lol, ye. it took me yonks to find this valver! although i only saw one dog to be honest. Just had to check autotrader every morning for anything to snap up. the bloke who put that valver must've got the quickest sale ever from me! I reckon from him placing the add to the car being sold was...

not too bad.
have replaced alternator, battery and road springs. (approx £800)
So not too bad. Had it for over a year and added 10k to take it up to 85k miles. Most of the problems came after a long period of not being driven. Due to uni, valver didn't like that very much! thats when the...
im with adrian flux who rate the valver as an insurance group 15 but every other car they've quoted me for have been the same ins gp as parkers.co.uk.
So assuming they rek williams is ins grp.17 wot u rek?
il be 21 in october and have 3yrs no claims and live in a low crime zone. Been driving...
morning,
Just doing some little bits of valver maintenance, disi cap being one. Is there any clever way of getting the rotor arm off? mine wont budge!! i've tried easing it with a flat screwdriver but that just chips it. I've tried gettin my fingers behind it and just tugging but it won't...
are these ones any good:
or should i stick to k-tec? rather not spend the extra cash unless gonna be a significant difference between the k-tec and this one...
sweet, thanks.
is there much of an exhaust noise difference? because i don't want there to be! i want the engine to sound loud, not the exhaust. BUT i can't be arsed to spend the extra on a silenced one. is a non silenced one much louder than a silenced one?
are the benefits of a de-cat significant with a valver?
few of my mates are startin to get cars that are younger but not quite as powerful as valver but they're keeping up (kind of) and im not too pleased with it. She is 12 though!
how many bhp's (if any) increase.
thanks muchly

in 2 weeks time il be in Caterham, Surrey and then mid september onwards il be back up north in Sheffield (pretty much town centre of)
Im not sure if im definately selling it yet though cos i want a bora v5 and need to come up with the rest of the cash first. Otherwise im well bolloxd with no...
a friend has commented on my valver sounding like the beema M3 CSL (i think its CSL anyway) from a distance. He drives a new A3 TDI sport and seriously regrets not getting petrol every time he steps into the valver. heh heh.
i might be selling mine at some point. Its in pretty much perfect condition with about 9months MOT and 10months tax on it (at the moment). Has only done 84,000. its a ph.2 M-reg in williams blue. No mods, completely standard. Id be looking around the £1700 mark i reckon. Not many like mine...
lol ^^^ agree
problems normally lie outside the engine though. engine is pretty decent reliability wise.
i've only had problems with gettin the bastid started, due to power problems.
i.e. alternator and battery. otherwise its been fine
(allowing for normal wear and tear, i.e...
to All owners of standard 172's and 182's.
do you wish your car's sounded a bit more like the valver's, willies and pug gti's of the world?
not intending to cause offence as i know that if i tried to race one of you guys off the line id get dicked and have I full respect for that.
they...
how the b****cks are you getting that fuel efficiency?!?!?!?!?! i drove valver like a granny, literally not going above 3,000 rpm with a full tank of optimax and managed something shite like 29mpg.
Im just gonna floor it in 3rd from now on and turn the engine off when im at 90 and let it roll...
