Turbo is easy enough to swap, you must use a 6 point socket on the nuts though, as very easy to round off which would mean engine out. Pull the pipes off and have a look at it, the turbos are weak sadly and do fail quite often. Its defo runaway though.

The pump does not prime when ignition is first turned on, only on the 2nd turn on stock ecu. I think the injectors can dribble dropping the rail pressure, mine done the lumpy start too. Its just started doing it again, so have ordered 4x new injectors.

Mine done this when an injector was on its way out, needed two turns of the key to make the pump prime on cold start, or would crank forever without starting.

Check the turbo has not decided to dump a load of oil into the inlet

If both or all 4 calipers are dragging, and the pistons are free id be looking at the master cylinder. Ive had a faulty master make all 4 calipers stick on after a couple of month layup on my old R5gtt, no idea why i think it was due to age. Clio’s not the newest car now so getting to that age...

Look fine to me mate, the ones to avoid in my eyes are the well used tyres with a good jagged edge and near the wear bar. Will you get away with 50 profile? The sidewall and tread compared to normal tyres is quite beefy.

From memory mine were medium compound, 2x trackdays and a handful of road miles and they were under the wear markers, still did not notice a drop off in performance. My mate had a set of medium/hard a048s on his megane which suffered though after a couple of trackdays and once on the wear marker...

They are a bit skitty in the wet on the roads, but fine if driving to suit the conditions. Epic tyres, best semi slick i have used, a lot better than R888/R888R.

Well worth fixing if the rest of the car is decent and the engine is good apart from fuel system. Even if you spend just under a grand getting it right, it will most likely run fine until the car falls to bits, and a grand will only get another cheap car which probably will need repairs.

Definitely do waterpump, if it fails in the future its the same job again. Got mine done fairly easy by lifting the engine up and down on the jack from memory.

Depends what mintex pads you are using i guess, im trying a set of m1177 at Croft at the end of the month, endurance compound.

Cheapo sds if for occasional use. I bought a Titan 240v sds from screwdix for £40 ish and i have absolutely abused it demolishing things with the chisel on and it refuses to die, perfect for the diy’er or weekend warrior. 1/2” impact gun best bet is Dewalt dcf899p2. As much poke as the...

Rb looks clean (y)

Sound i already have the deep drive set from Halfords so should be ok. Not looking forward to it tbh, if any snap its hassle :cautious:

Check the aux pulley is in good nick on the crank and the cam/crank oil seals, so you wont need to revisit. Need to do the glowplugs on my dci as its a bit moody on idle when cold, what socket did you use to do yours, as i believe they need a thin wall deep drive socket

Same price too, im still tempted to buy a set :LOL:

Speedline do the et38 in anthracite now as made some enquiries when ordering stickers recently, i nearly bought a set for my dci had to bite my tongue when on the phone!

15x7 et38.

Converting the current dci to van is an option to be fair. Ive been looking at the later campus vans and they are euro4 but still £140 a year tax, so not as cheap as the cars.

Im sure i seen this at Croft last week on Good Friday, looked like the same car as 3 holes in numberplate recess. Still very clean could not tell any accident damage.

Cheers mate ? it drives great too engine still nice and healthy, uses hardly any oil or nowt. Lass at work could not believe it is on 144k now.

Cheers mate, steady away and chipping away as been slacking over winter lol. Started new job this week, basically i do property surveys which in the old job had a company van (68reg Kangoo). New job has quite an increase in pay but need to use my own car so pressed the clio into daily use, ive...

Went to Malton and got there by 830am and the estate was full so had to park in the overflow field sadly As pictured with my mates FK2 Type R, we had an awesome blast over Blakey Ridge early doors. Usual brake dust Pic when leaving found on facebook Croft prep soon as full day booked for...

Give the cars a clean up last bank hol weekend as the weather was awesome. Love the ceramic coat on the 250, half hour to clean and it looks like you have spent all day on it Blue meg out of the garage for the first time in ages, really need to recomission it as still an awesome motor, hardly...

Yeah bosh normal pads back in for road use, use the good uns for track. Ten min job Ferodo reckon the pad crumbling is normal on the DS1:11 and does not affect braking, so unless severe just send it

Poor connection at a guess

I just unplugged the relevant uch plug and probed the door switch plug and the pin on the uch plug, extend test meter leads with spare wiring if necessary.

Assuming the door switches are ok - Pin the wiring back to the uch connector for door switches and check continuity. If all good its prob a UCH fault, i had one that said the boot was open all the time.

Stick a Renfort plate on

Pull the shaft back out and stick a timesert in the bad thread, permanent fix.
