Hi all, I realise i shouldnt post this problem on here as its not for a clio but i didnt know where to put it and thought one of you helpful chaps could help :) Anyway, my Gfriend has a V reg 206 XS and yesterday it started indicating RIGHT for no reason... it will only STOP indicating right...

Yoz, where did you get those black / anthracite 2L 16v door badges from??

Can someone call him, record it, enquire and question him about it, then post the conversation WAV / MP3 file plz... would love to hear him REALLY questioned about it

Jesus!... cheers very much mate - that has been extremely influencial in my decision on how to treat it... apprecatied

Cheers j3ned - hopefully i wont need to get one off you.. with due respect :).. all done under warrenty mate... phew! - also, whats your view on running these in??? - and is there a REAL noticable difference after a few thousand miles?? :(

thanks S2 ;) mods??? course not.... eh slugger.... and nope they havent pined it on me... well, they wouldnt have IF i had any mods ;)

thanks DC2dave.... Edde: well, i may as well just keep the mileage that is on the dash at the moment... ive thought about this.. it does reflect how many miles the actual CAR has done BUT doesnt reflect the engine! oh i dunno whats best.......... White16V: i have no idea mate.. im assuming so...

Edde thanks, im getting a recon "new" 172 engine which needs "running in".. Would you say it best for me to do it the way youve described above?.. Also, what about over 25 miles??

Hehe, well, no, im pretty sure i didnt do that - im so careful when it comes to things like that... hmm, but there was that time i checked the oil in the sahara - damn the sand storms that day ;)!, seriously though, i think something happened whilst it was in reno letchworth for those weeks...

THanks Ben... Was just reading yuor note to me about Cams, SMT6 and was it inlet manifold work? i cant remember.. got the money for a few big mods but typical, probably cant have anything big done now for a few months eh!! :( Tom: yeh thanks mate.. they must have spent a bomb! engine, clutch...

Thanks ben.. your a star - if im gonna get a "factory rebuilt engine" as 172 Ex mentions, maybe its had a bit of a run in already eh.......

Ben thanks.. just tried to PM you but your box was full.. was basically about more info on running in engines... ive done a search and your view has been to run it hard.. would you mind PMing me back plz with info on this and if you still believe this is right.. cheer buddy.. Oh, and yeh... he...

ah ok 172Ex... could you emphasise plz mate? - what are the differences.... advantages / disadvantages etc, thx

Thanks Donnyo - no, look, im sure the majority of these ticking, knocking problems arent as serious as mine.. i felt terrible because before i knew about needing a new engine i posted about mine being in to reno for the same problem as another user had - said i would update as soon as i know the...

hehe - if im reading you right AND if i were considering what i think your thinking (im not!) then why would I need new physical clocks? they are all electronic arent they? - surley just plug some gadget into the car somewhere and amend stuff...

Thanks Chad - bit of relief that i guess

Yeh Fubar - well if i ever sell it i would just say it has had a brand new engine... i did ask him "do the clocks go back?".. he said "no" (silly question really i guess but not in best state of mind). Are you being sarcastic tho mate about looking forward to a new engine?.. i wish there were...

tbh i am suspect about the whole damn thing... i have been told lies by letchworth reno, and mis-truths over the past 3 weeks about so many little things... When he told me about a new engine i said "so, will it look brand new? - will it have a new looking top bit(inlet manifold i think)".. he...

Well, after letchworth reno lied and did NO work on it what so ever (after having it for 2 weeks) it was taken to Harpenden for the work...
