    Should I buy a Clio sport for a daily ?

    maybe I'm just getting old but I cant think of anything worse than daily driving a mk2 Clio. I daily drove a mk3 for a year at the time about 40 miles a day and it was spot on, night and day over my mk2's MK4 was the best daily I've had but over budget and no manual as you say

    Stunning, really like that. Plates ruin it imo though

    Sounds possible, there is a gearbox guru on here but his name escapes me

    Clio Williams gearbox

    My understanding is a jc5 does fit but you would need a ph1 172 or 172 cup one with the Speedo drive?

    1.5 dci no start.

    very vague description so it could be 1 million things but ill take a stab in the dark at the most common and say its a fucked injector or 2 or 3 or 4 and that's why its not starting as the rail isn't seeing enough pressure to fire. chances are if an injector or 2 is on the way out the pump...

    Clio 200 g’box query

    usually will present its self shifting to 3rd and 4th first, change into 3rd at 7400rpm or what ever the beep is it and you will feel it crunch if its on its way out

    going back a while now but Admiral insured me at 17 on my first one, it wasn't cheap but it was a lot cheaper than elsewhere

    When is it time to call it a day?

    Keep it as a toy, I couldn't be bothered driving one daily but as a toy they are hard to beat

    Rare Sight?

    agree, but you always hit that peak where it peaks then starts to go down hill, just shows if well serviced that's probably not until at least after 150-170k!

    Rare Sight?

    181 next time id say. While there will always be variances in RR's, running on the same rollers at the same place is as close as your going to get to keeping it accurate and getting to measure your results of your work! Looks like a strong engine that one, good given the miles just shows that...

    Alternator Work Around ITBs

    I went down the PMS kit to remove my AC/PAS and relocate alternator, looks a nice piece of kit and the belt setup is so simple with plenty room and weight saved

    172 phase 1 High Level Brake light

    Black as pictured is the correct one. Cup spoiler cars had a red one and non sports that didn't get the spoiler were red

    New owner of a V6.

    I didn't realise they were so closely related to a normal mk2, did they just take a mk2 body shell and modify it rather than a specific shell?

    George, but if its too expensive go for the Titan

    Kangoo DCi engines

    Last time I came across that it was a faulty injector leaking pressure and wouldn't fire as the fuel pressure sensor wasn't seing enough pressure
