^^ Thanks for your useful reply! ^^ I've already contacted him and within half hour he has assured me he used all the correct timing tools, and is trying to get me booked in for Monday to see what the issue is, I've sent him a link from the forum which pretty much explains my problem! Rest...

I know that mate, but that wasn't what I was asking! Have I fucked the engine, or can it be fixed for less than doing the whole cambelt/dephaser job again?

Thanks that's advice :)

Why would it make a difference if it's cash or not?

I already know and put that in my post?!? I'm asking if it's possible to fix it at this stage, I'm assuming it's not too badly timed considering the mileage I've done or if I need to get the while job done again?? I paid £520

Evening all! So I decide to go against the better advice on here and get the cam belt/dephaser done by a local mechanic. He showed me all the locking tools and said he had worked on these cars several times and never had any issues. He had just pretty much rebuilt my girlfriends engine and done...

So pretty much cheap coilovers ain't worth the money?? Was my mechanic right with the springs aren't right for OE shocks? And Excuse my lack of knowledge top mounts??

So I wanted to ask you die hard and more experienced clio owners. I have a 172 only on 62k I need new suspension the boy who I bought the car from was a bit of a racer so I'm in the process of Defo-chaving it, it's on lowering springs atm and OE shocks but handles like a wet lettuce and my...

I have recently bought a 2001 172 with a straight through exhaust and an induction kit on it. It has also been chipped and then mapped on a rolling road. MPG is more important to me atm, and i'm not overly keen on the raspy sound! So if I put the standard air box (with a K&N filter) back on...

How did you get on matey?

If your paying £800 be warned it probably wont be great vinyl and will start showings signs of wear only 2 years down the line. You want to ensure where ever you go they're using Hexis, Arlon, Avery or if you have the extra cash pay for 3m!!! Or if have somewhere indoors to work PM me as I'm...

Water and either a Stanley knife Blade or decorating scraper. Spray a mist of water all over the window then use the edge of the blade to scrape the adhesive away. (You will have to use a reasonable amount of force and the sharper the better) DON'T use any chemicals such as white spirit or...

Cheers, just had a look through them! What the thoughts on matt black I know its been done to death but with the car already being black it would look the best. I have some samples of pearlesent white and focus orange that look ace but it would mean having to take all the doors/boot lid off so...
