Any one know any where in London (preferably north) that can do a cambelt change for a fair price. Asking for a mate who's been quoted £280 which I think is extortion.

But the valver has finally gone - to a pretty well known CS member. Ended up just taking £500 for it with no tax or mot but tbh after not being used for 2 years, a tank of petrol and a good run it was purring again. Didnt even change the oil! It's prob worth alot more than that but I have...

Oils prob a bit yukky, sounded like the tappets were sticking a bit. Shall I just use an engine flush then fill it back up? Never done this before so can some one reccomend a good product and let me know whats involved?

Hello, long time no speak!! I need to replace the wheel barings on the rear passenger side of the valver. How much do they cost and what type are they - IE are they the ones that need a press to fit them??

My mates mrs has a ph3 mk1 Billabong and wants to uprate all the speakers. But it only has them in the dash??? If I take her door cards off, will the mountings still be there for speakers? IE the same as a normal mk1 Clio door speaker mountings.

Ok, f**k me they are quick at top end. I admit, I had NOTHING against it in that range. Once my boost drops off around 5k it ate me for breakky. New turbo comes soon though that can hold boost :) If your a member, your a very "adventurous" driver too.

Im amazed no ones questioned the Stig for getting a 17 tonne Cadillac round the track quicker than a Clio?

Any ideas off the top of your heads? Have some nice components in mine and might stick em in the MR2 tonight if theyll fit easily.

Some kinda black chrome finish on your 182 wheels would look well good. Any one done it? Really polished though. Just a thought.

Wonder how many fickle people will come out of the woodwork after the Honda won last night? Alot of peeps on here bang on constantly about the Clios handling yet it got outhandled. In its defense people always say "but on a track" Guys, the 182s a fantastic car, it lost by 2 thenths of a...

Mate of mines just belled me to ask whos they are and said the phase 2 looks mint.

Met you before, you came to my local to watch the Carling Cup final! Body kit, 17s big CS sticker in rear window?? I was walking so you prob missed the 2 which was parked miles away. (bloody fair)

:D I am!

Programme on Discovery Home and Leisure hosted by Mike Brewer. He was at Santa Pod and it looked like a RTOC day!! Saw a blue K plate valver with clear rear clusters and a funny looking boot strip go tearing up the track. Also a 250bhp GTT with one seat and a skinny driver do a 12.1 1/4...

Just a point with Cups. How much lighter than an ordinary 172 are they? Just thinking yesterday that its totally lost with some one like me whos a fair bit heavier than the average sized man. Then if you stick one of my large mates in there too then its completely gone!

Any one read the review? Says that the cars ok but seeing as the Clios only a couple of hundred quid dearer every one will buy that! Ford will kick themselves for not making an RS version. [Edited by Matt16v on 01 February 2005 at 9:39am]

As some old skool people may remember my fuel pump packed in at the begining of July. Well I got it back this morning! It seems to have a one off fuel pump, there have also been vars complications so its taken all this time to get it sorted. Now need to tidy her up a bit, Get it MOTd and...

Right first things first - I know they dont work and am not considering buying one. I need BenR to tell me why they are pointless. I read a little bit you posted a while back and cant find it on the search. Please help me stop others from buying them!

Thanks to Paul Mitchel @ Infini-car whos sending me the right fuel pump for my Clio. Been off the road since beginning of July due to no one having a Scooby what pump should be in there. Well hopefully in the next week itll be fixed and running and ready to finally be sold!

My bolsters are a little tatty and white looking. Any one know a way of making it look a little tidier - is there a way? Some one suggested black shoe polish, would have thought this was suicide in terms of getting it on your clothes!

Aranged for a garage to come and pick up my Clio for a new fuel pump to be fitted on Tuesday. Its at my mates work, some one turns up and says to him, the batterys flat and it wont start. DER, the fcuking fuel pumps knackered, it wont start with or without the battery! They still havent...

Looking through the galleries and a couple of 182s did low 4 sec 0-60s at Donny South? How the fcuk did that happen? Short of being shot out of a cannon or carrying enough nos to blow the south of England up I cant see how its possible?

Any one know if all the Jap FM stations are below 89.9? Got a Jap MR2 the other day and the radio only goes up to 89.9!! All the displays and writing are English though!

I think running out of juice has knackered my fuel pump. Now means farting around trying to replace it!!

Right, Getting myself an MR2 Turbo within the next few days and a friend of mine has a fully working Clifford Concept 600 alarm which hes selling to me for £100. Does any one know of any one that can come out and fit it in the Essex area? I want it aproved as well so it keeps its Cat1...

On the back of a D&G recovery truck! Was out on Saturday night when the nagative terminal decided it didnt want to make a connection any more and the battery died. Had them out 3 times while every one else was racing about etc etc. Finally they just towed me home. There was a lad there...

Any one ever seen one of these? I saw one in Kos last year and one in London a few weeks back. Funny looking things!! Assuming theyre only for the foreign market as the one on London was a left hooker woth foreign plates?

Any one from Thurrock should read page 47 of the Gazzette. Nice little article about the Williams and Renault in general being the masters of the hot hatch.

Just secured the first grand towards my proposed engine conversion :D (thanks to Dad) Should have doubled it by August hopefully, not bad considering I pay nearly all of my wages on loans and credit cards!! Unless Ben convinces me that his 16v mods can compare to a 180+ bhp GTT conversion...

Any one know the actual law for this? I was told I would need the V5 from the GTT to prove to the MOT examiner that the engine is from a pre 01/08/1992 car? Got a possible donor car but no V5 as it was in a breakers yard.
