Has anyone got a valver with ABS?
I need to find a new ABS control unit and am wondering how common the ABS was on the 1.8 clio.
Or if anyone has just written their valver off with ABS and would like to sell me their abs computer then lets talk.
Anyone know a place that can repair ABS computers...
A relay has gone in my williams 3, not the replaceable 50 amp power relay but one of the relays in the computer.
Alternately, anyone know if the ABS system on a williams 3 is the same as that on a megane for example? Would be good if I...
Anyone know if there are any hidden pit falls in changing the front and rear brake pads on a williams?
You obviously need the tool to push the piston back in but is there anything else?
Cheers

Seeing as the price of mk 1 V6 clios is coming down so fast... has anyone else thought that they seem a bit underpowered for a 3 litre engine.
I know theyre about 230 bhp standard, but if you can pick one of for abot 14 grand, and spend a grand on it engine surely it will develop more than...

Does 0% finance... after a 25% deposit on tyres. Their prices look quite good aswell.
Some michelin pilot exaltos are winging their way to me as we speak.
Anyone had a good job done around the manchester area....or nationally for that matter.
The wire tie snapped on my bonnet dropping the bonnet into the bay window outside my gaff... one small round dent in bonnet...b*stard.
Im sure people will be releived to hear that despite my best efforts I have not managed to ensure there is one less williams 3 on the roads...
Picked it up yesterday, with a boat load a fresh paintwork and badges after my little run in with 2 motorway barriers last month.
It looks like...
Anyone read the little snippet at the side of the page in this months Evo
Where it said that the Cup had proven so popular the renault are thinking of discontinuing the 172 and just offering cups with ABS etc....
In other words they mean badgin all the cars up as cups but reverting them back...
Just to let everyone know that the williams 3 is in fact stratos blus and not monaco blue as a lot of people think it is.
I have just got the brochure and is says so on the back... plus Ill need a sh*t load of it to spray the new front end thats going on mine after I stuffed it into a motorway...
Errr... Ive done something bad... very bad.
Ive smashed the williams into 2 motorway barriers and it doesnt look very healthy... I am now minus 2 front headlights, a front bumper and a rear light cluster and tailgate... what a total penis.
The insurance man is coming round to collect it...
Ive noticed that the ABS on my williams wont come on under harsh braking until needed when going in a straight line...
but if I turn the wheel when braking hard it comes on nearly every time.
Anyone know if this is a characteristic of ABS that it comes on more readily if the wheels arent...
Does anyone know a good place to get replacement williams stickers from?
I need a new williams 3 sticker for the side of the beast as its smudged...
anyone had a good result from somewhere?
Last night on the good old Handforth bypass got my first taste of the 172.
Things went pretty much as you might expect.. ie: I caught up round the roundabouts but the extra 20 odd horses of the 172 meant it slowly pulled away on the straight bits... I was impressed by their grunt... they...
I have just succesfully completed this task and have found that you will need the following equipment.
1) Sharp Knife
2) Sturdy pair of garden seccoteurs
3) Some semtex
It took me approximately 30 mins to get the old one off using a combination of hacking it to bits with the sharp knife...
Anyone got piccies of their non-standard exhaust tail pipes.
Im getting a stainless steel one made for the beast and want to know if anyone has seen a quality looking pipe.
I could get them just to copy the original but... if theres better out there... giz a look.
Anyone know what gets altered when you get a performance ECU?
Im guessing the fueling gets reworked... but Ive heard the rev limiter gets pushed up a bit...
Now I may be soft but arent rev limiters there for a bloody good reason ie: to stop the pistons trying to escape through the bonnet...
Has anyone had their rear windscreen washer pack up on a mk1 clio?
My williams has suffered from day one... Ive worked out its not the pump or the nozzles... so it must be kinked somewhere.
Anyone know a good place to start looking?
Right this goes out to the hill power mob... how much does nick hill charge for chipping?
Plus whats it like for fuel consumption after... and perhaps the biggest question who has had the guts to tell their insurance theyve had it done and what was the damage on you policy?
I am tempted to...
Just read this months EVO magazine with the end of term report on their V6 clio....
Jesus H!... it lost 9 grand in 18 months....he traded it in for 16k.
Now that has just put it in the Civic type r bracket...errr.... I think I know which one Id go for.
Any of the V6 owners crying into...
ANyone got a tailor made stainless exhaust... if so how much and from where.
Im thinking of getting my williams exhaust copied in stainless steel (with a little less silencing he heee), when mine needs a new one.
Surely someone on here has driven all of these 3 and can give an unbiased view on which they reckon to be the best...
The williams is said to be the best hot hatch ever according to EVO... I want to know whether thats a load of old pony or whether it can still give the 2 newest renault sports...
Had a scoot with these 2 yesterday.. all pretty high speed stuff on sweeping motorway slip roads...
Results were that the cossie was rapid as you might expect pulling away until his arse dropped on a tight bend and he eased off...
The ST220 though didnt proove to be that quick, I went away...
Anyone know the effects of say going from a 185/55/15 to a 195/50/15 tyre?
Or in other words fitting the same size tyres from a 172 onto a Williams.
Does oversize rubber give any handling benefits, or does it actually c**k the handling up?
