going to need more info than that! what car? what diagnostics has been carried out so far? was replacement battery an AGM battery?

speaker interference, alternator or aux tensioner on its way out

will be an injector on that engine if the coil pack and plugs have been ruled out

id say its most likely to be oil leaking onto the clutch, but its always going to be guess work until the box is off. reading between the lines it looks like you have just bought the car and its previously had this work done recently? - If the seller and garage who done the work are decent...

na you can use a different ECU from a different engine shouldn't be a problem

i say early ph1, only because i was led to believe you couldn't mix the key and ECU's but when i tried it, it worked! so assume its because its an early car? or possibly the info online was just wrong! i know on a ph2 you definitely cant mix them as the ECU, UCH and key must match. I changed...

That sounds fairly normal for this time of year, remember if you have the heaters on the thermostat is probably staying closed so the coolant in the rad will be much cooler, get the revs up, stat will open and cool coolant starts entering the engine so the temp sensor will detect that fairly...

You should just be able to get the centre console from a double din car and swap it all over I'd assume?

The ph2 and ph3> clocks both have different connectors, you would need to remove the dash, swap the dash wiring loom and possibly the uch/engine ECU!

Depends on the year of your ph1 I believe. Mine is a 1999 1.2 8v (d7f) and I fitted a 1.6 16v k4m engine, jb3 gearbox and the k4m ECU and it fired straight up on the original 1.2 key. Jb1 and jb3 boxes are very similar I think all jb1 are front starter where jb3 are rear starter

rears would fit but not the fronts the hub bolt spacing is different.

2 years, 8 months and no one's mentioned the wife or asked for pics or anything vulgar, it seems the place has grown up just like the Clio!

Ryobi brushless HP here for me, mine has taken masses of abuse and never left me stuck yet! 20yr old rusty suspension/subframe bolts etc with ease! You could probably get away with one of the lower powered ones just for wheels right enough but this is the one i use...

id start at the thermostat, you would expect the opposite with a stuck open thermostat where the coolant temp would go to normal under load and then drop off again under low load, but on a modern car with radiator airflow flaps etc that can open and close you never know! where are you taking...

Adam Audio T5V / T7V studio monitors /end thread! even after a few years I still feel like they are the biggest bargain of the century for cost vs performance.

as above, seized aux tensioners seem to be the killer of the belts. I've no idea how old the belt is on my van, ill do it next time the engines out, but now that its an older motor and doesn't do many miles, id happily leave and inspect up to 10yrs

it will fit yes, same engine and box as a 1.6 clio

aux belt slipping?

id guess £1500 for a flawless finish on my exclusive was a bargain paint job after reading this!

Welcome to the forum shigeo-san! I absolutely love how polite Japanese people are. Let's see some pictures of that twingo Gordini!

there was loads of us back in the day looking into solutions but no one ever found anything as far as I'm aware, at one point there was hope that a Mondeo tdci HPFP could be fitted, but I don't think anything ever came from it. This was all MK2 bits though, im not sure many people really pushed...

I've had almost all.of my aux pulleys start to fail the last few years, that does sound a similar noise but generally the pulley starts to wobble where that one looks ok. The fact it's due a belt anyway means I'd just replace it all anyway! Aux belt and tensioner long overdue they are 3yrs 36k...

There's a nice dci 106 gordini on eBay the now that would be a nice replacement

If a garage is worried about pressing that out, id be looking for a new garage!

they bolt in, not press

Just grease up the bushes, I had to do it on my wife's as it sounded terrible!

Got to have been on here at some point, it's got our wheels and our rear badge 😂

There is some hilarious CCTV footage of that!
