At a guess, i'd say: Engine (we have one that's just had belts done, new PAS pump (that cost £175 alone from Renault!) - £600 delivered. Fuel - £650 (based on using Nick's BMW M3 and a round trip of approx 3k miles with tools, engine crane etc on board.) Ferry - £75? (Dover to Calais) Either...

We certainly will! You'll save a lot of money and get a car that works and we'll get a nice few days sunshine!

PMSL at both seizing. If that was the case, you'd know about it.

A lot of people on here are though. I'd be that in most parts of the country, there are people on here doing work on their driveways for much cheaper than garages/specialists..

See, i disagree completely, if you're useful with the spanners, yet again. A second hand engine is sub £300 now. If I was driving a cheap Ph1, i'd not bother with the cam and aux belt. If (and i said if) it goes, stick a second hand lump in for cheaper than it costs for a belt change..

Cheap Clio sports do exist- i've been driving around 172's and 182's for the last two years on and off. I've never had much do wrong. They can be run on a shoe string if you're handy with the spanners. It's only when you look at brand new parts and add labour that you're in trouble. 172's are...

Calipers almost certainly won't need changing. Get on the phone and ask exactly what's wrong with them. Ask for pictures..

Nope, someone experienced will diagnose it with their ears. No need to touch anything. Saying that, I've heard a lot of other noises coming from them. Dephaser is the one that seems to get banded about most of late.

He also didn't hit the steering wheel. Can't see if the airbag stopped it or not from that angle.

How has an MOT flagged that you need new brake calipers? What exactly has it failed on? Seems very odd.

He got out unharmed. It did it's job perfectly!

Oooft. Nighty night, sump.

Sign up on here. Get in the wanted section, you'll be able to buy a set of springs for £30 odd. If you want uprated ones, Eibach Sportlines sell for approx £100 for the full set second hand. Should be an hour or so's labour to fit the front pair. 20 mins to do the rears. (can be done much...

Few options. -Reverse thread tools from Halfords. -Weld an old socket onto locking wheel nut. Remove that way. I've got more locking wheel nuts that I could ever use. If you need some to replace, let me know.

PMSL. £380's a bargain if you're getting warranty, a reciept and new box oil. From someone who knows what they're doing too! Clutch cable isn't necessary unless you're having problems with it.

5 is a great shot!

15's for go. And tyre prices. And looks with a drop. And everything. No need for anything other that 15's. Ok. Bye.

Mental! Only worth £30 and they're a fucker to take off without breaking them!

They won't have touched it until a settlement has been reached, Luke.

Agreed. Use a bunch of cowboys and it'll never go well. 2hrs 45mins is impossible. I did one in 3.5 hours and that was flat out. And I've done about 12 now! No ways are they going to be any quicker than that. When you say you put a tag on the box, where was it? Got a picture of where you put it?

£75 posted.

Everyday's a school day. xx Shock to hub - 21mm. Ball joint lowers - 18mm. Ball joint pinch bolt - 16mm. Brake calipers- 18mm (i think?) ARB bush bracket - 13mm. TRE nut - 16mm? Front driveshaft nut - 32mm. RR is 30mm. Wishbone bolts/nuts - 18mm.

They're 21's? x

They're 18's. (; xx

Tool not always needed. Put pressure on the wishbone pushing it down (i use a breaker bar levered against something solid (gearbox or chassis normally)) and hit the ball joint from above with a hammer and bolster.

Take the pay out. Buy it back. Carry on driving it with the dent in. Boom.

One of my favourite sheds ever. The sister car to the Failsport 106d runabout shed is currently on eBay...

As Gray said. Underneath the thermostat housing.

Mine.

PMSL. That's been retired now. Scaffolding pole sorts anything else that's an issue. (; Oh, yeah- worth mentioning i remove the box from the studs, then remove the clutch plate- gives you an extra 2" in the bay, which is always handy. Ahem.
