yup could be coolant temp sensor mate, worth a try ?

Id stay away from the stuff, if there is a problem then fix it, dont put in something like that, its only stopping the problem for now

yup, but its weird its going out that fast, normally a head gasket will leak from a water jacket to an oil way, or into a cylinder, but not that common for it to be a big enough crack to be able to see the water disapearing is quite weird

running it for a short while ie a few mins wont hurt mate, the damage has prob been done, just dont let it get warm as it could warp the head

the colt box is pretty strong, iv seen a colt running an evo engine with a colt box

thats it if you have a coolant leak, it would overheat, though if it has spilt all its coolant the gauage might not have shown it being hot as there would be no water to reg as being hot. Best thing to do is get it towed to a garage, or fill it up wit hwater and run it and see what its like

do you do many short trips mate? the mayo can come from condensation from short trips the best thing is get your local garage to pressure test it, nice easy job to show any leaks

oh and vtec ( which stands for Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control) operates like this: Instead of having one cam lobe per cylinder, you have 3, and you also have 3 rocker arms. The two outer cam lobes are smaller than the middle one,Now at low rpm the middle rocker arm is not...

Roy your spot on, the VVt on the Clio comes in at circa 1600 rpm to help low speed driveability, the 5k kick is simply when the engine is working at its most efficiant revs

if Fred can have a listen get him to, proper good bloke wont be wheel bearing, as it changes when the clutch is dipped

i think the main factor is your build mate, im 6ft 3, average build and iv owned a 106 xsi and iv just bought a saxo as a run around, and iv owned 3 Clio 16vs one which had a willy enigne and i would take the willy over the 106 any day of the week, mainly because there is no where i can put me...

easy guys, yes its a repost, but yes its a cracking bit of footage

not bad, bit agressive in places. Cup would have had him

Ah yeah i remember watching this at the time and you saying you thought it was linkage chap, well i suppose you cant complain too much, did the box make it to 110k?

how come you needed a new box fella?

if its been looked after is will be fine, just remember its a 15 year old car, so it WILL need some things doing to it. Though the cups a kinda new age willy so id prob keep the cup

if it helps my 2.5 inch Blueflame stanless cat back system is 92 db which i got test at Castle Combe the other week

nice one mate, just stay out those gravel traps and dont give an excuse to use it! ;)

Hmm, does it smell of fuel mate? in my experience you should be able to see the spark jump easy

i guessing you have checked for spark fella?

My 10ps worth, just for the hell of it :) Iv done 30k in my ph1, and my mate has a 182 non cup, but with both cup packs, that iv done a fair few miles in, so on these two here's my opinion: The 182 rides better. it feels more comfy, and it does feel alot lighter on the steering. The higher...

correct the XR4I'S are 2.8, supposed to make 150 bhp but never seem to, usually around 140 bhp the early XR4x4's were 2.8 also, the 2.9 came in in 1987, and on average make between 150-160 bhp with 160+ torque to match

:( Not good mate, as said at least your getting it fixed :)

god your lucky to not have blown the welds on your intake yeah Clio's do this at around that speed mate, having the aerodynamics of a brick lol
