Hi All, Ive had my Clio for 2 years now - no problems - until tonight - or about an hour ago. So i was driving and i could hear this faint noise, which was similar to when you have a flat the same kind of rotating dumdumdumdum noise, Anyway - after a few miles coming home the noise was...

coilpack ?

Pump! this happened to me, - pull it out, let the water drain out, keep everything because the new one i brought, was just the pump n no rubber for the end... they are dirt cheap, should get one for like 10 quid or less

just want to say, mine has always done this, coming upto 5 years of ownership. dont worry ;) just give it a clean out once ina while. if you check where your airpipe goes in, theres a breather pipe which connects to it, im sure it mixes there, because i find it there too ;)

Hello, ​I Have here my 1.2 8v clio D7F engine variant, Now, Im not all sure why but last week i noticed that every so often the car sort of missed a beat, like you know when you bunny hop but not violent, i figured it was my gear changes. I thought not much of it, until say Friday when out...

was just wondering, how much would it cost to have cambelt and clutch done at the same time ? or seperate ? altho, i do have a friend who knows what with a clutch, so maybe just a full cambelt change ? either way, advice would be appreciated :o i have a 8v 1.2, and i think its a d7f ? :P

starter motor ? will it bump start ? if it does then theres the chance it could be starter related ?

check your plugs, make sure they are nice and clean - i had bad idle/ irratic for a while, until i noticed 2 of my plugs had oil round them - changed the rocker gasket n it fixed it, but i would suggest replacing the battery anyway :)

he works ina tyre garage pal so can do it all properly - im at work now for the next 4 days, so i'll try get round to it when im off next

hmm worth a second shot at it then really - well bonus - already gonna get a mate to do it for me will soon see ina couple weeks :P

thing is tho, ive checked my tyre depths ( usually you'd get uneven worn ? ) and there level really, theres no inside/outside wear so, im unconvinced its tracking, - i'll take a butchers look at top mounts :)

[/IMG] picture :P trackin was done im sure when it was in the garage havin mot n all that .. but ive had it done before n it didnt sort it .. lol so the weels there are direct straight - if i 'centralise' the steering while driving, she goes off to the right - ive had a poke around...

ive got a similar problem with my steering actually.. might make a thread later n see if anyone knows what the crack is.. firstly to go take some pictures ... lol

yeah i helped my friend put an engine ina 106 gti, n we just but the clutch on that, stuck on the gear box n dropped it in.. was thinging, how easy are the gear box's to come off this ?

@ fred so they are easy to do ? like, i could do it myself with a haynes ? :P same with a clutch ?

TRYED THAT ! lol wouldnt move well it does slightly ... just not enough to come off =\

i did my rocker cover this weekend :) rubber gasket 14.58, new ht leads 30 quid .. oh and i got a bargain at halfrauds ! 235pc tool kit in a metal box with 2 draw's n a lid, all for 50 quid, i figured i need some tools :P the hardest part was getting them 6 bolts off the air intake manfold ...

my 1.2 8v, does that need specialist hands or could a local monkey garage do it ? - its due for a cambelt change .. so anyone in the S derbyshire area who wants an 'easy' job in the next month or so ?

ok, so maybe i'll just go for new shoes in stead :) reebok's or* nike ;) hah.

its done 77k, had both the bearings replaced recently and the 'noise' didnt go away like i'd hoped ( if thats what your getting at ;) ) when i spin the drum, you cant spin it freely it'll do maybe 1 rotation ..it's like something inside is rubbing the edge like metal on metal, so im guessing...

cheers for that :) will see what we can afford on payday lol kinda important really but hey ho its been makin a noise since christmas, im sure it can go a few more weeks lol

ah yeah., they clown behind the counter did say somthing about bedix, - is the diameter taken from inside or outside ?, because the one side is stuck on .. n going to need smashing off.. so i'd rather have the correct parts :P

also how would i go about knowing if the drums are abs or not :S

try leaving it in coke over night.. my mate did this to his R5 body n it come up mint :P

take ya plugs out, give um a clean, make sure the ht leads are pushed on properly, not sayin it will work mind, but i had a lose ht lead cuz the rubber had got stuck. .

haha !! i did this to mine today !! the new plugs i got were out of the 3 sets for the 1.2 the most expensive ones too ... still got 15£ discount .. but still 30 quid lol you need some really long nose plyers - i thought mine were long but my mate had longer ones

ok, so i kinda need new drums and shoes - now, i gave halfrauds my reg ( n my mates trade card number ;) ) and theres 2 types of drum.. and 2 types of shoes.. so one shoe set goes with each drum i presume BUT does my car have either a) 180mm drums or B) 203 ? and also where is...

what do you mean ? over tightened the rocker cover ?

well thanks any road to you lot :p gonna get some new ht leads tomorrow ( lol was a little gutted about fuel in the fuel rail tho ;) what a waste :( haha ) oh yeah, apparently they couldnt figure out what HT leads i needed today, as on there system ( at motormainia ) theres 3 types, they...
