hey all,
my little 1.2 clio has decided to break, well the gearbox has.
i was planning to sell it and buy a new car however this has happened.
is it worth spending the £££ to get the gearbox fixed? or do i just spend more £££ which i had saved and drop a 182 or 172 engine, gearbox etc in...
managed to limp it to the garage today and was told that without taking the head off to see exactly whats wrong they wont know for sure but all the symptoms lead to them assuming it has dropped a valve quoting £600-£800.
ouch aye. this about right?
should i or can i have a go myself? i am...
yeah more like 3 cylinders, its come off the mount before and its no where near the same,
ive tried not to fire it up as im concerned its goign to cause more damage if not already done so,
what else is there i can do to help u guys?
make a video and post it u if i have time?
driving home from the gym and got half way home when i heard a series of loud CLACKS, thats the only word to describe it,
only occurs when i put my foot on the accelerator, more revs louder clacks, then when i reached a roundabout and put my foot down on the clutch it cut out completely leaving...
driving back from work in pissed off mood as charli would know anyway.
hit a pot hole BAM gearstick now laying horizontal and gears work but a b**ch to change.
get home find this!
engine mount bolt under the car has snapped clean off.
as its sunday no garages open. got work at 5am...
yes the connection was loose. gunna buy a battery clamp. as its still got the standard s**te on it.
how u fit the wires in the clamp? simply cut the connector head off the wires ad rip off some of the platic and tighten in the clamp ports?
cheers.
when driving why is it my engine cuts out then kicks back in.
does it every now and then.
im guessing its electrical as everything dies including radio.
plz?
when im driving around town the noises are non existant however.
when going down the motor way they occur and then from then on its stays until rested over night.
hig pitch squeel appears to come from passenger side wheel maybe?
really LOUD when window open however shuts up when clutch is...
would you expect to pay out for all this?
front brake set up off a williams?
2 x discs & set of pads
2 x uprights, 1 with new wheel bearing
2 x front shocks
2 x calipers
used by the way.
cheers
hmmmm interesting however i dont know what standard is. as my steelies are 14s lol.
if it was 185/55/15 as stated above it would become:
185/55/15 to 195/45/15
Speedo reads 70mph your actual speed will be 66.65 mph
cheers for the input guys.
i cant believe price different from 195/50/15 from 195/45/15 on eagle f1s
