    When is an escort not an escort?

    They do. This was a Tuscan Challenge chassis. Pretty different beast, IIRC.

    Love Mk2's. Epic. Weight?

    So much want... Z4 AC Schnitzer model!!!!

    In some of the photos it has black wheels and in others they're silver?

    Front end refresh checklist, any ideas?

    ^ Why change the rods unless they're damaged? I'd suggest just doing the TRE's first (easy and cheap job) and seeing how the OP gets on. Motaquip ball joints (very good, IME) are about £10-12 each from eBay and are really easy to fit. The newest Powerflex wishbone bushes don't need welding in...

    Wishbone bolts...

    Mine are a bit corroded and in the spirit of refreshing my 172 and keeping it perfect and serviceable, I want to replace them. bolt - 7703002700 - £7.01 x4 (£28.04) washer - 7703053987 - £1.78 x4 (£7.12) locking nut - 7703032158 - 94p x4 (£3.76) nut - 7703034248 - £2.32 x2 (£4.64) £43.56 + VAT...

    Front seat lowering - who's tried 'proper' mods?

    ^ The carpet, when compressed, can't be more than 3mm - surely? Doubt you'd notice it?

    Clio leaking

    Seals all ok? Has someone tried to break in and bent the top of the door? Try bending it back so the seals work again?

    My stealth bomber

    Looks good (except for the strap - makes it look like its tongue is sticking out!).

    Standard 172 exhaust system

    Try GSF, Unipart or Euro Car Parts. Failing that, get a used one from RenParts, a trader on here. The Ktec should fetch 150-200 quid.

    project laguna coupe

    Stickers and blue nonsense devalue what was shaping up to be a really left-field, classy-looking, head-turner. Shame.

    182 with spare wheel (Plymouth)

    ^ Only someone that gets a puncture that's too big for tyre foam to fill? "But I can just call the AA/ RAC!" If a car left the factory with a spare, they can refuse to help because the owner has been a dumbass and removed the spare, effectively kicking oneself in the head. Just a thought.

    Leather Recaro's. Comes with free Paxo

    Horrific! :dead: Gash seats too...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Thanks for that Steve! Reason for me testing the water was that I was offered a once-in-a-lifetime deal on a friend's S3 (A5) so I wanted to know what the Clio was worth, now I've got it bob-on. Just had a call and it looks like his wife's just killed off any potential deal, though. Grrrr.

    Can you link to the one you use? It seems there are about 50 different types!!

    Change of plans...

    What's the issue with the ABS? Are the symptoms that it's kicking in at low-speed? If it is, you could have a split outer CV gaiter that's spraying grease on the toothed ABS ring (reluctor ring) AND/ OR the ring itself may have failed and cracked. Either way, drop me a PM if you need help and...

    What to do with Clio. Sell, break?

    As it's a 55 plate, it still has a fair value. If you've not got any interest in restoring it to a condition that you'd be proud of, I'd sell it, but for the price of a couple of stamps, I'd get the book stamped & increase your potential audience. Breaking it (and the wait while it's picked to...

    RB, too good to turbo?

    It's a Clio. Do it! FLOL @ too good! Though, if it were me, I'd rather sell & put the money towards a better car - resale value FTW.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Just testing the water and seeing what my 2003 '03' Iceberg 172 would fetch: First registered in May 2003 <63k miles 4 months MOT 4 months Tax FSH Belts done 3 years/ <20k ago. Just had a full service that included: - Fuchs Titan ProS (Arguably the finest fully-synth you can buy) and a...

    Which gearbox fluid Do You use?

    Drain plug is on the bottom of the 'box, next to the selector arm. Fill hole is a black butterfly nut, under the airbox on the front of the 'box.

    Undersealing

    Think that's like 'Kurust' that treats tin worm. I Think this is the stuff you want? Maybe.

    Phase 1 VS Phase 2... GO!

    Phase 2. The interior of a Phase 1 is like walking into a house that hasn't been updated since the 80's - If pressed, the best I can say about it is the gear-knob looks good.
