    5 Year Service & Cambelt help???

    Your timing marks are the back of the cams under the bungs and the crank pulley has markings on from what i gather looking at Autodata more than likely it lines up with the mold on the block similar to the 1.2 clio. The idea of the camshaft locking tool is to make your life easier to fit the...

    Few Issues?

    Hi Daniel thanks for the quick reply i gathered the oil usage would be common but just wanted to check only due to idle issue. I have to admit i have been looking into a remap only iv found if i hold revs at 1k the idle issue goes on standstill. As for cv boot its not the boot it was the clip...

    Extreme Pack??

    Hi guys i dont know if its called an extreme pack but i would most likely say that the Trophy has different rear springs. Having looked at your price for springs you really have 3 options to get you through the MOT either buy standard cheap springs meaning both rears otherwise one side will sit...

    Flashing Emissions light? possible solution.

    Your spark plugs look like they have seen better days, Just quick was there any water in the hole before you removed the plugs only to get corrosion like that usually you find a bit of water or damp. I have recently changed my plugs only due to coil pack breaking on number 3 cylinder and...

    oil light STOP NOW!

    Im all fairness the oil pressure switch is £5.89 from express car parts http://www.expresscarparts.co.uk/productdetail.php If it was me i would just replace and see how you go for that kinda money. I don't belive the clio has an oil temperature switch just pressure and level but could be wrong...

    oil light STOP NOW!

    The oil level sender has no relation to the oil pump so no need to worry. With the oil level sender if it is failing there may be a stored fault code but wont flag up on the dash so if you have the equipment to plug it in may be worth a look however they rarely flag up on our porsche system...

    oil light STOP NOW!

    Just thought i would comment quick as its a miss understanding as to keep oil level at top marker on the dipstick. You must always leave it just under due to oil heat and expansion. Oil level when hot should reach top marker on dipstick. As for your light its a common problem for oil level...

    Engine bay heat, abit of advice would be appreciated.

    I have been looking into this in my Trophy the first thing i noticed when i got it a few weeks back was the temperature of the engine bay. Now if no one knows this the air intake should take in colder air due to it being denser however if the air is hotter then the less dense the air is the...

    stop light and battery light !!!

    If you have a multimeter its really simple to see if an alternator is working, firstly check the battery condition this should read 12.6v-12.4v anything bellow this means battery's in poor condition. Second part is to check the alternator is charging when the engine is started battery voltage...
