Default Three Arches...

A massive thanks to the guys at the Three Arches for squaring away Mrs Merv's Clio 182 this week...!

Bought it at the **** end of last year and almost instantly started losing oil.. after a wee visit it was apparent the the guy we bought it off, bodged a repair, BADLY! So in short, after Dan and Liam crawling all over it, we had the headgasket and cam seal replaced!!

There was enough sealant on the car to stop the Titanic from sinking, in between the oil channels so they were very surprised it was still running!

Even the timing was out...

So now we've got a 182 that's running like a dream and should be spot on for a long time yet!!!

Dean, Dan and Liam....

They had plenty of space in the engine bay to work too
