Good idea. Hope you're doing that yourself, or have very deep pockets! For a new clutch, new head gasket, and full service, it cost me £1300. :( Need to learn how to do all this stuff!

I've heard of cars juddering when a clutch isn't aligned properly, or something like that, but i'm no expert!

As above, clutch! Get it replaced. Should be fairly cheap on a 1.2. It's an absolute nightmare on the valver/williams clios.

My car cost me £1700 and my insurance was £2000 TPF&T. Soo.. £2000 of £1700= ??? :dead: lol

Be careful when locking/unlocking it as well with the central locking, you don't want the battery going flat when it's locked...

bump?

Looks nice! As said above, needs centre caps! It's certainly an old one though, how many miles has that beast done? I'd give it a good servicing before you give it abuse... Also looks like the drivers side indicator is orange whereas the other side isn't? Might just be the angle of the photo...

Here's a pic of some willy wheels that i'd like photoshopped on if possible :) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/52egdim/Picture050.jpg

Could someone please photoshop some white willy wheels onto my valver please? Feel free to do other colours as well that you think might look good! Trying to decide between 15" or 16" wheels as the 17" wheels that were on are too big! Thanks for any attempts! PS, ignore the lexus...

lol! the first one is a joke! Stick some rally bulbs in there, that'll shut him up.

Will do, thanks! I'll add that to my list, New fogs New rear wheel bearings, New anti roll bar bushes & bolt .. sigh!

What do i need to ask for from Renault? New anti roll bar bushes? Cheers for all your help, much appreciated.

Funny thing is it has just had an MOT and passed... back in May

Yeah that looks like the one. The problem is, the entire bottom section that holds it on is missing, looks like it's snapped? Would this make it difficult to change? Also, i've never noticed it causing a problem, is it risky with it not being connected? Whats the worst that could happen?

I was fixing an annoying rattle in the bottom of the engine bay yesterday which involved pulling the arch linings out from my right front arch. I noticed that theres a black bar, connecting to the bottom of where the disc bolts on to (or near there), which seems to go through some rubber...

Bet that sounds good, lol No idea i'm afraid.. Get some quotes from a garage?

I hope you keep shampoo in your car for those rainy days!

What happens when it rains??!

He certainly wasn't helped by the sunroof and windows being wide open, that would have caused no end of drag...

I get both at the same time? Pops extremely loud and kicks flames out.. ?

Another question - can it cause damage to the engine? Obvioiusly the little burbles you get won't do any harm, but my valver has a straight through system to the B/Box and if the engine is REALLY hot (ie lots of driving around the 4/5k range in a low gear), and i tap the accelerator at or...

Cheers for the advice GavFre, i'll go for 5W next time then. Can you get 5W Elf oil?

I'm guessing this is normal? Is it not burning my oil then? Smells oily...

Well obviously it helps, but the source of what makes it pop must come from the engine surely? Even when i had my cat on it still popped and spluttered just very quietly

My valver has been de-catted and is straight through to the back box, with a K-TEC s/s system (de)cat back. It pops rediculously loud sometimes just by tapping the accelerator, but the thing i like most is when the engine is cold, and you just hold your foot slightly on the accelerator as you...

Got links to the USB controller? That's all i need really to build one. I was gonna make a touchscreen car PC but realised it'd be rubbish to use for playing MP3's. Need physical buttons as well as controls for the OS. Also, how do you get the machine to shut down when you turn the ignition...

I think it's 10W 40? Whatever it said in the book at Halfords for the valver! Should i get something different?

I think i'll have to look into that. Mine's definately tappets not injector clicking. What's viscosity? :o

Hmm interesting. I've certainly not had any problems with the castrol stuff, just seems to take a while to get around the engine. It's not a big issue as it runs perfectly when its warm, just hate the tappety sound when i start her in the morning! Will try the Elf oil when i next need an oil...

I've had all of those mods on my valver but didn't make much if any difference to oil pressure. If you're having problems with oil pressure i'd get that checked out. I filled my valver up with way too much oil and it lost all its power, felt like a 1.2 going uphill. Perhaps you might have a...
