    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    Yep, in part people watch to see how they can do stuff with hobby grade tools, soon as they started with needlessly complex solutions to simple problems I lose all interest.

    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    I assume they are getting decent money to be stringing this out for so long.

    CNC thread

    Geomagic DX is the software you’d want for that but it’s hella expensive. It’s based on SW so not sure if some of the tools would translate.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    I think a lot of companies aren’t actually hiring either, I know we have several job ads listed for jobs that don’t really exist. Pretty sure the company just wants cv’s on file for when things pick up and they do need to hire.

    Mobile Phone Contract Thread.

    Don’t know if it’s my phone but EE’s signal has fallen off a cliff recently.

    Recommend me some Headphones

    Looking at some Sonys is the XM5 worth the extra £80 - £100 over the XM4’s?

    Fuel pump not always priming

    Just buy a second hand unit off eBay they only go for £20 or so. A hole in the fuel lines can also cause this so have a good check of the pipes whilst it’s running too.

    Clio 1.2 16v dynamique 04 plate oil caused clutch to fail

    Rocker cover probably needs resealing, at that mileage probably due a valve adjustment whilst your at it too.

    Power Tool Perverts

    Yeah I guess there is that. Tho I’ve got the 1/2 version and tbh I hardly ever use it. The stubby’s such a good tool, I’m always impressed at how much power it has, cracked off some thread locked caliper bolts today no issues.

    Not sure the 18v impact adds much the 12v stubby doesn’t tbh.

    Ugo the pink shitbox

    Didn’t get any pictures because of dodging the rain but changed the front discs and pads on this today. I really should have noticed this earlier but as you can see in this picture the last owner had fitted rear discs to the front. I was mm away from the pads touching and having no brakes, so...

    2011 Clio WONT CRANK

    Put a jump lead on the battery negative to somewhere on the engine block will tell you if it’s an earth fault. Immobiliser light flashing at all?

    Getting my 182 through Emissions

    The cheap cats always end up failing, best bet is to just keep it in the garage for an mot then put a decat back in afterwards.

    Cheapest Cliosport You Have Bought

    £400 in 2021 I actually could’ve got it for free but I felt bad for the old dear getting rid of it.

    Tapping from left had side of engine

    What version of the 1.2 engine is this? The area you’ve circled in white above is the water pump.

    How terminal is this..... aux belt jumped the cam belt

    Difficult to answer, fix the timing then compression test if you don’t want to pull it apart straightaway.

    Mobile Phone Contract Thread.

    If you want decent coverage and speeds you pretty much have to be on EE’s network, they basically have a monopoly at this point.

    Is it too good to Strip or sell

    Unfortunately to most folks it’s just a Clio and finding decent buyers is few and far between. As Kyle mentioned you will get a lot of people messing you about I dunno if it’s because Clio’s are cheap but some of them are thick as s**t as well. Once had a guy turn up on a moped to pick up a...

    Is it too good to Strip or sell

    Having stripped a few sports over the years the demand for parts other than the running gear is generally quite low, you’d struggle to give it away a lot of the time. I personally don’t think it’s worth the hassle to strip it given it doesn’t have any of the high value components on the sports.

    Well for £15 I can’t lose. :ROFLMAO:

    Power Tool Perverts

    It’s the mk3 shitter and I’d have to take the whole exhaust off as it’s one piece and the rear brake lines which is a hassle just to swap the pump. If it was a mk2 it’d be a piece of piss to change I cannot fathom why Renault decided to make the access hole smaller on the mk3. Bloody French. I...

    Power Tool Perverts

    Anybody used a reasonably cheap metal sheer like below? The fuel pumps messing me around on the mk3 and Renault in there infinite wisdom decided it was a tank off job to replace. Which I cba with so I’m just going to cut the access hole larger but want something that’s not going to spark...

    Misfire

    Sounds like you need to find a better mechanic tbh.
  24. botfch

    Spark plug seals.

    I assume it’s a 1.2 if so they are just press fit in so you should be able to pry them out if your careful enough.

    White smoke from Exhaust

    Might want to post what car your talking about. Did you replace the turbo oil feed pipes & oil when you changed the turbo?

    Head Rebuild

    I assume he’s done a leak down test to confirm the valves the likley issue?

    Misfire

    Ah then it’s probably an injector, you can swap the injector for cylinder 4 to another cylinder and see if the misfire moves to confirm that’s the issue.

    Misfire

    Random or multiple misfires across cylinders. No codes with cylinder number as well?

    Losing power, slowing down.

    Likely the lambda sensor in front of the cat it controls fuel trim. The sensor after the cat is there to see if the cats working and doesn’t effect fueling.
