bummer, was hoping a dodgy coil was the culprit! I've never known a crank sensor to cause one to idle high, just randomly cut out or struggle to start, possibly worth a go since they are cheap!

mine sounds like this with 2500 miles on the clock, best get it booked in haha

Randomly parked in a carpark in a quiet village :ROFLMAO:

thats the thermostat opened and all the coolant has then went down into the air filled radiator. you will need to top it up again. obviously you will need to find out where the coolant went originally for it to be empty! assume a radiator or hose leak etc

As above change it out for a good quality AGM

Sounds fairly normal for a modern direct injection engine, the injectors all tick like that

Overnight parts from Spain... Nice to see what looks like an unused fag lighter 😂

they wont turn the lights on, just point out to them when you drop it for its retest that you have polished the lenses and they will remove the advisory, ive done that with various garage and the always have a look and think "oh so he has" and then remove advisory

you can get little pumps on eBay for pumping liquid, I've used one of them before. My mate told me i probably shouldn't wet vac a fuel tank but I've not died yet...

Nope there is a metal spacer that sides down the middle of the big rubber doughnut, the small 13mm nut then tightens down against it which holds it all together then that big top hat goes on once on the car found this online which shows it...

Wouldn't be surprised if that's the original! I was fairly certain mine was too!

Yes the spacer is missing that slides down the inside of the rubber doughnut and holds it all together

Ironically it still has MOT on it! but only a month or so, ill stick it for a test once ive given it a once over. There's a wheel bearing in the boot so assume it needs at least one of those :ROFLMAO: It has the usual ph3 peeling heating control panel, so ive got one on route from spain from...

Gave the insides a shampoo as it was horrid. and a detar, clay and quick run over with the machine polisher.. Found a refurbished ph2 gear knob insert (gear pattern indented rather than printed on the ph3) Its an AC car, although some ersehole has removed the condenser and snipped an AC...

A quick tidy up project, "Ill make an easy £500 on that"......... "I like that wee car i might run it for a wee while" - Usual story for me, been here before!.... Anyway, seen a 2005 Clio 1.2 16v Extreme 4 listed on eBay, Starting at £100, Pics were rubbish, description was rubbish. - But it...

I think in days gone by you paid a web designer to build a website as it wasn't something you could easily do yourself without learning to write the code etc, but in the example above we were paying someone to use the tools designed to make it easy for the end user to actually build it...

When i was helping my mate find a solution for his business website a few years ago, we got quotes from 4 or 5 local "web designer/social media support" businesses who seemed to be doing everyone's website locally, all 5 of them were building the website using online tools and were basically...

Awesome work, would love one of these on my Meg GT, I was looking at the engines a few weeks ago side by side as your right they are identical!

Pad sticking in the caliper then freeing off when enough pressure is applied? Id strip the front calipers, clean up and grease the sliders and make sure the pads aren't too tight in the caliper

Nice, what tyres does it have on it? Dealers generally stick ling longs on it and that will definitely make it feel floaty and disconnected.

I've found whenever i break a torx bit they swap them out with the solid ones rather than the security ones with the hole in the middle, seem much stronger

strange one that, could be gearbox related when the load is removed from it but also could be wheel bearing related for the same reason. What happens when you do the same thing, lift off the power but then rock the steering left to right?

Had the car out for a run to blast out the cobwebs before its MOT and it was clear it was down on power, sounded very odd, then i started getting a flashing orange EML. Plugged it in and it wasn't logging any fault codes at all which was odd, messed about swapped a few sensors i had spare that i...

Was fairly common in the UK...

Its available with a much better 6 speed manual, timing chains are not an issue on them and is natively available to drop into that platform where the D4Ft wasnt and will require a lot more work

You would be much better using the H5F 1.2 TCE 120 since it was available in the mk4 clio, That way all you would need is the engine, box, engine loom and ecu/BCM/keycard id imagine

yes but is it the correct plugs? 1.2 16v and 1.2 16v TCE are different. once plugs and coil pack/leads are ruled out id be looking at injectors, thermostat and upstream lambda

I paid £1500 4 years ago, real flawless looking job but 4 years later some issues started appearing!

Every ph2 1.2 16v I've ever seen was 58mm. My ph1 1.2 16v had 52mm, but they use the same smaller front brakes as the 1.2 8v (but the discs are vented) which also runs 52mm hubs

its generally always the switch on them, every one ive owned has had a failed boot switch, they are cheap to change. You can open it from the inside if you climb into the boot from the back seats and flick the latch with a screwdriver
