This car just keeps getting better - MPG has improved since getting the belts done..! It’s gone from 69-70 to 74-75mpg average. Filled up when the fuel light came on - £57 gave me this range..

I’d buy the Autoglym soft top cleaning kit - should do the trick.

That’s strange - it’s on the unload too, at the top - it’s not knocking on the way down. Have you got new top mounts?

You can leave the heating controls as they are and just do an a/c and pas delete set up. I’d definitely swap the rear beam over - no chance I’d keep drums on, unless @Brigsy can say different? You’ve got the 182 master cylinder and everything to swap over, so should be straight forward enough?

Have you taken the hazard button back off and tried it?

There was a group off here doing a Wales run on the weekend - there’ll be photos on here soon I’d imagine.

Perfect weather for it!

Spotted a couple of you today.

Drop me a PM what your plans are for rough times/area and I’ll try and pop up 😃

I may be able to join the Brecon section on Friday. Just to say hi - I won’t bother holding you up in my DCi.

Sounds like your cat is on its way out, the light coming on and off is your car letting you know.

This is crazy.. how you think people on the internet can diagnose a car with such vague description baffles me. Yes, there are common faults - but in order for it to even be diagnosed as common fault, a good description or codes need to be given. Given the cat did throw up a code, yes - that...

Get a fault reader on it and get the error codes.

No idea why you wouldn’t have changed the discs and pads together, with them being changed so close together - your just doing the job twice. As long as your discs aren’t totally worn with lips on the edges that’ll wear through the pads, you should be fine. If the pads are still evenly worn...

You’ve just reminded me that I need to do mine lol. @MLB mind if I ask you to check mine, once I get the radio out?

Update - 04.09.2019 Collected the car from the garage today after having the; 1) Timing belt kit 2) Water pump 3) Coolant 4) Aux belt £320 inc labour @130,259 miles To say the car is feeling good now is an understatement. It drives 10000X better compared to the day I bought it...

If the glow plugs are old - I’d put my money on them then. I had the same issues and expected the worse. I bought genuine Bosch glow plugs off eBay and it starts on the button again. Exactly the same issues as what you stated. But without the glow plug light on. Maybe I changed mine sooner than...

How old are the glow plugs?

I don’t believe you 🙉🙉😂😂 ?!

Car looks lovely! Can you expand on the sticker though? It’s got me curious lol.

Are the FN2’s keyless entry? I wouldn’t worry about the Clio - it’s 9/10 they’re after keyless entry cars these days. Theyre a lot less hassle to get in and started without smashing anything. A £2-3k Clio wouldn’t (IMO) be worth the risk over a newer more expensive car with keyless.

I’ve been so tempted to buy one of these myself - I already have the drill too, so I have two extra batteries I could use on this too

That’s horrific - that’s the kind of driving you see on a police chase programme...

I’ve finally bit the bullet...the car is going to a garage to get the cambelt/water pump and aux belt done.. I don’t feel confident enough to have a go at timing - for the pure fact that the car runs/drives so well, I don’t want to ruin the car by taking on a task I’ve not done before. Timing...

Jesus - surprised you’ve bothered buying bits for the DCI engine... the van sounds like it’s on a thread of hair for life. I’d just bite the bullet and find a 172 for a donor and get it done. I wouldn’t spend another penny on the DCI parts. The underside bolt on parts (lower arms etc) all...

What’s the mileage? Has the crack marked the bearings, or is there a chance the crack would go unnoticed - if the engine wasn’t pulled apart?

What do you class as nothing these days? I’m trying to stay away from buying another lol

I’m happy to say I owned one, back in the day..

I’ve owned 3 Vauxhall’s.. Corsa GSi Nova SRi Corsa VXR All brilliant cars.
