You were turned long ago, you just didn't realise it ;)

Because not real man :P

Right, I've sourced the leak. Where the hose attaches to the bottom of the radiator is soaked, problem is I'm not sure if it's the hose or the radiator at fault because the bottom of the radiator is wet too. Is there anyway of testing the radiator for leaks without removing it?

Ahhh cheers mate, I'll check that over.

Yeahhh, was the 3rd time I've done it this morning. Hard to put a figure on how much I'm losing cos it can vary. Roughly I'd say I'm having to top up from the min to the max line on a weekly basis but took the car out for blast last night and it managed to loose that amount (from the max line...

Nope, no puddles and everywhere is completely dry.

Had a search around the forum but couldn't really find a definitive answer. I seem to be losing/using quite a bit of coolant, there's no visible signs of leaks, checked all around the hoses, around the water pump area and everywhere is dry. Next thought was possible headgasket failure but...

I'll probably come a long. Think I've fell off the mailing list for the NW meets since my name change.

Looks like you're missing the top hat that sits on the spring.

LOL! No matter how much of a stupid face I'm pulling, I'll never ever be able to mimic that ph-1 front end :P

Great pics Joey, although I wish you'd stop taking pics of me while I've got daft expressions on my face. lol

Depends how unlucky you've been really, worst case scenario is it's hit the cambelt as it's snapped and you've got bent valves. When you get a chance try and turn the engine over by hand, if it's locked solid it's going to be an expensive do unfortunately.

LOL at JonG getting paranoid about his PAS fluid after seeing what happened to mine :P

Lol. It's the 100k curse coming to haunt me again. All my cars try and kill themselves before they hit that magical number. Best quote of the night has to be the AA blokes though, the one about the Kebabs ;) AA Bloke: "where you from mate?" Rhys: "Failsworth" AA bloke: "oh they only nick...

Good meet this, shame my car decided to rid it's self of it's PAS fluid but the AA's mans bodge got me home. Cheers for hanging back while the car was sorted lads, much appreciated :)

Lol very true, there's some very bizarre things gone on when they built the ph-1s, never had the pleasure of working on a mk1 so I can't comment on that :P

Lol, such an after thought from Renault. What's their actual purpose anyway? Just heat protection?

Ahh good stuff, they look awful anyway lol. cheers mate :)

Not sure how to describe what I'm on about but it's the square foam thing that covers part of the aircon pipes. It's located at the top left of the engine bay near the brake fluid reservoir. Is it vital it's there? Mine has finally ripped off after messing around with the brake fluid reservoir.

Also something I've learnt from experience. When it comes to spraying the wheels, test the spray can to make sure the nozzle works properly before going anywhere near the wheels with it. Nothing worse when it dribbles blobs of paint all over the wheel when you've spend ages prepping :|

How much is it moving? Alot? I had slight play due to a knackered tie rod but yours could be down to a loose/knackered Track Rod End also.

Might venture down to this. 1. Fastdanbar 2. Martinlird 3. XxHarDinGxX 4. Rhys 5. Jonff

Just be prepared to have sore fingers afterwards if you do them yourself lol. Sanding wheels by hand is a slow boring process. I;ve done two sets of wheels with a rattle can now and they've come out decent enough.

Really taken a liking to 200's in RB lately. As Gally says though the black breaks it up and with that bit colour coded I'm not keen.

Yeahh I think you're right. I've seen 12-15nm quoted a lot in various threads on here in regards to the sump bolts

Thanks alot mate :)

Just after the bolt sequence diagram for the oil sump. I came across it last night but forgot to save it and now I can't find it. lol If someone could post it up for me it'd be much appreciated.

Who: Jonff Where: Krispy Kremes What: Special Bus (ph-1 172)

You'd have to ask special bus that tbh. I just sit in the drivers sit and what ever happens has nothing to do with me ;)

The meet is at kk's isn't it? I hope so cos my car refuses to go anywhere else
