hi guys, quick question! on the d7f (1.2 8v), what order do the leads go onto the coilpack? Just did my tappets and lost track of what lead should be where - made a guess and it fires up ok, no emmisions light, and no misfiring... but just wanted to be sure!

think my bushes have finally worn after 86k (40k lowered), so im looking to replace them, but considering replacing the ARB with a thicker one (ie one off a 172), so was wondering if anyone could get me a price from dialogys if possible, since i dont have access to my own computer at the moment...

how much do these cost new, for a mk2? mine has decided to pack in, with my MOT due in a week, and i'm mega skint! :lol: also, easy enough to change with the scuttle panel off?

right, having to replace my left hand driveshaft (the longer one), on my 1.2 (D7f), and just wondered if it was particularly difficult? had the hub, etc off before, just more worried about how to remove it from the gearbox - and is gearbox oil a problem on this side? Just making sure i'm...

ok, having to replace a ball joint soon - so might aswell check this out aswell. The other night i was accelerating hard (well its a 1.2 d7f, as hard as it would go anyway... lol), and noticed the engine sound change at around 4000 rpm til 4500rpm-ish to a tinny sort of revving sound, as...

just a quick question, what are the symptoms of excessively worn ball joints? never had a problem with ball joints in my puff.

quick question, if you're running a fair bit of toe in, are you likely to go through bearings quicker? and would it be noticeable? I'm thinking yes, but i'm not sure. Reason being, car was getting its MOT done a while back, and they changed a track rod end (even though the tracking wasnt...

everytime i steer left and accelerate, i get a constant knocking noise (knock knock knock, until i lift off, or straighten up), but cant quite work out where its coming from. It doesnt happen when i first drive the car, but it gradually gets worse as i drive to the point where it sounds...

helloooo ok, snapped timing belt, 8 valves bent, head reconditioned and valves replaced. Rockers set (finally got rid of the tapping), but when i was fitting the new timing belt (which went well for my first time!) obviously i had to take the alternator and power steering belts off - which is...

ok, getting my cylinder head back on monday, and i'm fitting a new belt. This is my first time fitting a belt, but i'm feeling fairly confident. What I want to know is, am i right in saying its two turns of the crackshaft for one turn of the camshaft? If so, is it just a case of bringing...

ok, if i bought an engine, gearbox, ecu (includes keys), wiring loom, manifold, and driveshafts from a rear ended 172 for a conversion, what else would i need? The car is currently just a 1.2 8v Obviously hub carriers, suspension, brakes etc are needed, but what about on the cooling side...

right, cambelt snapped so the head's off to get new vavles ground in, guides checked, etc. Anything i should do (ie clean, etc) while its off? Car's sitting at 65k(ish), and hasnt been feeling great for a wee while now (ok its only a 1.2, but its definetly not as nippy as it was a while...

fitted a new rear wheel cylinder yesterday and was having problems with it still leaking, so gave up for the night. Today i went out, had a look, and whats actually happening is that one of the pistons is coming out the cylinder a bit too far, but the other one doesnt really move as much -...

the entire brake assembly (including stub axle, etc) on a mk1 with discs, will it fit a mk2? if so, what about brake lines?

had a bit of work done on my brakes a few weeks ago, including replacing the rear cylinder. Yesterday I did my usual drive through to my mates, doing 60 coming up to a roundabout, braked, braked a bit more with the intention of just slowing down, then a car approached from the right and I had to...

right, got my car back after having some repairs done, and they replaced a track rod end due to it being siezed. Obviously after fitting, the tracking was set up, but now my steering wheel sits at an angle when driving straight. Other than the wheel sitting off center, is there any other...

failed a few things apparently, but not sure what it actually failed on, and what he decided he was wanting to comment on. Failed on a leaky rear wheel cylinder - fair enough, it happens, its being replaced Excessive rise and fall on the nearside front disc - and although he noted this and...

hi, just wondered if there was any easy way to get the centre console surround (the surround which the headunit and fans sit in) out on a mk2 ph1 clio thanks in advance

hey, just bought a new headunit and im trying to run one of the remote adapters in my Mk2 ph1 1.2 but i cant seem to find where the 6 pin yellow connector plugs into. The instructions say im looking for a yellow plug, but the only one i find is an 8 pin, and the original remote control cable is...

ok, couple of problems to do with my 99 clio... first of all, when the engine is cold and im accelerating (not necessarily hard), it accelerates smooth then looses power for a split second, enough to kangeroo the car slightly but not THAT noticably, the harder you accelerate the worse the...

hey, anyone any idea how to remove the wiper arms on a mk2 clio? even with the bolts taken off the assembly the wiper arms dont come off. The reason im asking is cause autoglass fitted my new windscreen but the arms are totally setup wrong and the triangle bit catches on the bonnet when the...
