You will probably need a ISO adapter, but i just soldered the joints together on my old car cheaper! Matt

I think we can leave it at 1. Everyone makes mistakes 2. Both companies seem highly regarded on here and have a good rep 3. Good Cusomter service In answer to the guys original query I would go to whatever is nearer!

As you useless cnuts dont reply!! Comma Xstream Red is an OAT based coolant which will be fine (& is cheaper) Just for everyones info

Hmm yeah it is a little bit cheaper thanks! Still curious if you can get any other type of OAT coolant though.

How much oil does it use?

Am I correct in thinking that the "Renault Type D" coolant is an OAT (Organic Acid) type antifreeze? Just dont fancy paying £30-40quid for the Type D and wondered if I could get hold of anything else? Any reccomendations?

If theres nothing mechanical wrong (engine runs fine etc..) with it then id place a wager on the mounts

Does it missfire?

Yeah very useful info there Guy, nice one!

god what a waste of money, you realise it may sound and look nice but you wont gain power.

I bet its because it wasnt @ WOT, let us know how it goes this time. Sounds like a healthy engine to me

that oil is fine! 5/40 better though Shouldnt have let it run low though really but ah well! I think the light only goes on when there no pressure (literally completely empty)

Normal 95 has detergent in also btw (or anti coking agents) whatever you want to call it. If your worried about your injectors clogging up then just make sure you give the car some abuse every now and then. You see so many diesels that plume the black smoke out when they boot it!! Edit: your...

Its not about not being able to afford it I just dont see the point! Don't see sweet FA in smoothness or accel & if you do you a MUG!! (not talking about you my friend but other clio owners) The car has a knock sensor! What do you think its there for? Fair enough in a 102 ron import! but...

Graham - Where can you get these from?

LOL I love all this, using 97 really isnt going to make a noticeable difference in a 1*2 You wanna do a series of tests get your mate to alternate fill ups so you dont know whats in it and see if you can tell the two apart. Its all in the head!

I bet your right! Need to do the tests at WOT All makes sense now!

Leakdown test for the win homos Edit: someone told me that its normal for pistons 1 and 4 to be down or up on pressure on the frenchies I can't remember which way unfortunately. The main thing to check is how much oil it drinks!

Indeed Its very low but need more info really to be able to answer.

You sure^ I'm sure they are only 160-165 from factory

D-Type? please forgive me, do you mean diesel? What CCs year is the engine etc... If the readings increase on a wet test thats not a good sign though. But you are allowed a certain tolerance

Ah okay! Theres quite a lot of things it could be but in all honesty i doubt the plugs would be responsible. more likely a sensor somewhere. I'm thinking maybe a temp sensor or something but its hard to say on here!

Wrong way round lol! Either will be fine for either time of year though! Just noticed it had already been mentioned apoligies.

PM sent, thanks matey :D

cars dont run all that well when there cold anyway. Or has it got worse since you got it? (considering it aint bloody warm atm!)

Feelx I meant the actual length of the gasket not the individual ports. But no worries i just went out and got an estimate!! :)

need a machine polish or itl never be perfect

Im actually gunna have a spare manifold soon, dont know if its worth pissing around with though. I'm also gunna try and make some PTFE gaskets with a scalpel and a few other bits and bobs only cost like £9 for 2 sheets so thought what the hell.

what do you mean by nice ride height? But if you do a search you will find lots of info Generally the best ones to go for are eibach sportlines/prolines or the apex!

I dont think the rears are camber adjustable - but i MAY be wrong so someone feel free to correct me
