Hey guys,
I did a good 600 mile round trip at the weekend and as usual my little DCI 80 didn't miss a beat but 5 minutes from home i stopped to get some food and things started to go wrong.
I'd noticed on the way back that although my dash lights were coming on the dials were not...
Hey guys
I have a split on the hose coming from the passenger side intercooler into the turbo (I think)
You can see it below with the bit of tape on by the split this is the end feeding to the turbo.
This is the end connected to the intercooler
And this is it out.
According to the...
Yeah after thinking "Oh silver will be nice" then seeing TinchoRS's flamer, well i've had nothing on my mind since.
Then once finding it its a case of is it even worth buying!
Thanks Martin, i will take a look tonight.
Worst thing is i'm bloody giving it to my sister in law in a few months as i make way for a ph1 172. I get the impression shes going to be getting the better end of the deal with all these bits being thrown up and fixed beforehand.
Sorry to be a pain.
These guys are going to have had my car more than bloody me this month!
I should mention i have a split intercooler pipe but thats not going to be causing the sound, surely?
Hey guys.
2nd clutch in 2 weeks installed a few days ago as the first one was dud and started playing up after a few days.
Now when i'm driving and go up to and past 3k when accelerating it makes a quite high pitched whine.
I understand the clutch is going to take a few hundred miles to bed...
Hey guys,
Had the clutch replaced yesterday on my DCI 80 as the release bearings were shot but after getting it back there's a real lack of poke.
Never had a clutch done before so i'm unsure of what to expect but i understand that its going to take a few hundred miles to bed in which is no...
Hey guys,
So im driving home from work the other day battery light and stop light starts flickering think its possibly just a bad connection and cars running fine but a few days later it wont start.
Jumped it and it sprang into life as usual. The battery has to be over 3 years old and when...
Front offside tyre made a loud bang and went pop doing 20 today, which was an interesting experience!
Could have been so much worse, Just shows the dangers of driving on near legal tyres or ones with slow punctures!

Thanks guys!
Went and got a quote today from a few places, said 400 for both rear sides and he would spray my new sport bumper for £50 on top of that. Seems about right?
So i have my late 03 DCI 80, she's got a full service history 115k on the clock and I've looked after her well. Nice pair of 182 alloys, sport rear bumper / grill and about to be dropped 40mm - She's a great everyday runaround that keeps me going until the 182 gets purchased to accompany her.
I...
So I've just been clearing through the back of the car and found some Spanish A-level books (No idea where they came from) and a pre-historic printer.. Couple of quid also! Win!
Anyone else found anything remotely interesting they were unaware of whilst having a clear out?
Im not great at these things but i see there have been no other replies. Id always go for a decent set of springs, if you are going to lower it eventually you are going to need new shocks on it as well i.e shocks designed for the kind of ride height you are looking for
I believe they advise...
Got onto express paint and the prices aren't to bad! Id bodyshop it but im trying to create something out of nothing with the budget. Time and patience i do have though!
Thanks for the reply guys!
I know Halfords is going to be crap quality, to be honest im OCD and if a job is worth doing its worth doing right. Down to get it matched i think is the only answer! It was a long shot but worth an ask!
So i have a hologram grey clio (Paint code 603 i believe)
I need to do the side strips and a few other little bits this colour i just want to buy a rattle can of the shelf of a shop / online at a good price (Im on a budget as per)
Halford's (gotta love them) do a few that are other car...
Cheers SUYC, ive herd mixed things some people being quoted £900 and others like yourself £60 so will have to make the dreaded call, might save me some cash not to do it soon hah
