    Kit's Ph1 172

    Back to 4 cylinder!!! Injector 1 was faulty, so I replaced that. Fuel rail out....eventually! Ready for a bit of a clean New injector ready to go in. I know I should have chanegd all 4 I think, mainly as a precuation kind of thing. Glad it is working now. About to purchase Castle...

    Running on 3 cylinders and blowing exhaust - linked?

    Sorted. Injector 1 was swapped over and now it runs like it should. I knew I should have done all 4, but funds have been tight this month, any other month I would! Thanks to @Duk for your link and the guide you found to do an injector change.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Currently fighting with the injector rail to get it back in. Hands have gone numb from the cold. Didn't realise how much of a tight fit small O-rings can make! Hopefully after this it will be a 4 cylinder again.

    Just been told that it has a P0201 error code, so cylinder 1 isn't working. My brother said he removed the injector plug from it and it made no difference. Did the same to injector 4 (the only one he said he could get to without removing the rail guard) and it got worse. Injector 1 in the one...

    [Apr 2, 2016] CS Areas Day @ Spring Action Day (Castle Combe)

    @TimR26 I need to wait until pay day next week before I buy, I should do this by 1st March, is this ok? I need remaining funds to fix the car this weekend. It's been expensive on the car this month, stupid thing.

    If your car was off the road, what would you do to it?

    I took mine off the road this winter. The jobs I did: * Removed all remaining interior and painted the insides * Put some of the interior back in * Braided brake lines * Full suspension change, with top mounts and rear arb I wish I had done more, like change more bushes, gave the wheel...

    its all pointing towards a duff injector. Will hopefully diagnose and change it this weekend. Glad its not my daily car, having a second car has been a god send recently!!

    Have had a P0201 error back in August - car was sat unused for a week in the pouring rain. Misfire, three cyclinders and before I could pull over it was fine. It has been faultless ever since, although the car hasn't been used much since as it was taken off the road a few weeks after. The EML...

    I have seen this thread, I probably should have paid a little more attention to it. I don't have the car with me atm so I can't do anything to it to check (unless my brother is tinkering with it). I am tempted to change the coil pack and HT leads as well as a precaution anyway. Did you replace...

    Those wheels are realllllly nice. I think I may have found what I want to replace mine with now!

    Job for next weekend then when I get back home! The OBD reader I have has picked up a previous injector issue and said which one it was a few years back. It seems to work well on the Clio compared to the other cars it has been used on. All these problems have to happen when the car is back on...

    how do you check for a bad injector? Swap them over and see if the misfire changes?

    Time to start swapping the injectors around to find the bad one?Or I did read somehwere to unplug each injector inturn while running, if it makes no difference then that is the bad one. But I don't really fancy pulling out injector plugs while the car is running! Or I just need to man up I did...

    Presume the coil pack off my 1.4 daily Clio wont work 😂 From what I can find, there is no evidence of the coil pack being replaced in the huge stack of receipts I have. Car is on 167k miles, so it may be time to change them anyway! Just from past experience and what I have been told...

    Having issues with the car running on three cyclinders, also idles like a pig. Started with a constant EML Saturday morning, which the OBD reader said "Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected" (I was expecting a crank sensor issue as it hasn't been starting). Car ran fine on all 4 cylinders...

    I still need to figure out how to upload pictures direct from my phone! But here is one of the spark plugs, they all look the same Oh and obligatory alignment print out when I got the new tyres fitted :tongueclosed: not sure how the right rear camber can go from OK to bad without it being...

    Front drivers hub nut removal

    That's the better bearing iirc, those kind of things I would rather go for a better quality item. GSF do the same bearing and members get discount there. Also be careful when pressing the bearing out, I bent the calliper mounting points on my hub as the bearing was proper wedged in.

    Steering cowling

    I thought it was some kind of theft protection to help stop or make it harder to force a screw driver into it. I may rip mine out if others have, it does weigh quite a bit!

    Kit's Ph1 172

    I was right, I have had a falling out with the car today.....it's decided to be a three cylinder :weary::rage: after checking all plugs, leads and injector wiring and resetting the EML it was running fine, I left it idling for ages. Then went to drive it, got less than a mile and EML came back...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    I think it is a better piece of kit, it looks a lot sturdier. Also doesn't hang as low underneath the car as Whiteline. From what I have driven the car it has made a big difference.

    Kit's Ph1 172

    I bought it second hand unused. I paid £160 for it. I think they are £190 new. Is it for your RB? As I don't suggest getting the 22mm one like I have! It's quite stiff! The 19mm is probably a lot better for normal road use. After a bit of looking I the engine bay....crank sensor look fine. I...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    Apparently it is a "Random Cylinder Missfire". Great! All spark plugs look ok, cool pack looks fine and so do the HT leads. Need to check the injectors next. Could this be a crank sensor issue?

    Kit's Ph1 172

    I have a strong feeling I am going to fall out with the car today.....the EML has now come on. Need to get the code reader out when I get home and see how much this is going to cost me. Then I need to try and sort the exhaust out as a temporary fix. But getting tyres fitted atm, been told have...

    What does your race car/track car weight?

    I don't even know what the paperwork it was to have it weighed, it was like an MOT certificate kind of thing. I know there is loads more to come out of it, just future problems......will be going plastic Windows hopefully this summer. Cage is needed before j start going fibreglass panels.
