And some decent stuff 😂.

@Steve_RS @Yorkshire Pudding and myself went to the collecting cars coffee run at The Motorist this morning and for once I took a few pics! Some nice rare cats there and unusually their wasn't a billion abarth 500's. 👌😆. Tbc...

Did you pay the 9k asking price?

Look great them mate 👍. Those abs brackets are a nice upgrade too, at 2.5mm they must be the thickest on the market!

The Alfa toe nail? Looks nice. Badge delete option?

Gave it a little wash ready for the collecting cars coffee run at The Motorist tomorrow. Who wants to bet on it refusing to start in the morning?

It never gets over 30.

The acid one on collecting cars is upto £73k. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2004-renault-clio-v6-phase-2-1

I know you're having fun with the inferno but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-172-TURBO-/154846803955?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

🤷‍♂️Off the top of my head I can't think where that should be connected to!

See if you can pinpoint what's making the noise first.

How long ago was the last belt change? They are 5 year interval for the timing belt. Grease on the belt can't be a good thing. I'm guessing the cars new to you? Maybe someone tried to cure the squeak with a dob of grease?

Aux belt pulls can fail which then usually feeds the aux belt into the timing belt and kills the engine. When were the belts last changed?

Yeah B14's may be a bit soft for track, unless knockhill is very bumpy? Bc's are a similar price.

Have you had an assistant rev it while you have a closer listen? I'd say thats a pulley dieing and it sounds to me like it's squeaking at a certain rpm.

And to think you had 20 clios parked there once. Not much room for anything else now 😂.

On Tuesday I took the wife's car to work and summoned the AA again to see to mine. For the first time ever an actual AA man arrived instead of a recovery wagon. A quick look around and a waggle of the loom above the starter and it fired up first turn of the key. As he was a rather old rotund...

😂😂

Clio owners should get discounted tickets imo. @Nik 👍😂

No chance!

I'd put a roof spoiler on and some gold wheels and decals. That'll make it stand out. 👍

I did look for a stick last night so I could go all Basil Fawlty on it but there's no such thing as trees in deepest Rotherham. And I don't know where the UCH is, but I'm willing to give it a smack. 🔨

This morning on the way to work I stopped off for petrol and the bloody thing took ages to start again. I finished work at 6 pm and again it refused to start. I summoned the AA via the app and was told 2 hours so I cancelled them and summoned the wife who sent her dad to pick me up who took...

I had a mondeo that was making a noise that had a Ford master tech suck air through his teeth like a like a 2 bit plumber. Did I tell the dealer about it when I traded it in? It's possible the previous owner had no dealings with where you bought the car so they can claim they didn't know of any...

Looks great does that mate.

Prewious owners haven't been listed on the log book for a while now though. Who was it who bought a yellow edc that had gearbox issues and he swapped it for a red one 🤔.

Still chasing the knock I decided to swap out the pms top mounts to check the bearings. A nice and easy job to whip the B14's off and swap the mounts to standard renault items that I had in my stash. The pms bearings were fine but the rubber mounts will add a little bit of much needed...

I'm sure @PhillipM said his supplier shut and he was tweaking the design for new material. That was a while back though. If you ant get one I'd go with an evol engineering one. I've run both and couldn't tell the difference.

Thanks, I'll pull them apart and have a measure before I order. 👍

Well I definitely can't hide the knocking. It happens more when I'm on and off the throttle. I need to pull the dampers off and check them anyway as its doing my head in. Any info on the SKF sealed bearings? I've got the new style pms top mounts.
