Maybe to warn you that you have left the key in there without starting?

As above!

Cheers lads. So you'd recommend changing the clutch at the same time? I honestly don't know how old it is

how much we talking to change over an engine ie 172 engine to 172 engine. Obviously it's a fairly straight forward swap but how much should I expect to pay or how many hours labour is reasonable?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is spending money on an old Clio!

Excellent! Mines also in the post:) Looking forward to fitting mine

Fatty induction kit? Nice and cheap, looks nice in the engine bay and apparently makes a nice sound too

As above I want to paint it and I've removed it. It's been painted previously very poorly. Where should I start removing the paint? Just paint stripper? Also fancy doing the head(underneath the inlet) however I wouldn't be removing this. May just leave it as it is. Cheers!

Not yet mate. Planning on doing it tomorrow to compare. I can't see them being that much less to be honest. Also further for myself to travel

Awesome mate:) let me know! Even a small discount would make a difference to me.

Yeah I've seen that mate. It is probably about right just loathe spending £600 on some belts!! It's crazy money but as you say it'll be a good job.

I can get ye parts for about £350. Are they likely to be less than £250 for labour? I could have someone do it for me and it would be £450 all in but then you don't have a receipt from a garage and some sort of backup should something go wrong

Lol fair enough. Looking for discount codes to get any sort of money off. Camskill is working out the cheapest with ears Motorsport not far behind

You've sold them to me mate! I'm away to order a set. If they're s**t I'll be wanting compensated haha!

Problem is I need the dephaser done and you also need an oil change aswell which hikes the price up dramatically for some reason. If they even took it to £600 I'd go for it. Some crazy pricing!! Does anyone know the owner and get me a slightly better rate?

Uniroyal 3 mate:)

Uniroyal Vredsteins

I've never heard of laquering the lights. I tend to just wax them..will this be ok?

Hey mate. Just price vs quality these seem to be the best at around £45 per tyre..unless you can recommend any others..

Yes I always start with a filter rench but had to do the screwdriver trick on a Clio trophy and r26. Think the filters had been on for a good while

It won't shear. Hammer a lon screwdriver through it so it comes out the other side then use that as a lever. I've done it a good few times and never had any issue. I'd be concerned if the filter was to shear..

As above. I need the belts done: Timing belt Dephaser Auxiliary And all that goes with it. SWR have quoted £620 for the work. Anywhere as good or does anyone have any other suggestions? SWR won't knock a penny off so that's the price

I find it crazy that you just completed the job without getting the filter off. Just hammer a thin crew driver through the thing and lever it off. Dead easy. Anyway as said you won't loose too much, will maybe need a small top up after its done

Hello folks Looking to get some 195 45 16 tyres for the 172, only need 2 for now. Cheapest seems to be Camskill however they charge for delivery. I believe including delivery they are about £96 for Toyo t1rs in this size. Anyone got any discount codes for anywhere to get them cheaper elsewhere...

I recently bought this little car for peanuts. No pictures yet but they will follow when I get some half decent ones. My plan is just to use the car, I love the colour and its already coming up nicely. I believe the car has been through the forum so someone may see the reg and post in the...

What colour is that? Can't be bothered to read all the comments lol. Never seen a 225 in that colour before

Looks awesome mate:) glad you went for it

Thanks mate. I'll try repairing the little bracket too. Any idea how much a new one is likely to be?

Lovely engine bay by the way

It's more I want to sand it back a re paint it. Slightly corroded and doesn't look too nice..
