Sorted now, earth strap was loose, thanks for replying. Of course it can turn over but not fire, and then stop, all that is required for the engine to turn over is the starter motor to crank the engine over surely…

No, it just turns over and then stops, it's not firing.

Got a Clio 172, it's going tonight so just gone to make sure it starts ok and it turns over for a couple of seconds then stops. It's been parked up for a while, a couple if times the battery has run low so i've recharged and it has started and run fine, have started and run it regularly...

Oh, sorry missed he requirement for videos.

I'd go for a second hand 1D MkIII all day

I'm not exactly sure which, i'm sure some on here that are, but with some Cup models not having a PAS pump driven off the AUX belt, how do the blocks differ, or are they all the same externally from a mountings point of view with just variation on the supporting brackets? Also, what runs the...

Thanks for that. We will be trying to de-stroke a two litre engine for Super1600 in the near future but at the moment just building a new F4R engine for the rally car.

Where are the cheapest places for good quality engine parts for the F4R. Head gasket, timing belt kit, rings, bearings etc Cheers

When we built my K4M Super1600 engine we had to chance the jets every time we did a full rebuild because you cannot get them out without damaging them. Is this the case with the 172 too? They are bloody dear from Renault! Cheers for any help

Got these part numbers off two cams I have just taken out of an engine, I assume they are standard but wanted to check. Part number searchs are bringing up nothing. Inlet: 0160055 CL12113 Exhaust: C00002 0291848 Thanks for any help

What are the differences between the 172 ph1 and ph2 engines? Building an engine for my new rally car, so which is better as standard, are inlet or exhaust ports bigger on either for instance. Thanks for any help.

I have had a self built rallycross Super1600

I don't watch many trackday videos or anything, but what struck me watching yours was how little grip you appear to have. What tyres do you run? They seemed pretty poor in the damp

Cheers, will take plugs out. Usually have them running, comes from a history of rally / rallycross cars having incredibly muddy engine bays.
