Sweeeeeet

I'd be tempted to get it checked over fully and save wasting cash. As Dan has already suggested, a compression test and even a timing check would be a good place to start but a quick session having the live data checked properly by someone that can read the Matrix may reveal something out of...

Check the plug is still connected to the throttle body

Better brakes innit... Come on Fred

You can replace the stem seals without removing the head... I've done a few petrol units now without taking the head off but as above, you really want to be sure they are the problem as it's not a five minute task.

I've got a dCi '80 Megane II for £1450... Good luck with a K9K X65 for under £1500 though

Serious or troll? Of course it's not "right" LoLz Sounds like an earth problem to me but needs investigating properly by a competent person. Mick

Agreed - it needs a proper session and the problem investigating, under standing and then fixing. Mick

Oh, I'm sorry for being busy but it was only two weeks... I never take bookings any further in advance than that as people tend to go elsewhere without letting us know. You managed to get a booking in for your timing belt okay though and then cancelled it so getting a date obviously isn't that...

I just happen to have one sat under my work bench all wrapped up and ready to "go" It came from a running car btw that was broken for parts. I foolishly fell for a sob story and broke the head from the B/E for a guy and as the B/E was in my way I scrapped the block (but pulled the crank/rods...

Apparently not if local-ish people are using Mr Clutch over that price LoLz

Ah yes, now I remember... Timing belt as well.

I knew I wasn't the only one and as you are queer... It's amazing we have something in common ;) Also subscribed x

Wounded to hear this news Dave but yeah, it's a common failure when the automatic tensioned aux belts fail. Is the engine completely dead (ie: piston ninjas have been in and stolen a pot out of the bottom end) or are we just talking about 8-12 bent valves and a new timing belt? Mick Diamond Motors

Hmm, I can't remember anyone getting in touch asking to change a clutch on a Clio II recently but that said I've had a bit to drink today (guilty). Thanks anyway... Hopefully he'll get his money back

I'm in Nottingham and supply/install OE Valeo kit for £380 and includes for new gearbox oil to. Mick Diamond Motors

All I read was "I took my car to Mr Clutch" and then I started laughing... Knowing them, they've fitted the friction material backwards. I can also believe they've tried to tell you they have done the job twice because generally they hire t***s with no experience or qualifications. How much...

It's a cup thing... Well, it's always cups I see do this never FF's Could be a CTS issue or problem with the pedal, the TB or the wiring between the two. Needs seeing to say I'm afraid. Mick

IF it has one it will be next to the fuel tank on the underside of the vehicle (drivers side normally) however, it could also have the in tank unit in which case leave well alone. Mick

It depends on the condition of the turbo but normally, a bearings and seal overhaul (retail) is around £180 and it comes fully refurbished looking like new with a warranty. I've sent them loads over the years and I've only ever had one come back (sods law, it was my own) which they turned...

You knows it f**k-nutz x

The 225/R26/27 bottom pulley is over twice the diameter of the 172/182 equivalent so it's obviously going to make it faster due to the increased rolling radius. Be careful though as the increase in radius will require more torque to make it turn so the engine won't rev up as fast... Maybe...

I was panicking then until I read your Dad has access to balancing equipment... It's doomed to fail without! Midland Turbo will hook you up for sure as they do all our Turbo work. Mick

School boy error... I've done it before myself (I've also forgetten to reconnect the clutch cable before to).

+1 Then kick him in the ****!!! What a complete Jeb-end.

Jesus, i'd have stopped him there and then if I'd seen him routing wires around the doors... It's the "I'll have a go" attitude that starts fires!

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas then chap and would need to see it to be able to hit it. Mick

Also, the waste gate won't open/close whilst giving it beans at idle.

You're lucky that 100shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake... Seriously though, you've got a leak somewhere. Check the manifold/turbo gaskets and the full pipework/FMIC. The waste gate does open on the small dCi turbo but it takes a fair bit of effort to manually actuate them.

Nottingham - its a nice drive ;)
