also if it is an engine/gearbox mount would it make sense that it makes a clunk when hitting a bump in the road?

I checked that earlier and i dont think it moves all that far, someone on clio16valver suggested checking the mount under the battery, if i take the battery and battery tray out what am i looking for? How will i tell if its shagged?

Is this the mount thats is up at high level on the left of the bay?

not really mate, i grabbed the wheel when it was off the ground and tried to move it up and down to see if it was the top mounts but that was all i checked really. What should i check next and how?

Basically i was getting clucking from low gear acceleration and also somtimes if i hit a bump in the road. My gearstick was also moving back and forwards on and off throttle. Iv just finished changing my mount but its still clunking! :( Good news is at least the gear stick is solid now!:clown...

ok guys ill take a close look, i reckon i will replace the dogboen anyway and see if that helps because the gearstick does move back and forward slightly when you come on and off throttle.

bump

I am getting a clucking noise when i accelerate frm standstill sometimes, also when i hit bumps in the road i get it sometimes, it doesnt always happen though. Any ideas? If it is dogbone mount how do i check it without taking it out?

ah ok, theres the fail!

his dad si the main driver and he has said that his dad uses the car the most? Surely he is in the right?

Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE** why? buy the 3g!

So do i have to get it mapped as it is? its currently running standard timings.

ok, thanks alot for the advice mate, if its going to cost that much then i think ill leave it! As for the book timings, any idea where i can get them? I think ill get it rolling roaded at uni and see what power its putting out and go from there! :)

Im not fussed about running lumpy, i quite like the sound of a lumpy idle! I just want it set up to be running at its optimum, no point in having unused potential! Possiblity of no gains? surely not!?

kent cams 1601 are what its running, the engine was only rebuild 4k ago with a new cambelt etc. So can the timing nto be adjusted without a new cambelt etc? How much of a job is it? How much will it cost me to get it done? If i dotn remap it will it run badly? What sort of gains would i be...

Basically i have bought a car (mk1 valver) with kent cams and vernier pulleys, and a gas flowed/ported head but the guy who had the cams fitted had the pulleys/timing reveretd back to standard as he says it was very lumpy idle and he didnt like it? He said he has marked up the pulleys etc with...

already tried them mate! Neither of them stock it on their site!

As title really :)

I had skype on my phone but didnt know any1 with it aswell! waste of time!

what is the stuff he has covered the bash in called? and where can i buy it? rough cost?

pmsl! buy the parts your self from euro car parts/gsf and fit it yourself! About 2 hours work max with a set of axel stands and some spanners!

Pm'd :)

yep add your mum to your policy and it should knock off a few £hundred

Bump

As title really, my magnex is far too loud for motorway or fast road use so i was wondering if i could fit a standard back box to the magnex centre piece? This is for a 16v/williams btw.

yep just checked that! Im sure there is a 21 company soemwhere though!

take it easy if you go for a country blast! Only cain it on straight roads for now and get to know the brakes and the cars limits!

Nope! same colour though iirc.

Some pics of the rebuild etc:

dam, iv only i thought about that! I turned 21 last week aswell :rolleyes: He might have removed it? Try this link: http://www.clio16valver.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22748
