Nothing wrong with a touch of OCD (obsessive Clio Disorder) I just worked out I've had 27 Clios now! not including ones I've bought to sell on! Still not done the V6 thing yet......

Halfords for me, ive got a cheap sealey one for small stuff think it only does upto 30nm

Those are the non turbo plugs, according to the OPs post above with the photo that's a turbo engine. Just stick your reg into autodoc and order a set of NGKs, the turbo uses a specific plug and they don't run properly on the NA plugs

For 90% of run of the mill faults I found an OBD Bluetooth adaptor and torque pro was good enough. - I actually preferred it over rstuner. I use an Autel Maxicom MK900 these days as my go to for all cars, not cheap at £500 but money well spent if you regularly need one

my 197 was very bad, I replaced the oring on the map sensor and got one of those securing brackets, it was like a new car, the RSTuner map also made a big differnce especially when cold

Fair play thats good going! has it been fairly reliable? EDIT: That smile your on dashcam sticker is absolute nonce behaviour however

That's minor, fixed loads like that, blow torch, block of wood and hammer and hit it out

Euro are showing availability from Monday but that's a full timing belt kit

I've had this with a tensioner before, while you could line up your old tensioner, get a feel for it and then set your new tensioner the same regardless of the marks its probably worth just getting a replacement.

W166 PJM got broken for parts not long after i sold it

few Ive owned over the years

I've no idea, I've got an autel and it allows me to do it in the ECU hot functions menu it also allows me to increase or decrease idle by 100rpm of the factory base

This won't do anything. Unplug the TB and leave it disconnected for 30 seconds, once reconnected turn ignition on and leave it for 30 seconds before starting. When doing this you hear the TB running through a sequence (on the 1.2 16v anyway!) Or plug in diagnostic machine and reset adaptations

Rare in that colour but the fact the side skirt rivets have been painted over and rust is visible at the base, id bet there's a nasty surprise under that side skirt

Looks perfectly normal to me?

EFI, having owned a handful of them and had a few maps, EFI is the place to go. The injectors are pushed pretty hard from factory though and some places wont even map them on standard injectors. Pop a set of 172/182 injectors in it though and you will have 135hp ish - can push upwords towards...

I don't know much about these engines, there will no doubt be some golden threads on here from back in the day. As you say you wont really get much more power from it and will struggle to find any aftermarket parts these days but just stick to the old school tuning methods, cone filter with as...

Rubbish weather today but still got some time to start a clean up. Fitted a set of new genuine mats Loving the little details of stuff I haven't seen for years!

Weathers been too crap today to give it a clean and get a good look at it but this is promising!

Theres always plenty of options for 2.0 16v fun if i need it 😂

Yeah plan is to just keep it factory and maintain it! Today's job is making space in the garage for it 😂

Yeah she's pretty clean having been garaged all it's life apparently, no fading either!! If it was a campus with no sunroof it would be ideal for a conversion

Collected yesterday, no decent pics yet but car is mint. Surprise of the day was that it's capsicum red, not the deep cherry red colour that I assumed it was! Started the trip up the road, I had let my daughter stay off school and come with me for an adventure, bad move as shes very observant...

Those who follow my various project threads know I'm always messing about with various MK2's and buying cheap stuff, tidying up then generally shifting them on once I'm done. I do it for the satisfaction and rarely actually make any money as I always like to chase perfection. Recently its been...

That service book is giving me a sore head

Your post on the forum enquiring about getting it thru an MOT 😂 In that case just replace the manifold with a factory one with cat, job done

Does it still have the cat on the manifold? Mine still has the cat on the manifold but ive done away with the 2nd cat on the exhaust system and it passes emissions no problem

Bet that goes well!

yeah i get that but cant you use AI to generate the 3d model

Can you not get AI to do this stuff these days, i seen everyone was doing this GTA AI thing on social media so stuck my van into it as ive never tried it before and was curious how easy it was.
