    mk2 phase 1 Cylinder Head

    1.2 8 valve d7f 1.2 16 valve d4f to remove the head on a 1.2 wouldnt take long at all (even the 16v). to put a set of valves in should be cheap enough if its a honest garage. Never known a 1.2 to damage a piston when a cam belt breaks as the valves take all the shock. To remove/fit head...

    Auto Lights and Auto Rear Wiper

    on normal clios the front wipers must be on for the reverse auto wiper to come on. Not sure about ones with auto front wipers,i assume the stalk must be at least in the auto position. the sensor that detects rain will only cut in the front wipers not the rear auto lights only control main...

    I have been Slighty stupid

    if you have only fitted braided hoses then if you changed them quick you wont have bled the brake circuit dry. If so open the nipple and let it run/drip out on its own until no air bubbles are visible. If you have only got to get the air out of the braided hose and the caliper this will work.

    Aux Belt, Alternator Belt

    sort this asap as if it shreds it will go straight into the cambelt and that will cause some damage. ensure the lower aux belt idler is changed as that often starts getting noisy.

    Is the garage taking the p*ss? clutch question

    doubtful its the clutch. if its a gen cable then the pedal rachet is probably faulty. now its a new cable the ratchet will have reset in a different place eg on a section of worn teeth.
