There is an engine number on the V5 but it doesn't relate to the number stamped on the block from what I can tell. Blocks have F4R736 or 738 on them depending if it's 172 or 182.

No the V5 won't need to be amended.

The Gates kit is a good as OEM so no issues regards to use in the 750mc Clio 182 series. Using a 172 engine may do though.... You'd need to double check the regulations.

Eh, is what legal?

Once the tensioner is set correctly it won't need adjusting after that. Certainly last the 5 year interval.

If it's not been on for a while is it trying to download a mega Windows update? Windows 10?

9 years, good effort! The Gates kit has metal pulleys I think for that very reason.

If the Bosch one is number 0265006383 it will fit.

Yeah the 250 cold side of the turbo is a popular mod.

Maybe with 225/R26 engines, but not 250 engines.

Not many, i've only heard of 2 or 3.

Getting on for £7-10k for a 250'd Clio 200.

Try a 250 engine in a 172 lol, like Craig's on here

The ones i've seen have been reliable. The 250 engine is far superior to the previous. Shame they didn't carry on development of it with the new Mk4 Megane.

ARB drop link, what car is this? 197/200?

Save the £5k and spend it on something else. The Mk2 Megane isn't that much of an upgrade in the grand scheme and they're certainly no quicker unless you start messing with them.

£340 for a glorified wire wheel ?

Yeah 340mm discs on the MK3 Megane.

I wonder if the Megane 250 calipers would fit on these ?

Why not get your cambelt done at the same time by a reputable garage.

Yeah. If running 16" wheels and a certain size disc, no machining is needed.

Any mk2 panel should fit i'd imagine. Basically the same shell.

Don't be tight and stick him an Nvidia P6000 in ?

Ahh right, maybe i've got my price breakdown wrong. Still a few £££ to get it done by someone though.

That a brand new pump or 2nd hand? New ones were close to £200 new on their own, although i think they're NLA.

Mine was £400 ish at a specialist for a brand new pump, pulley and aux belt kit inc labour.

I just heard a pop noise earlier in the lap and didn't think anything of it, then it started going heavy-normal-heavy so i came in and saw that it had blew the seal out behind the pulley. RE tyres, when you come in from a session check the pressures before you go back out. Set them a bit lower...

Get Shaun to fit it for you, you know it's right then. Can pay on card at SW i'm sure.

Actually, his was a 6 point cage so should be cheaper.
