Yeah I kind of feel thick for writing it now looking at it. Shame though and must be horrible for the employees, I bet a fair few have been there since the start.
hopefully they get bought up though and don’t disappear.
Very sad news. Strange reading this bit though, Westfield Sports Cars had just £25,722 in cash at the end of last year, along with stock worth £2.2 million and debits of £1.76 million. How modes that work? Seems there was more value than debt.
I know people have mated the vw 6 speed gearbox to a 182 (I’m sure) so wonder if a dsg could be adapted? Doubt the clio 4 gearbox would mate to the f4r engine. Anything is possible though.

I’ll PM you.
Went to D7R fabrication in Telford who did a ghost mod on my exhaust. Not sure on the actual specifics of what he does, but it has changed the car. Deeper tone and louder when putting your foot down, but liveable day to day! Sounds like an animal now.
No it’s ok. I’m going to give them a try at the weekend. I’ve looked and ‘don’t think’ I’ll have to remove the bottom strut bolt so might be ok. I can only try!
Fitted a cup spoiler to her yesterday, not the large one but the smaller one, which I think suits it nicely and finishes off the rear end imo. Very happy with it.
Managed to change my oil today for motul dctf oil.
the change itself was simple enough once I’d drained the oil. I used a clean bit of garden hose to put the oil into the fill hole.
the oil that came out was a dark brown colour and obviously needed changing, 67k miles. The oil going in was a...
Hi all
Does anyone know if I manage to get a later Rlink system and fit it to my 2014 clio with Rlink, whether the dab would work and wether I need it coded? Or would it be plug and play?
thank you
