Right, my car is now on its 4th fan belt in 6 months! It keeps snaping them! When i changed the one today though i turned it over after fitting at and noticed the crank pully wasnt turning 'square' as it were, and it didnt just look like the pully the bolt in the middle wasnt going perfectly in...
Having looked through this lowering guide
http://www.retro-renault.com/forums/engine-mechanical/37-enclosed-rear-torsion-bar.html
i know how to lower the torsion bar, but what I dont no is how to do it accuratly, anybody know? because that guide, usefull as it is dose not help if you want to...
Right, got the car about a year ago now, when i started driving, and at that time it was a 1.9 Diesel. This is how it looked:
Some bigger wheels:
This lasted for a good couple of months and lasted for a month after passing my test, till the head blew. o in steat of shelling out on a...
After converting my mk1 1.9D into a 1.2 petrol, ive found that there is a lot of posative camber, and noticed the outside of the tyre is starting to wear, has this happend because the springs and dampers ar designed for a heavier engine and the lighter engine os makeing the car posative camber...
I know these come recormended from my friends in the road rallying scene, but what bout you? good shock for just an upgrade from the standard or dose it do notheing for the handeling?
Right my cars gone through 2 fanbelts in 2 weeks, it snaps the belt and seems to rip all off the teeth things off almoast and sort of warps the belt. Is this because the altenator is out of line, or anything els?
The engine is a 1.2 Energy.
hey, need to re-wire my electronic powersteering after an engine conversion, anybody got any advice on how i should be done? or a wiring diagram somewhere?
Was wandering if there was any particular way to put the to middle clamps of the antiroll bar, where the rubber bushes are, back onto the car? if got the two bits on the bottom arms back on, but cant get the middle ones back :S
Is it possible to put the power steering form a 1.9D (Mk1 Ph1) into a 1.2 (Mk1 Ph2)? I know the power steering in the diesel is electric, and the one that was an extra on the 1.2 is one that runs off the engine. but was wandering if it was possible?
Was just wanting to no, dose a direct air filter replacement, for a 1.2 with 3 bolts in the air box, give a better sound? As it says you get a slight performance improvement, but nothing about a deeper sound.
Thanks
How hard would an engine swap from a 1.2 petrol into a 1.9D be?
iv got two cars one good shell, one good engine, so was wandering if its possible to swap em over to get one decent car out of it!
Well...just over a month ago i passed my test :D and at the time a had a 1.9D, good enough car for what i used it for. But then the head went on it :mad:. So i thought thayt this was a good enough reason to look for a new car, and id wanted a 1.2 to begin with. So went out and bought one. NIce...
Dose anybody think it is possible to change the dials on a '95 1.2, for the ones from a 1.8 16v? As i prefer to have a rev counter and that style on the 1.8 is nicer.
And it would match the 16v Steering wheel :cool:
My diesel has started to pour white smoke out of the exhaust yesterday morning and it has got worse, now the first thing that came to mind, was the head, or head gasket has gone, but im not that shure of this. As the engine temp is normal, oil level is as normal, water level normal, the car runs...
Just foud out the other day that the bolt that holds the anti roll bar to the bottom arm has broken, now as this was my first car i didnt notice as i had learnt to drive and everything in it, so i just thought it just handled like that! (it is a 93 Diesel ok!) So I've orderd the new part and was...
Well im thinkin of buying a set o wheels, and they previously came off a Golf GTI, sow ill the wheels off a Golf GTI fit onto my Clio? im shure there the same fitment, but just want to make shure.
Hey, dose anyone know if it is possible to fit Corolla GTi Semi Bucket seats into a '93 Clio? seeing as there going for £10 quid from my mate i thought id give it a go!!
