there are if the rear pump is squirting when you try to wash the front, the plugs have been swapped at some point or the hoses have been messed with

no it doesn't, top mounts knock under turning. sounds very balljointy to me personally

Laine got stopped apparently. they wanted to know what he'd done to it as they'd never hear d a clio make a noise like that before, LOL

sounds like your diff circlip has popped out

no, driveshafts will be the wrong lengths, and i think a different spline pattern, camber will be funny, bottom arms are different length,

agree. Apparently I had a trade stand..... They never even spoke to me about it until after it was published, and i had no intention of doing it. Would have been an ok show if it was £10 to get in, however £20 took the piss, thats the same as a weekend ticket at pod/shakespeare. Think i'd...

rear springs can be funny with adjustable platforms. sometimes the end of the spring can catch and ping if it's sat in a certain way. just try rotating the spring 180 degrees

cam bearing caps are always matched to the head, just on the F4R they're built into the rocker cover

I like mintex 1155's. driven and been in a number of mk1's on track that run them with very happy owners. will be well worthwhile for you to change the fluid too. I put ATE racing blue in the MG ZS we took to the ring last week, and it makes a difference.

your car uses the same setup as a williams (if it uses the calipers i think it does) so anything listed for that will be good. I have the above pads in my mk1 for road use, but I've made them fade on the road, let alone on track.

you know this is matched to the head it came from dont you?

what condition is the gearbox in? i've seen many gearboxes with noisy main shaft bearings that are blamed on the release bearing.

it's a s**t job, but 4 hours!!!!!!!!! no way!!!!

almost. The ABS rings are different

didn't i say that about 5 hours ago?

He's fitted the spacers for the idlers behind the wrong ones if its the pulley rubbing

Compression test it

possible for the creaking i guess, but the fact it knocks over bumps suggests a balljoint too

just needs to be looked at thoroughly then. could be a worn pump not liking the extra load that full lock puts on it, might be early sign of failure, but it's all guesswork without looking

just keep turning and apply a bit of upward pressure. stupid things take ages to get off

I see a lot of mk1's, I did the cambelt on "the imperial" recently. Bit of a blast from the past, was the first clio I ever worked on about 11 years ago

needs examining, but the knock could be balljoint or CV joint related. creaking may be rubbing, is it lowered?

newer engines use plastic pulleys which are prone to cracking. They, along with aux belts that like to shred, are the bigger issue. Yes there's a built in safety margin in the 5 year rule. Some new cars will have sat for 2 years before being registered. Some cars are running a 100k/10 year...

wouldn't go that far, the aux belt was crumbling, and the idler pulley was completely shot. ticking timebomb

correct route to have taken LOLing at using a screwdriver on a bolt thats torqued up for seatbelt loadings

read my above post, it wont effect steering feel, it's there to help pick up the revs

pressure switch is there to tell the ECU when the PAS is applying extra load to the engine and help with anti stall at low revs. Possible you have a belt tension issue (seized tensioner?) or maybe just low fluid level

had a 172 in today with a rough idle. I'd changed the lambda around 2 months ago, and economy had improved, but the lumpy idle had got worse gradually. So, first port of call was the sparkplugs......sigh Bosch, fitted by a "specialist".....oh and they were loose. New NGKs fitted, better but not...

I did a williams 1 a couple of months ago that was on original belts and 60k on the clock. One owner from new, so it's not like it was lost paperwork or anything. thats 16 years old !!!

i had 4 different part worns on a 300bhp 200sx once. was surprisingly nimble, LOL. I wouldn't panic about it personally, it's nice to have matched axle pairs, but it's not dangerous not to.
