filled up yesterday with 40litres having only done 253miles! 28mpg?! Mind you that was 25% motorway and 75% town driving. Bristol is really crap for driving around, as theyre always doing roadworks along main roads! i tried to resist going for a cruise on the last tank of petrol and my economy...

had the exact same alarm fitted to my 1.2 - no problems or false alarms here either :) Seems a little pricey from that website tho mate. I paid £250 including fitting for mine from a local shop in birmingham.

really sorry to hear that mate :( :@ i know that sick feeling all to well. You thought of getting cctv? weve set it up in our house after my mates motorbike was stolen a couple of weeks ago. £40 on ebay gets you a wireless infrared weather proof camera + receiver.

damn right its an amazing car mate :D ive had mine for a month now, its been off the road longer than its been on after the engine blew...but i still love it to bits! i get excited everytime i get in it! it certainly surprises a few people :D

yeah...just realised i wont be able to perma bridge it as it runs constantly even without the ignition on - grrrrr

yeah i was just gonna replace the switch while i was flushing the system, to eliminate that as a problem. Is it worth replacing the thermostat aswell? Im gonna bridge the fan permanantly for the time being til i get time to flush the system. Will there be any problems with this?!

I thought the fan therm switch had gone on my valver, but on the journey to buy a new one from renault, i turned the car off, and the fan started running! So its not the fan switch that is the problem. What other reasons could there be for the car overheating? Im not sure the fan comes on...

my fan definately doesnt come on at halfway! it goes over the 2/3rds mark and still doesnt come on :cry: well at least i know what the problems are now, before any serious damage was done! ill look into the forte flush aswell :) ive heard alot of praise about this forte stuff (probably from you!)

ah that doesnt sound bad then! :) The car started fine today. Im gonna get some hose and flush the cooling system when ive got some spare time. Im wondering why it got so hot tho and I havent noticed the fan kicking in, so ill check the thermostat. Do i just bridge the connections to test it...

...a huge water leak coming from the expansion tank, just after i came back from a little drive around bristol. Its not coming out the top, but one of the pipes connecting to it. Plus the water was all orangy/rusty coloured :( is this bad news? or is it just a case of the car getting too hot...

:o didnt realise it would spit flames with a decat! im deffa getting one now! glad to hear your back on the road mate :) it feels good doesnt it!

just got the valver back :D its now leak free...however the water temp seems to permanantly sit on the 2/3rds mark, even travelling at 30mph or so. it always used to sit 1/2 way b4 and creep upto 2/3rds just in traffic. When i was sitting in traffic for a couple of mins it was halfway between...

truly gutted for you mate :( nearly had the same thing happen to me a couple of days ago and i was gutted just thinking about what could have happened (luckily id just fitted new brake discs and pads as my old ones were shagged!). Im no insurance expert or nething but it looks in a bad way to...

im paying 650 tpft with elephant. Im a 20yr old student living away from home with 3 years ncb. Whats the super package then? 450 sounds good to me if its fully comp! Ive heard adrian flux can be arses when you come to claim tho...

i had a magnat sub for my very first sub! cheap as chips, but shook the car to pieces alright! :D then some chavscum nicked it :@ which magnat sub did you go for?

bought the car for £1625, insurance £960, after 1 day £400 new engine and £400 fitting, £100 replacement parts, £50 brake discs and pads, £40 petrol. £3575 after one day :(

Date of Purchase: 2004 Price: £1625 Year of car: 1993 Model: clio 16v bargain...til the engine blew up the day i bought it! minter apart from that tho! (and small scuff on the rear bumper)

good work lad! pointed the shortcut to dialogys.bat instead and the program started working! cheers mate

Give admiral/elephant a try mate. they were the only insurance company who would touch me if i delcared my mods. lowering cost £20 extra, and exhaust cost £10 more. i thought it was pretty reasonable, considering everyone else refused to take me.

just installed the 3 programs required to install this, installed the software, and when i try to run it, a small window opens in the top left of the screen and just sits there. any ideas?!

cheers mate, ill bear that in mind. im gonna ask my mate if his dad can trailer the car back to bham for me, then its just a simple matter of getting the engine delivered and my mate fitting it for me. should be on the road in 2 weeks or so. would renatec do engine rebuilds? what kind of price...

yeah u33db ur right, if infinicar have a low mileage engine then that would be the best option - its just alot of hassle to get the car from bristol to bham, as i dont have space/tools to do the engine swap here. just out of interest, how much am i looking at to get a full engine rebuild...

havent contacted the previous owner yet. dont think theres alot of point cus the car was sold as seen. would be interesting to hear his reaction tho! the coolant was higher when i checked it first time round but was alot lower after it broke down. the car came with quite a bit of service...

oh and on my 250mile run in the car, i noticed i only used half a tank of petrol! thats 45mpg, and considering alot of it was fast driving, this appears to be more fuel economic than my 1.2!

yeah it was always around 80 around town, and for most of the motorway journey, just under 100. Im contemplating just getting the engine repaired now, because theres no guarantee this wont happen with an engine transplant. at least if i repair the current engine, get it running again, then ill...

coolant was about half full when i collected the car. and when i looked on the hardshoulder yesterday, it was just over minimum. what did you do with you gtt? just get a new engine?
