Any ideas on a price of the engine and box?

Some of that, was actual footage of my mate driving to work at Safeway's in 2003/2004.

Ola. Where in Portugal do you live?

Guilty as charged.

Had a look at that, it's Ollie's old car on here. Spoke to the seller via ebay, it has changed hands 3 times since Ollie sold it. I'd be interested at £4k, especially since the box has to be swapped out & it needs brake pipes, but no chance at £5k.

There's something about Jim that looks right as well. #mancrush

This week, I'll be mostly fancying a low boost turbo 172/182. I have a few questions. 1) Do you have one, is it for sale c) Did the clioturbo/greer versions all blow up, or does someone still have one. How do you tell these apart from the engine dynamics variants. 4) Approximate costs for...

The mumsnet reference is partly true though, the Kadjar comes with £1700 deposit, £185 a month and a free breast pump, doesn't it Fraser?

Whose is that 405? I like that.

I never thought about that with leasing. Learn something new every day. cheers. P.S I've only ever leased a TV, in the late 90's.

I thought it seemed a fair deal. Then the £1700 disclosure, maybe not so. In hindsight, they're likely be throwing these things at people post-covid, but not that you were to know that + that might not be the reality. If the kids ruining your previous car was a concern, then the cost of...

rickyP or DDS. I have a rickyP hoodie. Fyi.

My flywheel is OEM had done about 80k road miles. (not a clio). I then doubled the horsepower with a turbo & threw a paddle clutch on there + matching pressure plate. The clutch was used, so it wasn't massively happy at the new power level & it's a 4 paddle so a bit heavy on the knees. I've...

I turned the boost up and it doesn't half go. Totally different than it first came. It felt pretty rapid on boost. However, the idle issue/bogging at low revs has returned. You can rev past it low down and it drives fine past 2k but I've now run out of spares, money and enthusiasm. It went...

Do you want a boost gauge holder? I have a spare. x

Here it is now. The panels I haven't had painted have a couple of years of outside filth on them, so not sure what it'll all look like when it's had a deep cut. If you look to the first post in the thread on page 1, you can see what it looked like before. I've turned the boost up a...

Shakedown version 2 wasn't very successful. - Idled light rubbish again, bogging & mis-firing. Turns out I'd put the wrong coil pack back on. Idiot. Changed the plugs in all of this. They're pretty coked up. - Then noticed an oil leak from the turbo return. Took it off, to see there is no...

HomePlugs can be hit & miss, but it's better to have to restart them than struggle for long periods with poor wifi connectivity. I use the ones with 'pass-through' so you don't loose a plug socket, but they seem to be more temperamental than the more traditional ones. They lose layer 2...

I was hoping someone would sell me one for £2k.

Someone just sell me theirs.

Always wanted one, still do. A couple of grand cheaper and I'd have gone for this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174302807715

I'm holding out for the thread update regarding the Subaru conversion

They've tried all that. Using the names, etc but they are just the same gear underneath. They made a Gordonini Clio 200? and it was just a paint job and a badge. I mean, adopting retro styling. Fashion's rotate, cars just seem to stick to linear. Their just mainstream stuff is no different to...

It won't happen, but a revolutionary idea to keep with a previous post about how car firms used to innovate, would be to do re-runs. Not just putting out 100 Renault 5's as the tooling would be cost prohibitive, but maybe resurrection of a 'good' sports line and then fitting modern running gear...

With what he does for a living, ragging cars beyond speed limits on video, would you not just pay it, shut up and move on. I've unsubscribed, can't be doing with bleeting outspokens who pretend they are cleaner than clean and then moan about being caught out. It's borderline palletable anyway...

FB Market place? £200 NG postcode? Winner.

Great Preston is nice. Sure you'll like it there. I'm originally from Garforth. Left in the late 90's before it became it's own city. Spend a fair bit of time in Methley as well, which is a nice place.

Oooo 106 friend, looks lovely that. Where is it now?

Many thanks.

You're spot on here mate. It's more effort to do it wrong. I'm not mechanic either, but I'd never be able to drive it confidently with some of the stuff done to this.
