had a good little attack on the clio today :mrgreen:

coolant changed
brake fluid changed
gearbox oil changed
engine oil changed
freed off the rear brakes
removed all the seats, carpet, boot and shampoo'd
sorted most of the rattles (i hope)
got to the bottom of the gearbox problems - bits ordered
got to the bottom of the PAS problem - bits ordered
got to the bottom of the ABS problem - bits ordered
bonnet is all sorted

so got to re-fit all of the interior 2moz then prob pull the engine out over the weekend and do the belt, clutch etc

god , you dont bugger about do you.

taking plenty of pics for the rebuild?

 

[TURBO]

where the refil for the gearbox oil? not sure where it is on the 133 but hoping it would be in roughly the same place as the clio's. running high spec oil for the rest of the parts and not liking the fact the gearbox is on plain jane stuff- sorry for jack of thread

 

[TURBO]

depends what gearbox are you running??

it i remeber its a j series box so its fill by overflow.

if it is there should b a rubber bung on the front of the box, take that out and fill with 75w80 until it trickles out of the hole.

i would personally recommend 75w90 tho. miles better

iv just realised the most worrying thing about owning this is that at some point i may have to give k-tec some money :?

there must b a better way .......

cheers for that. RS tuning know their way around a clio but not sure if they have the work space. also garage near me that ran clio's in the cup series and forumla renault but their place is located by llandow circuit which i can tell you is a 3 hour trip from Santa Pod

Give them money for what ?

 

[TURBO]

if only i had a roll cage....this lot could be going in the bin :roll: :lol:

 

[TURBO]

shampoo'd all the interior again today, removed all the sound deadening, washed the inside of the body
then borrowed a snazy little tool from the valeting bay and "tornado'd" all of the inside of the car; seats carpet etc.

its basically an airline blower with some cleanning fluid in it, does the job!

then put all the stuff back in
(not sure how long its gona b in there tho)

prob gona get the lump out 2moz after the f1 and some hours at work

Sorry for the stupid question, but do you know the black circle with a wire coming out of it, where the back right seat should be... what is it?

 

[TURBO]

under that is your fuel pump/sender unit

 

[HigtonA]

ahh cool cool, i was curious so i was going to open it up. but i better leave it be thanks :lol:

 

[TURBO]

u can open it, it twists.
there are three plastic tags that u need to b careful with as they snap easy
but it is just a connector and two fuel pipes under there!no rainbow and hidden gold just go go juice :lol:

 

[josh hatton]
