Not been on the forum for a while as my 1.8 16v clio is no more due to a cam belt failure back in January. Anyway i've still got the car and i'm not sure what to do with it. I have replaced it with a fiat coop so its just gathering dust at the side of the house at present. Anyway im thinking...

Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to get a cambelt change on a 1.8 16v around dudley or even the birimgham area?? Done 50k now on the second belt and i want to get it sorted fairly soon. Thanks mike

Need to get my belt done. 112k now and it was done at 60k last. I think too mnay people dont think about the age of the belt aswell as miles done. 5 years max so anyone with a 16v/williams should get it done if its never been changed regardless of miles. Will be 8years or more for all of em if...

some nice motors round hagley. i saw a MERC SLR at the bottom of the Hagle mile last night

get it all the time in my valver. some days its good, others it seems poop. had a lift with someone with a new vaux signum diesel - 150bhp. there were 4 of us in it and it seemed quicker than the valver.

near me at stourbridge theyve got a strech of road where they got an esso, shell and texaco within about 200 m covering all 3. petrols cheap as none of them can put the price up without losing to the others. you just take your pick. :D

williams - bigger engine, better handling setup as wider track and its more exclusive, only came in blue with gold alloys. thats the main stuff. im sure others will fill in the rest

101k here. had camblet done at 61k but clutch, gbox steering column all original and no probs. had front discs changed on 100k. these were also original. had a lot of mway driving s its lastest pretty well. if tis a runabout and its done lots of miles will be more expensive as opposed one thats...

oh by the way the black ones were always the best :D

wheels is your biggest giveaway if standard, multi spoke turbines as opposed to cloverleaf shape. more drivers seat adjustments on ph2. badge on back is on car body on ph2 rather than clear plastic strip. different grill and minor body differences.

marigolds, yellow ones are the best.

ok. ive had a wheel bearing going on the rear of me 16v now for the last 2 months. thing is it doesnt seem to be getting noticeably worse although i have eased off on cornering speeds when i can. when ive got the cash im replacing the rear discs and bearings in one go but i aint got the £100 i...

ok

should say on the instructions for the cleaning kit. try a line of oil down each pleat or if its a spray - approx 1 spray along each pleat. the colour should be uniform when done. re-oil any white patches to make even

ill whip it off. funny as i got covered in petrol anyway.
