^^Thats standard btw

Valvers sit quite nicely as standard, though a further 40mm drop looks better but then you tend to scrape the exhaust on everything!

lol clay bar??? my car will never see a clay bar as long as it stands (which by all accounts might not be too long) think im selling it soon anyway :(

Oi you cheeky bugger I've just had it cleaned! Doesn't look that battered does it :S

Avoid like the plague, its total rubbish

Not sure on a 1.2, but you need carb cleaner, available from any motor factor!

If stock brakes were fine people wouldn't buy 4 pots would they :p I've got braided lines/new fluid/greenstuff pads at the moment, not sure if the calipers are shagged though so if I gotta change them might as well get something better!

Do i need custom brackets made up or will the 21 turbo ones fit? Also how much better are these than standard valver brakes?

^^yeah looked at those but knowing my car the engine will die at the same time :(

How do you jack it up then? mine isn't even lowered :dapprove:

Wanted to get one to carry round as the Renault scissor jack is about as useful as an inflatable dartboard, bought one from amazon and now when I tried it, it doesnt fit under the fcking car :mad: Does anyone carry a jack round incase of having to change a wheel, whats the best one to go for?

Apparently you can wedge the exhaust out the way to get the bolt in right...

About £70 for a recon from gsf

Well obv to put 52mm hubs on you'll need 52mm spaced struts... discs will be the same afaik

:eek: how much????

You *found* some 4 pots?? :eek:

What are the symtoms? Could be many things... is it turning over?

Guide: http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15481 you have to sign up but its free ;) Best place to get alternator is probably http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ about £70 for a new one/recon one.

Most likely the steering column joint, very common problem on mk1s! Not hard to change the column take your mechanic friend 30-60 minutes if he knows what he is doing! Or you can take it out and get it welded up that will stop it happening again.

Im 99% sure all their patrols do, as long as they don't send you a contractor

When this was happening with my valver it was a buggered throttle cable, i was coming off the throttle then dropping the clutch but the cable was sticking which was causing the revs to stick longer

If you're going through the hassel of changing it, might as well get a new one, otherwise you might have to do it all again in the near future?

Guide here mate: http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15481 you have to sign up but its free anyway! You don't have to touch the inlet manifold dont think?

No worries, just had to replace a pipe on my car along with the calipers so if you need any more help give me a shout!

Most motorfactors have them, look through yellow pages they're like 10p each (or like £2 from renault), problem is you'll also have to cut the brake line to get the old one off then use a flaring tool to fit the new one. You'll be looking for a 11mm male brake pipe union btw ;)

Would the calipers from a 2001 1.4 16v dynamique fit? guessing they would?

Pm'd u fred ;)

Yeah but they cost a small fortune (more than I want to spend atm anyway) merry xmas 2 u 2 mate

230 is with no motorway driving thats all round town

I've got braided lines/green stuff/new discs but i think my calipers are shafted, and obviously calipers from a mk2 are going to be in far better condition than from an old mk1 valver/williams.
