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

matt uk
26-03-2006, 23:47
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

Gav
26-03-2006, 23:50
couldnt do that dood, i wouldnt like it if it was me, thats not on

just chuck the f7p away and start again

Coops
26-03-2006, 23:50
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)

matt uk
26-03-2006, 23:56
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??

Gav
26-03-2006, 23:59
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

matt uk
27-03-2006, 00:08
take thermostat out

top up with water

clean oil

sell the beast asap

matt uk
27-03-2006, 00:09
make a small hole in top of water filler bottle to allow pressure out

Martin
27-03-2006, 00:14
hmm why do you get through so many cars again Matt?? :roll:

Coops
27-03-2006, 00:14
dodgy motor trader per chance matt? tbh i wudnt expect that from someone on the forum, its not cricket mate [-X

arj256
27-03-2006, 00:15
Thats bad to hear, hope you get it all sorted.

matt uk
27-03-2006, 00:20
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

Mattie
27-03-2006, 00:24
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.

Gav
27-03-2006, 08:05
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!

Jamie.
27-03-2006, 09:04
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.

Gav
27-03-2006, 09:10
lol sounds easy dont it mate

im going to phone Nick now see what he says :D

summeh
27-03-2006, 09:29
you should be able to get an f7p lump fairly cheaply.

Gav
27-03-2006, 09:32
but i already have a f7p lump

if the engine is coming out again mate i mayswell put a f7r in there

2 live
27-03-2006, 09:32
hmmmm garauntee on previous work....there will be.

Gav
27-03-2006, 09:33
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

2 live
27-03-2006, 09:37
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

Gav
27-03-2006, 09:44
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

Jamie.
27-03-2006, 10:00
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

Gav
27-03-2006, 10:03
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

stew
27-03-2006, 11:14
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:

Gav
27-03-2006, 11:28

Dancliovalver

Gav

Dancliovalver

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

Gav
27-03-2006, 18:16
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

Zollo
27-03-2006, 18:20
Hmmm, sounds tempting...

MAXIBOY
27-03-2006, 18:54
