Was a nice day so i decided to go the whole hog as i could see major tag spots and the paintwork wasnt as smooth as it was previously.
So whipped out the clay ready for doing the car.
Now this is my method of doing it.

My handbrake is loosening off again, and i asked a few people with mark 1 clios and a few of them are having the same problem.
Basically the handbrake goes slack at the rear as inside the drum, the winder is spinning off and becoming loose. Now is there a solution anyone found, or is it a just...
I fancy upgrading my pads, mostly because ive not changed them in the "time" i have had the car.
So basically was wondering what is the better pad to go for.
Do i go for EBC or just go for standard OEM pads again?
Edit - What is the part number for EBCs Lucas Mark 1 1.2L pads?
I fancy a change from my standard system.
Small inward rolled exhaust would suit nicely i think. Shouldnt be to loud but gives a nice purr.
Any suggestions?
At last, my clio started firing on all 4 cylinders and didnt sound like a big diesel anymore.
The new head is finally on and the car works a treat.
Damn you tapets. :boring:

Cant figure out why.
Basically ive had the head off, head skimmed, put it all back together, adjusted the timing so IT IS correct. Now, cylinder 1 refuses to fire.
What ive already done is changed HT lead, changed Coil Pack, changed spark plug.
Tapets were done while the head was off, so i...
The car obviously had the head skimmed on saturday, and the engine rebuilding has been coming along nicely.
Now the car had a problem on the timing, was out by one tooth, so, off came the belt and tensioner. Aligned the top dead centre on both the oil pump and the crackshaft. Now putting the...
Hello all,

What you think? Possible price i thought was a bit higher than per usual 172s.
Does the exclusive gain this price however?
Im kind of interested in this one at the moment.
Im without a car now until Saturday, not so fun.
Driving along the motorway, not gunning it, driving with the lady friend in the passenger seat, so was driving alright. Noticed my temp gauge just going up and up. Pulled over to the hard shoulder and opened bonnet, there was water everywhere. :(...

My friend has a Mark 2 phase 2, 1.4 16v dynamique.
Now, she has a flat tyre and she bought the car off Arnold Shark and she has just realised that she cant get the wheel off, due to having no locking nut key.
Is there anyway to get a key to fit this, otherwise we are going to hammer on a big...

This is a question ive been asking myself for the past two weeks.

Read a few things for the Mark 1 D-type engine about upgrading the original throttlebody with the Laguna 1.8 8V Throttlebody.
What gains and what do i expect from this?
What else would i need to do to achieve this?
Thanks.
