Exactly fella - Im well into the 100k's now and the engine is as strong as the day it was built (owned car from new) infact the whole car is not just the engine!
Probably hasnt got a history with it being cheap and a vague add
If someone can afford to own and run Sports Clio they shouldnt even think twice about spending a lousy 40 to 50 quid on something so basic and important
Yeah the V6 dosent look bad till you check out the rear wheel offset, the sun roof and the lack of engine in the rear :clown:
Folk slagging a Dimma? Youth of today tut tut ...
Might be worth contacting trading standards as youve been blatantly ripped off here.
You could get a quote from Renault to see what they charge for it and compare but as the lad above has said, they would probably do this when doing the belt change so either way its looking like youve been...
But the main point of track tyres is to be used on a track. For normal or slighlty above normal road use youd have to be giving it serious stick to be anywhere near track day abuse levels and stresses hence why imo factory levels are fine for road use
I thought for road use you should always set your tyre pressures when the tyres are completly cold not warm :S
Dont really buy this running lower psi than factory bizz. Ok for track use but its just going to effect mpg and would have thought Reno have done testing on back roads and found the...
I thought about this area of the intake system too.
Sure diabas made a inlet for the 172's but wasnt it stupid ££££ ?
Ben R is / was developing something i belive but not sure where he's at with it or if its still going to be done
From what i posted up in a previous topic, sure there was...
You might be right. Just read the lad has a 182, im quoting a 172 lol
Either way, 3 PSI wont make that much of a difference, certainly not in the case of this topic.
Theres a gromit sticking up so no chance of the gasket moving about plus when you put the screws in it holds it in place as the gasket has pre drilled holes
No you'll need the appropriate size spark plug socket head remover. Think its a 10mm from memory
As long as no one turns the ignition...
Renualt also told me my axle bushes needed replacing at a routine service, this was at 70 thousand miles. 30 thou later iv still got them on and there's bugger all wrong with them, i checked !!
It is meant to be one of those things that wears on a Clio but for you sitting on 25 thousand miles...
A tyre fitter months back told me 'ideally' you shouldnt run tyres that are, sure he said, 5 years old, all tyres are date stamped.
Im going to be running the spare alloy that came with the ph1 172 soon and this has the factory fitted Mich Pilot SX tyre on. Tyre is in perfect condition...
Well it turned out the ones on my car were just a case of pulling off as the clips hadnt been put back on after tuning a few years back :eek:
Were still held in solid so didnt cause any probs.
I have another question, bit geeky.
Took a spare set of injectors in to be cleaned as i...
Has there actually been any though??
I know a lot of folk have questioned certain areas but has anyone ever blown one up yet, probs with the weak box etc ?
Thats not quite true. Ive got loads of performance parts that are a vast improvment on stock, exhaust as youve mentioned included.
Just in the case of spark plugs and leads, stock has be found to be best
Anyone know why they used Iceberg on the last batch of Ph1's ??
Take it, it was to overlap with production of the ph2 in that colour??
I have a Iceberg ph1 but would have probably chosen the titanium if the option was there when i bought it
