So far so good. had a full service including spark plugs, engine flush and fluids. Cambelt kit, Dephaser pulley, aux belt and water pump. The old ones didnt actually look that old, but i had no proof of when they were installed so better to be safe than sorry i guess. new dampers all...

Thanks Dan, will check all of those things as soon as I get chance and report back any findings.

Hello guys, I've had a search and can't really find much information to help me, so hopefully a new thread might bring the advice I need. Approximately 1 week ago I had my clio serviced. Oil, pollen, air filter changes, 4 new spark plugs, engine flush and all new oil. Once this was...

Thanks for the huge response guys, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for all the replies guys, the parts I have are motaquip. I think I will send an email over to birch down and see what they want for labour and if they would fit parts that I supply. Thanks for the help gents

Thanks for the quick responses guys, any around the north of manchester? just trying to find somewhere close

Good afternoon folks, I am currently in the process of buying all the necessary parts for my cambelt, aux belt, dephaser and water pump change. just need the coolant and dephaser pulley now. However after reading many threads, i have come to the conclusion that i need all the parts fitting by...

so the ever expanding list continues. my little 172 is close to having its cambelt replaced, water pump, dephaser pulley and aux belt will all be done at the same time also. ordered a new engine side cambelt cover casting as the one on mine currently has a stripped thread, allowing you to...

Had some more parts fitted to the clio over the past week or so. Thanks to AlexW the dogbone mount brace is now in place and there is no more knocking under hard acceleration. result! I also fitted a new O/S drive shaft, speedometer sensor on the back of the gearbox, O/S handbrake cable and a...

I sometimes think an arm rest might have been nice for the longer journeys, and as said, a 6 speed box.

Have you got all the bolts and bracketry aswel Alex?

Yeh, just started a thread in the parts page with the picture, thanks James

thanks James, will send him a message, cheers.

from this diagram i am missing part no. 28 it seems, and obviously the securing bolt for the front end of this brace. Any help qwould be great. cheers Martin

Okay so i finally decided to get under the clio yesterday to try and get to the bottom of my vibration issue. turns out that my dogbone was loose as many threads on here suggest. unfortunately it seems the bolt hole on my gearbox casing, is now ovaled slightyly aswel as damaged thread. so i...

is it possible that the water found inside the heater motor could cause my carpets to be so wet?

so as mentioned above i cam across wet passenger side carpets recently. i did a quick search and decided i would check the drainage holes in the bulkhead to see if they were blocked. below is a little bit of a run through of what i did and my findings. i may need more suggestions on fixing this...

Yeh as Alex said it's in the case, thanks for the advice alexW, much appreciated, will look into getting it helicoiled asap then. Also, my drainage holes were not blocked if anybody is interested, however there was water inside the heater motor casing next to the pollen filter..... i will upload...

When I had it on the ramp it looked pretty new but it was loose. We tightened it up but I'm thinking it may be loose again. Possible damaged thread as we had to use a longer bolt with washers. Has anybody else had a damaged thread on the engine side of the dog bone mount?

So it seems buying a French hatchback is full of surprises. My passenger side carpets are pretty wet. So going to have a look into these drainage holes in the bulkhead and see what I can find. If these are not blocked are there any other common areas? Mine does not have a sunroof. And in...

Not sure if I will be coming, I seem to have developed the old 5k plus knocking engine mount problem. Suspect dog bone. Have no money to replace it yet though :/

Hopefully the road trip will be one to remember for my lifetime, celebration of finishing university. what better excuse to go thrashing cars and drinking beers?!

thanks for all the replies and advice fella's i will definitely be getting the cambelt, dephaser, water pump and aux belts done once ive saved the necessary mulla. I think i will also take on board the advice about using a specialist. may replace the plastic cambelt cover and could also do with...

Cheers AlexW. it might be a bit slow but im hoping it will keep progressing in the right direction to where i want it to be.... wheels would be on my list too if financially viable. yeh thats the one i mean! i thought it should have one! so this could possibly be a sign of the cambelt being...

Thanks nixonbradley, its a nice clean straight motor on the outside, just needs a fair bit of work doing mechanically etc. they headunit has been replaced now thank god. usb aux cd and all that jazz. much better looking also. The trip should be awesome aslong as it all comes off and i have all...

Slow progress from me atm from me im afraid, student budget and currently out of work. I did however get the new springs fitted along with new discs and pads all round, bottom ball joint, track rod end and patched over the inner cv boot. just needs the wheels balancing and tracking doing now and...
