Check the clutch sensor under the pedal as well

Standard is 15V ± 0.5, check the connections but it is normally pointing to the regulator on the way out which is cheaper fix than a replacement if you want to try that first 'F00M144131'

The obvious answer is oil pressure but then you would expect the big ends to suffer but they are always in much better condition. I have read that the crank tends to have an imbalance which causes it which makes more sense.

I have gone with the wise decision, purchased a 99k engine (F4R 832) a few weeks ago from AshG for £600, service history from new and came with everything but manifold and TB which I think is a very good price considering what some are wanting on fb. Ash even chucked in an ECU which I have got...

Wasn’t that to clear the lip on the 8j wheels?

Probably a bit late now as you don’t want to impact the geo but can you not spin the damper or has the gaz got a plate preventing it? I am on 4 deg now and it seems extreme but there was a ex racer in the garage next to me and that was close to 5 deg and was also considerably lower. Would love...

Remove the tensioner pulley?

Nope, I am seeing what seems to be clutch slip at high gears / rpm but no apparent evidence, unless I am being stupid the only reasons I can think of: - Slipping clutch - Slipping diff, I don’t think a plated diff would result in this? - ECU pulling the timing I don’t think it’s the ECU due...

Hmm, is it possible that I had made the rotating assembly too light resulting in the slip?

Pulled the engine, no surprises with the exhaust valves in cylinder 1 looking a little bit broken. I have found pieces of engine in the throttle body and I still need to pull the manifold to check the cat survived. Hard to tell with the head on but it looks like the valves in 4 might be...

Nice, what do you reckon the problem was? A bit of everything?

Have you tried taking the alt belt off just to narrow it down to the engine itself? But as above my money would be on exhaust or flexies, they would have removed the engine mount to fit the belt.

That’s cheating

I thought I had hit the bottom last year, apparently not. Spent the last few weeks doing fun stuff on the car, fire extinguisher wiring, hazards/heater wiring, ABS sensor issues and various small but satisfying things as I waited for the weather to improve. Last minute day booked...

Where did you get the RPX pads from? I checked their website the other day and was saying out of stock.

Glad your both ok, that went really quick, the saxo will do that if you lock the rear but I would have thought ABS would have prevented that. As you described just too much steering + brakes although it looks like it was the downshift to third that initially upset the car and then it didn't have...

Turning up to the unit over the past few weeks with fun stuff to do has been a joy, a year of turning up with the prospect of pulling out an engine I just put in or deadlifting a box has been draining. First job was to dump the break in oil, I have put some fresh running in oil for at least...

Different box

Clio2 workshop manual

I don't think the input shaft actually reaches the crank, I think it floats like the 1*2 but might be wrong?
