Cheers sami :) I've had my nissan in bits with turbo's in and out, full suspension done, boost controllers wired up, brake conversions etc, so I'm not afraid to get hands dirty :) Will take a look at resistor tomorrow for the blower. The hand brake actually is not working very well so that...

lol, not gonna happen....:eek: Matthew

So finally picked up the Mk1 Ph1 1.8 16v today in Exeter. Probs so far> 1) Handbrake light sometimes comes on/stays on (faulty switch?) 2) Blower not working at all, heat, but not air movement, fuse fine (common prob?) 3) PAS a little noisey at times, nothing major. 4) Seems underpowered for...

Hope the mods don't mind (and this is a question to you guys as well, so input needed :) ), I put this here as a discussion, not just on interiors. It seems that there are not any Mk1 1.8 16v dials in proper indiglo out there, so I have asked about getting some made up. The response was...

So basically noone does indiglos for the mk1? (cos they are LED :( ) I actually have some 200sx indiglos in front of me now, only cost £45 for the set! They are awesome mod :) Shame none for the mk1 though :( Matthew

Thankyou guys :) I did feel guilty after posting and promptly used the search function:D Matthew

Just wandering if i can use the original mk1 ph1 1.8 16v stereo controls (on steering column) with another stereo, and if so what brand/model ? Would keep the car very clean looking that way :) Matthew

Well iI did bring some real camo Duck tape back with me from the states, but I would rather do the job properly and get a new seal and gears and have a nice functioning electric sunroof :) It a pretty nice exampe of a mk1, so would like to try and maintain it. Matthew

Anyone know rough price of these parts? Matthew

No option there for Mk1 clio :dapprove: Matthew

I once (for some bizarre reason and in my naivity of youth) put a metal hose tubing to my MG Metro Turbo's turbo intake. All was fine until I finally discovered that the tights had been sucked into the turbo and was slowly dragging in the metal houses (uncoiling it) with it! I do not...

Hi guys, The sunroof on my soon-to-be mk1 ph1 1.8 16v would not close on the testing. The owner has since closed it manually, but I wish to fix it so I can use it. The sunroof motor is still runs perfectly on it, but apparently it seems to be some gears/cogs have worn out. Are replacement...

Which sections do you want to replace (subframes, tie bars, ARB bushes?) Why are they considered bad? On any car i have owned the only downside has been additional road/RWD diff noise transmitted and a *slightly* harsher ride. The benefits are better, more accurate turn in and control...

This club sounds better each time I come on :) Matthew

Hi guys, Should be picking up my Mk1 Ph1 1.8 16v clio on sunday or monday with luck. Just wondering what the cost of a basic rebuild on these engines is ? (Bore/hone/rings/pistons/new head gasket/oil seals etc) Matthew

Just an update. Viewed the mk1 ph1 1.8 16v last night and will pick it up either sunday or monday with luck. The cars handling seems very stable, I don't think it will need the dampers changing yet, but my fiancee has already said I could spend a bit of money if I wanted :cool: I think...

Yup was looking at k-tec yesterday. They seem to know what they are doing judging from the components they sell/produce. To be honest my 200sx makes my fiancee 'uncomfortable' as it is harsh ride with circuit coil-overs and very low seating and slippy leather. A slightly more firm than...

Thankyou guys :) Matthew p.s. Yes i'm at work... :rolleyes:

Thankyou :) Getting pretty excited about viewing the clio tonight. At 29 I'm not sure why! Matthew (Thanks for the move.. wasn't sure where to post first :D)

Hi :) *Hopefully* getting a Mk1 ph1 1.8 16v (1993) in a few days time (viewing it tonight). Upto now I have run been running a 250bhp+ Nissan 200sx Touring 1998 S14a, so if I sound like i'm ever on my high horse.. just gimme a slap lol. I have owned in the past minis of all sorts, metros...
