I just tested the battery on 2.5k rpm and it dropped from 12V to 10V, then on idle it dropped to 8V,
so i've taken the battery out for another charge, I guess it's new alternator time.
On cold starts the aux belt is squealing,
could a slack aux belt cause the alternator to not recharge the...
I just got my car going after 2 months of it being an ornament,
i've got a dodgy alternator which drained the battery.
I've just put a multimeter on the alternator and it's putting out 12.5 volts,
don't they normally put out 14V?
I lived in a flat where the breakfast bar was smaller than that spoiler,
i'll never understand why people feel the need to f*ck with a car that looks good to begin with.
I'd love this as a dog carrier, I also like how it looks like a hearse,
bonnet vents need a coat of black though.
Alright for £2k I think.

It span twice as fast as my old one, so it's still good.
It might just need a kick up the arse to get it started.
I can hear the fuel pump prime, the throttle body twitches, it makes all the right noises
and the other battery was fully charged.
It doesn't turn over at all, just click, no immobiliser light or nothing,
no battery light either which is new, but all the internal electrics work fine.
The starter motor is the one you sent me Daniel, it span a lot better than my old one,
we tested both of them off the car.
When I get the...
I've tried every combination of opening the doors, pressing the button,
turning the key, it's just dead, if it was a horse i'd f*cking shoot it.
I think you're right Rob, I think i'll get my cousin to take it to Freds on his lowloader,
f*cking sick of the thing now.
I'll just have to wait for...
I need to move my car so i've stuck in the battery from another car,
but the car won't turn over at all, turn the key and 'click' dead!
I tried jump starting it from the other car but my alarm would not stop going off,
and could no be turned off, so I swapped the battery but it's still f*cked...
We need CS members that are local to him to show up and look at it,
one with a Williams, one with a Ph1 172, a Ph2 172, a 182, a 197 & a 200.
Then turn round to him and say 'Right mate, which 2.0L Clio engine is it again'? lol
Other than the induction kit, his engine bay and a Dymaniques engine bay still look identical to me,
we still have zero proof it's a 2.0L in his car, just this badmanz word on it innit bruv.
He said 'i've had it checked out' how exactly, compression test?
He seems like the kind of pellet that...
Ok his engine :
1.6 Dymanique engine :

Chris, tell him your so excited about test driving a real 2.0L Clio,
as you've been having to make do with a 182 and that's only got the 2.0L RenaultSport engine in it.....innit.
Chris please ask him how come when you type 2.0L Clio engine into Google images it's a different engine that comes up,
but when you type 1.6L Clio engine, his engine comes up.
