given the clutch makes no difference then it can really only be the tyre, wheel, driveshaft or bearing? check the driveshaft hub nut is tight, sure they are like 280nm or something, seen them not torqued properly make odd noises

haha yeah the comments from the neighbours have got a bit boring on the subject! I've tried a few other things but nothing ticks all the boxes as well, and cheaply!

ive had to put a thermostat on every one of mine, first thing i do when i buy one as they never get up to temp properly. New thermostat and coolant flush and they are good as gold again!

What a piece of kit! Credit to you, that looks immaculate

known people to trap a lead under the inlet manifold when refitting and toast the lead (me :ROFLMAO: ) but it seems you have already ruled that out?

Find someone local or a specialist with clip and they will be able to activate it, a dealership will be doing it but its just finding one friendly and interested enough to want to do it, getting a tech to do it wont be an issue as a lot of them are our type of people but its getting through the...

That was my cup on Eibach Pro Lines - sat pretty much standard to me (maybe a tad lower since cups did always look very high at the front) but certainly didn't look "lowered"

been a couple of times when FCS was there 2009 and 2010 I think I was there? always thought it was a pretty cool place if a little disused! used to like watching the BTCC races there on TV

bit extreme taking the entire dash out for a colour change lol

I fixed one of mine with black electrical tape, a full roll over the entire length nice and tight and it almost looked factory lol

Jesus! That would never have been an expensive fix when you had good compression. A decent diagnosis rather than the parts cannon would have been a start

Best sounding exhaust for these imo, in fact with the flat spot issues on others, its probably the only worth while option?!

It depends what your used to, compared to modern stuff with super fast electric PAS, the steering feels heavy, compared to older stuff it will feel lighter!

one of the best mods you can do to them imo, I've done it to every one I've owned, the smoother idle and cold start behaviour is a nice advantage but for me the extra mid range and raised limiter is much nicer!

Yes I did! Removed the main connector from the abs pump, gave it a good clean with contact cleaner, plugged it in and out a few times, blew it out with compressed air and re fitted, was all good after that!

Love this van! - Also reminds me I must get a spare key made for mine!!!

Great buy, next to nothing to go wrong! - even cable throttle! I run about in a ph1 with the same engine, terrifying trying to join the motorway from a short slip road :ROFLMAO:

Couple of jobs carried out this week on the 197. First up was a set of 4x Michelin PS4 - long overdue, never been so glad to get rid of the Landsail budget crap that it came with - totally transformed it as expected! a new lower engine mount and upper engine stabilizer mount, just went genuine...

I'm not sure trading standards cover the Philippines lol he will deliver, he's been running the business for years and years and the rstuner map is still one of the best mods you can do to a mk2 clio RS

tbh Henks service can be slow BUT in my experience he always comes through. The last few I've done I've just bought the RStuner new and his service has been spot on with those

Welcome back!

I done one at work today with a swan neck spanner as I had left my tool at home last time I used it and f**k me its shite when your used to the above tool!

Might actually be a 10mm 😂

no wae a 14mm ye didny. deep 13mm

I wouldn't be starting that until someone has checked it out, did it get a full Aux belt kit at the time they were done?

Something on the timing side of the engine not happy by the sounds of it? Alternator, water pump, tensioner or idler. When was the last time it had its belts done?

that's just the way they were from the factory then everyone stuck eibachs on them!

the box ive got in my van came out a 182 with a short shifter, also crunches 5th, i just stuck a standard shifter back on it

Assuming the engine is good, and the RB shell is good, I don't see how this isn't already in the projects section?!

Very nice, only ph2 172 I've not owned is a Monaco....... Heads to ebay
