The coolant bottles themselves are prone to cracking in their old age so check the fire wall insulation for dampness as it could be trickling down the material and dripping on the floor, which wouldn't be apparent with a visual check, look on the bright side at least it's not an oil leak, they...

As long as it lifts the car up high enough to get under it without it collapsing on you it'll be fine, if you can't find the leak tomorrow morning take some spare coolant with you to top it off before you set off, then again before you head home, as long as the coolant level doesn't drop below...

I take it you've been driving the car today, what's the level like now?

Jack the car up and look directly above the puddle, you didn't spill any when you were filling it up did you?

I'm so attracted to Cub right now.

I think these have aged so well, such a good shape for a little French rocket.

It's your auxiliary belt, either your alternator bracket needs tightening, or you need the belt changing.

You're doing better than me, I found an old screwdriver wedged down the side of my battery when I first got the car.

Same here, if only I didn't live in a ghetto i'd probably be paying £50 quid to insure the Clio, although I guess £380 fully comp with maximum protected no claims isn't too bad.

What kind of a r****d views a car they don't even know they can afford to insure? I've never viewed a car without having got a number of quotes before hand, that way if I like the car I can ring my insurer up while i'm stood there, pay for a years insurance by credit card and drive it home...

You can't just give us that, take some detailed photos of the engine & interior, bloody love Mustangs.

The 3k rpm idle is what you get when air is leaking into the inlet manifold, it happened to me when I forgot to plug something back in once.

Well there you go shows what I know. lol

Best way to tell is jack the car up and have a look under it, if you're not missing a dust cap over the seat bolts, it's a camshaft blank.

It goes under the car where the seat bolts in there's 4 of them on each side, if you're lucky it'll be one next to the sill rather than near the exhaust channel, it's not really important it's just a cover that stops the bolts from getting covered in road dirt and corroding.

It's one of the rubber covers that stops dirt and crap from getting in seat bolt cavities.

You could be the first person in history to stop one of these from leaking.

That's what gearboxes are for, change down, revs go up, instant power.

£16k is piss cheap for one of those, the ones that have a race history go for up to £40k, god I hope I win the lottery tonight.

Have you just ordered a back box so it's drivable?

I think you're right when you said stealth systems cause the sound to resonate under the car rather than going out the back, when I bought mine alot of people were going for the recessed Piper which despite being identical isn't half as loud in the car as mine is.

It has the centre silencer but it's not very big and neither is the backbox, it looks like a race bike exhaust.

What do you mean, two exhaust tips?

I love the RS front ends, best looking escort there is imo.

I didn't notice, I only saw the front of it parked in between two cars as I drove past.

What did this bloke say about his stealth system? http://www.cliosport.net/threads/sadly-the-monaco-is-breaking-recaro-seat-cup-spoiler-ect.774912/

The only way you could have what you want is buy the best system you can afford, then cut the tail pipe off and weld a stealth tip on.

In short, the holy grail. lol

I'd take the standard system off the list mate, you'll just be replacing a sh*t system with another sh*t system.

You could just buy a new back box for fifty quid so you can drive it while you're researching decent stainless systems.
