There's nothing about for the latest version yet, someone will leak a hack for it in a few days though. Need a jailbroken device to do it that way though.
Couldn't you try the Jubilee clip method for the tensioner? Bit pikey but it works from what I've read on here.
As for the waterpump, it's a bit more fiddly than you'd imagine due to those etorx bolts holding it on, also make sure you clean all of the old gasket off before fitting the new...
I've owned 2 172 Cups and a Ph-1. The Ph-1 was the best of the three and that's coming from someone who was very anti-Ph-1 at 1st lol.
I couldn't put my finger on what it was exactly that made the Ph-1 better but it just seemed to do everything better than the two Cups did in a driving sense.
Manchester postcodes are still poor for insurance, granted a little cheaper at the moment but still nowhere near as competitive as alot of the quotes in the posts above.
I started playing it the middle of last year I think it was, so I've had plenty of time to build my city up lol. I haven't spent a penny of real money on it, although I have to admit I may have cheated in regards to getting donuts in the past ;)

I've recently had a similar...
Yeahhh they just deteriorate and get worse and worse once they start failing. As for bumping it on your own, yeah it's not easy but a good work out if nothing else haha.
Would still mean the whole unit would need replacing.
If it is just the starter (which it sounds like) you can just bump start it for the time being. I managed to get it down to a fine art a few years ago with the Cup when the starter motor started failing in that. lol
I fitted RSInlets to mine coupled with other minor mods it made a noticeable difference. It's never going to make it feel like a rocket ship though. It depends on how bad your current ones are but matched inlets will always be better but you pay for the privilege.

Rigby's XR2 on Pistonheads.
Alot of work has gone in to this to make it what it is and it's a very quick car.
