Fair play to you, the bumper looks like a tidy job too! I’d leave the bottom bit silver, personally. Keep the pictures coming :)

Just a little update, This is the first proper picture I’ve taken of the car. No idea why I even stopped to take the picture! It’s just a DCi... I feel like my interest in cars is slowly returning and it’s my ‘petrol(diesel) head’ creeping back out, now I’m starting to have more spare time...

I think you’d be better off keeping the Ph2 IMO, with the rust being such a problem now. If you want a ph1 that much, just put the wings/bumper and headlights onto yours. That’s what I’d be doing

Almost impossible to diagnose over the intermaweb...best off getting it plugged in to see if there’s any faults stored.

I don’t think there’s enough content on here to be separating everything. Plus, I think it’s quite nice to have them all together, easier to skim read and keep up to date on all the recently updated ones.

I’ve ordered some genuine Bosch glow plugs as the slower start first thing in cold (2 to 3 degrees and less) doesn’t seem to have improved with a full tank of redex. It starts on the button 9/10 times but the cold snaps seem to slow the start. There’s no record I can find on the glow plugs ever...

There’s actually none worth buying under £600 on eBay at the moment. 90% of them are non runners and the other 10% are for repairs.

Just get those cheap quick release rubber things, job done.

It is on the higher end on the prices, but it was the only good one I came across with decent mileage. The rest were rattling and knocking going over normal roads, smoking and on average they were all moon miles with leaking sunroofs.

I’ve just bought a Mk2 1.5DCi. 2005 (55) 117k 4 owners (2 were husband and wife) Full service history Brilliant condition inside and out. The biggest selling point to me also was NON Sunroof. It was up for £999, I gave £900. I sold my ruined Mk2 1.2 for £140 then. So it cost me £760. The...

Perfect ???? Thank you!

Cheers ? so assuming the choice is just vented and non vented?

Good little thread. I’ve recently bought a DCi myself. I’m enjoying driving it! They’re fun things. I’m enjoying mine so much too, that I am also going to be putting some 1*2 stuff on it. They’re perfect daily drivers. Mine also needs discs/pads - which ones did you buy from ECP? There’s 2...

There’s a blue one on the ring too, with vids

I refuse to buy a Clio with a sunroof lol. Mines showing 71.4mpg after 600 miles of commuting. Brilliant little cars. Mines taking slightly longer to start start first thing in the morning, but hardly noticeable - full tank of shell Vpower diesel and redex next to give the injectors etc a bit...

I’ll be keeping this thread updated as the progress slowly continues. I have found out that this is actually the DCI 68 Campus model! At first it quizzed me how (what I thought was a 65) a 65 had an intercooler on it, then just assuming the car had been messed with. A 68 Campus actually...

Fantastic @GrahamS ? The videos I’ve seen with setting the tensioner etc correctly. That put me off. I think I’ll give this a go now ? cheers buddy!

Graham, Mine has a/c! Could you expand on how it’s easier please. It sounds like I’m going to have to give this a go myself. :)

@roland rat I believe he is ^ ? @197.

There’s some on eBay iirc

What the heck are you doing with this now? Breaking it!? Lol @roland rat

I’ve never really done a cambelt, because of how easy it is to mess an engine up. How many hours do you think it would take as a first attempt?

Ahhhh, now you’ve said that. I might have to look into it, if it’s not as bad as a 172 Have you seen any guides to read? Or a YouTube vid?

Talking of cambelts... mines overdue on the DCI I’ve bought. Does anyone have any idea how much i should be paying for a cambelt/aux belt and waterpump change? Cambelt is the only thing I won’t change myself.

@SharkyUK I was actually thinking what you’ve written above. CS is a brilliant site and an honest/helpful one too, but I think the honesty is making it sound like your on trial... You know what your plans are and your determined to get this built, which is brilliant. I think you should keep...

I’d be just buying another trophy at this stage, a standard, unmodified one. Possibly a higher mileage one, that you could use without any resale value worries. Then just drive it everyday and get your years of missed enjoyment back. Then I’d just break this current one and keep any spares...

Anyone after a DCi 100 intercooler set up? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283238872394

I thought 2018 might have been the year it would have surfaced.. I genuinely take my hat off to you, for the patience you have.
