    Toledo Splitters on a Mk1 Clio

    Sent my uncle to a SEAT dealer to get two ibiza splitters for front and back of clio, but parts guy said to get toledo ones as the look better and are only £16 each. He was right, they are the same size and shape but have a better venting (full width). Anybody seen a clio with them on that I...

    brake pipe and handbrake fun

    Having redone my valvers engine and refitted it was pleased she was running so sweet, and thought I had tackled all the difficult and annoying jobs a valver could throw at you.

    VALVER ENGINE REFITTED

    Yeah finally after car being off road for 5months, I put the engine back in this week and started it last night. Almost cried as noise from tappets was really bad and was panicking, but thankfully when oil thinned out they refilled (must have totally drained while head was off block) and silence...

    Cam cover painting

    Since my engine is out and I am waiting for parts, thought I would be as well giving block etc a lick of paint. However I am unsure how to get a good finish for cam cover. Will be using engine laquer for block and head, but it doesnt really produce a good finish. Have a compressor and spray gun...

    Anybody dealt with this lot

    Infinicar, they seem to have plenty 16v, Willy and 19 16v bits, I have enquired to them about a 2.0 engine, but I am just wondering what they are like, website is promising, but I would be buying an engine pretty much blind off them (i.e. not seeing it) so would really have to trust them on it...

    Head Gasket weep problem

    Car losing water, but pulling as normal, with no white cloud from exhaust. Look in engine bay and none appears to be going into the oil so investigated further.

    Pranged my valver - not happy

    Should have been wiser, really wet roads and I lifted off a little and never got it back (Bald back tyres, brand new rainsports on front, probably did not help), ended up through a fence and in the middle of a field. Was lucky missed all the really solid things and have got away with minor...

    Have taken hubs out and got new bearings pressed in and when my hand was better (buggered it playing football) was going to put it all back together.

    anti roll bar removal

    Got hold of uprated anti roll bar links and bushes which I was going to stick onto my valver. However the Haynes says to remove the anti roll bar you must take off the downpipe. I have jacked the car up and had a look and its difficult to tell if this is so. I reckon it looks like it might slide...

    Exhaust Dilemma

    Anybody have one of these fitted. Quite appealing as they are competition spec, and cheap. However I know by reputation they are super loud, but anybody got one fitted to a 16v, or any other clio, and could be kind enough to give us a quick review. If it wasnt too loud I would be quite into...

    Powerflex anti roll bar bushes

    Upon changing my ball joints on my valver recently i noticed (amazed MOT man did not) my passenger anti roll bar link (where it attaches to wishbone) was sheared off. This would explain my cars preference for cornering better in one direction than the other, and it might explain the knocking...
