I'm an engineer, and I'm telling you now that is a huge mistake to make! Further to the above it's not just the belts, it's the pulleys & tensioners associated with them. If it helps you to understand the seriousness of the service, I am in the middle of a cambelt service on a trophy... with...

Yup common problem, we have done 3 or 4 rad replacements due to this very problem in the last couple of months. We replace the rad and trip the housing edge straight so that it won't reoccur.

Many congrats chaps. An inspiration - literally!!

Drop me a PM. I'll prepare a quote for you.

We use agency transmissions for ours, usually around £320.00 for the works. Brilliant service.

Extract, rebuild, refit with a new clutch whilst your at it. I would push towards a rebuild over buying another SH box as it will still have questionable reliability.

realign engine mounts, realign gear selector fork - if it still is playing up seriously then it's time for a rebuild.

As above, not viable to remove both the belts & put them back on again as it throws up a plethora of warranty problems / nevermind the simple problem of it being half arsed workmanship.

Spot on.

Agh I wanted that trailer :(

The fabled 5k kick is due to a number of factors, the primary one being the efficiency of the manifold at that specific rpm. (Resonance of gas pressure waves etc.)

The cost/work needed would far outweigh the minimal gains.

You what? Get it drained properly, a mate shouldn't charge for it as it can be reused when recharging another car.

I don't need vouchers, I have you lot :clown: M cars - yawn ;) I want to see the seats I missed out on buying!

^ Steve is certainly a good shout. We have a black 182 ex-customer car for sale at the moment, absaloutely spotless and just serviced to the hilt. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?534283-Renault-Clio-182-Metalic-black-58-000-miles-%A35-299.00

I'll be there, I'll not be impressed if it's off to the pub again.

As your in South Wales talk to Stan* on here - Also known as Craig at APD if you want the work doing.

Valves are the same. That head you have their Andy has certainly been fettled with, looks like a horrible job tbh.

The overrun maps that we developed with Henk are designed to only make their presence known above a 4.5k cut off, meaning during daily driving you will rarely activate it. The pops and bangs are generated, as already discussed, through a combination of mapping features - however it is...

As above. If you rev it lightly to around 2k does the tapping/grinding stop or does it get louder/faster?

I'll be there :)

Good turn out so far!!

Why second hand out of interest?

Have a read:

Exactly. I have to service mine, Ollie's & Dave's - so my Fridays are just a no go! ;)

This is turning into a flop people.

Or that you have a life... lol

Phew, I was concerned.

I'm sorry, you guys are going to have to clarify - are you planning on waxing & 'sealing'(!?) the exhaust, not just the tips - the actual exhaust?
