    Weird rattle in head?

    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

    Stop & Battery Light Flickering

    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

    Keep it OEM, can't be many of these left that haven't been bastardised. Looks like a clean example from the pic ​IMO ofcourse etc..

    Weird rattle in head?

    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?

    Revs hunting / Car cutting out - Possible solution

    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...

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    Forgot to mention, it was full of water. No visible coolant what so ever! Good job it's been sorted now

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    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...

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    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

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    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!

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    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

    Mayo in expansion tank but not under oil cap. Halp me

    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...
