Does the dephaser get changed every cambelt change? How do you know if its on its way out also?

Ok cheers for all the help guys. Its going to be a while yet anyway cuz im getting a house so this time next year should have the cash saved.

That 172 cup looks stunning. What else is different on the cup. Are they officially called cups like on the log book ect. Would hate to buy on to find out someone has just put the stuff on.

Oh and whats the difference between phase1 and 2. Soz for all the questions lol.

Ac wont bother me because its a toy and only adds further weight, problems and cost. So what is different about the cup and what are these engines good for miles wise. Also how do I tell its a cup? Are they numbered or anything?

So am I best to just get hold of the 172 cuz its cheaper to buy? Did they do any limited editions or anything? Oh and how much does tax cost?

My problem with the 172 is its down 10bhp from the start and im guessing these cars are hard to squeeze out the extra bhp for cheap. I know there not made for straight line speed but I still feel like im being robbed lol.

Hi all Hopefully in about a years time I should be able to get my self a new toy :) The budget will be around 2k-2.5k The question is should I get a 182. My 1st car was the clio and I did have alot of trouble with it but it hadn't been looked after well at all. Iv had vauxhall ford vw and...

So is there any common faults? im eitehr gonna end up with one of these or the corsa vxr

Hey all My previous car was a Clio ph2 1.2 16v, i was a member of this club but I sold my car because it was so unreliable it was unreal. Basically what i want to know is what’s this 197 like? I said when i got rid of my Clio that i would never have a French car again but they are so nice...

do u mean height between the two? or height at all?

Iv got some springs for my 1.2 and is it possible/safe to have them on a 1.6 if i get one? i emailed ktec racing (who i got the springs from) some guy said i need diffrent springs, but is he only just saying this so i spend more cash? cheers

its a dynamique

Really that low?

How much would i get for my 1.2 clio, its 2002 done 140k but on its 2nd engine (thats done aprox 40k when replaced). Body work is ok, a few scratches and dents, oh and a major one on my bonnet. Would 1.7k be asking for too much? cheers
