The oil gunk will be because the crankcase breather comes up into the plenum at the back.

Ahh right, parkers are wrong then as they quote the 1.9D at 65bhp and the 1.9dTi at 80. Would make for quite a quick motor then, when I was at college in doncaster there used to be a gal that had one. If it was one of these then it'd make for a right little sleeper.

Isn't that the 1.9 dCi engine ? Thought they only put them in the mk2 ph2s and there v.rare, there mentioned in the manual though.

http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/data.aspx?model_id=724&id=18493 Pretty much the same as the 1.2 16v baring torque obviously, its an old school mechanical injection diesel afaik so its nothing on the modern diesels.

Could be done without but I found it much easier as said above to get the wheels off and the car up on axle stands.

Though on the no claims front even though you won't loose you no claims it does seem to push your premuim up even though it wasn't your fault. My mates mum got rear ended by a taxi driver and when he came to renew (she was a named driver on his policy) it bumped his premuim up about £300. May...

75bhp

Thought you might of noticed it as everyone else seemed too :), just finished fitting a bmc to it 20 mins before and it sounds like an F1 car in vtec that noise is very addictive.

You were going down coventry road towards dodwells roundabout, was going the other way in a rather loud civic coupe. Car was looking good as ever.

When I rebuild mine theres no gasket you use a specific renault sealant (may be other options), was about £10 from the stealers get more than enough to do the job.

Where are you based ?

They were fitted at the import centre afiak.

Its on the oval plate on the drivers side door shut. Usually starts MV***. Where *** will be three numbers.

Are there any sensors of the top of the a pillars and an led by the gearstick?, if not no alarm. If its an import it won't have one.

And thats why I never get under a car thats only on a jack whether it be a trolley one or otherwise, if i'm going anywhere near under it then its axle stand time.

Theres only one way, the door cards have to come off and then you can disconnect the handle linkage to the lock and remove two securing bolts and they clip out. Not as bad as it sounds, took me about 20 minutes a side. Hardest part is getting the door card off and thats easy enough.

Could just be stuck maybe ?

Well i've done it with my 1.6 (was way before it needed it, long story) and it wasn't the easiest thing in the world because its a b*****d to get the gearbox off. But its nothing out of the ordinary for a fwd transverse mounted engine car.

Yeah always noticed it when i've been cleaning the rear window, should have one really its quite a sharp edge without it.

If you mean on the inside round the edge then no it doesn't have one. ot: ohh 1000 posts.

This the rear screen or one of the rear side windows ?

Its in there you're just not looking hard enough :p, its for closing the vents off completely so no air can get in. Its what you get instead of a recirc button.

Reduces induction noise, take it off and go for a drive you'll see what I mean. :D

haha, safe to say they won't get that. Unless ebay syndrome kicks in with someone.

I payed £40 for mine in pearl black. Was quite a good price though methinks.

Yep, £400 is the max i'd be prepared to pay for a set of seats + doorcards. Maybe a bit more if it included a wheel and mats but still not a lot more but thats mainly because I want neither. £550 is miles over the top, £300 was a good price i'd snap their hand off if I found one for 300 notes.

The part you found was probably the plenum, its the box at the back of the engine that it connects too is what you want.

I managed ~300 to a tank over the last two weeks, worst result ever. Probably because the AC hasn't really been off much, might be cold with it on but looks like i'm paying for it. 300 miles in two week is a record low miliage for me, finally looks like i'm starting to do less miliage thank god.

Hmm, looks like they changed the design in some way with the 2005 1.4 engine. Previously the filters were the same in the 1.4 and 1.6 and i've got a 33-2194, like this...

Hmm, both of the dynamiques i've had have both had the glovebox light, never had a problem with either of them and the battery.
