That's not the main dogbone bolt. The 18mm one anyway. Could well be the 16mm one that mounts it to the subframe, but doubtful that would work it's way out.. What size is the head?

You could have got that cheaper from a few members on here i'll bet. £750 to fit an engine being the main one. I'd have charged £250-300.

Why not bed them in on the way to track? Unless it's a trailer jobbie?

You need to take the crank pulley (the one the belt sits on) off and clean it up...

Yep, they're a 10mm nut as standard. Same nut as the exhaust manifold ones iirc.

That noise. Epic thread.

Faulkner 155lb's used to be the in ones when i had 106's/VTS'..

f**king love it.

Yep, trailer always takes the shortest route. Other than that, no drama.

Details?

Was a bit of a fiddly one to sort. 100x easier on a ramp owing to it's location, but as simple as unbolt it from the turbo, pop the return out. Instant gasket. Replace. Thing the o-ring had had it. (it was 5 years ago, so memory not that good)

Hardy things, 850's.

Yep, that's fit for the pile. @midge

@leeds_182 My old 850 had a pretty solid leak from the back of the block.. Turbo oil return....

As @leeds2592 said, there's no such thing as a stupid question. It becomes stupid if you ask it twice.

Will be an earth issue mate.

Never touch a car again. Lol

I need a bit of threaded bar for one of these too if anyone has a spare.. I have a length of threaded rod, but bending it to shape has proved an absolute fucker so far. Might have to get the torch out.

Screwdriver in the back of the mech. It'll pop open once you push the arm over. It's pretty fiddly TBH.

VTS' are too expensive now mate. Most will either have rotted away, or be sheds. 172 is the best option at the minute.

no worse than any other car TBH. Easier than a 182, that's for sure. Link for clutch below: http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Renault_Clio_1.2_2004/p/car-parts/car-transmission/clutch-and-associated-parts/clutch-kit/?641745640&1&70e63a78b686d4d9c87a37b20ec72beb0e713c9d&000069 £82..

You can get a 996 for £10k. But the Turbo starts at £35k for an Auto. £40k for a rough-ish manual. As soon as you go older than 996, well, you can spend as much as you have.

@neil a 911 is on ebay if you didn't know: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-PORSCHE-911-TURBO-GREY-MANUAL-9e30-PERFORMANCE-COUPE-/132061663194?hash=item1ebf7d0fda:g:RoAAAOSw9GhYdqDM

Update required.

NO chance i'd be giving anything like that. PLenty of these shitheaps for sale - find a decent local seller on here IMO.

Yep, you need to put a fair bit into it, and angle down as they start to come out, this helps pop the o-rings out.

Once you've removed the rail, be sure to plug the holes with tissue overnight too.. UNlikely anything would get in there, but better safe than sorry. Also worth mentioning to get the injector o-rings back into the inlet when re-assembling is a fiddly b*****d. Need some kind of lube (wahey) to...

Next step is to remove the rail. Pull firmly as you angle the rail down and the injectors will come away from the inlet. The o-rings will be tight and horrible to get in and out..

Fair play for having a go, but you seem utterly clueless if you can't unplug a connector, lol

There's a spring clip on the underside of the connector. Push that in, and slide the connector off at the same time.
