I’ve just bought a Mk2 1.5DCi. 2005 (55) 117k 4 owners (2 were husband and wife) Full service history Brilliant condition inside and out. The biggest selling point to me also was NON Sunroof. It was up for £999, I gave £900. I sold my ruined Mk2 1.2 for £140 then. So it cost me £760. The...

Perfect ???? Thank you!

Cheers ? so assuming the choice is just vented and non vented?

Good little thread. I’ve recently bought a DCi myself. I’m enjoying driving it! They’re fun things. I’m enjoying mine so much too, that I am also going to be putting some 1*2 stuff on it. They’re perfect daily drivers. Mine also needs discs/pads - which ones did you buy from ECP? There’s 2...

There’s a blue one on the ring too, with vids

I refuse to buy a Clio with a sunroof lol. Mines showing 71.4mpg after 600 miles of commuting. Brilliant little cars. Mines taking slightly longer to start start first thing in the morning, but hardly noticeable - full tank of shell Vpower diesel and redex next to give the injectors etc a bit...

I’ll be keeping this thread updated as the progress slowly continues. I have found out that this is actually the DCI 68 Campus model! At first it quizzed me how (what I thought was a 65) a 65 had an intercooler on it, then just assuming the car had been messed with. A 68 Campus actually...

Fantastic @GrahamS ? The videos I’ve seen with setting the tensioner etc correctly. That put me off. I think I’ll give this a go now ? cheers buddy!

Graham, Mine has a/c! Could you expand on how it’s easier please. It sounds like I’m going to have to give this a go myself. :)

@roland rat I believe he is ^ ? @197.

There’s some on eBay iirc

What the heck are you doing with this now? Breaking it!? Lol @roland rat

I’ve never really done a cambelt, because of how easy it is to mess an engine up. How many hours do you think it would take as a first attempt?

Ahhhh, now you’ve said that. I might have to look into it, if it’s not as bad as a 172 Have you seen any guides to read? Or a YouTube vid?

Talking of cambelts... mines overdue on the DCI I’ve bought. Does anyone have any idea how much i should be paying for a cambelt/aux belt and waterpump change? Cambelt is the only thing I won’t change myself.

@SharkyUK I was actually thinking what you’ve written above. CS is a brilliant site and an honest/helpful one too, but I think the honesty is making it sound like your on trial... You know what your plans are and your determined to get this built, which is brilliant. I think you should keep...

I’d be just buying another trophy at this stage, a standard, unmodified one. Possibly a higher mileage one, that you could use without any resale value worries. Then just drive it everyday and get your years of missed enjoyment back. Then I’d just break this current one and keep any spares...

Anyone after a DCi 100 intercooler set up? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283238872394

I thought 2018 might have been the year it would have surfaced.. I genuinely take my hat off to you, for the patience you have.

I’ll have a look today :)

That’s a DCi!? Sounds like a 172! Lol Does anyone have more info on the 68 DCi? If it’s got the 100 box and intercooler, is there a chance it’ll have the injectors on a lower map?

Ohhhh! This is fantastic news! I’ve just checked and mine is a campus 68 ?

I’d imagine they’d be too small to go into a Mk3

Can anyone confirm if the later 65’s came with an intercooler? I’ve bought a 55 plate 65 DCi and it’s got an intercooler on it. A standard plastic one? I didn’t think they did.

I took the car for a little spin tonight, to test it a little more. Very surprised at the figures.

Evening all, I thought I’d start a thread on this car, due to it actually being a good example and a lucky find (IMO) Bit of background info: I’m currently in the middle of renovating an old cottage, which has meant I was enjoying a 1.2 Clio Bangernomics for tip runs and carrying materials...

It was a great little find tbh, so I had to snap it up. Yup, it’s a 65. Does anyone know if cruise control is a straight forward retrofit?

Just picked mine up today ? non-sunroof model thankfully. I wouldn’t have gone and viewed it otherwise. 2005 (55) 4 owners(2 were husband and then wife) , 117k Almost full service history, minus cambelt, so I’m getting that sorted ASAP. Love it already. Going to change it to 182 interior also.,

The Mk2 DCi’s are becoming quite hard to get hold of now, eBay seems to be cluttered with cheap Mk3’s now. I’m going to view a mk2 DCI Wednesday- hoping it’s a good one.
