WTF Does that actually make sense to anybody?!

75w80 synthetic. The Fuchs sintofluid gear oil is quite good. See below; http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx

He haws driven the car for 91,000 miles with no cambelt? Impressive! LOL at the bodged up intake pipe.

sump gasket, crank seals perhaps? Needs further investigation, clean it all up and it will give you a better idea where the leak is coming from.

I saw your cars today Jay, nice collection :)

£700 for a full exhaust system? are you on drugs?! You could get a fully custom build and or after market system for less LOL

Depends which cat is fitted originally :)

Re: Rebuilt gearbox starting to crunch into 3rd after c.100 miles That is the way I did mine.. seemed to work spot on :)

I may come and show my sweet face!

Orbisound on the original MK2 cup racers :)

I shall be there on the Sunday

WOAH... top class skills, brilliant Dan! :D

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse A brilliant update. LOL at the steering wheel, big bang attempt!

Another thumbs up for Agency transmission services. They rebuilt my gearbox, modded the cir-clip... dropped off Monday lunch time, collected wednesday morning! They even full degreased / clean down the gearbox casing!

You can fit a Clio MK2 1.5 DCI steering rack, but that will give you different ratios

Always worth trying, but they just don't look right :(

I never noticed a difference on fuel with my 172, made 188.4bhp on 95ron fuel ;) But as said on boosted cars the fuel quality is more noticeable.. My r26 is mapped by RStuning... Vpower, Tesco 99ron etc. runs lovely but on 95ron fuel you do notice a difference.. Lumpy idle and the car just...

More hardcore Clio's... are they on drugs? Obviously climate control, FBW throttle, restrictive catalytic converters are deemed "hardcore" on Piston Heads?!?!? :S I imagine they have been flooded with thousand of complaints for that article!

LOL... "saddled with unfortunate goggle-eyed looks, and they perhaps aren't as revered as some of the later, more hardcore Clios that share the same basic body shell" Oh dear.

He was my representative... (Obviously I was the brains behind the operation ;))

Its rare I enter this section of the forum ;) But yeah.. I use SN shampoo and the SN wax

:dapprove: I am.... A gay.

I have always used Super Natural wax :)

:( Man hug? x

From what ive seen the 1*2's make better power with more miles / abuse... My pretty much standard 172 (exhaust, decat, remap, matched inlet/plenum) was 187.4BHP / 168ftlb at RStuning when it covered 88,000 miles

Used to be called BB performance tuning iirc.

Did you buy this car off HenryP? If so it's a magnex, hybrid exhaust knock up :)

meeeeeh ;)

LOL, just what I was going to say... common sense? ;) Check the pads, if they look ok... then check the brake fluid level, you may be a little low in the reservoir?!
