I was watching this on eBay, started at £1500 BUY IT NOW, I was tempted as it’s a 1 owner car, no room for anymore though 🤣 Great base to start from.

Oh yeah, and a new pollen filter. Need to have a clean out around the scuttle at some point.

Fitted the new rad and coolant bottle today. Also cracked on and fitted the new aux belt kit and did an oil and filter change for the new dephaser pulley. Just the cosmetic bits to refit now suck as slam panel, bumper, headlights etc etc. Parts I’ve replaced 20/01/2020 @ 102,980 miles all...

Fired her up, running lovely. Fuel line leading to the injector rail decided to spring a leak :( on the hunt for a new fuel pipe now!!!

Getting there, all nicely timed, tensioner bang on. New spark plugs, nice to see the old ones were the correct type.

All timed up, took a few attempts to get it bang on, cam end tool slots in lovely with a couple of fingers now :)

Always loved working on my own stuff, just found working on other people’s cars very boring and repetitive.

As I’ve got all the time in the world on this I’m cleaning bits up as I go. Carbon canister was looking in a sorry state so that was attended to.

Cracked on tonight, removed the cambelt and pulley, fit new cam seals and boshed on the water pump. Water pump mounting face took a while to clean up. Surprisingly nothing is knackered considering the belts were last changed in 2013 about 40k ago. Cambelt idler was very slightly rough and the...

A few more bits arrived today, plugs and air filter .

Alot of prep work and then autoglym aerosol alloy wheel paint.

For the price of the genuine stuff its mental to put anything else in.

Love a Cup, i did a refresh on the one I had a while ago, wish I never sold it. Bit of inspiration for you.

New radiator arrived, under £50 delivered!

I’ve used one before when I had my Cup, I’ll see how I get on.

Pm'd

New coolant bottle arrived today.

Cheers mate, ill try and remove the ones off my old rad, if not ill let you know.

I've ordered a nissens rad as you mentioned in my other thread. Did the rad not come with the captive nuts?

Scrubbed down the front arch liners, the only way to clean both sides properly 👍

Stripped off the front end today in prep for when I do the cambelt etc at the end of the month. Noticed the radiator was damp a couple of days ago so I’ve taken it off to be replaced with a new unit. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be able to clean up everything behind the bumper etc in the...

https://m.autodoc.co.uk/nissens/1990632 I think that’s the one I need 63855A?

I’m after a Clio 172 ph1 replacement coolant radiator, I’ve read the nissen ones are pretty good, ECP are listing them for £50 but I’m always sceptical with what they send out and if it will fit.. Has anyone ordered one from them? I’m aware that there is a slight difference between the 172s...

If you can make up some o.z f1 wheel center caps you’ll sell loads. The file is on here somewhere. I would buy a set :)

Shamen? Weren't they a band?

Cleaned up the number plate light unit, just to see if it’s actually doable to make it clear again, not bad. before and after.

Cambelt etc all arrived today in less than 24 hours after ordering from Renault Wolverhampton, great service from them! Even though I work for Renault it was cheaper by over £100 to get all the parts from another dealer 🤣 work that one out! I shall get it all fitted once the weather warms up a...

As far as I know from the history of my X plate Clio 172 ph1 it’s on the original dephaser pulley. No mention of it being replaced in the two belt changes it’s had. However I will be changing it this year.
