id start at the thermostat, you would expect the opposite with a stuck open thermostat where the coolant temp would go to normal under load and then drop off again under low load, but on a modern car with radiator airflow flaps etc that can open and close you never know! where are you taking...

Adam Audio T5V / T7V studio monitors /end thread! even after a few years I still feel like they are the biggest bargain of the century for cost vs performance.

as above, seized aux tensioners seem to be the killer of the belts. I've no idea how old the belt is on my van, ill do it next time the engines out, but now that its an older motor and doesn't do many miles, id happily leave and inspect up to 10yrs

it will fit yes, same engine and box as a 1.6 clio

aux belt slipping?

id guess £1500 for a flawless finish on my exclusive was a bargain paint job after reading this!

Welcome to the forum shigeo-san! I absolutely love how polite Japanese people are. Let's see some pictures of that twingo Gordini!

there was loads of us back in the day looking into solutions but no one ever found anything as far as I'm aware, at one point there was hope that a Mondeo tdci HPFP could be fitted, but I don't think anything ever came from it. This was all MK2 bits though, im not sure many people really pushed...

I've had almost all.of my aux pulleys start to fail the last few years, that does sound a similar noise but generally the pulley starts to wobble where that one looks ok. The fact it's due a belt anyway means I'd just replace it all anyway! Aux belt and tensioner long overdue they are 3yrs 36k...

There's a nice dci 106 gordini on eBay the now that would be a nice replacement

If a garage is worried about pressing that out, id be looking for a new garage!

they bolt in, not press

Just grease up the bushes, I had to do it on my wife's as it sounded terrible!

Got to have been on here at some point, it's got our wheels and our rear badge 😂

There is some hilarious CCTV footage of that!

Ahhh good old MK3 ownership! - it had been using a bit of oil which was unusual for an F4R in my experience as none of mine have ever used any, not an issue as I do about 1000 miles a year in it, except with my new job I've been banging it back and forward to Glasgow and hadn't given it too much...

Just an update to this, as I had the car stripped yesterday, it's been fitted for just over 12 months, 1000 miles... I'd go for the cheap ones as this is starting to corrode already.

I would have thought so yes!
