    Aaah failed MOT valver. Advice needed

    Ball joint is IRO £10 from GSF. I was told tehy are not available and had to get lower arm including the balljoint for £25. After getting it was advised you can get ball joint seperate but thought good idea to do whole lower arm. Fitting was about 1 hour at £30 an hour. Got steering column...

    10% Discount @ Northampton Motorsport

    Cool. Got mine done there and will do so again to check everything is spot on. Think he stores settings in the computer so can check if anything is out.

    Cambelt Kit for Valver

    Believe competition belt isn't needed and many say just get kit from Renault. IMO GSF offer same parts for much less so always go there and you get 10 per cent off as a member. Unless you are doing it yourself would go to the Renault tuners that charge IRO £130 fitted but that is without...

    I have a replacement engine (what should I change on it b4 putting it in the car?)

    Yeah gaskets and piston rings if its gonna be in pieces. Clutch has 22k but if it goes its more trouble when teh engines fitted os depeds if you want to chance it. Just do everything that costs a fortuen when engine is fitted and no rrom to work on. Then when you get fitted you should be...

    Clio 16V - What to do?

    GSF cheap for most parts, check online and things like pads and disks are easy DIY. Pipes may be trickier as unions will probably be corroded tight. If you already have a 182 then you probably will not use the Valver but if ever you decide to sell the 182, Valver will still give you grin...

    Multi directional tyre???

    I use F1s and have an eagle NCT5 for spare as can be used either side, i.e. non directional. Guess best way to find one is check the websites like blackcircles or mytyres and see if they list whether tyres are directional or not. Then go for which ever brand you want either to match others...

    the maxi bodykit

    For Mk 1? Think I did a google search ages ago and was somewhere in South Africa selling them. Colin S on here (if he still is) got one fitted but don't know where it was sourced from.

    help needed cam belt question

    Depends how competent you are. Not the nicest of jobs and a fortune at Renault. Got mine done at BBPT who charge IRO £130 plus VAT less member discount. Other Renault tuners charge the same. This is without tensioners by the way. I did not get mine changed and 38k later it hasn't failed...

    BMC CDA Induction Kit

    Did notice a good difference over the K&N, but then a K&N in summer is not the best thing to have. Apart from perhaps deeper noise which most IK's give you, all the CDA has done is give me back sealed box induction like I would have had if there was an airbox in my car. Ran 148bhp on rollers...

    BMC CDA Induction Kit

    Fitted a CDA to relace a K&N IK my car came with that just sucked in hot air. As I had no standard box it was the only option available to me, other than buying a new airbox. Replacement filter in Airbox for an ITG is supposed to b best per £ but CDA is goodif you get a proper throttle body...

    B&M, <<<Any1 interested

    Remeber some people finding reverse and another gear quite difficult with the B&M. Think some peopel have filed down part of where is goes in to make it work better. BBPT is supposed to fit better but that is in their blurb I think. And they used to sell the B&M one so if they have got...

    how many mile syou done on coilovers?

    Had FK's on for nearly 3 years so over 30k and fine. They have liftetine warranty anyway.

    B&M, <<<Any1 interested

    Yeah it is supposed to be better designed that the B&M one which some peopelsa workswell and others have problemswith if you search forprevious comments. Would rather pay £100 myself than £150 if I was looking for one of these. Less money wasted if you have problems with it.

    Changing headlight lightbulb

    You will need someone with a newer clio to help, just and unclip cover, remove wiring plug and remove a circlip on Valver then bulb pulls out. Could be more complicated on newer models.

    Changing headlight lightbulb

    What car is it? Did my valver yesterday and it took 10 mins to do both.

    Valver superchip.....

    No bitching at all. Just some people seem to think the sun shines out of certain bottoms and not others. And all persons experiences are valid but thats not always the case when some people disagree with what another says. Agree increase can be anywhere in rev range and many will have RR...

    Valver superchip.....

    Keep on sticking up for the claims then. Do you work for them? Still false advertising. Still misleading. Claims should be substantiated. So you should have to ring/write/email/visit to find out the truth and if you don't is buyer beware I guess. All I was saying is that if you expect to...

    Television buying advice needed!

    HD is too far away. You will only benefit from it when BBC etc use it so perhaps another year away. Better sets will be around then too. And cood CRT TV's can beat LCD and Plasma for picture quality. Panasonic's used to be good but alos prone to faults. Think Toshiba are also rated...

    Tracking in Midlands

    Got mine done at Northampton Motorsport, laser alignment level to within a mm and set up coilovers for use with only driver in car. They are very good but not cheap.

    B&M, <<<Any1 interested

    Or get BB's new and improved version which is (£176.25) from their website and selling for £100 on ebay providing you don't pay by card. Spot the difference: http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=74967...

    Valver superchip.....

    Shame there is no consistency. If LAD or someone else of lesser regard stated that they offered a chip giving 12 bhp increase, you would be slating them galore. Some people deem HP in high regard, others do not. I have experience and fall in the latter category from that experience. Have...

    Valver superchip.....

    False advertsing IMO as it does not state that on their website. Could say the same for many other tuners if you are supposed to assume that power increases are by combining with other mods. If you read the description, you would assume that chip would give you 10/12 bhp by fitting it. Also...

    Valver superchip.....

    I'm going for chipwizard remap in Spring for when my 2.0 goes in so BB chip for a 1.8 will be up for sale then.

    Valver superchip.....

    I got mine chipped by BB and it is the best mod I did other than the coilovers I fitted. Car does seem more drivable with it and it is not just the bhp figure you want to be concerned about. Power comes in at lower revs and limiter is higher. Works well with my Magnex inc decat and BMC CDA...

    Williams/megane clutch

    If using a Megane BE you have to use the Clio flywheel. So if the flywheel is different I assume the Clutch is also different. Just get Megane clutch from GSF.

    Oil Change

    So you can fill up with less than 5 litres and run for 6k without needing to top up. Otherwise you need more than 5 litres and certain brands don't come in 1 litre bottles or charge you a tenner per bottle for privelidge.

    Oil Change

    4got to say not sure where you can get 1 litres but it always works out better getting more than 1 5 litre container. I got 4 to last me a few changes so can probably reckon on 15 litres covering you for 2 changes and top ups over the 12k of motoring.
  29. M

    Oil Change

    Add that used by filter and difference between min and max marks on dipstick. Think you will find you need more than 5 litres. Always have on a Valver so can't imagine 182 being much different.

    Engine flush before an oil change?

    And if you ever see any get their Top End Treatment as great for Valver tappety engines.
