Project Tickman's stuff. MOT time rolls around.

[Tickman]

10/10. Would crash again.

 

I am seriously impressed how well it stood up.

 

It is quite impressive, those Ncap ratings are not made up. It did better than the wall!

 

I know I'm miles away but I have a dead Clio that I need to get round to breaking.

 

Where is miles away?

 

It all depends on timings and insurance dealings.

 

Edit: Thanks for the offer!

ouch ! glad the driver wasn't hurt, it must have been quite a frightening experience. surprisingly tough, those little clios.

 

excellent choice of tow car

[Mally]

Can you not rebuild the wall yourself/pay a local unemployed dry stone waller?

That's what I'd be doing if I even owned up to it.

There's loads of walls falling down near my house, one of which jumped out in front of a police car years ago.

The police were informed at the time, I shall try and find the owner of the wall and suggest just that. I have built a few walls not too dissimilar so it wouldn't be too difficult.

Those Clios are tough stuff! It was one just like that one, that rearended my Orion in 2003 and put me off work for 6 months. Looks like it did it's job protecting the occupants, which is good enough!

I was driving in front and it scared the shit out of me.

I think diesel on the road is quite likely, that stretch has felt iffy in the 205 recently.

Stockport. You could wait for a member of the SVM or other similar far northern based gentleman to be attending a Northern Powerhouse meeting as a Shitely type option.

I have an entire Mk2 Clio in TED48 blue with a dead (ECU) and not worth repairing. Nearly all parts will be available but you would have to be desperate for the bonnet. Wings, lights, mirrors are all OK. Only thing I can think of that is missing off the front is half the rubber chin spoiler thing.

I am off up to Crieff weekend of 9th if that helps. I can bring things.

Would it not just be easier to swap the ECU and body computer from the crashed one to the dead ECU one? Quicker and easier than swapping body parts!

[SiC]

From the pics though it appears that most of the damage is to the crash bar. This should be easily swappable if the mounts haven't bent in too.

This week and the insurance will decide its fate. It will be a purely financial decision and Clio replacement adverts have been supplied by a certain member. If it is cheaper to keep it going than get something else reliable to replace it then that will happen.

 

Insurance were great and very straight about its fate and the Police were quite entertaining as Chuck was just rambling on and I told her at least three times to just shut up as the PC would have run out of notebooks.

[The Moog]

I can guess who has been sending you adverts.....

[320touring]

Aye, thon Dome is a bad sort;)

[Tickman]

The Clio is now fixed, I decided to hammer a slightly smaller one over the top of it.

 

Hello Fren.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[320touring]

Phwoar ph1s are for winnarz!

[FakeConcern]

 We (my daughters and I) refered to phase 1 as happy face and phase 2 as angry face Clios!

 

Daughter No 1 had happy, daughter No 2 still has angry (in fact I changed the oil on it today and I'd forgotten what a pian that plastic filter case with a paper element is and have the grazed knuckes to prove it).

[Ghosty]

Make sure it's had the bonnet catch sorted, you don't want it going all facepalm on you.

[The Moog]

Pre dented for added character

[Tickman]

Collection kit includes nothing.

 

On route.

 

[Tickman]

Wandered to the bus station, as can be seen I dressed to join the masses.

 

Waiting.

 

 

Then the magical mystery tour began.

 

 

I am not sure where to get off!

[Supernaut]

[Tickman]

Hopefully the collection today will only cost this much.

 

 

It has just taken 10 minutes to upload that picture!

It really wasn't worth it.

 

 

Sorry.

 

 

 

MOAR DOGES.

Are you the Sea Captain dressed dude with obvious sword stick apparel? I thought Capt 70's was rockin it but that is immense!

Sorry.

 

 

Thanks for the support*

Unfortunately not, if anyone is in Edinburgh then keep an eye out for him as that is where his bus was headed.

[Tickman]

Today's fantastic view.

 

 

Got off the bus and google maps still thought I was driving and was going a long way round so I took a short cut!

 

 

After a bit of guessing left or right, Hello Fren

 

 

Quick picture of the miles before leaving

 

 

As required

 

 

Got a bonus orange light after a bit

 

 

 

Overall not bad to drive, temperature gauge didn't appear to work then got a couple of dots up and then didn't work again after I switched it on again.

Sounds like it has its own tranquility waterfall somewhere so I will have to find that.

Tires feel like they are square so will swap wheels from the black one to eliminate them and no doubt find what is actually the cause. 

Misfire occasionally at idle, probably hasn't had plugs since the tires were done and they look old.

I will no doubt have an ever increasing list!

 

 

[Split_Pin]

I do like these early MK2 (or is it a 3) Clios, still a fair few around so cant be a bad steer.

 

As a bonus, at least your fuel guage works! Whats that warning lamp for?

[320touring]

It's a MK2 ph1, and the warning light means OMG ENGINE ELECTRIX

[Ghosty]

Why not just have a lightning bolt? If I was none the wiser I’d have wondered why a pez car had a glow plug light.

[Tickman]

The internet implies engine loom and chafing in a couple of posts.
