That's a myth mate. The fuel pick up is on the bottom of the tank so it makes no difference anyway. I think people used to have problems with their fuel tanks rusting and then blocking up the carb. I've taken a few tanks out of cars now and never found any grubbyness in the tank.

I wouldn't bother unless it's giving you problems. The water pump is powered by the aux belt so if it goes it's not a big job anyway. Never have understood why people always change it with the cambelt. Do the dephaser as that's a job to be done with the cambelt.

I pretty much get 500 to a tank although have seen over 750 when being careful and the turbo wasn't ruined. Now I struggle to get over 58mpg on the dash though no matter what I do. Most of the time it's flat out on the motorway or town driving so never going to be good. You can get 48l in the...

my turn. lovely knob Please please please change your carpet for the one from your 182

Agree with both of those :)

Try and give it a jump start as the battery be kaput. That would be my first point of call No they aren't at all. Maybe the lambda is gone although I've never had a 1.2 so can't comment particularly on matters specific to your engine size.

does it click when you turn the key? have you tried to jump start it?

well that's that ruled out then. Maybe it's the crank sensor

sounds like the immobiliser has a problem. Do any lights stay on the dash when it won't turn over?

Green I went a bit nuts with the polisher and went through the paint, woops. The story goes "I went so fast the paint started coming off" This bit fell on the ground and chipped. All in all I think it looks silly and because of that I love it. New name, Shrek.

No idea mate, I bought a clone clip for just over £100 and it's paid for itself many times over. Makes these jobs so simple

I bought my DCI on 106k with no service history and now at 143k it's still going strong. No doubt the work and maintenance I've carried out has taken it happily to this mileage and will likely see it go for thousands more. Lauren's DCI was bought with 90k on, loads of SH, owned by someone who...

if you want resistors its m3r3 from maplin or as Dan said, Renault CLIP can have the lights of very fast, it's a case of changing one setting from with to without

What does that mean! Cables ties and bodges ;)

@JON FOZ I would also love this matey. I've been desperate to do this for ages.

Well, not with all that gubbins. Just the belt kit and timing tools. My water pump is non gen, cost £20 and hasn't exploded yet. Alt belt £10 and coolant about £15. Bargaintastic. I hope you've got A/C because if not the manual tension is hateful. I've only changed the water pump on one of our...

Cheers Dan. I forget about this car now I have the other one but remember why it's a goodun when I scrub her up. Lol at the cambelt. Our van was 60k over due and didn't go pop. Really easy job to do yourself though and costs less than £50. Get the mount!!! gives you 30 bhp and impresses the...

I think it's about 143k now although it goes up quite quickly so I may be wrong. Still going strong :) I learnt by giving it a go, never worked in a garage but just researched everything thoroughly before committing. First mechanical job I did was boring out my 50cc ped. It all went from there...

Did a little bit of work on the workhorse today. Had one job to sort which had been bugging me. Last weekend I noticed an odd noise coming from the car. Heard it a few times before on the motorway but thought nothing of it. Pulled up at the petrol station and something smelt like burning rubber...

a sixteen year old walk past and today and said he thought the exhaust was really cool....maybe I should keep it! He did however say he wanted his first car to be a fiesta so I'm not so sure. Thanks for the offer matey. I've butchered my old ones now to fit! Finally! Couple of little updates...

it's even nicely alternating weights

That's hilarious!!!!

It's made by renault so capital seating can't supply. I never asked a price as I feared being robbed. Make some up!!

not a 1.2 but I have a non-sport which has had quite a bit done to it since I got it http://www.cliosport.net/threads/grahams-ocd-ph2-dci-sport-rep.720172/

I'd rather give the money away than spend £30 on a piece of marginally smaller plastic. I also couldn't bring myself to spend the money for the sake of a few mm

really simple but have you changed the fob battery?

Pretty sure this isn't quite what you had in mind but anywho. Tomorrow I can get some better photos.

spot on matey! I need some for mine too

You shouldn't need to remove th expansion tank. I've put loads of stuff through the bonnet release grommet and haven't had to remove it.

I checked my ebay, spot on! I also have the hel ones apparently! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-Brake-Caliper-Bleed-Screw-Nipple-M7-x-1-00mm-4-Pack-/181576126741?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2a46c7d115
