andy gdi or sean can you confirm the names of the special tools needed? thanks

O.k. thanks Sean Can you tell me what the name of the tools he need so I can go and say to him are these the tools you need have you got them and so on !!! He seems cofident he can do it, its just me being a bit anxious as I have no clue what to expect, so its just for my piece of mind

Thanks Andy GDI I asked my friend about changing it and he said he has the tools, he said he had the tools for 16v engines but he didnt mention, specific tools for a clio. So the question is, are the tools only for clios or for 16v engines in general or only for the 2.0l 16v engines in the...

I thought road tax pays for the roads, not fuel tax, not sure though, not been sarcastic just a geniune question

If you drove to 70 in 2nd gear the green light would of come on and you would of probably revved past the green light. Piss take me thinks

Thanks Sean great help eventhough havent got a clue about any of the parts. A friend of mine is doing it for me and I just wanted to know what parts I needed. So from the list there is :- Cambelt, cambelt kit, drive belt and tensioners, camshaft end caps, accessories belt and nut for exhaust...

what do I need to get for a cambelt change

I think the car will have a gear change indicator, it lights green when the gear needs changing. best thing you can do is go and try it out. theres still plenty of power after 4500 goodluck

^^^ Its not its a rip off

I got caught doing 52mph in a 30 and got 4 points and 100 pound fine

How much for a bottle(or whatever it comes in), forte gas treatment, inc delivery. A forum user mentioned it because I failed my m.o.t. on emissions and that this stuff would help. Whats it do, is it like those flush things you get at halfords?

Sorry mate, just realised that your main beam is the h4 bulb, then your full beam is h7 THe bluevision ones are good, definately shine twice the distance than OE bulbs Check out the website anyway

H7 you need not h4 Check www.powerbulbs.co.uk

Halfords got there own 5w40 fully synthetic oil, its on sale aswell so quite cheap, if your desperate. Or phone debra for 24 litres for 64 quid Havent got phone number to hand, Im sure someone else has.

Nice one, I like that Just a bit worried thats all !!!!

Like I said it was 3 years since my last car offence, so its not like I am speeding allover the place, and for your information none of the previous penalty points were for speeding. So keep your sarcy comments to yourself

This is the situation, Ive got ten points on my license already and Ive had a police notice in the door. I was doing 93mph on the motorway on boxing day. So Im assuming that Ill get the fine and 3 maybe 4 points on my license with brings me over the 12. The ten points are quite old, nearly 3...

Even worse !!!!! Im in tears

A year, you got to be joking!!!!
