Yeah my old one had a little arm to clip into the hole, never really fitted very well and yesmy sill bent too lol

Yeah at some point in the near future, Astras are crap Rattly Clio shitbox FTW lol

Looking good mate, something I'll probably do at some point when I get another Clio lol

Get Steve to spray the bump stips and handles mate, will look lots better then. The only issue is opening the doors whilst there getting done hmm....

Cool, well at least you didnt pay over the odds really. Now first thing on the list in my book would be a major service followed by any wear and tear items that need sorting! Last but not least give it a good clean lol. Once its all upto scratch you can enjoy it for what it is a damn fun car...

I never used to wear my seatbelt before i bought the Clio then when I bought it I put it on because the beeping did my nut in, then when I sold it I have stopped wearing it again, proof that the beeping does work lol

Dude I wasn't being fesicious with my last comment its just I don't think that putting new spark plugs in will cure the issue thats all. A 172 with 100k+ on it will need a lot of wear and tear bits and bobs replacing. To get it upto a standard that I myself would be happy with would cost about...

How much of a mate was he lol? Has it got any reciepts or service history at all? Might help in diagnosing the problem if certain bits have been recently changed. A missfire would most likely be down to either Leads or CP (coilpack) Also I hate to say it but if the plugs need changing...

Lol!!

Chip on your shoulder?

Thats the problem really.. Perhaps I worded what I meant incorrectly, my bad

^ I think thats just the valves that dont like excessive pressure I wouldn't use a pressure washer any more powerful than 100PSI on my own car :)

If you used the car for long drives and utilised the full rev range once warm then you would get minimal moisture in it but yes mine was the same lots of steam until upto temp

I've kinda always had the urge to buy one but to be honest they seem more of a toy than anything (an expensive toy too!!) Thats not to say I wouldn't wanna play though

Someone has already given you advice to check the TB, have you done this?

You have hosed the engine bay down and filled the wells with water Quick wire wheel will make short work of that rust

This guy used it with no problmes but apperently mixed it with fat for added lubrication http://www.bio-power.co.uk/howit.htm

Ah okay! maybe they were black on the PH1 I cant remember been a little while since I last worked on one. But on my old car it was definately orange lol

Weird... As far as I was aware Rubber seal between TB - Plenhum Spring steel Plenhum - Inlet Spring steel Inlet - Head

What the little orange one?

Wheels do look so much better when they are cleaned on the inside tho I took mine off and cleaned probably the first time in 70k they were actually cleaned Cleaned with Brick acid and WD40 no f**king about.

you certainly wont need that one lol

Won't you come sit on my knee squire? :p XxX

My bets is that the little rubber gasket on the underside of the plenum had fallen off if your sure everything was plumbed back in correctly. I took my plenum/inlet off a good 10+ times with the same gaskets with no problem at all.

Ya respect bruv Dya get mehhhh?

did you remember to connect all the hoses back onto the plehnum for example carbon canister/brake vacuum hose etc etc.. Itl be something simple

Yeah the injectors will come out with the rail use a bit of WD to make it easier to remove/re-insert

I just blocked mine off removed the fuse and put grommits where the washer goes, bobs your uncle. Before anyone says it it wont cause you hassle on the mot!

?? This is a 2.0 model Piece of "Pisch" as they say remove engine cover 4 10mm bolts remove leads and main lead bolt new one in connect it all back up and bobs your uncle The leads and CP are numbered so dont need to worry about taking numbers etc..

you can have on from me if you like £10 delievered or if your down south near me you can pick it up for free.
