why lol? Think about it, a small bore hose is a restriction, that causes high pressure in the hose. The relief valve will see the higher pressure in the line first as it's right after the pump, so it will open up. That in turn means the pressure wont be maintained in the engine, and at the...

but they need NOTHING!!! it needs to clamp solid LOL

it's help if they didn't have random bits of rubber gasket and O-ring that get chewed up as you tighten them.

they suck. Removed them to fix vaugeness and knocking before

when you say there's marks on the engine, it could be factory stuff. They use a couple of different coulours of paint pen to mark things to show it's been through QC, what shift etc

try priming the fuel pump twice before you crank over the engine

oil pressure drop would be due to using too small bore hoses, meaning the pressure relief valve in the pump opened earlier, ie high pressure in the lines, but not in the engine

1. you need a thermostatic plate or you'll never get the oil up to temperature, end of story. 2. oil temp needs to be measured in the sump to have any real worth

IF it's that, it's cambelt off, cams out, track down which one it is (easier said than done) replace the faulty part, check for any wear on the cams that could have happened, and re-assemble. It's a medium sized job, probably 4-5 hours at a guess

Track rod end. It's the balljoint bit on the end of the track rod

Re: Project 172 *** Update page 10 -ITB'S - 204bhp *** Video - page 13 no way will you get anything on there that wont strangle the performance. those socks are on too far by the way, fit them so they're only just on the trumpet

ANY motor factor. Check it'ss not just the clip that's broken though, it normally is

I'm 30, and looking for a ph1. 25 isn't close to old lol

massive waste of time. They're also different series engines, so no it's not just a head swap

probably if you're wanting to start from scratch. There's even a throttle body manifold available. Wouldn't bother personally

LOL I knew that, I'll just kick myself it it was something not terminal like rattly VVT, as i would have flown up and driven it home

found the issue yet? I wanted that car :(

exactly the same job

I asked the guy who owns one of the places i do work for today (sells a lot of small engined clios) he said he's normally charged ~£400

It's a notoriously difficult size bolt to find. That's more than it should cost, but doubt you'll find one easier elsewhere

Very unusual to hear of one fail.

rentech is a good shout. Mike is on here too

Mine just went down by over £200. You win some, you lose some

lol, we used to bunk off college to go up and watch test days, way back in '96 I miss that bit

one man does not make a sport. Any GP is well worth the money just for the NOISEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the Aux belt is what runs things, powered by the engine. Power steering, alternator etc. Different to the cambelt Guessing it's a diesel as it says 1.5 under your name

credit where it's due, Henk is pretty good it seems, and honest about limitatons too.

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 7 -ITB'S **** i was thinking the same thing ;) It's rather....erm.....familiar
