2 ClioSport stickers....
1 on the rear window....
1 stuck wonkily on the drivers rear.
Spend most of my time travelling between Basingstoke & Bracknell
I went on a welding course for 12 evenings at my local college (oxy and mig), which was good fun. Excellent way to chill out and relax.
I have resisted buying a mig welder, as the house would fill up with lots of dire things that I made, "because they were a good idea"...
You can get...
Mr Billy "UK",
"Your right Guys ." is not GCSE level English.
Please stop hijacking my thread.
Unless you have any comments on welding catalytic converters, cease typing.
Harvey,
You are a brave man for admitting you work for KwikFit.
I can tell that you are not dyslexic.....just either a lazy typist, or typing while eating/drinking/chatting and a little distracted....and still the first one to answer.
If it is blown up while welding, then I will get a...
KwikFit wouldn't make any money on welding it.
I was gonna get a neighbour to weld it.
Your answers have been helpfull.
I shall ask my neighbour tomorrow.
Elliot.
Went to KwikFit today, and was told a new cat converter would be £609.
When I mentioned welding it, they said it couldn't be done, because it is some sort of alloy, and a welder would just blow holes in it.
Are they telling porkies?
The weld into the cat is splitting. Would have...
I need to fill the washer bottle, and want to change the front disks/pads.
Martins of Basingstoke, are hardly likely to fix something for me for free. They are likely to charge me for a new cable/catch/pulley/2hrs work.
The pull is OK, but it isn't releasing the bonnet.
I am guessing I will need to go in from the front.
Is it best to cut the grille on the left or right side, to get the bonnet open?
Any hints?
Did a search on that page for Ford-Petrol, adn saw this in there:
Puma 1.4/1.7 +1 bhp £293.75
Worth it?
Clios:
Clio 182 inc Cup + 8 bhp £293.75
Clio Sport 172inc Cup + 10 bhp £293.75
Clio V6 Sport 255bhp + 10 bhp...
Is it dependent on wether the AC is on/off or does it happen when just the fan is operational?
On my old 1.4rt, I used to have a squeal from the engine bay when doing over 60, with the air fan on. I think that was a loost spindle on the fan.
Yours sounds a little more baffaling than that.
The IK looks a little funy, since it is a very flat cone.
When it is on the engine, it looks like a man with a very small hat on.
It is also at the top of the bonnet, where all the hot air is, so it doesn't make it that efficient. Doesn't make much of a difference in noise either.
If you...
yup,
Had to replace the passenger side washer, and the driver side one is now leaking.
Fitted the passenger side one myself. Undid the bumper fastenings, wiggled my arm in, undid the old one, and plumbed the new one in.
Closest I've come to being a vet.
Paint the RENAULTsport lettering (& stripes) on the top of the manfold.
Did mine with some caliper paint. looks quite good.
(Never got round to painting the calipers though)
I managed to squeeze my arm up to the back of the washer via the front wheel arch. Bit tight though.
No one seems to make an alternative yet.
Your washer bottle will split next.
I got the whole unit from renault basingstoke. I havent managed to fit it yet though.
Got a leak in my washer tank too, but not sure if it is the usual split bottle, or a rubber seal.
They only cost about £7 from renault, but the balls are hard to get out...unlike the original ones that...
Cant tell weather you mean another car as a second car, or a replacement for your current one.
If it is a second car, then 5k will get you a decent kit car for the summer. look at e-bay or findit, or look at some of the kit car mags for ones for sale.
