I was looking for a new daily after slumming it in a £200 ford Ka. Saw a Cup come up on Copart with a damaged drivers door. Cost me £700 the rest is and or was a blur ?

Nailed it ?

Suspension wise i'd have a look at koni adjustables ?

Ive played this game. Bought all the locking wheel nut removal tools none came close to working. Neither did the socket trick. Ended up searching ebay for a secondhand locking key which was a huge ball ache but found one after about a week. If you put up a pic of your locking nut i might be...

If your engine is toast ive got a bottom end you can buy. just putting it out there ?

Did you change the dephaser? ?

Loose earth? Creates all kinds of inconstant electrical faults.

MY 200 Cup was a firmer ride than my 182 on coilovers. Great when you push on but pretty annoying for the 99% of time you're not. Still a great car.

People are saying £18k is alot for a Clio but i dont think its anywhere near enough for a project like this. Take a look at the Alphaholics GTR £230,000 (3000 hours of labour) https://www.alfaholics.com/gta-r/ Or Eagle E Type £300k+ (4000 hours labour) https://www.eaglegb.com/36/eagle-etypes...

I believe that pipe vents excess crank pressure. It's common to see oil here. You could fit an oil catch can or a simple breather like this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T2YDQV0/?tag=cliospnet01-21 You would need to measure the tube as that's just an example.

The changes in Ph on the Mk2 where body and interior related. They won't have changed the induction setup on the k4m so you are looking for any setup that claims to fit a Mk2 1.6 16v You could even just measure the oval and buy a section of silicone hose a couple of jubilee clips and a generic...

Yea thats what i had.. what info you after

Westfield ?

Sounds like the linkage has just come apart. Ideally get the car on axle stands, re-attach the gear linkage by hand and do up the 13mm bolt. the gearstick needs to be centred otherwise you wont be able to select all the gears.

CS politics aside I'd be interested in seeing the difference between flywheels should a video ever come to fruition.

I bought a K&N for my 1.6 16v it was a 53 plate but had the odd shaped inlet.

Like the idea of something different but the writing looks gash IMO any mention of price?

I also pondered steering wheels and seats today. Cant decide whether i need either and or both. I like the OMP WRC black suede and seatwise i kinda like the Mirco GT in grey.

I heard the injectors were the limiting factor. No obvious upgrade and custom injectors cost a pretty penny by all accounts

Have you missed an earth strap? My car was doing this it had a loose earth.

Don't forget to charge them £12 for postage ?

You can't overfill. Just top it up until it starts to dribble out of the hole. Easiest to do with the car on the floor and the bumper off.

Is the Earth on the back of the gearbox still connected? It's under air box. Mine worked itself loose and it stopped the car from running.

No my Cup doesn't have an RS stamped inlet.

From personal experience I'd put it down to the joys of French car ownership. If it's not visibly coming from the rocker cover gasket and its def not mayo on the dip stick I'd suggest it could be losing oil through the valve stem oil seals? worth looking to see if your air intake shows...

Slightly different vehicle but exactly the same symptoms. We had this with a lorry at work it turned out to be a bent/buckled wheel causing the problem.

Either of them have any time left on the cambelt? But 172 would be my choice given the info available.

He was the guy that invented the red thing that dispensed numbered tickets in supermarkets in the.. 80s?

Just done mine. I got the exhaust cam set perfectly then with the horse shoe put the timing slightly out but when you tighten it up it settles in the right position. I spent a loooooong time before I got it where I was happy but had fun doing it.
