Love the Saab 900. My dad had one, unfortunately not a turbo but to this day it's the most comfortable car I've ever been in and it felt 1000x better built than the Granada that it replaced.
70mm is what you want.

£200 extra for a water pump? Are they planning on doing the belts first and then doing the pump as a separate job? 😂 f**king taking the piss. Find a specialist locally or put it on a transporter and send it to one. Unless you like being dry bummed?
Surely doing anything to it would ruin it? It's a lovely example and needs to be kept original imo. I know Ash has a track record of doing good mods very well but still, leave it alone!
P.S. Should have kept the Alfa😍😂.
@T9 0LLE ran his 172 boosted for a couple of years and as far as I'm aware it's still going strong now. An Ed low boost kit won't kill the car but it will change the characteristics drastically. That's why people sell up quick.
197 steeing wheels fit on a 182 so I'd imagine the same hardware for aftermarket wheels works on both too. I expect you'll need a wheel with a horn push though as there's no stalk horn on the mk3.
Try the one you have but if it's too big definatly find a shop you can goto and try others. The seat we had wouldn't fit in a clio so I bought a 225 instead so try before you buy (a megane😂).
I'd give @renaultpartsdirect a message to see if they are still available. If they are be prepared for a silly price though.

I don't understand why he's plastered up half the passenger window. The thing is never going to move under its own power because it'll weigh 8 tonnes and never be road legal again. He may as well just built a trailer into a stormtrooper. Or Jabba the Hutt. Now that I'd like to see😂.
Car looks well looked after, apart from the overdue belts that is! The full kit of cambelt and aux belt is £479 on rpd, but out of stock. Have a look on their Web site to check part numbers. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/?make=1813&model=1820&category=1872&post_type=product&action=vpf-search
Great work so far, it's looking much better now. That 106 though😍. I was skilled enough to persuade my mum to swap her shitty micra for a red xsi just after I passed my test. What a lucky 18 year old I was driving mums car then😂. I got smoked by an R5 GTT though and that started my love hate...
That was lucky being able to buy it back again. I saw my old megane F1 I bought new for sale the other year but temping as it was I couldn't have it back. Sloppy seconds and what have you 😂.
Oh. Find one that's not paying stupid rent then😂. Or just buy a scorpion system. If you can live with the w**k fitting then the noise is suitably less intrusive.
Have they cracked all the way around like that or just where the load has been? If you do very little miles and they are just stood then that's not really what they are designed to do and at 6+ yesrs old I don't really see how you can blame Michelin.
172 wheels you say🤔. I've got a set in the shed with centre caps. Only issue is they're blue!
Good work saving them though, even if you don't make loads of money keeping more 1*2's on the road is a worth while endeavour. 👍
Nearly. He plans to keep the derv up front and fit a blown V8 on the back, you know for when he's at Pod🤣.
If my car breaks down again I'm setting it on fire and walking home. I can't hear that s**t again.
Not matter how embarrassing it is you just have to take a pic though 😂. He took it steady winching it on and kept an eye on the front bumper. Needn't have worried, there was at least a cm of clearance🤏.
