no rest should be servicable

i quite like the back of the bonnet being raised up was thinking of doing this myself

new head if thats the case mate. when the cambelt snaps the pistons hammer the valves back up in to the head.. where they enter the combustion chamber on a slant they are hammered up sideways, and the sharp edge of the valve has been known to peirce through the comustion chamber in to a water...

nope sod all to do with aircon,,, its filters fuel vapour through charcol, then a solenoid valve on top of it allows it in to the inlet manifold to be burnt at idle etc decided by the ecu

does it missfire at all or it just lacking power

ah.. just seen the cambelt is gone. i've seen broken valves peirce water galleries in the past !

what and it swallows endless amount of water with the engine not running? thats a physical impossibilty, its more likely you just cant see where its going. if you were to keep filling it eventually it would come out of somewhere. could be leaking in to the bores but if its drinking it as...

could be going bloody anywhere, you need to see where its dripping out of in order to answer the next questions

brake fluid level is low, probably due to pads being worn. those lights come on when fluid gets low edit - how can two of you reply in the time it takes me to type a message! lol

dosn't expand with temp change is the reason i heard

and yep thats the kiddy

there isnt one really (well i coulnt find one) ended up having to figure it out and make two door looms myself.. just let me know exactly what you need and i'll sort it out its a bit of a mare though - motor is connected directly to uch via its two wires, them from the uch you have a main...

earth... had the same thing when i fitted my dash loom got any other querks with the electrics??? i'd say check all the earths if not then can only really be uch

the wirings mad on the drivers window... does in one touch down fine but nothing back up again as said does it click at all? sounds like the switch to be honest

you think you lot have problems. mine slams shut at 130 mph! lol

you'll be reet :cool:

im sure it would be easy,,,, as even with the pencil coils they still run wasted spark next time one comes in missfiring im gonna give it a go

had it not actually popped out/moved at all though? nice welding! will learn to do that one day, lol

not really without diagostics mate

throttle body. in my experiance, the "glowplug" light as i call it is as you say an electrical fault indicator.. and from my own findings messing about with unplugging things that light only comes on when theres a fault with one of the upper sensors if you like ie the ones on the plenham...

what car/engine/year/fault missfiring?

coil pack i last got from renault was i think off the top of my head 47 quid. defiantely no more than 60 retail never had a tdc sensor cause missfires like thats its normally starting problems/cutting out

ah you are a posh essex girl :rasp: romford... get to fcs you know it makes sence..

wiper arms off, two plastic clips at the extreme ends of the scuttle, big seal strip lifts off, passenger side scuttle panel lifts out first unclips upwards /pulls away from screen/unclips from wing all at the same time sort of thing hard to explain but obvious when you are looking at it, same...

lol just let us know the problem you have fella no point trying to guess from other peoples problems. but yeah what he said.. a missfire!

and the only time (this is the one thing that genuinely anoys me about main dealers) that you would change a complete wiring loom is if its melted beyond recognition ie engine fire.. 9times out of 10 you get a wire, a few wires broken/dry joints etc which you trace and repair

thats just about the most vague question i've ever heard in my life (you realise if you stretched the "wiring loom" out you could probably wrap it round johnny vegas 1000 times. what part of wiring loom are we talking, engine, dash, rear, upper, door? lets scrap that question and tell me...

right you've changed the plugs,, next you need to let it tickover, and see if each coil in the coilpack is firing by pulling each lead off of the coil pack one at a time and visually checking for spark and listening for change in engine note you may want to use some insulated pliers if you are...

if you can get hold of one of the later boxes that has the welded in retainer then you are on a winner. other than that, here are some of matt blacks rather choice words of wisdom http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2401809&postcount=15
