spot on mate ;)

its normal

strip mine down every year and had no squeeling - bit of copperslip in the right place ;) now running ds at the rear and ds2500 in the front with 2 part discs :D

true - for all the effort to remove the gearbox etc - just have a full clutch kit fitted :D

normal to me :D it will drop some water when working - mainly from the condenser iirc some cars do it more than others if your air con leaks it wont be water it would be oil it drops :D

ds2500 :D kev - you should have tried mine at olivers mount saturday ;)

took enough of us to be spotted :cheers:

looking good kev :cool: pizza in the engine - new one on me :hail:

exactly :approve:

lurvly job well done a credit to you

if the pressure is low it will not turn on - this protects the compressor as the gas carries the lubricating oil

agreed :mad: if they quoted a resonable price they would actually gain business :o

are you sure its a "burning" smell - a/c systems can create a breeding ground for bacteria which makes funny smells if its not used for a while thats why they sell those canisters you let fill the interior with chemicals and put the a/c on recirculate - it draws in the chemicals to the heater...

mmmm thought the a/c compressor clutch is an electromagnetic clutch as it has an electrical feed to it - press the switch and a electrical winding pulls the hub in to engaugement that the reason for the loud "click" when its switched on

just had some 18's done - superb finish - well worth the cost :approve:

superb motor

stuffed battery first - easy to check out then alternator next suspect - easy to check out

exactly far too many on the roads now :nono:

brill pictures and the cars all looked great

they may pass the mot.... hid are not "e" marked or homologated for the use of, so in effect break "construction and use regs" because if they are fitted as standard they must have self level and washers fitted the headlights are not designed for the output of the bulbs and can cause dazzle...

yes you would

check the resistance of the leads with an ohms meter that should narrow down the problem

shame your not closer to me would have liked to given you a hand - i was always curious about this mod engines look very similar - think the 225 cam cover is quite a bit different but the 197 has the under bonnet space - as for gearboxes 225 / 197 are they really the same ?

quite a few issues over poor wheel finish

your so lucky its stunning

not sure on the clio g/box but 4th gear is usually direct drive so if the nosie goes off could be layshaft bearings as 1/2/4 & 5 will drive through the layshaft and hence the increase noise another possibilty could be diff bearings - any wear or play will cause noise on the over run and or under...

put it this way if they were in the wrong order it would either misfire or pop and bang go back to the start and retrace what has been done - as it was not doing it before as said sounds like its got an air leak causing the revving up

strip it down and check it over - see if the piston will push back easily - and caliper slide ok

if its leaking that bad - you will probably need new brake shoes
