If you have no compression then cylinders are not sealing, so my guess would be along the lines of the cambelt has jumped and bent valves, sorry to hear mate :( Did it spin over quicker than mormal? less compression can make cranking speed faster due to less resistance (ie valves not seating...

Most of it yeah mate, I think it's had a bit of oil starvation New engine coming so it's all good :) Im guessing it's span a bearing shell, but il see once I have stripped it I should post this video when people complain about noisey followers lol

Just lovely mate

Sounds good doesn't it lol. Shame as it's only done 71k

It is pokey for an old girl

Lol thats the issue, it thinks its a VW type 2 lol

Could it have been the gauge was faulty mate? I honestly cannot think of coming across the situation you are describing in 15 years in the motor trade? (oh, and as previously stated, the 7p's need at least 4500 rpm on them to get going, so yours sounds fine)

Go Duf!

thought id take a few videos of the noise This video is from cold This is another short clip after it has been running for about 10 minutes Will be interesting to strip it and find out whats been damaged lol

make sure he used the correct spark plugs too, PFR6E-10 from memory - very important that, many years ago I fitted Bosche super 4's - ran ok for a week and misfired like a pig after that - F4R's need the correct ones, so just make sure he got them mate :)

Then stop spending out so much on it ;) lol It's pretty up together isn't it? maybe just enjoy it for a bit now? Or does it need somr more work dude? I know, RS2 it! oh wait....

You would be mental to sell it, fun per £ matey!

750 lb ft of torque!

A trader must sell a car fit for purpose. The grey area is the age, condition, price - all taken into consideration when an issue comes up. I would personally take it to one of the specialists on here (in the traders section) and get a proper diagnosis - then speak to him, explain the...

Is the Clio eligable for any other series guys? Would you ever think of doing another?

Pfffft f**king shed Thats why il take it off your hands x

Duf has a cobra. Tis also s**t lol

With respect mate, oil pressure will not always be the same - it will rise and drop with engine revs (As oil pump is driven off the engine) and also many things can change oil pressure from ambient temperature down to what viscosity oil you use

Oh im certainly not disputing that Danny, but giving the OP imo, id prefere to go with a complete engine change, vs say a camshaft change and either remap or aftermarket ecu route, going on cost of performance per £

Dont bother with the injectors mate - uprating them will do nothing - to be honest without internal modifications you wont get any more power - and fitting a more performance oriantated camsaft, or modifying the head just isnt worth it - if you really want to get more performance fit either a...

Nice to hear of a tidy standard one, every one iv seen lately has been modified to the hills and back lol

Nooooo gotta be black!!

I thought that about the dsg when it first came out mate, but enough miles in the car and you learn to drive around it, i find applying throttle a split second before you woild in a manual seems to work.

Ignore the pressure gauge, there is a sensor for it, which is mounted on the back of the block on the drivers side of the car, by the exhaust manifold, but to be honest i doubt you would get it right without renewing the whole system from gauge to wiring - iv gone through 2 switches and 2 gauges...

Lol im on my 2nd one :o

Ha lol, im not far behind you Starting to collect little bits ready to swap the engine, new collant bottle is next

Only 4 figures on coke and hookers? Pffft, rookie ;)

I bet mate, such a lovely colour too and rare

Lol you are such a perfectionist ;) though should look awesome once done mate

As Dans has said mate, i have been lucky enough to own a lot of fast cars, but looking at fun per £ the Clio is the best choice - my Elise was mind blowing, and I will have another, but 8k for the Elise, where as my Exclusive with a new engine in will owe me less than 4 figures - you can't have...
