    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Do get a bit of white smoke when booting it and changing gear but tbh i think they are all like that. Drives great and starts straight away every time, even in the cold.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Lol. I think injectors are spot on tbh mate. My old dci had the glow plug lights fault and would loose power at 3k revs etc but this one is fine running wise.

    Would the injector cause the camshaft sensor to flag up on eml? I thought injectors normally brought up the squiggly light on the dash, which hasnt came one. The only warning light is the eml for camshaft.

    Will check with Geordie, but im sure he will have done it the right way.

    Yes mate, waterpump was replaced too. All genuine renault parts used.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Im not sure mate. A few people have mentioned this. You mean angle torquing it? Its back up on axle stands now stripped down ready for the timing to be checked during the week.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Im clueless as to what the problem is. Timing is getting checked next week. If it isn't the timing then it looks like its time for the scrap yard. Perfect timing for this to happen just after i had finished doing everything that needed to be done!

    Dci engine suddenly went really loud and camshaft eml on

    Se Sensor is in properly mate. Its ran perfect for 2 weeks which makes it all even stranger. Its still running, just making the horrific loud noise.

    Dci engine suddenly went really loud and camshaft eml on

    I drove home 20 miles, gave it some down a slip road to join a main road and then turned off the main road onto a 30mph road and could hear a loud ticking / knocking noise. I realised this was my car which has always been really smooth and quiet, especially for a dci. If i dip the clutch it...

    Cup brake light

    I did it through a website, but used a credit card so hopefully getting it back.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Less than a mile away from home earlier, the engine starting making a horrif loud noise. With the clutch in you could hear it but not as much, and when in gear / driving or revving it sounds really bad. Sort of loud ticking / knocking type noise. I have plugged it in just to see if anything...

    Yea, the SET comes on the display, and the green cruise light, or orange speed limiter light, ligts up too on the dash. But the + - and R O buttoms on the steering wheel do nothing. I have tried this at 60mph as i know it doesnt activate below 20mph.

    Cup brake light

    I ordered 2 from a frenchcar parts site. I then got no confirmation email and the bank statement shows Singapore payment. Today i recieved a pair of fake Ray Bans in the post from China in exchange for the £79 i paid haha! Googled it and its a cloned scam website. Loads of people have ordered...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    I find it strange why this has the very basic spec spoiler on it, yet its been colour coded. Dont understand why it wouldnt have came with the dynamique spoiler when everything else is top spec. I have found out the cruise control doesnt work. Not a massive issue but it would be nice to have...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Its hard to find one in the same colour mate.theres one on ebay for £40 but im not spending a penny on this unless it is essential / maintenance to keep it running. This is simply my daily commute car to keep the miles off the 182.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Bit of a pathetic update to even bother making but the rear number plate light holder arrived in the post today. I wouldnt of bothered changing it but it didnt work at all so was an essential buy. Same as I did with the mats, the new one went on the 182, and the one from the 182 has gone on the...

    Easiest clay to use?

    You are correct to assume mate. Even kept dipping it into the hot bucket too, which did help soften it up a bit.

    Easiest clay to use?

    I ended up getting the bilt hamber, in regular. It was £11 for a 200g which is really cheap when compared to other brands and as people had said, it can be used with just water which saves even more cash. I would say though, it was very stiff and difficult to mould, although it was cold...

    How often do you change your gearbox oil?

    Theres some 75 80 comma box oil on ebay in a 5ltr bottle for £22 posted. Cheapest i have found, and although not the beat im sure its acceptable for the box.

    Was going to put it up for £3k tbh . It has been machine polished now remember, plus it is a rare model...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    I bought a poorboys DA on here last year for the 182 and was waiting for decent weather to try it out. I have wanted to have a go at machine polishing for years but never got round to buying one and the amount of different pads and products has always confused me and put me off a little. After...

    2 pannels in with the da - am I doing it right?

    It really is a nice colour mate. Sometimes looks a matt purple but then when the sun hits it the blue flake comes out.

    2 pannels in with the da - am I doing it right?

    No mate i dont, its the only thing i dont have. Will it matter that I havnt done that? Not that im bothered on this but i will make sure I have some for when I do the 182.
