1.4 and 1.6 heads are the same.

Yep easy enough to fit.

WHilst people seem to belive this is expensive depents on the labour rate easy enough to get garages with £100 a hour labour rate. Its not cheap running a garage

Upper seat belts is the best place. The sear seat belts point in a crash could kill you as they would compress your spine.

You could always recert the car as a kit car and state whatever tow weight you want

Easy enought to tell take the wheell off and measure. If its a pohase 2 most likly will be a 259mm disks only some early 1.2 8v have the smaller ones from memoery

Only problems are the fuel costs and the fact toll barriers are on the wrong side. O and if you drive on the tolls its going to be a bit of a boring drive and a bit pricy normal roads are cheaper but take a lot longer

Did you just turn the key constantly and not run the starter? if sso then it shoulnd't have injectoed any fuel it doesnt until the engine turns

Check they battery might be dead. Try it in the morning it might have built some power back up to start.

Yep he drop me a message just interested realy how long somehting like that takes and costs. Looking at his prices (and no insult meant its more a state of my car) but the full works would cost more than my cars worth. I'd maybe like to have mine properly cleaned one day, I wash it in the summer...

I'd recon its the thermostat judging by what you said its closed up instead of staying open hence no radiator cooling the engine and hence the high temp. Garage will be able to check see if the sensors working though the right temsp etc. But the wiring to that temp sensor has always been...

Howw much do you want to drive it? If it starts going high get it switched off ASAP. Its an easy enough and cheap enough fix I'd do it ASAP.

Temp sensor or more likly thermostat broken easy enought to do

If you don't mind me asking how long would a job like this/a clio take and at what sort of cost?

If you get truly geekty theres quite a few bits missing/different Possibly the most geeky is the 3rd rear belt isn't there. and the windscreen is different Gearbox is the same speeds but has a speedo sensor.

Air in the fuel i'd imagine

I don't know I'd get a scenic there not bad nice high driving position space for the kids sure there not quick but lifes about compromises after all.

Injectorss and pumps can be issues. I recon if they make over 80k then there ok for another 80k. Unfortunatly pumps and injectors arn't cheap. As for milage limits there isn't any I've heard of over 500k ones and that was years ago. They stick the engine in the Megan and thats heavier and...

Chnage the cracnk sensor that will be the issue. The fault codes readers are usless.

You have to remember there are suspension tolerances everyone goes on about cups being lower but for the 172 the FF could infact be lower than a cup.

Wheather you track the car or not should have no bearing on having coilovers or the type. You need good suspension which often means ££ for the job your using the car for fast road etc.

IMO if you cannot or dont want to spend a lot on suspension dont spent at all.

Ring back asking for confirmation. IF you still are unsure aask to speak to a manager etc. Usualy you get sent to thee English call center then.

Cuped vs none cuped the differenece is tiny. Dont worry

If the light doesnt come back your good to go.

For information this is definatly not a phase 1 just has phase 1 wheels.

You need realy to get the car pluged in to see what the fault is if its an airbag etc which has gone off chnaging the computer won't do anything

Ive had my 65hp for a few years and never got bored. HP doesn't make for a good car. Spend the money on what yyou want IMo moding isn't good value for money buy neither is owning a car often. Good suspension should be put on any car regardless of HP.

Suspension changes will make you handle more speed in the bends as well. IMO though don't bother touching it unless your going to spend a lot forget springs changing or cheaper coilovers spend a lot or nothing. Stock setup can do a lot.

French use a system called CV for initial road tax. This is absed on emmisions although I belive hp is also counted. Stupidly complex you just pay what they say low emmisions = cheap to buy and no road tax ever. High emmisosn expensive to buy no ongoing road tax unless its bough since Jan 2012...
