Never had a problem with mine :D

As far as i am aware the engines in diffrent phases are the same. As for being dodgy going into 2nd and reverse thin thats jus a common thing ith the f7 gearbox, mine does it aswell.

Similar lines, how much oil do you need to put in? Have a valver and has a 3.4 litre capacity does that mean i need to put in 3.4L?

Got free tickets and VIP pass from work but cant afford the petrol to get down there :( Was lookng foreward to a good day.

Just make sure you get the new Tom Tom GB and not the old one cos most places have the old one at 200 quid whereas we have the new one at that price.

Work for Halfords. Navsure are sh1t. Most use the old medion software. Get a tom tome 1 gb. £199.99. new gen software as cheap as a v1. (Get it quick cos we cant keep em in stock! lol.) PS only Hlfords have them in atm.

Thing is on a valver u either need the engine out or get it on a lift 2 move the gear box. just not got that kinda resource. Do all other work myslef, wunt be able to afford a valver otherwise.

Guy who had it before me reconed he had a gear box recon 1k ago. dont think thats allighned proply. (wont go in reverse etc) genrally shoddy worksmanship think ime gonna get it all riped out, new clutch and reffited....... properly. lol

Tell me about it, remove engine?! criky reno dont do things by half.... Gud job i love my valver!

Sounds like clutch is going m8. join the club. not cheap 2 get replaced :(

Whilst driving if I try to put any sort of power down too quickly my car judders (like a learner in tescos carpark!) Have been told its my clutch on its way out. havent felt it slipping in the usual way (revsbut no speed) Just wondering if this is what it is or something else cos the labour is...

Oooooof! chuffin ell! Think ile get startin to save the pennies then! lol. not happy cos my front passanger side wheel bearing just started humming aswell. Best stop thrashing it. lol.

Anyone know how much a garage would charge to change te clutch on an f7? Do all my maintenance myself but i think this is beyond me. lol. Have been told would be looking at the best part of £250 just for labour.

Think mines goin on my valver aswell. anyone know about how much it is to get one replaced (just labour) cos you have to have the hole engine out i think?!

Has to be four. NO contest!

HALO 3!!!! gotta be! and the new Zelda games. and when o when are they going to bring out a clio racing game?! closest thing so far is NFS most wanted. completed that in clio! lol.

Sounds stupid but first thing to check is wheel nuts are tight. We get no end of people with this problem @ work and thats all it is. Other than that umm....... Anyone else?! lol.

leave it as it is! The only way to properly secure it there is with brackets from B+Q. Looks sh1te. Max power do it in their book and recoon u cant tell but u can! Mind you i always think mk1s look best standard anyway just with a few tweeks (lowering aftermarket alloys tints etc.) Car looks...

Looks mint. Multispokes almost always make a mk1 look cool (here they deffo do). Was thinking of getting angel eyes, they really not that good? what rear clusters u got or have you just sprayed your old 1s? If so how did u do it?

The stuff in halfords is good but if you're doin a lot ure going to be looking for fibreglass and resin jus because the filler only comes in poxy little tubs and is well expensive. Try to steer clear of the P38/P40 as well. Have used the loctite filler, if quite good and easy to use but again...

cool well if weve not got one ile jus get on the store ordering system and tell them we are getting one. Do enough for them for penuts! nuff sed lol.

Cool cheers guys. Will have a look next time I am at work see if i can pick up a gun on the cheap. Think de la trade card might be making yet another apearance. lol.

Finding the same trouble finding spanner. Everyone does 20mm and 22mm but not 21 :mad:. Where you find an impact wrench for a tenner?! Might go out in a mo with the old mole grips. :D Cheers for all the help guys.

Bought mine for that exact reason. Theres loads of mk1s around but when people see a valver they second guess it. I love that feeling of just burning down the road with a bit of metal on full blast. practically made all of the local chavs crash the 1st time i took it out for a spin because they...

Hmmmm.... mole grips?! Have been looking for a swan neck or deep offset spanner. The Fuds dosent do them, neither does Allwoods or Toolsure or part co..... Am pullin my hair out, mechanic recons they want goin on 100 squid to do it, not even an hours work! Howcan they sleep at night...

Just insured my new valver. am 18 have been driving a year and my lowest quote was £2400. The car only cost me £450! Apparently also my quote was also bumped up because the car is black?! Whats that all about?!

think I know what you mean, we do em @ halfrauds in the ratchet range, might "borrow" one from the shelf to see if it works before buying it. lol Any other suggestions?

Having toruble finding a spanner/tool that can get to my suspension top nuts whilst leaving room for an alen key in the dampner rod. Anyone changed their own suspension or know of a solution. Need to get under there to change my top mount and bearing for MOT (due bout 1 month ago!). Thanks for...

Hi, just got me a valver as a "project" needed new top mounts and bearing so i though might as well just chuck some lowering springs under there. Only thing is how the hell do you get the top nut off? Is M21 but cant find a spanner that can get to it anywhere. Anyone else encountered this...
