:lol: you know you love it really.
Its a sad day though mate :(
think im going to Scott
dunno coops, havent really thought about it, only found out ten mins ago, oil cap was milky and engine temp wouldnt stop rising
just been drinkin jd since
i'd send u a bottle mate if i cud, thats gotta be woundin.
keep on truckin tho man, n get it meggi bottom ended!
this is ****in stupid
gotta ask myself, is it worth it
You know the car so may as well stick a willie lump in it. Get some silver willie rims on there and you've got a totally different beast. Wide track it if you can afford it and you've got a naples williams that'll put a smile on your face everytime you drive it.
bloody renaults!!! i feel like im so lucky with mine! touch wood no major problems!! dont wanna make you feel bad mate but i took her for a nice 150 mile run today! she was as good as gold! you will get it sorted. chin up
thats just cruel!
what happened to going to view the one in cardiff
if i were you i'd drain oil
engine clean fresh oil so now milky residue on cap and dipstick
sell it like you were gonna at a silly £1400-1500 price
quick sale in a few days
not your problem then
couldnt do that dood, i wouldnt like it if it was me, thats not on
just chuck the f7p away and start again
i just been driving my missus polo mate, got back in the valver after and as much as it pisses me off with rattles n bangs things not working, nothing i;ve ever driven, faster ro slower has made me smile more! so like fatboy says, chin up and get it runnin again. 8)
god knows mate i dont see any other option really
is it overheating and losing water bad
how did you notice it was head gasket????
white in oil??
car was heating up within 3 mins on idle, water pipe blew off due to steam pressure, drinkin water uber quick and then yer, milky oil cap
take thermostat out
top up with water
clean oil
sell the beast asap
make a small hole in top of water filler bottle to allow pressure out
hmm why do you get through so many cars again Matt?? :roll:
dodgy motor trader per chance matt? tbh i wudnt expect that from someone on the forum, its not cricket mate [-X
Thats bad to hear, hope you get it all sorted.
no i havent done it but desperate times desperate measures
i'm sure we'd all sooner him have £1500 towards a car and not have to pay another £500 sorting this one out which he doesnt want anyway!
see my point lads
sorry 2 hear this gav :(
i felt the same way wen i blew my gear box.....
once uv got it all sortd agen though and u step in2 the car for the 1st time in ages its the best feelin in the world!
and u will be walkin round like this 4 days ... :D \:D/ :D
Sounds like you're at the stage where you just saw you engine fail dramatically but haven't really investigated into the damage. This is always the worse part when you mind conjures up all the worse (and most expensive) case scenarios.
Go get it checked properly first then decide what to do. It may not be as bad as you imagined or it might be even worse. It's usually the former; it will still cost you though, but maybe not as bad as you think.
well i know the symptoms of a blown head gasket
but im takin it down my dads unit today and leaving it there. Been lookin everywhere and cant find a f7r anywhere
there all over the place when i done want one!
surely nick will sort u out since he only reuilt it weeks ago?
anyways all you will have to do is take head off, see if its warperd, if u can, skim it, and replace gasket.
lol sounds easy dont it mate
im going to phone Nick now see what he says :D
you should be able to get an f7p lump fairly cheaply.
but i already have a f7p lump
if the engine is coming out again mate i mayswell put a f7r in there
hmmmm garauntee on previous work....there will be.
dont know if it is as im not sure how long the other owner of the engine had it b4 i brought it and i have no paper proof nick ever touched it
good sales pitch.........no reciepts?? n u believed him? hmmmmmmm
if nick has touched it...hel have records of it, itl be down in his books somewhere
true, but tbh mate i dont think i can be arsed with the hassle
im just going to get another valver
and then turn the naples into my project
i thought u had it rebuilt, not the previous owner. i would have thought he would have a log of the lisence plate somewhere? when the previous owner said it had been rebuilt did u not ask to see the reciepts too?
if i was to do anything id put in a f7r, and sell the f7p bottom end with a new head gasket in it. i mean its doubtfull u did any harm unless u drove around it with the temp light on for miles, unless u were v unlucky
nah mate the head gasket must of blown thursday and i havent drove it since
the prev owner got it rebuilt and i brought it off him as he didnt put it in the car that he was going to put it in
sounds dodgey!
a rebuilt engine shouldnt blow a HG. even more so if its been done by nick hill!!! :shock:
disgusted at matt uk's comments! no wonder you get thru so many cars. not worth punting it on, it will come back to bite you! get it sorted and sell it, or f7r it and enjoy it again!
maybee respray it as well - naples is a shit colour after all! :wink:
nah im on my way to ur house to nick your gorgeous valver Stew :wink:
im going to SORN it, get another valver, in blue, white wheels [copying stew i know but i love it!]
then im going to f7r my naples [MYSELF DIY :wink:] in my own time

5K :wink:
sold!!
on 6 yr finance :wink:
can you pm me the details of the one in cardiff if your not buying. i fancy a pair of wide ass clios. dimma and maxi . cheers
will do mate
but just to let u know so u dont waste the trip:
he wants 3k no less
has some slight body work that needs doing [front bumper split away from body, front of the bumper is chipped and so is rear near zorst, and bodywork on the sills is starting to crack [the fibreglass body]
needs new brakes all round
needs a new speedo cable [he dont know how long the owner left the speedo cable broke for so may of racked up a good amount of miles since] but speedo doesnt work at all
and fuel guage dont work
and on start up there was only 1 bar of oil pressure
heater doesnt work at all! and all fuses r ok
needs a new PAS belt
oil is VERY black which might be a little concerning
and there is oil all over the engine bay
and it is black with glitter sparkles in the paint, not just black
oh, and you will be buying wheel bearings every week cuz he has about 4" wheel spacers on each wheel
still intrested though anythings possible will have nearly enough bits for another turbp motor at this rate
