A more linear power delivery can feel slower since there isnt such a transition. Power diffs can be made and lsot by simple things like manifold alignment at the factory. Like VTEC, the kicks there for marketing, you can switch it alot earlier and gain massive amounts of power and torque...

Why should the thermo affect the fan kick in temp?

water wetter isnt a corrosion inhibitor, it relieves the surface tension of the water increasing its heat transfer coefficient. Its not willy coolant either, its just pre mixed renault coolant which is top stuff, the regular blue mix stuffis fine but gets murky really quick with the iron...

then its your stepper motor going nuts. Its confused and trying to correct your idle speed. By resting your foot on the throttle its just following the movement of the motor. Usually a problem with the speedo sender, potentiometer, CTS or the stepper motor itself.

Its anti corrosion properties are designed with your williams in mind, its willy coolant........lower molecular weight........erm.......it has a lower surface tension.

well, if it does it with your foot on or off, then its not your cable. SPi = single point injection....... Is yours SPi?

Hes only got 2500 miles on the clock, synth would see it......nevermind, just use mineral.

what about if your not resting your foot on the throttle? and is yours SPi?

Std or low temp one is fine, both do the same job, and it has nothing to do with oil temps. pre-mixed Ren coolant is what you should be using. And do it yourself, its only a few bolts.

With the car on the ground, take the centre cap off, use a breaker bar to loosen the hub nut. Jack the car up, wheel off, undo the rod end nut (a jack putting pressure on the underside of the rod end will usually stop the tapered bar spinning), undo the bottomball joint pinch bolt, undo the 2...

I thought 182 tyres were michelins?

Because the 1.7 is w**k. Dont ask silly questions or ill give silly answers. Think along the lines of cost.

get the tracking done, the wheels tend to tow out when lowered. And typically camber isnt a bad thing, as long as its nto excessive.

Running scored or heavily worn discs with new pads reduces their lifespan by about 25-30% in the first few miles as alot of pad material is worn off so the pad matches the disc face. Brake efficiency is also poor as hell with old scored discs.

which is cheap and easy to replace anyway.

personally wouldnt do it, not a very nice engine, a GTT lump has more potential, been done more often so problems dont arise.

the bottom one doesnt have a 172 front bumper, you need the wings as it lines up with the bumper. No wings = large gap. Then youll need the side skirts.

The MOT place should of been able to tell you whilst its up in the air. Snapped cable is easy to see, and a broken mechanism just as easy.

Yup, its trail and error to get it perfect, and can me majorly annoying. Leave the nuts semi tight so you can adj it, but it wont slip when you lift the bonnet back up again, or youll get majorly pissed off. A mate can be a good help if you got one handy.

Top it up as you go along. THe large funner jobbie with flexi hose from halfords is the perfect fit and only takes 2 mins to fill the box. YOu can drive it, just check the level as you go.

Afraid none of us will be able to diagnose your problem. I know of 2 16Vs that have had the spark plug thread let go and need helicoils, both by the name of ben! hahahaha *touch wood* Care to describe the noise more, and the frequency. If a tappet fails itll still run fine, the tappet...

An ACEA certified mineral oil of 10w40, 5w40, 5w50, 15w40, 15w50 etc etc

Take mine out on track all the time, had higher corner speeds round certain corners than most cars including several R500s. Handles fine, just could do with another 75bhp.

GIrling, and you need the vented disc, not solid.

lol heres your 20 quid dood

i guess, but i doubt any clio has seen wind tunnel time

i did say i was talking about the MK1, and i have driven the MK2, just not in any half decent form of anger, so no point me commenting on it. MK2 is a fair bit better, but could do with another 45bhp. 100bhp/ltr at least!

could well be, but id err towards the marketing dept having more input on the larger one, as i see it being no more efficient at anything.

i HATE the vehicle dynamics. Harsh word yes, but i do expect alot, espcially when its pinned as the premier sports model. I dont hate the car, lovely bit of kit, but its not inspirering. sl*g me all you want, but ive spent a lovely portion of my life in competitive racing, and started...

for the lot, its a good price.
