think this one lived life in the city so never suffered major water ingress at speed for extended periods. Its at 101K so...

9) Completely de-stickied the interior. So much nicer now and got to keep the sparkly plastic look

6) Solved the issue of starting every other key turn. New genuine loom and TDC sensor. Existing wiring was already hacked into/splitting. Bit risky with only 5mm of loom to play with but I didn't f**k it up and it starts on every key turn now. 7) Scuttles replaced. Cup washer tank and new...

Lots have happened but will try to summarise: 1) Flight mode engaged, cleaned under panels and rust situation assessed. Scabbing here and there but nothing scary. Will give me something to do over winter 2) Rear quarters inspected: SPOTLESS. Rust prevention and sound deadening applied 3)...

Maybe it was a friday jobby (stolen internet pics for ref): Circled is taught and not fully formed to shape (can depress 3-5mm or so) 90 deg back angles don't comfortably meet each other or the back plastic, plus a loose thread or two Appreciate its not the easiest wheel to do, but as...

My Royal wheel was quick but had lose stitching around the back side right where the thumbs grip (MK3 wheel around 3 years ago). Tbh wasn't bad enough to kick up a stink but it would make me go with Snappy for the next one if you can weather the turn around times - only heard good things

I read that too, I bought a second hand pump in case the new TDC didn't sort it. I have also read the horror stories of refitting the pump housing ring so glad the sensor fixed it for me 😅

Mine would also only start on second key turn. Genuine new loom section + tdc sensor sorted it, now starts first time every time. No idea on cost/place to buy from as it came with the car! Hopefully it sorts your issues TDC Sensor: 8200647554 Loom: 8200673202 Shade under £100 for both from RPD...

Check sills and arches as well. Tinkering and maintenance is fine but additional thousands in cutting, welding and painting might kill the fun. At least that's what I was looking out for when I got ahold of mine

195/45/R15 on a 1.2L over the years: Good Pilot Sport 3's Falken Ziex ZE310's Uniroyal RainSport 5's (fitted to 172 also) Bad Vredestein Quatrac (Not a summer tire, but I am bitter. f**k this tyre)

New front and rear bumpers acquired. If you read this Darren you are a legend! New exhaust holes cut so it looks proper once more. Few scratches here and there but not massively cracked with flaking paint so that's a win in my books - most Clios need a respray anyway... Colour looks off because...

New Monaco friend 👋 Welcome (back)

as @JamesBryan says I the eBay compatibility is generally awful. It says that it doesn't fit my Clio either! I got mine from CarPartsInMotion on eBay. (partsinmotion.co.uk is their official shop) I bought mine as @Krarl has had success with it. His thread is here...

Now the gear assembly is fixed it needed realigning. A pain as always but it's now perfect - along with the Redline MTL it feels fantastic Slight notch 3rd to 4th at 5K+ rpms if I am fast on shift but it's commonly known these boxes cant be rushed, I don't know the full history of the box but...

I fit my 197 wheel using a custom ordered flat washer: Length (OD) 29 Internal (ID) 20 Thickness 6mm Material stainless304 2mm washer bent as it was too thin, went with 6mm as recommended by one of the users on the forum. (In fact I think it was @GrahamS on Youtube?) This also brings the wheel...

@Bmac New filter fitted Managed to get an angle on the elbow were it is lightly resting in the space but not being pushed against anything I can JUST get it out without having to remove the battery or headlight

@Advikaz I have no idea, luckily others do I have a bunch of other wires that are on their last legs though 😅 Similar to @Crayola I have a second hand loom to salvage. For other plugs I am depinning and trying to find replacement terminals. More so for future proofing if possible

That was 2020, I paid more then that a few months ago 🤡

I put a cable tie around it to hold it to the metal support bar above. And some rubber edge trim to stop it rubbing on the body. The cone still rubbed on the battery and fuse box. I'm thinking of going with the thinner ProRam filter to minimise rub. This style:

:')

- Catch can fitted, can't hurt - Airbox back in, PITA gonna look at cones again - Painted rear calipers + new rear pads - Redline gearbox oil feels great - Now I have fixed the gearstick, it falls off the lift reverse.... - Centre silencer welded back up by Simon The Welder in Dilton Marsh...

Apply some pressure to the engine mount and any other rails/covers around the area and see if it quietens down before taking apart

It does sound like something could be loose, or something is knocking into something else 🤔 Was it the same before the work was done on the engine? I have a different 1.2 engine in mine (D4F) and it doesn't make such a noise How long ago was your last engine belts service and how much...

Cant possibly think why *Edit: sorry wrong car, but you should put pops and bangs on a Wind that would be mental

Yes belt plus idler pulley as you say. If it isn't valves it could potentially be carbon cannister, worth unplugging to make sure its not that causing the noise (it will throw an error code when unplugged) I would tighten up the engine mount bolts to spec as well just to be sure Do you have a...
