Nice one, keep us updated with whats going on. I've actually seen it suggested a few time on some forums but usually the suggestion is shot down.

When I first read the title I was about to reply and say don't bother as its not worth it, but as its for a bit of fun (and something I would quite like to see done) then I would say go for it. Ask over on retro-renault.co.uk and chris_h over there will basically be able to tell you about...

Do a search - its been covered loads, though usually about 1.4's being converted but the same applies tbh.

As well getting the water pump done at the same time as suggested but I personally wouldn't bother with any uprated kit - no need for it imo. Have you got somewhere to do the belt change for you or are you doing it yourself? If not you could try stan who is somewhere in wales (north iirc) who...

They do all have power steering as far as I'm aware, I'm not 100% sure on that - but all valvers had power steering and therefor I would guess all the williams did as well.

looks in good condition. Its not lowered as much as 55mm at the front though, looks the same as my old one was on 35mm springs.

Yeah the white hybrid was mine, I was on my way to work and in a bit of a hurry hence the cheeky wee manoeuvre on the roundabout, lol. I thought it may have been you in the exc 172 as I remember speaking to you on here ages ago, the car looked awesome!!!

What is the plate on that one, I think there is a guy on WC with a personalised plate that lives in Edinburgh. Theres another williams 3 that I see parked up loads but have never seen it out and about, its on a sidestreet off the lanark road just a bit past kingsknowe golf course if you're...

Yeah definately sounds about right then. I thought it was him but as I said in the first post the fact I didn't know the car meant I wasn't totally sure.

ah, that would probably make sense then - think it had 172 alloys on it as well iirc

Btw, was it you I spotted at hermi gait about a week ago? having a spy at my hybrid, lol. I put a spotted up at the time HERE

I know what you are saying but theres no need to remove it , I would do oil changes at £20 all day long, lol. I know it can be a bit of a pain getting to the filter but it still shouldn't take long.

lol, I can imagine the replacement part must be fairly expensive or can you just replace individual elfs one at a time? ;) I don't know exactly how it works but as far as I'm aware there is a sensor on the pedal end which will measure how far the pedal has been depressed and that info will be...

usually one litre is the smallest. Is the £20 labour just to change the oil? if so thats not really cheap if you have to buy the bit for the sump plug and supply the oil.

If you are putting in buckets I would definately use harnesses. I'm going to get some soon myself. The thing is that you can crash just as badly on the raod as you would on a track so I wouldn't say its necessarily overkill. I've seen a few people on here and other forums say they would have...

pretty mucxh as edde says, you could run the 1.8 RT fuel pump but it wouldn't be advisable and I believe it would sturggle to provide correct fuelling in the upper rev range. Its pretty straighforward to change though on most of them, though I believe on some earlier ones you need to drop the...

I would imagine it would be the same if they are both energy engines (up to N-reg iirc). There were two different setups on inlet/injection though i believe (both were used on the 1.2 and 1.4 pretty much at random iirc) but I'm not sure if they are interchangable or if the loom is the same for...

PM samg1988, he has some brand new shocks for sale which would deal with the drop fine and he also has some 35mm springs.

You would be as well getting an F7R block as there would be a lot of work in changing the F7P block to accept it all. The F7R has both a longer stroke and a larger bore than an F7P. Also the conrods for both engines are the same anyway.

F7R? :evil: I really shouldn't but I can't wait to see what this is all about and the possible gains to be had.

If you are not doing it yourself I wouldn't take it to renault as they will charge you over the odds. Just get the part from renault and supply whoever changes it for you with the cable from renault. Ideally I would also try and make sure you take it to somewhere that knows these cars as a lot...

as everyone else said you won't fail for that.

Yeah it was quite a while ago that they did the shoot iirc. Such an awesome car though.

I think it was Djw Dave I saw yesterday at hermiston gait. I was in the white 16v you were looking at if it was you (my new hybrid). I wasn't totally sure if it was you though as I've not seen/heard you mention that green clio before, lol.

as I say the offer is there, if you want me to do it just give me a bell sometime.

bring it round to me if you want and I'll do it for you. It seemed to be OK after I had done as it had to come off when I did the timing belt (it was one of the belts I renewed) but might just need adjusting a bit. I think it'll be the alternator belt out of the two possible ones. Its up to...

That stone chip has been there since I bought it btw sam. I've been through 2 mot's with it since then and not had a problem and it never got any worse, so its not a major problem for MOT time or anything if you were worried about that.

Try turning the ignition on/off several times before you try and start it, giving it a few seconds with the ignition on each time. If it then starts I would imagine it would support what the post above mine suggests.

sounds like it could be misfiring from what you said. Try taking each HT lead off one at a time, if you take one off and it makes no difference to how the engine runs then you will know thats the cylinder thats misfiring.

19 16v's are usually a few groups higher than clio 16v's as well.
