Mine was just under 3k. Its mint but with 80k miles (only two owners), from a dealer with some warranty. Plus its a 53 plate so has cruise and ESP. I hunted for months with a budget of 3k and i disagree with the above, its not easy to find one for that price thats mint, but they are out there...

Torque to weight ratio is more important for everyday road driving! As above with regard to handling and braking though. Also all those with heavy alloys on the end of their hubs need to worry about unsprung weight! and watch out for missing spiggot rings!!!

31 - ph2 172 But also had an Audi S3, BMW E46 M3, Civic Type R, and two RS Turbos

Mine did this today too, even though it was cleaned by the garage on friday. I switched it off then on and it didn't do it again the rest of the journey. Wierd!

Can you see it from above then or do you need to be underneath?

3-3.5k for a cup at the moment, no more!

As above can't be a 182 as they didn't come out until 04 plate and ALL have twin exhausts. Sounds dodgy if he selling as a 182!

No way! Sounds like a complete shed to me. Very dodgy registering it as a 1.2. What else are they hiding?

Hmm, an evo with high miles is abit scary!! Like all, if its got good service then high miles isn't an issue. Likelyhood of suspension and clutches to be on there last legs is higher though

Looks an ok car for the money. Good mileage but i bet it has no history and no belt change (there are due at 72k) I bet you could get it for 2k given this The filter, exhaust and clutch would put me off though but i do nearly 500 miles a week and wanted a standard one!

Its most likely to be th edogbone mount underneath. Having mine changed this week also. I ordered the powerflex one form KAM racing. £34 delivered. Apparently quite easy to fit. I looked under the car at this mount with engine running and its obvious how much engine movement this one controls...

Have you got a pic?

Any joy with it? I'd have said Lambda problem since you've been messing in that area.

Lambda throttle body or spark plug/coil pack - most common these days on most cars!

As well as the above ball joints/bushes isn't there a common fault with power steering pipes (return pipe blocking)?

Did it bring up any warning lights? Electical fault for instance?

You can't help some people eh!! Mine is currently back with the garage that sold it to have a similar problem fixed, on a phase 2 though...Any difference to the above method? (apart from the butterflies are obviously controlled by wire)

I go for ph1. Williams are great classic cars but too old and fragile for thrashing around everyday, more of a weekend toy

Cheers for the tips, mine is going back for warranty work (engine lights now on and poor running!) so seeing if i can get the garage to do it as well as this

Mine too has cruise and limiter and has this click My other one was a 2002 model without cruise etc and had no clicky bit at the end of pedal travel, so maybe non cruise models dont have it

I'll be doing this soon when my parts arrive from KAM. So its best to jack under the engine? I have access to an inspection pit which helped me diagnose my knocking noise (manifold on subframe) but it would be alot easier if i didn't jack engine! Might take some pics for mini guide if i get...

Sounds like it could work then!! Worth a try for sure.

Yeh thats not too bad then if you have the contacts and can get it for 3k. I doubt he'll knock £800 off though but worth a try! HPI didn't pick up on the one i nearly ended up with that had a bent rear axle!!

Sounds like an excuse to test drive some newer renaultsports!

Apparently a few of them had optional AC!

I was the same. I don't agree with paying until you've bought one, now i got one, i'm all paid up! Some useful stuff: http://www.strikeengine.com/renault_clio/buying_guide.html http://www.jamesmunday.net/blog/2008/01/18/renaultsport-clio-172182-buyers-guide/ Main issues are: Engine...

Cruise is useful though! Funny that those who don't have it hate it!!

I know its low miles but it sounds like lots needs doing - I'd look for another. As for tracking, if its rear tracking then its NOT adjustable so be careful, if its had a rear end bump it'll need a new rear axle! One key is worrying too. They're over £100 to sort. You'll be spending a grand...

Anyone know a place in the midlands that can supply and fit these bushes? I'm getting the knocking in 1st/2nd gear under hard accelleration. From what i've read i'm guessing dog bone mount but not sure i fancy fitting it myself

Surely if timing was out you'd notice it throughout the rev range?
