After my issue yesterday with my rocker cover gasket failing, I seemed to have developed a nasty rattle! it happens when the engine hits about 2k rpm, under load or not. its perfectly fine until then. here is a recording of the rattle. (you can hear it at about 4s and again at 6s+) It sounds...

just been towed home by the RAC. Think the head gasket has gone! was in town, doing about 20mph. it started to idle funny (like it was firing on 3cyls. i pull over and it stalls. Try to restart it and eventually it gets going, only for the dodgy turnover and it stalls again. tried to...

hi, was looking to change a head gasket on a valver. it hasnt gone, but is on its way out. I was thinking you could just take the head off and replace the gasket/seals/cam belt/head bolts and put the head back on. maybe even skim the head. But looking through the haynes manual, it says...

Well, im coming up to renew my policy, but as someone crashed into me and wrote my car off im looking to change to a valver. Now, i can get a quote for £975 on my own insurance, thats at 20 with 1yr experience and 1yr ncb. However, as soon as i tell them ive had 2 non fault accidents...

You may have read about my 1.8 RT being grotted by a hit and run moped Im currently trying to put it through the other guys insurance but am worried it could be difficult to get them to pay out to fix my £300 car, so i was toying with the idea of upgrading to a valver! However, aside from...

Ive found me a new bonnet on ebay, except its 200 miles away.. in liverpool Its in the same colour as mine, and ill be damned if i can find another one! Question is, is it possible to send it via a courier? i could drive it, but dont really fancy the 400 mile round trip

Last time i did a brake test (middle of dartmoor, no one else around) I just skidded, meaning my ABS is broken somewhere. The light doesnt come on on the dash, its just as if I have normal brakes. Will this be OK for an MOT?

On my road infact! Saw a lowered white valver and a blue 182 with huge renault sport stickers on it, on Daniels Becoming a clio street ;) These belong to anyone here?

A while ago my reverse lights went Its not the bulbs or the fuses so i think it must be the little switch in the gear box How easy is it to fix this sort of thing? Anyone got any pics of the switch location? tis a mk1

just a quick question, but want to be sure... is there a difference between the mk1 ph1 and the ph2 bonnets? (i know the ph3 is very different :p) want to replace mine and dont want to be caught out!

On saturday morning i left uni for home. I left at about 8am with a car *fully* packed! I did a detour via tewksbury (left from exeter), where i met a few online friends for a rolling road day. we then headed (the wrong way) up the m5 to go to a pub. So there i was, doing 'some' mph when i...
