so if i can find the leak, solve that, I should have heat again unless its caused another problem! :) thanks

has noone had this problem before? doesnt sound good!

it could be, just depends if its linked with the leak I have in the footwell, i think thats to do with the heating system but im sure someone will know better than me.

hi, recently brought my second clio 172. Ive noticed the coolant has to be topped up every few days and it seems to be leaking onto the passenger footwell? in the last few days the I cant get any heat from the heating only cold! Its climate control model. whether its set to max or minimum its...

hi didnt want to make a new post but can someone answer this. my phase 1 clio 172's engines gone and ive been offered a 182 engine. Using my own gearbox, loom etc. will it fit? cheers

So in that case could i not put a 2003 lump in my 2001 clio sport with my loom etc? cheers

Instead of me making a new thread, Im looking at buying a new engine for my clio sport phase 1 as my engine is fooked, will a 2003 phase 2 fit? All im buying is the actual lump. ive only got 45 minutes left to buy it so appreciate any quick response ;) Dan

Look im no car expert, i dont pretend to be. ive not come on here for a argument I came here for some friendly help. And cheers for the last comment, However i took the cover off today and the cambelt is there and all in tact so I DID once again turn the engine over after a couple of goes...

someone told me, dont know how true it is thats why I ask, if i try turning it over itll pretty much certainly f**k the engine if cambelts gone? Obviously I want to be lucky and not have my engine nackered so is this true? Best not to do any more damage

yeah ive got a torch but not when im in a village away from my house unfortunately. Ive left the car parked up there so will go and get it later and tell you some more. Im from Nottingham/Derby way. Thanks Dan

Hi. i was driving along at 30 when my engine suddenly died, when i rolled to a stop i tried starting the engine, it would turn over but sounded weird like something missing. I ha a quick look under engine cover but it was dark but i got the impression the cambelt has gone. Ive had nothing...

Hi. so ive brought a new rear disc and had the bearings fitted, I now can see the old bearings was the problem. Ive come accross one problem though, and that is the 2nd part of the old bearing is still on the stub axle and wont come off. Any advice please? Never is simple when it comes to me...

found a digital camera, willl get pics tomorrow. Should there be something inside the middle of the disc to stop the centre bolt going straight through? Is the wheels bearings withing the centre of the disc? Not too sure what should be in the middle of the disc but the hole is too big becuase...

cheers, will get pics tommorrow if i can find a camera seeing has he nicked my phone (with the camera)

yes thats right, but the thing is, the disc was loose and came off with the bolt in the middle of the disc still there. What does the centre bolt actually grip onto? Im really confused about this one atm! Just thought id ask here before I have a look on the other rear disc. cheers dan
