Well Im glad youre using your loaf and having a good sniff around! As I said yesterday, you probably will find a number of things wrong after you buy an otherwise perfect car. Get an AA check on your favoured car - itll save you a ton if they find anything like gbox/diffs etc (all the things...

Could try the exhaust manifold if you get clonking/whirring noises again. I used to get it when I had two or more people in the car, then it got worse so that I had it all the time. All that was needed was a little adjustment and off I went again!

I once misguidedly used a 5w/50 oil. I had to top it up every 300 miles or less!!

Have you checked all the earths?

Thats why you should be looking after your 16v/Willy/172s!:D

Coolant is normal as far as I know in a 16-Valve. Look out for leaks from around the radiator - like the bleed screw. I had a little leak at the bleed screw and a cracked header tank, but a little Radweld and a new tank have worked wonders.

Im actually quite surprised at the lack of times Ive been pulled over, considering my car looks like a crims favourite gettaway car! ;) (Black, black wheels, leather)... But as for them giving me hassle over the phone and in e-mailos and stuff for supposedly organising cruises...uuurrrrgghhh -...

I have the privilege (sometimes dubious, granted!) of living in Wales. As Evo, Car and so on all espouse, Wales does have some very fine, clear roads. That, along with the fact that I dont know of a drag strip in Wales, is why I dont go 1/4 miles! (well, not yet anyway!). If I read the...

Oh poo!! Not even that works! Oh well, Ill return shortly...

Doh!! So sorry! Maybe itll work if you follow this link...http://www.angelfire.com/blues/benh/clios2.JPGhttp://www.angelfire.com/blues/benh/clios2.JPG

Sorry! Have just seen that you already own a Naples red 16v! So you probably already know all that!!

Agree totally - most will need some work doing. The 16v/Williams take the mileage, but Id not consider a car like these as reliable daily transport. Dont get me wrong: they rarely break down with high miles, as many of the sorts of problems that cause non-starts will be cured by now (Lambda...

Lovely car mate:D

Come on Pete!! Youve seen my 16v and you know you want one - or even a Williams! 172 will be wicked, but theres somethin a bit more old-school cool about a 16v/Willy. Megane isnt a Clio - nuff said!:D 16v/Willy will cost as much as a 172 or other newer car in the long run. Bought my Valver...

What all these cars have in common is a that they were the pretty much the best hot hatches of all their respective eras. The Golf GTi badge may have continuity, but as for critical acclaim...? Moreover, each take a different angle on each of the technology of their times - turbos...
