Pressure he means, not level.

They're just confirmation lights to tell you it's actually dead 😅

You could get another engine for £500 ish but it would probably need belts doing for that price. Then labour on top... You're looking at £1000 minimum. Might be worth seeing what insurance say. Probably a £3.5-4k car privately and £2.5-3k as insurance will see it.

Yeah i'd be gutted too. It will essentially be a write off through insurance unfortunately.

Chances are it's done then. You could get it recovered to a garage and get them to remove the rod caps and check the bearings. Do you have a dash cam, hopefully captured the brick falling off the offending wagon?

Bottom end knocking followed by the engine seizing up. If it made the 5 minute drive, potentially it 'could' be ok.

5 minutes.... It takes seconds to kill an engine from low oil pressure.

Paisley Freight do gearbox pallets from £70... https://www.paisleyfreight.com/

I have this for rear calipers that require winding back... I didn't pay anywhere near the price it seems to be now though 😂 https://www.lasertools.co.uk/product/6329/Brake-Caliper-Rewind-Tool-3-8-inch-drive-4pc And this for 4 pot calipers, which can also be used on single piston too...

Don't need grinding with the shims removed I find. The Winmax in mine do knock when going from forward and reverse as you brake with them removed though 😅

Take them shims out calipers for a bit of movement.

From what I can gather it's a bit easier to rinse, as you don't get the surface film that Autofoam seems to leave.

Running low on Autofoam and wondered whether it's worth trying Touchless next?

Going to try SurfexHD next once my G101 runs out.

I've always cleaned them using G101 at 1:4 Can't see myself paying £10+ for these dedicated tyre cleaners that we're seeing now from the big brands. I'd imagine they'll be very good though.

Anything @imprezaworks uses neat 😂

I'm not sure if that was the actual reason Renault put them in, but it is a consequence when you remove them.

If removed, the seat doesn't slide on the rails as well. It catches on the carpet.

CarPro Essence or Essence+ is also worth a try for an all in one.

Microfibre cutting pads from Lake Country/Meguiars if it's bad paint. Yellow Rupes pad and Sonax Perfect Finish for everything else. Maybe a white Rupes pad if you just want to use a glaze.

Just updated the settings so people shouldn't have to request to view now.

Here is the manual for the Mk3 Clio, start from page 352 for the F4R.

You wouldn't be able to use that if your crank pulley is keyed, unless I'm mistaken.

It may not have loosened, but possibly that the belt tension has probably evened out now? Did you turn the engine over by hand at least 6 times and recheck the tension?

Tensioner doesn't 'look' to be in quite the right position there, but hard to say for certain. Need a straight on look at it or with a mirror.

Just nip them, probably around the same torque as the rocker cover bolts I'd say, so 10-12nm.

If the oil pump has gone, the engine would be knocking it's tits off by now. Does it still run?

Half moon spanners?

That's weak for you 😂
