RenMatt Second hand set from Ren breakers. Believe they check theirs before sending but non the less I'll do a leak off test then.

No really an update but. Vans new diesel pump is busted. Need to replace that. Clio is a little meh at the moment. Had the rear bumper done but....... I'll let everyone else judge that. Got 15" ph3 alloys, top dash, dash display, gear gaiter, wiper, tweeters, colour coded spoiler and parcel...

Some of you may know I bought a van which had petrol run through it. Ran it for 1 minute on the day I sorted it. Was a little tough to start but I figured that would be the air in the lines. Yesterday I went to start it and it was really difficult. Took 5 attempts before it went into life...

Wow Mileage Other drivers Area They will have the biggest effect

it's a murky line. Do best with what you have available to you. People doing these conversions can use their loaf :)

From what Dan said a while ago I understand all RHD cars have SMI racks.

maybe make it into a small personal and portable bbq

it's just completely dependant on how long the ECU bracket take you to get off. It can just come off or like one of ours, I had to cut it off and it took over an hour.

That's of course up to you but I never had a problem with mine. The steering rack bolts and far easier to access on the EPAS set up with the subframe in the car. I believe some DCI's do have this problem with notchy racks but the one I bought was brand new ex stock. Smooth as and took some...

it completed the set up and mounts directly to the subframe instead of having bushes

I think the dci rack is fine but the epas column can wear and cause knocking when under heavy load. One of our dcis does it and the noise is definitely not coming from the rack.

Takes 15 minutes after you've got the ECU cover off (1 minute or 1 day) need a deep 10mm for the ECU, torx bits can't remember size, about t20, for the steering cowel. 13mm for uch bracket and 1 torx under fuse box cover

He got angry, ate the clocks and parked the car up!

Fudge you don't need the wings to run widetrack

Pump. Got exactly the same problem currently with the kangoo. Can't build enough pressure to start the engine. If you try 5 lots of 10s bursts the pressure gets enough to force a start. Just like with this easy start stuff. lol at the rods. That tickled me.

If you don't already have airbags and the put seats with airbags in then they will just be there doing nothing as you can't plug them in. If you try and plug them in but the airbag ecu isn't programmed for them then you will get a light.

Well let's start with the obvious question. What did you do to the track rod ends? Adjust them/nothing/replace

Is there voltage at the fuel pump connector when you turn the key. Check under the rear seat, DC, 12v on a multi meter.

My first one - I'm sitting here trying to think and I can't, must have been having a funny day. In fact I thought they were rather a horrible car and couldn't understand why everyone had one. Second 182 was a gazillion times better than the first so made sense as it was cheap from a mate. All...

Is the coil pack cable firmly on the pack. I've had them fall off before. UCH fuse is a little 5 amp one in the fuse box. Unlikely to be that I think as your car was going and then packed up. Unplug the sensors on the inlet manifold so the ECU runs off its standard base values. Usual fuse, he...

spresley The temp sensor is going to set you back all of a fiver so change it and go from there

inlet plenum off Lots of leaning over and back ache because it's under the exhaust manifold. You'll see there's a little heat sheild on it which just pulls off.

Need Dash wiring, climate panel, heater box, climate control section of the climate loom and the blower motor inc resistor pack. Takes quite a long time to swap it all over. Some of the wires are there like the connection to the ecu for the AC are there but it's a bigger job than the results...

Ask your garage. They will have to remove aux to do the cambelt. New belt is probably a tenner. New tensioner is easy and quick to fit but not sure of price.

Did you test if the bendix was working before you put the new one in? Starter switch may have gone, I know this is common on some VW's but never heard of it on a clio. To check if the switch has gone you could put a piece of wire between the spade terminal on the starter and the + on the...

Ticking could be valve clearance or just rubbish oil but it's nothing I would worry about. Tensioner sounds a bit ropey to me. Cambelt and wp should cure. edit:assume you're also have aux belt done

as everyone else has said 1 is yes 2 - rs tuner not for your car and a whiteline would serve no purpose 3 - I've done it but I don't recommend it. You can't use the panel to control your existing set up

True, forgot about the ph1 shafts Cory I think between all that you've got all the info you need to sort that out. If you chuck second hand stuff on I'd expect it to cost you around £300.

Chip, you've sorted the gearbox query! Does the 1.2 have a place to mount the central o/s driveshaft bearing carrier. My DCI didn't and hence I had to get a 172 cup shaft (no bearing carrier) If I'd put that much work into a car, chopping it in to just get a 172 wouldn't even enter my head ! :D

Not sure of the gearbox/engineblock set up on a 1.2 but it should be fairly similar. Quick note on ABS. If you have 44 tooth ABS you will need to get rear sensors from renault from a clio 1.6 which doesn't have esp and also swap the plugs around (left to right and right to left). I didn't have...
