haha cheers fred, i don't have too many old belts lying about but i'll keep that in mind if i'm ever stuck cheers Ben, i've had a look at the ones on ebay, i think their the Sealey cranes aren't they ? just a bit weary about buying something like this off ebay incase it packs in down the line...

yeh seen the lifting straps on there mate, would they be ok to use in the eyelets on the lifting brackets though ? i know their hardwearing but i could just see them getting a bit worn rubbing against the metal or do you think it's just better to wrap it round the engine ? i've always just...

I'm looking to order an engine hoist/crane in the next day or 2 for the work i'm going to be doing on my car (spotted the one in the link below) http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cfc100-1-tonne-folding-workshop-crane/path/workshop-cranes-engine-stands But i'm struggling to...

Stakkabo - the aux belt is still there although it's sitting a fair bit to the side on one of the pulley/tensioners, i'll be able to have a better look when i get the top engine mount off cheers mate, yeh don't worry i've labled every connector/wire/pipe that i have taken out aswell as put...

Mangate - cheers again mate, i'll keep an eye out for a compression tester with a long reach adaptor, i'm sure i seen one on machine mart earlier, that's where i'm getting an engine hoist from aswell (unless i find another decent one cheaper elsewhere) so might just order both from there...

I've done my badges and bullets in anthracite mate, see the thread below for pics http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=453189

cheers mangate and fred that's much appreciated mate, it's just a pity your so far away, fancy relocating to sunny scotland :rasp: ok my plans for sat are: support engine at the sump remove top engine mount check cambelt (if still in one piece and all tensioners/pulleys are fine do the...

so would it be best to try and crank it by the ignition then ? i have removed the fuel rail and injectors, would i need to refit these if i was to do it by the ignition ? yeh cheers mate i was more wondering if lowering the engine would cause any problems with everything else thats still...

cheers again for the info lads, can anyone shed any light on my other 2 questions i had above ? If i was going to do actually retime it and refit the cambelt and use the tool more than once then i would def buy the renault ones but i will literally just be using them to take this engine...

haha yeh i know mate, i've spent long enough reading about things and just thought it was about time i got my hands dirty, might aswell get stuck in as it's the best way to learn cheers for the info Fred and Stevie it's much appreciated, i'll give that a go if i have time during the week, if...

an idiots guide would be much appreciated if anyone has the time ;) sorry i've got a very basic knowledge of engines atm and am just trying to learn a bit more the now so a lot of this goes over my head, you've got to start somewhere though eh :D

I've not even attempted to start the car Fred, as it was an unknown I though it would be better to just get it stripped down and see what the damage was rather than risking causing more by turning it over in hindsight maybe I should have ?

nice one cheers for the info, looks like i'll just need to get the tools ordered then, will have a search to find exactly what i need danny all i've been told is that it's something to do with the cambelt so whether its snapped or skipped a few teeth then surely it's a case of checking the...

cheers lads, i was really hoping that i could remove the head without needing to mess about with the pullies etc... (basically so i don't need to buy the tools just to take it apart as i will definitely not be fitting a new cambelt etc.. myself as i'd rather leave that to a garage) is there...

I bought a 172 cup from a guy off here a couple of weeks ago with a suspected cambelt failure, instead of putting it into a garage for them to strip it down and tell me whats wrong i though i'd strip the head down myself and have a look and see what damage it's done (plus it'll give me a chance...

not yet but will be doing it soon

if you could do a complete guide to removing the head that would be spot on ;)

Do you know roughly how much more it would be for having adjustable damping on them ? how much of an interest would there need to be fo it to be looked into, could stick up a thread on here and see

If they had adjustable damping then i think they would appeal to a lot more people (me included) as i will be going for the more expensive options for the adjustable damping would this be able to be an option for other clios aswell such as the V-maxx for the 172/172cup etc.. ? Also could...

yeh that is a bit weird it being under, the majority read slightly over on the speedo (inc mine) if i set the cruise control to 70 is reads about 73, always see people go through speed cameras/average speed checks faster than me aswell even though i'm sitting on the limit according to the...

cheers again for the comments, glad the badges went down well as they were a bit of a pain to spray up well lol, yeh managed to get the badges to cover the holes but its a very tight fit to cover them both yeh it's just on the standard cup suspension atm, i had plans to get coilovers etc...

anthracite or orange/red

ah right sound, would be good to see if this works well then

just had a quick look at it and i can't see it being much more than a glorified stopwatch tbh the G meter is more of a novelty would be good if it worked well though, just don't think it would be able to update its position as often as you'd like to make it useful, could be wrong though

haha no probs bud, i dont know huge amounts about laptops but i was looking for one myself a few weeks ago so it would be rude not to lol ;)

seems like a good buy mate, for that price you cant really complain for that spec !

seems like a decent laptop for the money like, acer def make some good spec laptops for the price, never had one but heard their decent core 2 duo is always a bonus for that price, currys or comet were actually doing a few good deals not 2 long ago aswell

if your going to buy a laptop without a OS then you might as well add that onto your budget if your prepared to pay that, so £350 for that one in the link and then say £90 for an OS, £440 total theres another couple that i spotted when i was looking for one a months ago and i'll post up the...

i would say theres better laptops out there for the price tbh (not a great deal better but a bit), if i were you i would look for 3gb RAM+ as that will help with running bigger programmes such as CAD, photoshop, games etc..... as far as i know its always going to be better with a dedicated...
