Need a drill, some emery or wet n dry and a bit of bar. Get a piece of bar (or a long bolt) that's smaller than the hole diameter. Hacksaw or slitting disc a slot 15mm or so down the end of the bolt. Get some emery cloth and tear the width to the depth of the slot. Insert end of emery into slot...

That eBay link is jjc! That's the one I've got, and that's how much I paid last year. will take some pics later.

I've got one, and a few mates have too. I think if it bolted onto an omp boss it would stick out quite far. I also use a deep dish steering wheel so i made my own boss for it to bolt onto using an original steering wheel centre and I machined an alloy boss to fix it all together. Works well.

I did the reset thing that I read on here the other day with the old clutch. Just stuck the cable back on and tried it with the new clutch and it's good. Pedal slightly higher than brake pedal as all clios and bite feels good. No slipping now, that's the main thing.

Fitted the new clutch this morning and there is much happiness! ! Can't wait to get it mapped and finish wiring the epas and have a proper blast in it.

If your car is that loaded up be careful that vosa don't go pulling you over for exceeding the max weight of the Clio, I do know of the odd holiday goer that has been pulled for the vehicle being overweight. Good luck on your move though

Shouldn't be sucking, it's a breather, should be a pipe going to the airbox

Yeah very odd Carl, but new clutch and hopefully happy days Yeah sure Dan, once it's finished and mapped etc

Yeah from euro. I can only assume it's contaminated or something as cable etc all seem good. I can drive it ok normal, it's only heavy load that makes it slip.

Well I picked up a new Valeo clutch from Chester on the way home from work yesterday. I didn't open the box while I was there, but did when I was stuck in the races traffic only to see that it had been previously fitted. Wasn't happy with that, so called into the Wrexham depot on the way home...

Yeah it's pissed me off a bit as that setup was spot on in the old car. I've either made a mistake or the clutch has been contaminated.

Gutted! Had to postpone the mapping session. Drove it out of the garage and onto the trailer. Took it to mates garage and did the tracking. Just gave it a quick blast on the estate and the clutch is slipping. Tried resetting the adjuster and no different. Even tried the coke trick incase it...

Almost ready to drive out the garage. Temporary drivers seat in (had to jet wash it as it was grotty so it's a bit damp. It's from a base model ph1 scrapper at my mates garage.) Need to adjust the gear selector slightly and bend the heatshield as it's rubbing. Steering wheel fitted. Just need...

The hose itself isn't too expensive, it's the cost of all the fittings that adds up.

It's the mother in laws garage, only 9 doors down from mine though. Can't get a car in my garage. It's probably 4m fuel hose, and 8+m of brake hose. My fronts are only braided in place of the flexy hose. Rears are full braided from m/c. Copper is a damn sight cheaper!! Thanks. It's a ph2...

Busy day today Tweeks was open today so popped and got some more braided hose. Replaced the front leaking one and it seems to have bled alright so happy days. Wipers now fitted. Bonnet on, and fitted new locking aerocatches. This bonnet is a bit tatty so may respray it or wrap it. Front bumper...

Small update. Popped across to get some rubbish out of the garage and just thought I would try a different hazard switch and the hazards and indicators are now working. That's all the electrical stuff now working. If I can get another bit of braided hose to sort the brakes, fit a seat and...

Been in the garage again today and fitted the front brakes Filled the system with fluid and started to bleed it. Pedal was fine. Went out for a bit, came back and the pedal went to the floor. Bit of a puddle under the passenger flexy. The passenger hose must be goosed. Had an issue with that...

Today's top news........it's alive!! Temporarily put the new odyssey battery under the bonnet, and tried to start it. No go, solid red light. As I've stripped a few cars, stuff must have got mixed up. The key and ecu were matching as the central locking was working, so I had a look in my...

Yeah that is what's supposed to happen bit as most of us join the 2 rear lines to go through a bios valve, potentially all fluid could be lost. That's why I make sure my mechanical handbrake works well too!! ;-)

Only contact I've had since was a customer service survey email. Though they would have tried to do something. In all fairness I havnt really missed it. Only wife has moaned about not having sky plus to record her programs.

Drilled a new hole inline with top of pump, hose comes out, down behind cage bar, along side of drivers sill, up into scuttle area, through black removable scuttle plate, round strut turret, joint to fuel sample point, out of that an loop round to fuel rail. Will take a pic next time I'm across...

Cancelled mine after 14 years, as the best they would do is drop to 46 a month instead of 58. Didn't get any better offers to stay, just got a kodi firestick for movies and save money. Havnt got a TV aerial so just watch basic channels on original sky boxes

I havnt seam welded mine, and its rare that I have seam welded my cars in the past either. That arc welder isn't suitable for seam welding either, you are more likely to blow holes through it and make a mess. You would need a mig welder really. Tig welders are also very good, but only where the...

Busy afternoon after wasting a couple of hours trying to get the correct handbrake cables after the 1st set were too short but a trip to eurocarparts in Chester managed to get some. Once back I fitted them, refitted the heat Shields, then fitted the rest of exhaust including fitting a powerflex...

Back at it again tonight. Trial fitted the fuel tank to mark where to drill the hole for the fuel line. Also drilled and clipped the rear brake line too before refitting the fuel tank and fibreglass tank guard. Started to run the fuel line into the engine bay too. Bought a new odyssey battery...

4 ish he said. Will probably finish work at 3, then drive up (or trailer it if not taxed by then)

Not much to update as I've been ill with a throat infection. Managed to get over to the garage for an hour or so tonight and got it up on axle stands. Fitted the dogbone mount, exhaust heatshield, cat, lambda sensors and the gear linkage. Linkage just needs minor adjustment, but will wait until...

Depends how cheap it is, but I'm still thinking that engine is scrap. If it's still a cheap buy, get it, break it, keep the bits you need, then just buy another engine for yourself with the profit.
