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 ????

Update 19/04/2019 Good day today! I’d kind of neglected the car over the last 5-6 weeks, I knew the brakes needed doing, just didn’t have time. Also, the rear wheel bearing/bearings started whining really bad. So today, it was a veryyyyyy long, tiring day. The car tested me today ??? but in...

Cheers for the help! Thankfully the issue sorted itself with a new battery! :D

Just a little update on this little tank...I’ve not done much at all to it, apart from drive it and fit a tyre. It’s now on 124,000 miles, which means I’ve done 6,000 miles in it already! It’s just lapping up the mileage. I do however intend on spending 1-2 days on the car over the Easter...

Converting to a SMF causes all kinds of extra stress too. Not worth the hassle IMO.

Nope, no point at all. Just noisy and looks untidy.

There’s a CS stickered 182 parked up in Woodstock. I pass it most days @MarcJP

I’d 100% also buy one without the aero kit. I was going to buy one a while back - couldn’t decide between the aero kit or non aero/povo exteriorwith A180d badges ?

If in doubt, find another - there’s soooo many for sale.

Take the plunge and start it up lol

100% decline the offer. If you’ve got a good policy - you should be getting ‘like for like’

Rust and lack of replacement parts.

How annoying!!!

Amazing! Definitely going to do mine myself now ???

Fantastic news ??? any insight to how you thought it went? Straight forward?

Afternoon all, Just looking for some pointers. I’ve changed the battery on my DCi, hoping it was just maybe the volts dropping. When the cars been sat for a long period of time (overnight mainly) I get the battery and STOP light flickering as I drive off. The light flickering only lasts for...

So, I’ve changed the battery and I still get a little ‘battery/STOP’ light coming on, just first thing in the morning, when the cars been stood. The light flickers on and off though, it’s not constant.. so obviously that tells me there’s a loose wire somewhere? But I’m confused because it goes...

Cheers for the offer buddy, but I’ll just get new ones for the price of them. I’ve been too lazy to buy them, I’ve still got my new battery in the boot of the car ? I’m just driving around with it in the boot!

Yup, it needs a couple of bits, which I’ve priced up..£88; discs/pads and 2 front springs ? So I could do the whole car for less than a cambelt change cost

Yup, it’s all gates items - and that’s everything replaced, tensioner etc. I’m still tempted to just book a long weekend off work and give it a go. £370 is half the value of the car.. ?
