Think there all the same, my 8 year old Phase 1 is rough from cold also. What fuel are you running it on? I find V power makes mine run a little smoother

Dont discount the fact its a 1998cc Petrol unit, anything upward of 30mpg is good

I wouldn't want to be able to do 140+ in a Clio. A blow-out at anything above 100 would result in a messy end I would think. I'd rather quicker acceleration than top-end speed imo

That's a lot of cash, saying that though, I'd be looking at used 197's before parting with that kind of money:o

Taken from another thread.. (Its G4Z's car btw :rasp:) Just to confirm, 5 of the 16 hydrualic lifters are goosed, Was quite suprised to see that the cylinder head, cams, tappets, belt, tensioner, pulleys and head bolts were all brand new! Had just been serviced too as the oil was golden brown...

Just to confirm, 5 of the 16 hydrualic lifters are goosed, Was quite suprised to see that the cylinder head, cams, tappets, belt, tensioner, pulleys and head bolts were all brand new! Had just been serviced too as the oil was golden brown! Hopefully should be running in the next couple of weeks...

Me neither mate, it is kind of blind guess work at the moment until we can source what the problem is. Also we slipped the cambelt off and took the cam-shafts out to get into the lifters. It seems it might be oil related according to Gaz's cousin John who knows them inside out as he used to work...

Residual values on 172's arent somthing to consider, there over the hill as far as depreciation goes. For your budget id get a tidy phase 1. So long as its been cherished itll run until the cows come home. The important thing as said, is the belts should have been done on ALL 172's now as...

Aye its a bit of a mare as it stands, if its just the lifters we have won a watch as all itll require is a new oil pump and just build it back up. But, seeing as we stripped the top off we aswell to check for damage to the cylinders because if we build it back up and turns out to be somthing...

Not so much, apart from rippin Gaz's engine apart to locate the hydraulic lifters which seem to be knackered? Yourself squire?

Only guy i know that could fall into a barrel of tits and still come out sucking his thumb

Welcome mate. I dont understand what the issue with gear change is? Drive it like any other once shes warm (this is very important, Renault Sport Engines are dog rough from cold)

I can believe it mate, it looks mint!

Looks a different shade in every type of light!

Inferno Cup heading southbound on the M8, saw it heading North bound? Anyone?

Definatley a 9/10 on the perversion scale.

Good chance its the nut catching the shocker due to wear and tear. iirc its new top mounts you require. Very very common amongst Clios

Gaz sent me the pic of your Vee after the detail mate, stunned at how clean it is!!! Very impressed matey, looking foward to seeing it at FCS:D Good work!

Insurance companies have null and voided for less matey. This is one of the reasons im paying so much to insure my car (not suggesting for a minute the onus lies souley on you, but your contributing to the problem:o) Just tell them mate
