Hoping its just a dephaser. Appears to be some fresh oil on inside of o/s engine mount cover that surround the dephaser. Possibly s**t it's pants? I know it hasn't been changed in a while
I'd check alternator wire coming off on top like Coleman said. When my car was pissing about the other day the brake and and lights were going mental. Found the cable had worked itself off
It only makes a noise on idle, if you raise the revs a touch its fine. Car drives fine and not down on power. I've removed the little rubber blanking cap next to the TB to raise the idle slightly and sounds fine now. Any issues keeping this uncapped?
Engine has recently started making an odd noise. Can't see or feel anything loose. Any ideas? Here's a video that could help. Cheers

Thought I should share what I have done to fix my problem. I, like some fellow CSers, have had trouble with the revs hunting and the car cutting out randomly and intermittently. After a rather embarrassing cut out in the middle of [THE TOWN] after much rev hunting whilst I was personally hunting...
Similar process on both cars just had to take the front off mine for better access.
Remove lower hose to radiator and catch coolant in a bowl. I found using a pair of needle nose molegrips easier than regular ones.
When no more comes out, removed bleed screw on n/s of thermostat housing and...
Quick Update. I've been down the dealers and picked up a case of coolant. Thought I'd fix the small leak in my radiator at the same time. The wife's is all done and dusted now. Ordered a new expansion tank to fit later but all good for now
Sounds about right, looking through the service history it doesn't look like its ever had a full coolant change. I'll get down the dealership in the morrow y0!
Car is used daily to get to work about 35 mile round trip. No idea what coolant is in there at the moment. Hasn't been changed since we got the car about a year ago. Best bet is to flush it and replace I think
As title, my wife's clio '53 plate 1.6 16v (dynamique?) has the dreaded mayo of doom in the coolant expansion tank. It's stuck around the top of the tank only. Immediately looked under the oil cap to confirm knackered head gasket but its fine under there. Not a single drop of mayo. What could...
Today has been a good day. My front garden has been completed, the sun is shining, I've cleaned the Gape Mobile and I had a double yolker in my bad ass breakfast roll I made this morning. Let the good times roll yo.
Next steps: Solero Exotic and white wine spritzer on the sun lounger of...
DK beat me to it! So I'll just give him a plus 100 for saving me typing all that.
Also curious to know what exactly are you using this quantity of servers for?
