I live on York Close, does that count? :rasp:

I've heard good things about Archie Moss at Loughborough, i've been there a couple of times (to pick up parts for my MK1, not for warranty work), and they have been really helpful. Renault Leicester were alright for parts too, but again never had my car there for any work. Might be worth...

I've got an SE P910i, and previously owned an SE P900i. Loved them both!

Don't you know it ;)

Most of our servers here are custom built, however our main web-server is a Fujitsu Seimens beast, and we've never had a (hardware) issue with it, and have had it for years. Have had it in bits a couple of times for RAM upgrades and installing new SCSI HDD's etc, and they seem pretty well made...

Unfortunately i didn't see the number plate so i couldn't say! It was pretty low, on standard valver wheels, ClioSport sticker in the center/bottom of the rear window, thats as much as i can describe.

lol, well you can't really see her in the pic, as my camera phone is rubbish, but that's not the reason i took the pic. Just loved the valver, plus it was quite suprising to find such a young girl driving one! She must have some cash to keep that going!

Spotted you this morning, travelling down Abbey Lane towards the City Centre of Leicester, at around 8am, in a *mint* naples valver. I spied a ClioSport sticker on the back window, so wondering if you were a member on here? Never seen you around before. I gave you a pap as i passed, but i...

Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to have some new tappets fitted to an F7R engine? Mine taps like f**k and sounds like a tractor! The engine has had 275 profile cams installed by GDI, not sure if this has any bearing on the situation? I'm not too clued up about the innards of...

Why can't all insurers be as helpful as Greenlight?

My mongoose pops quite nicely at 4k and above when you tap the accelerator! Spits out flames too! :cool:

Cheers will give them a go!

May 6th! Just had a quote from Greenlight Car Insurance, all mods declared, 160BHP Williams engine, fully comp, for just £957.75! BARGAIN! Why can't i be 21? Any companies similar to Green Light that can give a similar quote for a 20 year old?

Cheers for the advice. I gave Quinn Direct a call, but to be honest they were rubbish. She took all my details and asked for all the mods, only to tell me at the end they couldn't provide a quote as it's 'Too high in performance'. I'll give HIC a try, are there any others i can call...

Do you pay more tax on a 2.0 16v engine over a 1.8 16v engine? I pay enough as it is! lol!

well if it's £1300 for a 1.2, i hate to think what they might quote for a 2.0 16v! Can anyone answer my question about whether the usual insurance companies are able to insure a car with a different engine? If i change it on the log books would they just class it as the same insurance group as...

I'm currently insured with Adrian Flux on my valver, and the policy expires on the 25th Jan. Since my gearbox went on the 1.8 16v engine i have dropped a williams engine into the valver, however it's still declared as a 1.8 16v engine on the policy. I do not want to renew my policy with...

Do i see lexus lights on the back of the 172 cup? ;)

Don't worry i'm cleaning it tomorrow! Wheels will be white once again! :cool:

Here's the valver at the moment! The mud from the front wheels is from the gravel car park i park in during the day whilst at work, so it has not been rallied around a field! Hasn't been washed for about a month, and the wheels are supposed to be white...

Just sell your 1.2 and buy a 1.8 16v clio. Much less hassle. They are cheap enough to buy now anyway.

I live in mountsorrel, so just down the road! Give us a shout if you want a hand when you're doing it! I'm not that technically minded but i watched my mate fit my williams engine so know where most bits go! I would allow yourself a good few days to get it done, don't expect to complete it...

Sami all you need to do is carry a piece of wood in your boot, just long enough to fit under a weel. Place it in front of a wheel on the side you want jacking up, and drive the car up onto the wood, and you'll then be able to get the jack under. I have to do this with mine, as it has been...

Does anyone have a picture of where the R19 mount goes? I want to fit one to mine. It has had a new top engine mount, new dogbone mount, but still rocks a bit. With regards to the bolt, you should be able to push the downpipe far enough out of the way to get the bolt out. Use a hammer/bruce...

Hi mate i'm based just 10 mins away from Leicester and i've just done the exact same thing to my valver with my mate Amir (AmirClio on here) Replaced my 1.8 16v engine with a Williams 3 engine, gearbox, ECU and loom. If you can get an engine out of a damaged williams, you can leave the loom...

Got them on my valver and love em! Definately gonna replace them with the same tyre without a doubt.

I get had every time i go to Renault, but unfortunately i needed the bits quickly so had no choice but to go there :(

Saw it again when i went out in the valver at lunchtime - it's a D reg!

Wouldn't really recommend putting it below the vent on the bonnet! That's directly above the exhaust manifold which gets VERY hot, so the problems you will have are: 1) You will be blocking some of the air from blowing down onto the manifold 2) The induction kit will be sucking in all the...

Just been down to Renault Leicester to order a gasket for the exhaust manifold and to order a rocker cover gasket. What a complete rip off it was! £23.23 for a rocker cover gasket. Isn't that just a piece of card?! £11ish for the manifold gasket. Joy..
