    Thanks guys :D Just a personal preference with the ph1 mirrors, I think they look smarter, you dont see many valvers with them on these days. I've always prefered ph1 mirrors and ph2 grill tbh The vee used to belong to riz, my m8 picked it up 3 days after I got mine back Got myself an F7R...

    How hard is it to change a clutch (DIY)

    £150 for 4-5 hours labour is a fcukin bargain :eek: -£30 for the clutch and it's £120 labour, £20-30 per hour is very cheap:eek: Let the garage do it, not worth the hassle DIY to only save £120 for a new clutch

    brakes

    I've found that the combination of discs & pads are quite a big factor performance wise, certain disc/pad combinations seem to be quite poor e.g. I've heard a lot of people have said ebc greenstuff pads are sh*te, I had greenstuff pads with ebc discs that were a massive improvement over std...

    clio cup, leicester

    it's a bit sad to see people giving up on valvers lately, all cars will get to the point of being money pits due to age. I've stuck with mine and it's a minter now:D If I could afford it I'd like a 172 as my borin everyday car and the valver as a toy lol @ lisa, now I understand a bit more...

    Clio 1.8 16V

    Another good source of information is www.williamsclio.co.uk , do your homework and look at a few to get a better feel for them. The only reason most people say they're unreliable seem to forget they're older cars, and things wear out so the thing are gonna cost money, so will the 182's 197's...

    Early MOT, if it fails, can I still run out last years?

    You should be ok, if the police etc do a check it will come up as showing a valid mot until the date it runs out. But be careful as there can still be things wrong with the car that can incur penalty points & fines dodgy tyres/brakes or even no water in the washer bottle if the weather is dodgy
