Am trying to remove my subframe at the moment on my mk1, and am unable to free up the bolts that are at the back of the subframe. I've tried using a long breaker bar, caking them in wd40 overnight. I can understand that a bolt that hasnt been touched in 13 years is going to be a bit of a...

yea i'd say im quite experienced, i've fully re-built the engine thats in my clio now. Just wondered whether the rover engine would be a pig of a job to do, as everything on the clio seems to be. The head will be checked for flatness, and skimmed if need be :) The engine is definately a K...

I know its the wrong section, but am not a member, so can a mod move it (obviously i can't reply thou, but will see what people say) Just wondering if anyone has ever done a headgasket change on a K series rover engine, chap at work has a 214 which needs changing asap, and has offered me the...

Phone has just done it again... but have found a fix, I have to set the phone not to use 3G at all. if it uses 3G it causes it to lose network. Must be vodafone buggering about with the 3G network around my area occasionally i guess. Anyone else had this problem at all?

http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=963 And just buy an external enclosure, great burner, i have 2 in my machine. My mate has one in an external enclosure he bought off of ebay, works a treat

Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with their SE W900 (on vodafone). This has happened twice now, it looks like my phone gets barred from the network, says on the screen "No Network Access" when if it was looking for a network to connect to it would say "Searching". Comes back...

Perfect mate, I remember doing that a few years back when I worked for BAE systems, suprising how much you forget when you don't use it for ages. Nice one :)

Kinda new to outlook, well I use it at work, but thats only for 1 account so its easy. Basically what I want to do is have 2 'Inboxs' 1 for each account, my blueyonder one, and my webspace's one. I'm pretty sure I can do a filter and get it to do it, but its been so long since I played about...

ahh sorry, mistaken you for someone else, sure someone on here runs some gaming servers. Didn't realise there was money to be made from gaming, well playing games that is

I think he runs a hosting company, or something like that :) (correct me if i'm wrong)

its the volvo turbo lump, identical to the F3P Clio 1.8 8v RSi engine. Think I may go with the little bit of wastage, just undo the gaitor and let it come out at a reasonable rate, and have plenty of cardboard on the floor to absorb any that doesnt go into the drip tin, as ive got just under a...

I could do, but after skinning all my knuckles today just trying to undo all the bits like the exhaust downpipe, its just easier to take it out, plus I now have an engine crane, and thought i'd use it seeing as its there. Just easier to have it sitting on the floor with me facing the side I can...

Ahh bitching, thats the problem I can't drain it as the drain bolt in the bottom is done up way too tight, the previous owner decided to round it off, and I don't have a sqaure drive that fits into the middle. The gearbox oil is brand new, and the box and engine are all clean and painted, the...

Hi, Trying to remove my engine as I've got to replace a few things and its just easier with engine out, I want to leave the gearbox in place. I've undone all 4 bolts that hold it to the engine, I know the gearbox is secured at the front by a dowel, and at the back near the starter motor...

All you need is the component lead for the PS2, and an NTSC version of the game. I run it in HD mode on my projector, looks very crisp. Same with the Xbox, but that had to have the eeprom settings changed to make it think its not from the UK as they didn't want us having them options.

Every morning I see a trophy go past me along the link road, near chatham dockyard. I'm always on my pushbike on the way to work. Don't see a cliosport sticker, but that doesn't mean they arent a member. Anyone on here?

Right, just spoken to the bloke again, its 18 years old, made by a company called Viking and has been used 8 times in its lifetime. Anyone ever heard of a company called Viking that used to make cranes, and are they good quality Thought of a good way to test it aswell, i'll take a strap with...

Yea I'll go have a look at it tomorrow, to be honest, as long as its not pissing out fluid from the ram seals i'll no doubt have it, as I've got to get the engine sorted asap

Sorry for it not being a direct car question, but its related to engine work as such. Anyone ever bought a 2nd hand one? Obviously theres not much to go wrong with one, i guess the hydraulic ram can start leaking, or get damaged. Reason I ask is there is someone local to me selling a 2nd...

Just do the valver brake upgrade, really does make a difference. You need the calipers, discs, pads and the caliper bolts for attaching them to the hub assy. Changes the disc size from 239 to 259mm, and does make a big difference to the quite frankly shite standard brakes.

Indeed, that was the colour mine used to me :D if only it didn't get vandelised, I very much doubt it would've been totally resprayed. As for a colour match, I think any good paint place will do a colour match, find a place that supplies the local bodyshops, they'll usually make it up for you...

ouch mate, thats bad, i remember when that first happened, god knows how long ago. I've tried closing the account and opening another, but doesn't work. I have no other cards I can use either, just paid off the credit cards and have closed the accounts. I'll try and see if he'll take a cheque...

You should be able to. Are you looking to change yours so it has ABS then?

yep pretty much. I had a phase 1, and it had a 3 bolt throttle body, and my mate had a phase 1 also, same year, and it had a 2 bolt throttle body. I guess thats why when you look for a suitable Induction kit, it doesn't state what year range, its just a case of looking for yourself.

I do believe it was an optional extra. Thats what the brochure for a Mk1 1.4 RT phase 2 says

it varies, a bit like the suspension strut issue (52 or 54mm spacing).

Pain in the ass paypal!! Just tried to re-open an account with them as a guy on ebay is selling something I need, but only accepts paypal (fair enough). Then when going to add my debit card I get an email saying that I am unable to add the card, as its already being used, and to email paypal...
