The 172 ph1 engine in my mk1 blew the 7.5 amp fuse I had in for the fuel pump relay, but as I don't have a haynes for the mk2 what is the fuse I should use for this?
I want to fit polybushes to my wishbones but am wondering what's the best way to remove the rubber bushes. I've heard you can burn the rubber out but can you remove the metal sleeve without a press?
Or is there no need to burn the rubber out and just press the whole thing out as one?
I have an F4R in my Mk1 clio and will be taking the engine out to swap gearboxes soon. While it's out i need to change the aux belt as it's mis-aligned.
My question is, can someone tell me by looking at the pics if any pulleys are necessary to change as well as the belt considering my setup...
I imagine there's not enough space but have never seen one in the flesh, so am wondering if one would fit, even with some fabrication modification to the subframe.
Since getting the car i have been wondering if the aux belt is misaligned, as i know it can take out he cambelt if it snaps.
From these pictures can anyone tell?
It's the 4th picture that looks most out of line between the pas and alternator pulleys

I've got another problem with mine
I decided to totally take apart the wiring loom to take away all unnecessary wiring (as even the air con wiring was still left on!) The insulation on the alternator to starter to +ve was also damaged and that must have been what caused my 120 amp fuse to...
does anyone know the O.E. spec oil pressure switch switching pressure?
Demon tweeks has a 15psi and a 25psi switch for sale, would either of them be suitable?
Last weekend i drove to the petrol station to do tyre pressures and get fuel. After putting air in the tyres I tried to start the car but the starter motor just clicked.
I thought at first the solenoid had just gotten a bit sticky so gave it a tap but that didn't help.
I got a push start off...
On my F4R engine in my Mk1 the ecu was de-coded and the emulator chip fitted like so
I am getting the immobiliser stuck on though, as the engine only cranks and does not give 12V to the coil or any injector pulse when doing the test with the little bulb.
I think it must be the emulator...
Hi everyone, I'm Tim and i have 2 Mk 1 Clio's. 1 of them running a F7R Williams engine and the other a F4R 172 ph1 engine.
I've had the williams engined one for just over a year, but I've only just bought the 172 engined one recently and have already run into problems!
I'm really into cars...
