Hi all bought another Clio after selling my 172 over a year ago. Been looking for a while but this come up cheap been stood a while advertised as head gasket gone, thought nice little project. Here are some pics of it .

Got her home and treated to a wash

Paintwork didn’t come up to bad . Just could do with a machine polish on my to do list .

Looked into the head gasket issue . Vehicle was misfiring but started ok . Carried out compression test all above 150 psi on a cold engine. Didn’t run the engine for to long as belts were overdue and aux belt was badly deteriorated . Traced the fault to a dodgy injector lucky enough had one in my garage from previous 1*2 .

Good save.

The half naked chap, seems a bit camera shy and nosey at the same time?!?.

Head gaskets never go on these so was always going to be something different. They must have taken it to a rather inexperienced garage! An injector is the best result by a mile!

Very productive day yesterday and this morning. Replaced cam belt kit,dephasor pulley , water pump and auxbelt kit. Was al going well till I tried to remove dephasor pulley cap was tight as f#%k . Also had issues with water pump bolts rounding off. But all rewarding in the end ran vehicle up to temperature . No overheating and misfires so confirmed head gasket was never the issue .

Old belt and dephasor . Cam belt wasnt in that bad condition and unsure bout dephasor but wasn’t going to risk it. With no history

Spent most of the day cleaning the old girl. First off was to protect the dreaded fuel flap corrosion. So good clean off then under seal.
