if the steering whines wen the wheel is turned, it means the pumps nakered, or there isnt enuff fluid in the system. the leak on my steering, was at the rack end. theres a group of 4 high pressure unions, that fit into the main body of the rack. now ren being smart, decided to make the main body...

nick, ur gunna want the early megane 2litre 16v utpo 98-99 i beleive, before facelift engine or the clio williams lump. i wudnt worry about 32mm valves, cus they cost like 90quid each or watever they r from ren, and not really worth the power "upgrade". keep ur money and spend on more nitrous...

yeah its doing my head in now. ive spent months stripping the car down. had to bin the bendix abs system, as it was nakered. swapped it over to normal servo brakes. the steerign rack was nakered as well, so i did all that while engine was out. puts the engine back in, runs sweet as nut, but...

rite, the non-starting saga continues. a quick recap on the situation; had to take the engine out of the 16v for the third time 2 weeks ago, to sort a powersteerign leak. got that fixed, but as soon as engine was put back in it wudnt crank over. originally wen i connected up the battery, the...

wat about the old supercharged v8s, like dodge chargers and the like, they had ram air staright to the blower on top of the bonnet did they not? i read in evo magazine, the ferrari 550 maranello was designed to use ram air. its v12 engine produces an extra 12bhp(or sumthin like that) from ram...

cheers matey, any particular size gauge of wire?? 15amp stuff? jimbo

anyone know how to hook up a fan over-ride switch for the 16v, so the engine doesnt cook when sat in traffic? jimbo

the reason why tappets get ticky, is because the oil entering them, has to go thru a tiny hole(1-2mm diamter). if the oil dusnt get changed regulalry, then this hole getsa gummed up with crudd, as does the plunger inside. its the build up of oil pressure inside the tappet, that stops it from...

try using an engine flush in the oil. ive used it many times on my valver, and no harm has been done watsoever! try it, mits get rid of sum crudd in them. if that doesnt work, then the head will need dismantling, and the tappets cleaned out, then re-priming with oil. jimbo

yeah, removing the rocker cover is easy. the inlet manifold is a bit more challenging with the head still on. jsut need long extender bars to reach the manifold nuts. wudnt even attempt the exhaust manifold with the head or engine in the car. no access

yeah those williams badges i had made up. 15quid for 4 in silver colour. ive got them on me car as well. looks ace in silver. i used hammerite on the rocker cover and inlet manifold. used hammerite bbq paint on the exhasut manifold, resists upto 500degrees c-soon see if it holds jimbo
