    Clutch issue

    If you dont mind getting your hands dirty it's not hard, just need to push the pipe back in, the clip might still be on. Then fill with brake fluid, will need to be bled for a decent clutch. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Clutch issue

    The same fluid is used for the clutch so does sound like the pipe has popped off. It's the cheapest fix so not that bad. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Clutch issue

    The clutch is hydraulic, most likely the pipe that pushes into the slave cylinder has popped off. Its held with a little metal clip which if not seated correctly will work loose. Was there fluid under the car? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Yes, get an oem gasket. Some knock on the subframe slightly but mine was fine. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Grab a pic when done if you can pls, this is exactly what I'm gonna do over the winter. Did you go for an off the shelf short shifter or DIY job? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    'Total Loss' Clio 197 F1

    As above, Car D (the old category) didn't make a difference to my insurance. Just buy it from insurance. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Uprating brakes ??? Best for track days

    Yep agree with the above, you have to spend the money on pads, I've tried brembo, pagid but DS1.11 are the ones. Also drove a 197 with PBS pads and really impressed. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Won't start steering not locked

    Mines a meglio and goes directly from the battery earth (1 of the 2 top bolts) down to top of gearbox bell housing. This might not be the standard place. Quick way to test, run a jumper cable from neg to engine block/gearbox Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Won't start steering not locked

    If the engine has been out then check the earth cable, as said above I had the exact issue as I didn't connect the engine earth cable Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Can't remove brake pad

    Use a pry bar gently between disc and pad to slide the piston in just enough to wiggle the pad out. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Won't start steering not locked

    I vote battery too. I did have this the other day when I didn't have the engine earth strap connected. So could be poor earth. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    R26 engine conversion

    My turbo failed as I think the map was slightly too strong for it. I had a spare engine to go in and will see how this one goes. The turbo failed and compression was down so all that oil didn't do it any good. I heard over the years of these engines failing and of course taking them past 300...

    R26 engine conversion

    Another bit of advice, you might as well buy one already done than drop 5k on yours. They come up quite a lot from anything from 3-10k. If you track it you will blow it up eventually. IMO you dont need more that 270bhp out of these, if you want more power go for something mid engined RWD. Sent...

    Clio 197 F4RT - catalityc converter replacement

    I think you have enough access if you take off the driveshaft and mounts, will be a PITA though. Why not give it a try as next step would be to pull engine. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
