Never done one on a Clio, but do about 2/3 a week on Meganes/Scenics, easily done can do them in 1 & 1/2 hours without rushing.

Good vid al. Just sending the vid to the RSPB - £80 fine I heard?

Yeah its right mate

Glad you knew what I was on about. Looks good thought mate, must go like stink?

Not weakness as such mate, they're a pretty solid engine (for the amount abuse they get) Not a massive job headgasket on them, could do it in a saturday without rushing atall

Has it been bumped?

Wheres Bognor Regis I've got a mate that used to work at Rover, he works on them all the time.

Mines permagaurded too, 6 months of dirts enough protection

Could be headgasket could be waterpump, could be split pipe. You got bubbles when you start it in the header tank or oil in the header tank? Does it smoke white aswell? Have you had the cambelt/waterpump done yet

Could be a blank mate. Oil level/pressure switch? Do your gauges work, have you looked to seee if theres one missing of a sensor or anything?

Oil & Filter change - don't forget the sump plug washer.

Double Post

Trophy... Trophy.... DCI. How appropriate ;) Nice pics al. Cue/Pacey don't clean your trophys they look better filthy *Edit* Music should be East Bound & Down out of smokey and the bandit. A few fast cars, One dirty diesel

As long as they haven't been overtightened, hammer, long thing drift and a fat massive one. Smash them over the centre a couple of times to shock them - no pussy hits proper hard. Then whack them round (anti-clockwise) with the thin one. Works everytime and I've done loads

Not sure mate, not 100%, & generally DTI's where shite anyway, slow, sluggish & loads of black smoke. E7J engines will never die & I'd say they're pretty good for fuel if you need it to be. Whats going wrong with it??

They didn't make a turbo D for the Mk1 sadly, 1.9's excellent on fuel though. You thought of a base spec MK2 65bhp? You can pick them up for around £2-3k and will give excellent MPG. Think autocar or someone got 105mpg at a constant 56mph. Won't have all the goodies but if you need to save...

Re: Sounds like a traxctor Tappets mate Give it a good service aswell if it needs one, plugs/filters/leads

Re: South Yorkshire Meet across he strines 25/11/06 Nice pics Gaz spot on Whys there feathers on the front of sarahs clio ;)

Dunno if its the same as a willy but a willys should be 1000rpm 1.2bar 3000rpm 3.5bar Someone will know for definite

I'd check your rear pads just for the sake of it - they'll be alright though. Top-up your fluid, go bed your new pads in and see what the levels at. 60-10 60-10 60-10 etc Its worth changing your fluid aswell when your doing pads etc, so much easier, wheels off bla bla bla.

Brad was there anyone helping you, even still looks like you worked hard on it. And if it still runs, & your not paying labour, its always worth it.

Check your pads mate, with all 8 pads worn 100% it should sit at the minimum mark. (Should). Theres a reason it'll be low, your pads might be worn. Yeah DOT4's the stuff though, unless you've had it replaced with other stuff in the past - don't mix brake fluids. Loads of garages do it, but...

The rear brakes hardly do anything on the Cups

To check the leads aren't arching out, get a long screwdriver and rest it over the lead touching it, then tap an earth (cylinder head/engine mount etc) with the screwdrivers end, it shouldn't do anything. Mate try German & Swedish www.gsfcarparts.com Clean/replace your plugs while your at it.

TAPpets...;) Is it when its cold Dave?? And what oil you running

Yeah measure your turns when you take the old one off, but you might still have to play with the adjustment to get it bang on

Silver 172 M6 Junction 2 going northbound I think Couldn't see if it was a ph1/ph2 About 7pm

Common for the rear springs to break, also the shocks aren't upto much.

Check your dogbone mount mate, its at the bottom of the block, at the back. The bushes are made of s**t

Should be buzzing mate, but shouldn't be going too mad. Does it start any better when warm?
