well the other day, i went to see if my k+n off the r19 would fit... and well it fiited perfectly Very Happy

i also had an annoying knock, when every i accelarated hard, i clambered underneath to fins out if the rear mount had gone, but all it was, was the bracket from the rear mount to the engine had come loose, Rolling Eyes

so nipped that up and problem solved.

the rear mount bolts have a habit of falling otu and shearing on rens, pugs and citroens these days!

the newer cars get, the more boring the engines get to look at,

that just looks to me as if its the head from a transformer now.

nice tubular manifold:

also how did oil get here? in the middle, might not be able to see it.

oils a common problem, to sort it pop the inelt manifold off and clean it out then torque the cover back up.

theres lots of problems you can look forward to having with this.

will these manifolds fit an F7P head? just wondering is it a better manifold than the standard one?

if i pass my test then yea i'll be taking it

AC pump should just clunk when it kicks in then a slight whirr, no whining or anythign though. Does it engage and stay engaged?

engine mounts, exhaust, bits falling off, rear dampers leaking and needing changed every 6 months etc.

You have the early cable throttle body though which tends to be more reliable than the leater drive by wire effort.

hmm, i see what you mean chris.

still its nice and sparlkly.

and now there is going to be another clio at meet, hurrah.

lol, im, no, it works perfectly, it just whines constantly, if you put a ps car on full lock, make the whine a bit higher pitched and youve got it, it increases with engine speed aswell.

i'll try to get a vid clip of it.

Site Subscriber Joined: 28 Jan 2005 Posts: 3547

well i cant get a vid clip, as the camera was also stolen. Rolling Eyes

, i'll try and find another way of gettin it recorded, or it'll have to wait until the scottish meet. i would give you a bell to let u know what it sounds like, but its no emergency, and im not that bothered until it goes wrong.
