Went down to helston yesterday to see my brother for my birthday...
Had a set of mounts in my boot, so decided to change them ;)
and where better to work
them things are huge!
wont bore you with pics of the actual mount changing
but will show you one of our ghetto...
My engine mounts have go (knew that when i bought the car)
Im getting them swapped next weekend, but was wondering exactly what i need.
Do i just need a set of engine mounts (from GSF/ECP) or do i need any other mounts too (like gearbox?)
Hopefully new mounts will also stop me gear...
being that i attend University in Exeter, i thought it a travesty that I hadn't been for a 'spirited' drive over dartmoor.
So, today (well, yesterday now) I went:
mud from when a Fiat camper van effectivly pushed me off the road :(
look at that front panel alignment! going to sort that out...
Been spending ages stripping my turbines for a refurb and now the time has come to actually paint them
was wondering on colours. after seeing Remedis pics of his white ones, the look good, but dont know if they suit the colour of my car
i've done a photoshop, opinions?

Got myself a set of turbines and they need a refurb.
there are no kurbing marks, just the lacquer is peeling and the paint is bubbling.
I can sand down the face of the wheel no problems but im unsure how to do the 'turbine' bits as they are quite small.
I have a dremel and bought a...
finally got round to taking some pics of my mk1 ph1 1.8 RT
(you can see i was also caught out by the thousands of nats around :()
only mods are 16v mirrors, 16v spoiler and some turbines.
resprayed both bumpers myself (originally had the non-colour coded ones on :o)
last thing i suppose...
Looking at getting some turbines for my mk1.
question is, what can i do with the old steel wheels? are they worth anything if i sell them/is there demand?
dont really want 4x 14" wheels in my shed :)
just picked up my replacement bumper (£25 for bumper/fogs/splitter :D) and am in the middle of spraying it.
now, i've masked off the rubber strip (splitter thingy) at the bottom and the bump strips, but looking at it... should I spray the splitter as well?
Car is quite a light colour (as you...
Just been in to kwik-fit in an attempt to find the problem of my exhaust blowing.
they said that the manifold was loose or something and that my engine mounts have gone (which probably caused the manifold to go)
does this sound likely?
Where can I get engine mounts/manifold done and what sort...
Well, a few months ago I got my new key, so I now have RCL :)
however the alarm wasnt activating, so i looked in the engine bay, found the alarm and noticed I have to put a key in and turn it to 'on'
however the key wont go in. its as if the alarm has been keyed :(
is there anthing I can do...
Think this is the right sub forum to post in :)
I came back from uni today ~ 220 miles. i sat at about 75-80mph most of the way (few sections of roadworks).
however, this took an entire tank of petrol! the light came on just as i got home! normally it takes just over half.
Before i left, i...
The speedo on my mk1 is very erratic. it 'shakes' a lot. if im doing 30, it will shake between 27ish and 33ish. this is fairly annoying :(
is there anything i can do to fix it?
my heater has stopped working, probably the heater matrix, but i want to test the thermostat before.
however, i cannot find it!
Engine is an F3P one
haynes manual says it should be under the distributor cap ?!
Ive noticed neither of my reverse lights are working! makes parellel parking in traffic interesting :p
I've checked all the fuses and the bulbs and they're fine.
I've also been told that it might be the connection in the gearbox? is this an easy/cheap thing to sort?
what else could it be?

Have just put up 2x elec MK1 RT mirrors
Also, a Williams Front bumper

Hi,
I'm after a new airbox for my mk1 ph1 clio 1.8RT
Went to the scrappy yesterday and found an airbox from a mk1 clio 1.9D.
Now, to me, they look the same, but are they?
Cheers :)
I'm re-colour coding my 1.8rt and i'm currently browsing the 'bay for bumpers
my question is, will a valver/williams rear bumper fit the rt? what about the front?
cheers :D
i think this is the right forum :o
I need a front wing resprayed (picked one up from a breakers for £15)
I just need to know the colour of my car!
can anyone help as to what colour (and code! :D) it is!
it's meant to have the code on the vin plate, but the part that has it on, has been...
hi, new member here :)
recently bought myself a mk1 1.8 clio :D
on the right side instrament panel - where the abs light is etc - there is a light marked 'EXC', was just wondering what it was for?
there is also another above it, that i have no idea what its for, will try to get a pic up (damn...
