Well worth fixing if the rest of the car is decent and the engine is good apart from fuel system. Even if you spend just under a grand getting it right, it will most likely run fine until the car falls to bits, and a grand will only get another cheap car which probably will need repairs.

Definitely do waterpump, if it fails in the future its the same job again. Got mine done fairly easy by lifting the engine up and down on the jack from memory.

Depends what mintex pads you are using i guess, im trying a set of m1177 at Croft at the end of the month, endurance compound.

Cheapo sds if for occasional use. I bought a Titan 240v sds from screwdix for £40 ish and i have absolutely abused it demolishing things with the chisel on and it refuses to die, perfect for the diy’er or weekend warrior. 1/2” impact gun best bet is Dewalt dcf899p2. As much poke as the...

Rb looks clean (y)

Sound i already have the deep drive set from Halfords so should be ok. Not looking forward to it tbh, if any snap its hassle :cautious:

Check the aux pulley is in good nick on the crank and the cam/crank oil seals, so you wont need to revisit. Need to do the glowplugs on my dci as its a bit moody on idle when cold, what socket did you use to do yours, as i believe they need a thin wall deep drive socket

Same price too, im still tempted to buy a set :LOL:

Speedline do the et38 in anthracite now as made some enquiries when ordering stickers recently, i nearly bought a set for my dci had to bite my tongue when on the phone!

15x7 et38.

Converting the current dci to van is an option to be fair. Ive been looking at the later campus vans and they are euro4 but still £140 a year tax, so not as cheap as the cars.

Im sure i seen this at Croft last week on Good Friday, looked like the same car as 3 holes in numberplate recess. Still very clean could not tell any accident damage.

Cheers mate ? it drives great too engine still nice and healthy, uses hardly any oil or nowt. Lass at work could not believe it is on 144k now.

Cheers mate, steady away and chipping away as been slacking over winter lol. Started new job this week, basically i do property surveys which in the old job had a company van (68reg Kangoo). New job has quite an increase in pay but need to use my own car so pressed the clio into daily use, ive...

Went to Malton and got there by 830am and the estate was full so had to park in the overflow field sadly As pictured with my mates FK2 Type R, we had an awesome blast over Blakey Ridge early doors. Usual brake dust Pic when leaving found on facebook Croft prep soon as full day booked for...

Give the cars a clean up last bank hol weekend as the weather was awesome. Love the ceramic coat on the 250, half hour to clean and it looks like you have spent all day on it Blue meg out of the garage for the first time in ages, really need to recomission it as still an awesome motor, hardly...

Yeah bosh normal pads back in for road use, use the good uns for track. Ten min job Ferodo reckon the pad crumbling is normal on the DS1:11 and does not affect braking, so unless severe just send it

Poor connection at a guess

I just unplugged the relevant uch plug and probed the door switch plug and the pin on the uch plug, extend test meter leads with spare wiring if necessary.

Assuming the door switches are ok - Pin the wiring back to the uch connector for door switches and check continuity. If all good its prob a UCH fault, i had one that said the boot was open all the time.

Stick a Renfort plate on

Pull the shaft back out and stick a timesert in the bad thread, permanent fix.

Had a spare day today so dug the d/a out and give the clio a once over. Fallout remover early doors whilst temp was low, blasted off, snow, 2 bucket wash, dry. Clayed, taped up, quick correction with an orange hexlogic & CG V36. This removed quite a few swirls and scratches, did not go too...

Mine is tight against the bearing without the washers, cant fit then unless you started bending the bracket and none supplied, i assumed they have been omitted on later shifters. Bolted it up without and had no issues.

Full chip one is about £120 on ebay, i have had one for ages and its been fine. Avoid the really cheap ones as they are s**t.

Looks sweet. I have been looking for a clio van for work, and most are about knackered now, looked at one this week and the arches were rotten and needed loads of bits sorting, seen an 08reg one with low miles and that had rusty arches too. Yours looks 100x better nick

Jack the front right up and leave the back on its wheels if only doing clutch, always plenty of room. Need a decent jack to get it up to height any of the smaller jacks will struggle.

Buy a full chip clone clip off ebay, around £120ish. You will need an old Xp or win7 32bit laptop for the software. Avoid the cheapest under £100 clone clip as they crash and break easy.

Noticed a fair bit of black smoke on turbo spoolup recently..initially i couldnt really be arsed looking into it, air filter is new and it was acceptable enough for 143k. Anyway got up early today and whipped egr and boost pipe off, not looked at either since cleaning both when i got the car...

Looks good in silver, i think its fairly rare as dont see many in that colour. Proper cup by the looks of it too. Enjoy (y)
