    Is this the correct timing tool for my engine? (172)

    I popped into renault last week and got a price, it's £150 for all the parts now: 0000105400 0000150901 0000149600 7711381801 When I asked the parts guy was adamant these arn't part numbers, but they will go through the system fine.

    Car Conked Out - Now Wont Start!

    Single connector with 2 wires yeah, the loom was a bit iffy and common fault so Renault sold a new connector with loom (The sort KTEC sell) From memory the loom on these run straight to the ECU, you could run a continuity test from one wire to the ECU pin but it would be a pain in the ass lol

    Should be dandy just whipping the airbox off :)

    Car Conked Out - Now Wont Start!

    Crank sensor is right on top of the gearbox where it meets the block, a tad out of sight and awkward to get to. If you have a volt meter check for voltage to the coilpack. The item being tightened

    I think this needs changing...

    Nothing obvious mate, couldn't see any bolts etc I'm sure once it's out, it will stand out though - I nearly died when I took the mount off (Then swore a lot at not going with my gut feeling)

    I think this needs changing...

    None taken, this is one of three (eek) so luckily I had other car's to use. I've got an engine on the bench so hopefully I'll have it out on the lift this weekend and see what's salvageable (Watch this space for the mess!)

    I think this needs changing...

    I told the guy all I wanted was home recovery but he insisted he wanted a look lol Mind you he spent an hour looking so hats off to him (He assumed it was a 1.2 at first) I think if it was age it would be consistent across the belt, it looks like something's came loose and chewed the belt. When...

    I think this needs changing...

    After the AA guy diagnosed the PH1 with a faulty ECU and or Loom, I replaced them and it still didn't start. So I started to dig and thought I would check what I assumed was the issue when it happened and what do you know. Slipped timing and bent valves sounds about right. New engine time :p

    Easiest way to remove bottom Rad hose?

    I normally just hit it from above with a pair of adjustable pliers, not really had any issues.

    Incredible NASCAR finish

    That 1st video is like me on the PS3 when the AI is pissing me off "That can be cut, yeah that too"

    Whats the most time you spent playing a game?

    I must have spent years on the Final Fantasy series, but that's ok - I spent a lot of time in tree's as a child...

    The Watercooled PC Appreciation Thread...

    I'd say anything up to £200 - I'd like the option of xfire in the future, however after using 3 cards - it will be two at most lol

    The Watercooled PC Appreciation Thread...

    Black and red is so much win ! I need to invest in a new card drastically, anybody have any recommendations ? Preferably an ATI, was thinking the 7850/7950.

    changing speedo plastic clear front

    My ph1's just clipped off, not sure if the ph2 is the same but to be honest, hitting it with a cutting compound will probably sort it

    I'm running it stock on the I7 so I don't think it will be going bang any time soon ;) Cheer's for the heads up though !

    Well I've since updated my setup, it isn't finished yet as I'm getting a new set of GPU's (3x 5770's scales badly and the noise is becoming an issue)

    A few performance parts for the RS clios.

    I remember reading a while back something about the pads having two different part numbers and there being a difference in them. I believe one needs filing down the edge's to fit correctly and one has slightly more surface area...

    Check my PC build?

    They should all work with each other, what's the build for ? How much you looking to budget for case wise. Personally I would get a slightly higher rated power supply for headroom in the future. Im using the NZXT Phantom at the moment, great case - well thought through and good air flow. Big...

    Laptop screen problem.

    Looking at the pattern I'd say it was the display wiring, sometimes the cable can rub and fray in the hinges on poor designs. Tried an external monitor ?

    Clio torque steer

    The first time I pushed mine in 2nd I nearly ended up on the other side of the road, a mix of inexperience, crap tyres and shot trackrods more then likely ! Oh and one of the tyres was at 20 PSI !

    Clio & Corsa

    I've put this one in an older thread but I think it's worth posting again: However I would simply invest in a new sticker to piss him off to no end, something on the lines of "I don't race s*****x corsa's"

    Windows 7 restore....

    In situations like this I would normally try in safe mode to get the data off or do an install of windows over the current partition but without formatting it - then get your data off that way.

    What's the cheapest that's been paid?

    02 PH2 Flamer with 68k on the clock that required paint correction, a new grill and belt's/dephaser doing. Had new tyres all round and almost mint alloys, completely standard. Paid £650 or just over 1k if you include the belts etc.

    Quick one

    Has anybody experienced a dephaser pully that's broken to the point it causes the SERV light to come on ? The thing sounds like a transit and has a rough kick over on the dephaser. I managed to get the light off but as soon as I blip the pedal it comes back on. Code readers not giving me much in...

    Turning over Non start 182 54 plate

    Best of luck with this fella, I've got the exact same issue with the ph1 - checked relays, done continuity tests on the loom. Still no start. Tried relays and new sensors all round.

    jet washed engine like a nob!

    A spray bottle top with a thin straw works well.
