Ok I get the reading form the oil guage (its a clio 1.8 16v not 1.4)
It stalled first time when I had almost stopped maybe 10 - 15 mph and the clutch had just gone down. After that you would have to start it with the foot on the pedal cos it would die straight away. I got towed to a garage...
Hi
I have just got my engine transplant done in my clio 16v!
Drove it on a 10 mile thrash and then slowed down for a round about. As soon as the clutch went in the revs just dropped to 0 and of course made it stall. I then tried to start it with no luck! few mins later I got it going...
V gd :D
Got a quote for my next car which I am getting in a couple of weeks:

18 years old
1145.40!
Valver last year was 2197.60!
Brun I did get the actual pipe from renault but it was leaking badly! so I guess buying another one aint going to work + its a right cow to fit.
Its the pipe that goes from the top of the steering rack (behind the downpipe) which then later connects back onto the rack (about 8 inchs long) and...
Hi
Recently I got a new engine fitted to my car. In the process of the old engine coming out we split the power steering pipe on the rack. We replaced the bent pipe with a new pipe and then put the engine back in to find that the pipe leaked badly from the top of the union. We have cut the...
Nothing really went wrong.
What was going to go wrong v soon was:
Clutch (??) Basiclly have a brand new clutch on engine I bought for the car + got receipts + service book.
Oil pump (183.00 for part from renault which is the only place I could get it from)
Water pump 26.00 (60 from...
This is what I done when the pipe went on my clio 16v.
(This was the high pressure hose but I think they run the same sort of course)
1: Take the fuel pump fuse out and turn the car over a couple of times (this should depressure the fuel system) or just put a towel over the injector when...

So pissed off!

They made me go in to pay for the parts b4 they would order them! I have no car so I had to get a m8 to go! They phone to say we messed up the...
Not sure if the 1.2's have: Electric windows, power steering, remote central locking, fogs, switches etc?
Is that correct? correct me if I am wrong plz.
Is the maxim not more to insure? Not sure tbh.
1.2 or 1.4 is your best bet...
The 1.2's are pritty rapid for the size of engine.... would most likly beat alot of other 1.2's.
Get insurance quotes + keep an eye out for both if insurance is ok with the 1.4.
Anyway gd luck
Yea took alot of work! trust me! and I am not minted and my dad didnt pay for insurance etc.
Just I feel the 1.4 will serve you better and will not cost to much extra! but check this out tho.
Anyone know the diff in bhp?
Phase 1 and 2 where 80 bhp on the 1.4 and then went to 75 on the...
I sort of done both in one but had a higher wage then 375 a month. I saved up b4 I was 17 and then bought a clio 16v! which is a b**ch to insure but just managed with mods ontop. I then learnt to drive in it and passed my test in it + modded it a bit more. The good thing is I am not looking to...
Tbh I would leave that one alone.... but by all means if its local why not look at it. Just dont rush Like others say looks like its been ragged + not looked after + has damage.
You can pick up a decent 1.2 for pritty gd money now with gd service history.
Would you not prefer buying a...
