where can i get some of them silver willy wheels? they are sweet!!

i paid £50 for a gearbox from ebay, and fitted it myself over a weekend with the help of a mate - much cheaper than the £900 garage quote!!!

cheers mate, will try and find one..

the engine mount ive bought was secondhand, and was just the metal part..My local autofactors wanted £125, but i guess that would have included the bit below at that price...

cheers mate, cant ever seem to get pics posted properly on here - specifically made sure that had the .jpg on the end, but it still didnt show up :@

Well, after being told by the garage that my offside engine mount was cracked, i bought a new one, only to see that its not the mount thats gone, its the rubber bit it sits on, so i need to know what that part is called, and how much its likely to cost...Car is a 1995 1.8 16v by the way. Cheers...

My first attempt at using a clay bar - not sure on whether it looks any better than just a wax.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/dan-hipgrave/DSCF0005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/dan-hipgrave/DSCF0008.jpgAlso cleaned up the engine bay and sprayed the cam...

oh didnt realise all valvers were like that, glad to know mines not got any problems, but its still annoying having to clean around that area of the engine bay every week..

I have fluid coming out of the power steering reservoir cap - is this a sign of damage in the system or faulty components?? Ive changed the powersteering fluid and its still doing it , everytime after driving the car, there will be fluid on the top of the cap, so whats going on?!?

Cheers for your help, will go and check it out in a minute.....

After taking the engine and gearbox out my 1.8 16v last weekend, since putting it back in the oil pressure guage doesnt read anything at all (engine is running fine lol) so obviously theres a wiring fault - where do the wires for that guage run to?? (It was temperamental before removing the...

well, this was a harder job than i expected lol The engine really is crammed into that small bay, it took me all day to get the engine out!! Anybody who wants a guide on getting the engine out/changing the box on a 1.8 16v, i can probably write one up quickly.... Dan

cheers for the help guys, im definately removing the engine. Going to start the job in about an hour, and hope to have it finished by Saturday night :o Dan

Hi guys, im going to be removing the engine from my Clio 16v tommorrow, to fit a new gearbox in, and just need to know if there are any special knacks to doing it, anything i should watch out for/do to make the job easier, or is it a case of following the haynes manual? Cheers, Dan

Vauxhall Nova - great little car :)

i was camping in beausejour but didnt have my Clio then lol spotted a few nice ones though..

cheers mate, yeh it runs fine, well sounds kinda like a diesel sometimes... Will look into buying and fitting some gaskets tommorrow then

on a Clio 1.8 16v (1994), got spark plugs literally dripping with oil, and oil in the chambers they are located in, whats it mean? Big engine repair bill or what? Im assuming its piston rings, but dont know for sure.... Cheers :)

oook this gets wierder. Basically, before when i did a check on the car online, using VIN plate, it says the number is incorrect, and im very sure the previous owner said it was 2 owners, but same one for the last five years?! So basically, in a newbie to the site, ive bought a nicked Clio...
