Nice one mate, was just a bit puzzled as all our engines in work (big diesels) have imperial square drive sump plugs. Thanks

The sump plug on my 1999 Clio 1.2 8valve appeared to be a 3/8th square drive; like on a ratchet or bar but my ratchet and 3/8th bar don't fit its slightly smaller. Where can I get the tool for sump plug from? any ideas? Thanks

Hope so man, just been bleeding the brakes but err not going well one side isn't a constant flow and the system looses pressure when i start it up :s Thinking this has something to do with the master brake cylinder

Well little update, started work on the car today. So i stripped the brakes down and it turned out to be sticky sliders so i cleaned them and greased them up. done one side gotta do the other now. Brakes sorted hopefully. I've got the bits for head gasket will start that asap. Also in the...

Thought about it, but think its too much money wasted so looks like im doing it my self x

Going to do the work when im back from Sweeden and most likely put it up for sale or keep not sure yet

Yeah i had been thinking about keeping the clio has a project but quite simply i don't have enough room. we have 3 cars on a driveway only meant for two. one of us parks down on the road so unfortunately its time for it to go. But err once i return from sweeden i'll be looking for a newer more...

Im based in northamptonshire mate, I have thought about doing it through out the day, I require a reliable car so i'm thinking sell it honestly and get not a lot for it 150 maybe * or scrap value. then buy a newer more reliable car. Its unfortunate its gone, as i had really enjoyed owning the...

Yeah i'm considering it. buying the car its not so much of a worry now that i now insurance won't bust me. But after all this i'm thinking about putting my money in to a much newer car like a 56 plate. And just keeping that for a long time if possible!

Nahh i tried a new car, which was more expensive. I'm looking in to buying something new but still a 1.2 and keeping that. The car had be really good until now. I do lots of miles bus and taxi's aren't an option when you live 20 miles away from work and start at 7 lol. and its a 1.2 8valve

well I was surprised to find out that changing the car would cost me around 200-300 pound. The cost of a new car could be too expensive though!

Well my insurance is already 2600, and at the moment i have an open case (for a scratched bumper on someones car where there claiming for whiplash. scamming t***s) so i don't know what to do, or how much they will charge on top x

So much work mate, :( head gasket will be a b**ch. i'm thinking new car but how i'm going to insure it i don't know

Nahh its not :( but im only 19. i don't know how i will be able to afford new insurance :(

Okay had my car a little while now, I now feel sick as i just took my car in for a service and check too find ..... Loosing oil from the two oil ways on the head gasket at the back of the engine, but not in to the coolant just oion is whut the back. Brake master cylinder appears to be going as...

200 for a respray? :O should be looking at alot more than that mate :/

120mm is crazy low and will take a s**t load of work not just coilys i should imagine. If you've got an 8valve which i guess you have you have a 52mm bolt spacing. so would need the vmaxx ones go to ktech If you've got a 16valve its probably a 58mm bolt spacing so you could get away with...

Get it done mate, worth every penny in my opinion. Then keep it waxed and cleaned and it should stay nice :)

True mate, same on all red cars really. But its only the top layer of lacquer so a good t-cut or machine polish usually gets it shinning from my experience :)

Paint could do with a bit of a clean up. Pay to get it machine polished? would look much better in my opinion :) good luck though

Have to admit mate, I want it slammed. Well as much as possible. Mine were 100 and had just Bern reconditioned so there like New. Now tires is the expensive bit! I'm holding off on buying coilys at the moment because of the sheer cost but payday is soon so hopefully ill be buying them within...

Sick car mate :) really liking how low you've got it there. Will keep reading :)

Cheers boys :) liking your car matt would be nice for it too go lower? Maybe I like slammed cars too much I'm not sure. It's still early days with the project so I just gotta keep at it really. Your tires look like there stretch mate ? Or is that standard size its hard to tell by the photos...

It's not a turd underneath as you put it. Well maintained and serviced since I've owned it. Done about 3500 miles in the few months I've had and its ran spot on apart from the brake caliper seizing which couldn't really be helped.

The car is well serviced running spot on. No.problems cambelt was done about 12 000 miles ago mate :) N I keep money aside for servicing the car and I usually only pay for parts as I do the work myself. Yes I did say that however I do like these wheels. I'm thinking I will probably change...

No thanks. New wheels will be painted on Friday and fitted asap. I'll have my standard wheels for sale with good tires for.sale asap. So if anyone wants them just pm and ill post pictures etc.

Small update, just bought some 172 alloys off here, will post pictures as soon as there painted and on the car. Probably will want these changed in the future though.

See i want a bit more than that i think, but finding someone to fit tires with that stretch may be hard

I'm interested if its a month or so isn't too long away :)

Just bought a set of 4 refurbed 172 alloys for my little 1.2 of danny d172 :) cheers mate, I want to put quite a low profile tyre on, and seen as im buying coilovers in the very near future i'd probably like a small amount of stretch? Any help and suggestions would be good thanks :)
