Get somebody to hose the outside down to try and pinpoint the leak whilst looking.

After my last experience id say its worth fitting one as a precaution, especially if the box has done a few miles. Mine popped out after riding a lhs kerb at Croft.

Circlip will have popped out as above, happened to me at Croft. Fit a renfort plate instead of the circlip.

Have you tried another injector in the cylinder thats misfiring? Noid light to check the wiring? Are the new spark plugs same as oem as i read other brands can cause issues. Every time ive had a misfire its been injector or ign related.

The paint looks quite faded/oxidised, so will prob be a nightmare to match fresh paint against, and no doubt the bodywork will be full of dings and scuffs so to get it looking mint, will probably need a full shoot. Prob easier to get a ph1 needing bodywork, and do a full shoot on it in...

Its cheap, its a rare colour, and will probably need f**k loads of maintenance parts as quite unloved. Depends what you want i guess?

Seen this yesterday, they come up all the time but you will need to be quick as any cheap clio sport sells like hot cakes. Hard to get one sub £500 with a good engine as they break for half decent money. The parts can get astronomical when you start tallying up the prices when rebuilding.

Years of cheap daily driving after all the servicing bits are done, cant get better for the money in my eyes. I think i have £600 top in this one including buying it, no worry about depreciation or nowt, cheap tax and superb mpg. Got it insured for the year at £148 which is class, so just...

Ive seen quite a few for sale recently on the facebook groups for clio sports, got to be fast though as people are queing for them. If your budget is tight, avoid rebuilding the 172 lump as that will soon empty your wallet.

Might be able to get a tial exhaust housing with external w/g flange already fitted mate, ive seen them for the smaller gt25/28 before.

I wouldnt even bother rebuilding the 172 lump before fitting if it runs ok. Do the timing belt & dephaser, and send it. Loads of cheap ph2 172’s with tatty bodywork for sale, see them all the time.

I was belting my 13mm ratchet spanner with a hammer the other day to shock a bolt off, took the abuse no bother, so would say they are pretty decent. Its about worn out as had it ten years or so, i think its due a claim on the warranty:LOL: The only thing i have broken is the early design 24”...

Mileage wont be an issue, but avoid that rust as better available at the moment.

A bit of graft done this week One of my mates bought a scrap Kangoo, the fuel system was shot so would only start with easi start, and bodywork rough as feck so was only going to the weigh in yard. Engine/turbo were decent as only done 80k, so stripped loads of bits off before it went, turbo...

Its in the uch settings, need to reprogram the clocks, follow the workshop manual as you need to take the battery off at one point so the config saves.

I would do the outside behind the sideskirts with something clear before refitting, will last a long time once done.

I built the above gtt, Its not possible to move the rad over due to the boost pipework, and wider radiator would need to be custom which would be expensive, as nothing available off the shelf anymore. Air filter is in the best position behind the headlamp.

Get some protection in there if used in winter, or the rust will still slowly creep in.

Sportlines are good for day to day driving, not too crashy and handling is decent enough for a b road blast/occasional track. Noticed the back end is quite firm compared to the wanky apex i had fitted before. I had Mark Fish eibach trophy springs fitted to cup shocks. No idea what poundage they...

Its usually some prick who moves near the circuit and complains about it being too noisy, knowing fine well its going to have a bit of noise through the day, which puts restrictions on db level. My local circuit Croft had a carry on a while back. Never understood the mega strict driveby at...

Airbox to dull the induction noise off the itbs a bit if you have room ?

The halfords tools are great. After having all my good gear robbed from my old lockup a few years ago, its all ive used with no issues, solid and reliable.

How much did the new bonnet seal set you back ?

I would attempt to repair that. If it does not work, stick a used squib on.

Looks great. Eibach sportline are good for mostly road use.

Reconfigure the settings with clip..is yours abs speedo or speedo sensor ? What faults are logged.

M/c might have failed, sometimes they have a hissy fit when the pedal is pushed down furthur than normal when bleeding.

M1177 are good pads, used them in my Kangoo on track. I found them to be a bit wooden from cold, but once up to temp they are awesome. Found it quite easy to lock the wheels up with no abs when braking hard, and no fade whatsoever on track.

Looks fresh with the new oem bits(y) best colour too imo !

Alpine all day long.
