Anyone know what you would call or be able to get the part number for the hard metal coolant pipe that runs from the front of the block, its the megane block but I think the 197s have the same pipe The silver pipe you can see in engine dynamics pic where their logo is

Bit of a strange one, recently from cold the 197 has a squeal / screech noise that rises with revs when the clutch pedal is pushed in. Makes a little of the same noise when its in gear and driving up the revs slowly. Seems to disappear or get too high pitched to hear after 2k revs or so and...

What would the symptoms of a diff going be? Its on the 197 and under load the steering wheel is shaking side to side and the car is shaking somewhat too, though it will disappear eventually if you continue to accelerate and even at motorway speeds it seems settled fine. Not sure if it might be...

I'm looking at the engine from an interior fire damaged r26 f1 team Anyone shed some light as to the potential issues I might have using an engine from a car that has fire damage, the electrics and wiring etc are obviously un-usable but i'm thinking the engine block itself? Seemed to crank...

Well the z isnt long away :( instantly gutted, great looking and sounding car but on to the next one. Picked this up a while back as a stop gap , I'm still 50/50 whether to keep it, in which case things are gonna get real tropical over at cro's garage over the coming months. Or keep it a few...

After no less than 2 people copying my Clio, to the point where externally I could barely tell the difference! So I've lost most of the love for the Clio. Here's the new toy, and it's epic

As above, couldn't really be bothered trying to find or use a ph1 stalk horn when I can just use the one from the omp wheel. I also don't want the wheel to go up in flames like James' so looking to wire straight to the horn button so just need to know what wire it is, colour/pin or whatever...

Weird request but could you measure it side-side across the middle for me? Mine has just arrived and measures about 347mm so i'm thinking it might be the wrong one so just need to check Cheers, Stephen

I know the 3 series one has been used but nothing about in my local scrappies currently and i'm not sure if bmw parts department are anything like ours wanting part numbers or they're useless. Any others that can be had online? I had a search all over the place but not finding much luck...

More a question for the engine im stripping down currently but unlike the renault cambelt tensioner this doesn't have the slot so you know that it has been tensioned to the right amount How are you supposed to know when it has been tensioned enough? The engine had belt slip and 8 valves bend...

Anybody know if they are the same? The local motorfactors has told me it is but I said I'd rather make sure of a statement like that. I know the jc5 boxes are the same but wasn't sure of the clutch

Anyone got the part number for the f4r head gasket. Just the gasket on its own, don't need the set really. Had a search but couldn't find anything

Ok so i'm getting a loud knocking which from having watched videos from others on here I know could all too well be the big end. Heres the background as to what happened. The car was off getting mapped for the new cams and injectors, the cams were running fine installed and I drove to the...

Well as weird as it sounds my dephaser pulley has fixed itself. All gone quiet as a mouse I keep thinking I've stalled! I didn't touch a thing either! Got me thinking maybe something like an oil leak affecting pressure or a problem with the oil pump or phaser solenoid might cause the...

As above anything that you could check or look for, I'm getting a bad misfire and isn't plugs, leads don't seem to make a difference and it's not affecting it too much so doubt coilpack

Never really noticed too much oil in my catch tank but there is a sort of clear liquid that is ridiculously potent. Any ideas what this by product is? I presume nothing to worry about anyway

.. few questions about when I'll be fitting new cams over the next free weekend. Is there anything specific that needs done, like lubing them up or cleaning anything in particular (oh hello) they aren't new cams but new to my engine? I presume the cams will be able to be moved pretty easy once...

Heres the oilways you would have to block off before thinking about idle and that. Theres a good few, dont even know what you'd use to fill them either

Anybody know what size the breather plate bolts are? Can't remember even if they are all the same length, need to order some socket cap screws to replace the current ones

Lol seeing as everyone else has a dephaser thread, im wondering if the block is something similar used in the 1*2s whats the difference between the 197 or 225 even dephaser pulleys? We never really hear of any having problems, maybe they just arent old enough yet

Spent the last few days trying to get locking nuts off for my wee bro. His mcsheite key rounded off and is now stuck trying to get them off ( no code for replacement key) I have the reverse thread nuts but once it hits the collar it just spins so I need to get the collar off or find another...

Flip sake, wouldn't be like it to have a decent run of no problems lol. Love it! Well heres the run down: I'm losing or using water at a relatively slow rate, from being filled half way on the expansion tank to getting to min takes about 2 months. I'm losing or using oil at 1L for every...

Anyone know if theres a minimum or optimum distance between the end of the trumpet and the beginning of the airbox?

Anyone had anything made up? I know Matt from tdf had been/is working on something but havn't heard anything about it. Bar those stainless ebay jobs theres not much else going on, but there's bound to be decent gains out some something well designed and stainless for the itb,sc,turbo clios we...

A mate of mine has a ridiculously expensive camera and has up to now mostly produced videos for sports, mostly commercial type stuff. He had mentioned that he might fancy doing some work with cars and I mentioned I had seen some awesome footage on here but never remembering which off the top of...

As above front only for all mk2 3 door clios http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130478485777&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

Mine had just become a horrendous sounding mess recently, maybe I havn't noticed the noise gradually over time but im starting to hear the difference from outside the car. Obviously I know the usual dephaser pulley answer, i've heard and change enough of them but this just sounds a bit more...

Trying to get a 197 to connect to the code reader, and I know I need to get the car into acc (where all the dash lights appear and stay lit) I'm putting the key car in the slot and holding the start button for about 8 seconds and the lights appear but then disappear again and still the code...
