Hello! Another question for everybody! cheers for the help so far. If I bought a 1991 / 1992 16v F7P engine, would it fit straight into my late 1995 16v? are they identical? If so, what is the difference between a mk1 phase 1 and a mk1 phase 2? Cheers! Chris.

ah i see. because my clio is lowered about 60mm ish, and is running on 15s, i cant reallt get under it! Ill have a look later, my engine is now out of the car. I think I know where it is! thanks.

ah, i see. where is it situated on the engine then? Ive only ever replaced the round drivers side one. (bloody expensive that was too! and that was trade price!). Ill give this tip a try then, I remember mine was pretty worn. if it doesnt work too well after a while in operation, then I can...

Thanks Adams, but is it really dificult when its fitted in the car? Is the gearbox likely to knacker up, what is likely to go wrong? its done about 80-90k miles. anything else? Cheers. p.s. what is broke on your clio? gutting isnt it!

Hello Glenn, did you get my pm? Legend, I think that would be possible, but it probably wouldnt look very good if I did it! has anyone tried this?

well, looks like Im stuck with it then! unless I buy a complete aftermarket bumper! Thanks for the link legend. Cheers everybody for replying. Chris.

I am planning on changing the clutch and cambelt whilst the engine is out of the car, is there anything else that would be worth replacing while I can work on it easily? what are the common problems associated with the F7P and 16v box? I dont fancy rebuilding the gearbox, but how easy are...

Excellent, thanks for the tip. How easy is it to change the dog bone when the engine is in the car? If its dificult, I might just fit an uprated one to my car whilst the engine is out. Cheers, Chris.

wow, nobody has replied! Yesterday with my first post ever, I got 4 replies in less than half an hour! I guess there arent any grilles available? or did I post this in the wrong section? Cheers! Chris.

Hello all! just wondering what options there are for my mk1 clio 1995 grille? I know the grille isnt very big, but Im sure there are some styling mods out there? Im a bit bored of the standard grille, but Id like to keep the standard bumper. Cheers! Chris.

Ah! there is a quote button now Im on work pc. On my pc at home, the quote button wasnt there! oh well! Cheers.

yeah, thought as much. not a big problem though, because Ive got the cash to get another engine. I couldnt rebuild this engine for the cost of a replacement one, so it makes sense to buy another one. and Ill get it on the road quicker! Hopefully the bores will be alright after a bit of...

I took out the spark plugs, and turned the engine over on the starter, and the water came out, but then the engine jammed. The problem is, the engine has sat on my sisters drive for 18 months, so it needs a rebuild, even if there is nothing wrong with it. I think Ill be doing a deal with...

Yeah, I thought that. If I bought a replacement engine, I would like to fit it straight in. no messing around. (Id change the clutch and cambelt, as they are such a b**ch to do when the engine is in the car!!!). Then I could look into modding my old engine! Cheers.

Id rather keep the old engine intact, was hoping it would be my next project. would it cost a lot more to buy a complete engine with all ancilliaries then? Cheers.

Cheers Rexy. :)

Thanks Ben. Ill look out for a R19 as well then! How much should I be paying for a complete engine with all ancilliaries then? Im after a lowish mileage one (85k ish) and out of a 95/96 car if poss. Cheers, Chris.

Bloody Hell! 4 Replies in 20 minutes! best forum Ive been on for a while! Cheers everyone. I guess an F7P out of clio is the safest option. at least there is no messing around with rebuilding it etc. 140BHP will do just fine. it was great before. You say that the R19 is the same engine...

Hello all, Ive got a 96 clio 1.8 16v, which I drove through some flood water, and knackered the engine. What is likely to be wrong with it? if the cambelt snapped, would it be the valves or the conrods that would have bent? Ive been quoted £350 for a replacement engine out of a clio, and...
