1200bandit Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 I am thinking of a Clio sunroof,but in the past someone has cocked up the roof,never remove the tilt and slide roof so don’t know how it was cocked up . Can you give a cost posted to Liverpool as if it works will stick with it .Don’t what to spend a lot of cash and find it will not work.The is even screws coming though the roof.

Can give a cost of the bit of headliner posted to Liverpool. What to do the headliner fist ,then have a go at the roof skin. if the headliner does not work then a Clio sunroof is the forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1200bandit Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 In work this morning,no work to do so crack on with manta bits Cut out the the very rusty metal,had to cut deep on the rear but come out easy ( considering the amount of rust) Clean out the cut , thinking of using copper pipe so it doesn’t rust again. Got to find so kind of glue/ filler that is going to go fill the gap and go hard Have put it clamps hopefully it will flatten out a bit and when glue/ filler put in will hold the side straight Have made a template for the studs Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Jessopia74 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Good info there Wayne, don’t use copper as it will get oxide on it, go with Stainless steel A4 grade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Can't see what it is? Guessing it's the shark fins off the spoiler? If you need something to bond, use tiger seal, think it's made by Granville. Body shops use it to fit fibreglass kits. Etc. It dries 98% solid, can be cut, carved, sanded etc, slight flex when fully cured, takes about 5 days to fully harden . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Yes it the rear fin the n/s is not as bad. lt will be 5/6 weeks before l get to it ,hopefully it will be straight Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam.in.head Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 it can but its a bit fiddly. i used a sawn off spanner 17 or 19 mm ? . if its the correct unit on the angled piece you should manage it. the wiring always goes brittle there.usually where it enters the spade and also the metal loses its springiness too from the heat. i used heatproof / oilproof cable and put ring ends on both rather than the original type. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks for the info.as suspected l need a oil pressure unit.

cam.in.head Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) are you 100% sure its faulty. ? they usually fail on the connection sure but also the terminal that the spade plugs onto can become bad.thats why i usually ditch the original stye spade and put ring connections straight onto the terminals. just makes it a little more fiddly when tightening but should be sorted for good then ! if you get a new one make sure you get the correct type.there are variations on thread and on the guage output (bar) Edited January 1, 2023 by cam.in.head 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) It is well and truly gone Did have oil pressure but no oil light ( it just stopped working) Removed the dash ( again) checked the bulb all ok Removed the inlet manifold found the the wiring corroded When removed the wiring the wiring on the sensor was corroded and insecure Found on on eBay it’s for a Opel Record 1.8 .20 .

cam.in.head Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 just make sure its the same thread. carltons(rekord) and senators use the same sensor electrically but without the elbow and consequently have a different thread. to confirm your wiring as a last check. connect both your new wires to earth. guage should go to zero and light should be on ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re your faulty oil pressure sensor, I'm wondering if anyone with a 2.0 CIH has relocated this to the same place as on the 2.4 CIH. Alot easier to get to there, and not cooked by the exhaust manifold. Of course it involves lengthening the loom to reach and fitting an extension piece to clear the crank pulley. Also getting the steel blanking plug unscrewed from the ali timing cover which can be a pain!

1200bandit Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 The pressure sensor is on the o/s rear ( under the exhaust manifold) modified wiring will not be a problem it whoud be the oil pipe from the rear to the front of the engine, .lf someone has a idea how to carry this out as it whoud be a been placed to be. Have found a heat shield ( from a Nissan) so going to try to modify a heat shield to cover the sensor. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Jessopia74 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It can be done, but I believe the reason it’s on the block originally is so that it takes the wear into consideration ( pressure drop across the block journal’s) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Is the any kind of blank or plug that the sensor can fit straight into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
