How much is a new water pump fitted?

NO, IMO. And i agree with Riplash, the double skinned subframe, i have been told, is more to do with other factors than rigidity on cornering. But i am not a mechanic so im only stating what ive been told by experts.

Renault spent alot of cash on the Williams (millions / hundreds of thousands?), not on the parts, but testing them. Thet did hundreds of hours of tyre evaluation, which is one reason i can never understand someone who fits anything but the Michelin Pilots to their Williams if handling is...

Its not that the R19 parts are very good, just that the Williams uses them very well and is very well set up. Trust me, ive just been driven in one of the best example of a Williams left, on some of the greatest roads in Britain, flat out, wheels up, by a trained racing driver. Yes i was scared...

I noticed that my water temp guage rises and falls slowly even if the car is stationary. It cycles like this constantly.

I dont know. Yeah it is running a little hot. I want to sort it before the summer. Where can i buy redline water wetter or the millers stuff from. I dont want to wait mail order, i need it NOW.

Right now ive almost finished the suspension on 200 im starting to get obsessive about the coolant system. All temps below are at 70-80 cruising speed in this temperature (5 oC) 0002 water temp is normally at 1/4. 0002 oil temp is normally at just below 100 200 water temp is normally between...

:@ Well if your going to put 17s on buy a Williams 2 or 3 then. Dont ruin an original. Pleeeeease.

Congratualtions on buying a great copy of the best hot hatch ever made (the Williams 1). ;) Whats the mechanical side of things like? Any problems? What needs doing to it?

WHAT? Why oh why do you want to put 17 inch wheels on a Williams and ruin the looks, the hanlding and the speed? Dont you think the standard wheels look good enough? One of the defining points about owning a Williams is those gold alloys. Changing them goes beyond ruining the handling and...

Not selling but just wondering what people thought my Williams was worth. Its number 0200. 126k miles. Original condition. L reg. No rust on arches. Fully restored handling with brand new brakes. Brand new tyres. Cam belt done recently. Body work is a bit tatty, a few minor dents and scratches...

Is there a coolant i can put in my williams to help it run a bit cooler? If so what and where do i get it?

Drove both of my Williams over the past couple of days. 0002 runs cooler than 0200 on both water and oil temp. What are my list of jobs / replacement parts i will need to get 200 running normally? The clloant on 0200 has been flushed about 800 miles ago and is blue, not brown. ANy cheap things i...

As the experts say, Renault did all the testing on the Michelin Pilots they recommend. If handling is important, stick to them. Yes they are expensive, but they are the best choice.

That sound we were talking about when you back off from accelerating in the Williams, i have it too (a whining sound like a kids pullback toy car being let off). Riplashs Williams has it too. Apparently it might be the heater matirx. Remember i said that my Silvia had the same noise, well it was...

There has been alot of attention recently on the 182 and many people are starting to claim that thanks to a certain infamous magazine review, the title "Best Hot Hatch Ever" has been taken from the Williams and given to the 182. However i have some information that alot of Williams owners may...

Just been looking at the original sale receipt for my Clio Williams @ £14,000 in 1994. Anyone know what this would be in todays money? Must be around £17,000 to £20,000? I dont know what inflation has been for the last 10 years.

What would be rought labout cost / time for taking off my standard exhaust and fitting SS to my williams?

A broken spring could cause a pull to the left ,but if the car tram lines then i doubt its anything like a spring. I may be wrong, but for it to tramline, something has to be loose and the wheels need to steer themselves. Need to look at control rods, rack, column, and anything else that might...

They are all franchises (chipsaway), so technically all independent businesses running under the name chipsaway. Some owners are bound to be better than others. I have heard good and bad, so the key is to kind one that is good, and stick with them.

Would a bit of metal polish be ok to brink up a second hand stainless exhaust? (ie more shiney). Also i have a second hand scorpion and the back box when you roll there is a little bit of something loose inside (sounds like a very small stone would). Is this normal / expected /will it function...

No thanks, ive went before i came out. ;)

That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

My car is currently in a garage and the garage said the sump has a crack in it. However, I have been told by a reliable source that Williams sumps can have casting marks on them that look like fine cracks. The oil isnt leaking. I trust my source implicitely, but he hasnt actually seem my sump...

Yep ive just welded mine. Fantastic

Spotless clio williams wheels with new michelin pilots? ;)
