well from what my mechanically minded mate has said it looks like the crank/wheel for the cam belt has grinded all the teeth on it, I think its the crank/wheel that goes in to the engine. It still turns over, so I am not sure if it has done any damage to the inside of the engine :S Because I...

I thought it would be hard to swap those engines lol. so how hard will it be to replace the cam belt on the D7F engine? I think one of the wheels for it has had all the teeth taken off of it. as you can tell im not mechanicly minded that much, but I am looking to try to do all the work myself...

Hey ppl, I know this is a boring engine swap lol, but its more to do with getting my car back on the road. I recently brought a clio paris 1998 Mk1 (facelift) and it looks like the cam belt has gone :( I previously owned a clio oasis 1995 Mk1, I am wondering if the 1995 engine can fit into a...

Hey peeps, I own a 1.2 1998 clio paris. I noticed twice before my engine failed that it would have a slight problem starting. i had to turn the key all the way as usual, but then twice i had to let it slide back a bit and turn it all the way back to get it to start :S as I was driving home...

You have Intel in your car :) lol Looks good mate, think its better then matt black has a nice finish too it.

Lmfao, yea im sure that wud work :D and remember if your car does get torched at least you will still have a nice paint job on your brakes lol

Yea, Chris Hammerite is the shizz nizzle, well as long as you can find the colour you want lol. It's about half the price of caliper paint and last the same, if not longer :D I've heard nothing but gd about hammerite on cars. But hey its up to you in the end.

I believe sand paper is normaly used for wood and glass paper is for metal. but like I said I cud be wrong lol. and whats wrong with letting ppl know I've got drums? I think I might steal some horse shoe brakes and fit them now lmao :D

I dont think you want sand paper, I think you want to use glass paper(I maybe wrong lol), but if you tell them you want to get rust off of metal im sure they can advise you.

Just a question. What would you guys think of a red Mk1 clio with black multi spoke alloys, green drums and calipers? lol I mean BRIGHT green. :D

Thanks for the help guys, maybe I should grow tits. Then you might be more willing to help me, with the prospect of you might be able to touch them lol.

Thanks for the reply. From what I can hear from then engine it sounds fine, im going to get the cam belt replaced as i dont think its been done and i heard a slight noise from the f,n,s wheel when i was turning left, i did just swap 3 of my tyres today (the one making noise being one of them)...
