one had, the other's pump had utterly shat itself ;) shaft had about 10mm of play

i did one this week, easy enough with the bumper off. New pumps need a new flange also, which has to be pressed with a special tool into the right position. I've bought the tool as renault pressed the flange on wrong for me twice

Throttle body is most likely, especially as removing and cleaning it before made a difference.

it's bolted directly to the top of the engine, it's going to get just as hot as the rest. Air travelling into the engine will be moving so fast, the temperature of the plenum will make an unnoticably tiny difference

you need some proper rear coilovers really ;)

sounds like the MAP sensor wasn't plugged in properly to me. can happen, had it play silly buggers before and pop out after the car's run for for a while.

bin the adjustable thing and put a standard regulator back in. as per my above post, it's 3 bar

your choices are either to find a ph1 fuel rail with the regulator built in, or buy something like a weber 3bar FPR. Avoid adjustable regulators like the FSE boost valve as they're not very stable. The slightly more expensive option, is to buy a clio specific jenvey fuel rail, with an FPR...

does the noise go away if you rev it?

1. if it's not noisy, you dont need a new dephaser 2. odds are he wont have done one before and wont have the correct locking tools (he'll THINK he does) or know the procedure. Unwise to not use someone experienced with these engines

probably unless i go way for the weekend

LOL, wanker

they normally fit fine, but the fittings are prone to corrosion, and seizing on so they can't be removed at a later date. They're plated mild steel rather than stainless. HEL are fully stainless

the exhaust isn't hitting the axle now you've gone a bit lower is it?

yes that is flocked

That they are the right ones.........look at the torque spread!!! you wont get that with 428s

not on a DD. Maybe on a superflow

if you're only using a code reader, you'll never get to the bottom of it. You need to analyse live data dfrom the lambda to see if it's working Personally I think it going to be something separate to that and the lambda just needs changing anyway. I'll bet the thermostat has never been changed

I'm counting that as an "I was right about the cams" ;) superb torque figure on a DD!!!!!!

unsure if that variant exist yet, think it would be the same as a very late mk2 1.2, in which case they dont do one.

you can change the pump without removing the wiper arm and scuttle, just about. Have to have small hands though

Have a feeling the ph1 lines are very slightly shorter, so the 182 ones would be the ones to go for

spose i should make the effort for this.....sigh ....socialising *mumbles*

i'm actually starting to get quite annoyed by your constant bad advice to people. Be as much of a pikey as you want, but dont make other people mess up their cars too. Decent jubilee clip is absolutely fine. You catogorically CANNOT use a cable tie on 172/182 CV boots due to the fact they...

it's possible, especially if you didn't get them tight enough

mate of mine's just bought a 316 compact with the intention of dropping in a bigger lump eventually. For the £200 he paid for it, with a current MOT its an epic little car. He's even selling his 530 as it's too sanitised and boring and using the compact as a daily

sounds like you used the wrong ones. 10mm holes and bolts on the non sport balljoints, 12mm on the sport

i think the wording of earlier legisltion was something like "modifying the vehicles exhaust system to be louder than the manufacturer intended" Originally to stop people drilling holes or cutting baffles out of boxes

double post FFS

LOL. the brace from the upper alternator bracket to the block to be precise worth looking at the manifold to cat gasket. The bolts and springs come loose as the gasket wears out
