Mines the other way round a 53 plate 182, must be one of the first?

Yeah check your shocks for leaks and see if any springs have snapped. I was replacing my CV Boot clip at the weekend and found the top part of my spring had snapped off and was just hanging there but it hasn't affected handling yet.

Try fiddling with the wires under the steering column, mine sometimes doesn't disengage the immob and this normally fixes it

Yeah its addictive isn't it. I'll see what its like on a longer run before I make my mind up, cant seem to get above 28 atm :dapprove:

Has anybody noticed any MPG difference after fitting this? The reason i ask is i'm sure mine has gone down by about 5MPG after fitting the Airbox and removing the valve but i haven't been for a long enough drive yet to test fully.

I saw a nice 172 in blue with trophy wheels in Marlborough sports centre on Monday. Was looking nice and clean compared to mine!

Got mine fitted yesterday with the standard elbow and the caf running behind the passenger headlight drawing air from where the acoustic valve used to be but not down into the arch though. I'll try and get some pics up later

Compared to 182 there was alot less body roll and the noise was something else, I swear that car could go round a long corner faster than most M3's etc but the acceleration wasn't the best. The best thing though is you could drive it at 9/10ths most of the time and the car would love you for...

Nice car mate, here is my old S1 and i still miss it

Sorry to bump an old thread but i've sat in some gum and it gone onto the suede on the seats :( Apart from the above does anybody have any ideas about removing this as i dont want to c**k the seats up by attacking them with a knife.

Its only a clip mate if its cr@p i'll just get a jubliee clip!

Yeah hopefully, its not exactly a complex bit of kit but i expect you thought that with the 225! I'll report back after the weekend to let u know.

Is this the 2.8 or 3.0 V6 because the espace 3 came out in 97 and thats the 3.0?

Well i've just ordered this clip kit off ebay so hopefully it will do the job.

Hello, i've been told today that two clips have come off my CV Boot and some grease has leaked out. What i was planning to do is re-use the boots (as their fine) and just pump some more grease in and put some new clips on. Is there anything else that i need to do?

I know your's isn't a MK2 but have you tried getting through the bonnet release handle?

Excelent, what do i win? ;)

If its anything like my 106 you just need to remove the old one from the inside and you should see a hole where the stick attaches to the linkage. Then you might have to jack the car up to attach the linkage to the new stick and then just tighten the 4 bolts inside the car.

Stab a screwdriver through it and twist; should come off easy then.

Too much really, even with the low milage. You'll need £400-500 for the belts and then you're looking at around £500 less than a non accident repaired clio. So if you could get it for around £2k it would be a good deal I reckon.

Looks good man, will be good with pugsport. Do the 266mm brakes fit under those wheels or are you going to upgrade?

Its hard to tell without a pic but i'm pretty sure I cant fit my fist between the wheel and the top of the arch but mine is a 182 with the cup suspension so will be slightly lower. Have you got any pics?

Do you mean from the top of the tyre to the top of the arch or do you mean along the side of the wheel? Oh and what size wheels are they?

Thats what I was thinking, you cant really tell its an issue unless you get the bonnet up. It could just be me being paranoid but i'd just like to make sure.

Anyone got any ideas to what the sound could be? If I need to get the dephaser pully changed as well I need to let the garage know ASAP. Cheers in advance

sorry to hijack the thread but I've got a similar sound from the left hand side of the engine. I have booked the car in for a cam/aux belt change along with the tensioners on the 18th but i'm really worried about driving the car in case something goes wrong and i'm wondering if the dephaser...

Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look.... Here's mine 182ff with cup packs Wiltshire

Spotted at the magic roundabout yesterday as I was on my way to watch the footie. Looked good

The 106 Rallye forum is normally a good read if you need some info and parts, they seem a little bit more clued up than the 106 Owners Club and the 16v conversion is popular on there.

The on-cam feeling on the Rallye seems quite similar to the Clio but I had group N engine mounts on mine so when you hit 5k rpm the whole bloody thing sounded like a monster :cool: I expect the GTI is a similar feeling after new cams. Defo going to be my second car when i can afford it again.
