Assuming your talking about the front brake hoses?

If it’s returned to normal after changing fuel and there’s no faults showing, I wouldn’t worry about it.

It’s not worth a 3 hour drive there IMO.

The only thing I found annoying was paying to park.... I know you redeem the voucher, but still..

I was there 2 weekends ago, good place to visit.

@Andysmithy1 if your planning on getting another one, keep any key parts for yourself IMO. It’s always handy to have spares knocking around. Especially things like sensors etc off the broken engine.

Incredible! So chuffed that you’ve come out the other end with a positive! I think you should get some trophy side skirt stickers for the porka ?

MORE updates! I enjoy seeing your Instagram, but I prefer the in-depth write up on here

Check his reviews, if there’s any comments on the Refurb ones. I’d go for the Refurb one IMO.

I always enjoy seeing an update on your page, they never disappoint! Where did you find your tyres for £100!? Used or new?

Brilliant cars, I’ve got such a love for ph1’s - loved mine back in the day. It is a shame you’ve sold the OZ wheels though, they’re so hard to come by a full set now, would have been worth keeping for the future.

I’ll drop you a PM later buddy!

What condition is it in? How much? I’ve got a 68 campus, which I think has the 100 turbo on it? It is intercooled. @YorkshireKyle

Glad to hear it’s already taking a more Positive direction, at a fraction of the cost. I do hope this car lives on, but with someone else, hopefully on CS. I couldn’t imagine you even considering keeping the car, after the money spent, to end up back at square one with a standard car. I’m...

Fantastic! Mines just soaking the mileage up too. Mines just turned over 125k. I’d like it to last to the 200k mark. I need a few little jobs doing and actually clean the car, and it should keep plodding along. It’s not a car that I hammer in the slightest, so I’d imagine the mechanical sympathy...

Aux belt has definitely seen better days lol

That’s brilliant help! Cheers buddy! Mines not giving me any grief, so would you advise just doing the belt and pulleys? And aux belt? :)

You’d have to use the Ph1 inlet too I believe, should all be pretty straight forward then IIRC edit: just seen your new post, I’m sure it’s not advised to mix and match covers, for reasons I can’t remember. Someone will be along to confirm.

Just spray plenty of WD40 around the glow plugs the day before, then take them out while the engine is hot - I was worried, but mine came straight out without fuss.

@Brigsy this is a Halfrauds 10mm long reach socket. Did my glow plugs perfect. Although @Austin-182 said he has issues using this size?

This looks like something not done before ? Does this mean you’ll be getting another Clio to stick it in? ?

Okay, so...I’m finally getting around to considering the timing belt change, now I have time. A few questions for you guys.. 1) Are the eBay 3 pin locking tools enough/good enough to do the job? 2) Anything else worth changing while both belts are getting changed, inc water pump. I can’t...

I almost cried when I bought a 172 cup about 18 months ago, it was a rough car, but it had an original front bumper, original splitter and bumper inserts unpainted. I loaded the car onto a trailer and smashed the splitter straight off, within 5 minutes of owning the car ? I’ve kept the...

Definitely the best decision you’ve made, I feel relieved for you, Andy. I’d personally just break the whole car up for parts, as even to get it back to standard will cost money. I’d start a new chapter with a completely new/different car.

Why did you almost throw in the towel?

I just put fuel cleaner in once a month and I make sure I give the car some good revs every so often, to keep everything as clean as possible in the fuel system.

Just get a de-cat and centre section removed at the same time, it’ll probably cost about £80, job done. The cars out of main dealer warranty anyway, so I wouldn’t worry.

That looks amazing ????
