Don't pay someone to do it DIY the job is a better idea £1k for Matt for the bits you should have the hubs and brakes and bits you need so get some money back or keep the bits as spare. Then idealy chnage the clutch anc cambelt get someoen to do it its not going to take more than an hour to do...

£8k maybe so 305 off for catagory damage say £5.6k You need a new rear panel and door so that say £200 (you can use phase 1 stuff) unless your using it as a track car in which case kick the damage out then £30 for the rubbing side bit at the back Second hand bonnet £50 New wing (might as...

Yep phase 2's more difficult. You need the ECU plus they are always more broken new throttle bodies etc and UCH/ECU. I could do it yep but nope. Fitment do it yourself get others to help dependding what you get its not that difficult best find a garage with a 4 post lift as it makes it...

Stock one is fine why do you think its on its last legs?

Since its ilegal to run twin engne on the road V5/MOT/road fund/VOSA is easy as they only test one engine cannot tell them you run both. Insurance hummm have to say its a test car and they should understand its a demo/test car and issure as a modified 1.8 etc Haveba look round for cheap...

Gear linakges are easy dead easy way is to weld a metal bar to the normal front one and link it to the rear gearbox dead easy that real. After all the gearbox doesn't know if the gearbox is being pulled or pushed into place. Get a vlaver cheap £350 or so max then another without a MOT etc for...

For cheapness on most care per Hp gain there the best yep. Were talking about diesels which are a different kettle of fish diesel arn't like petrol no need to start looking at induction kits etc unless your running dark smoke.

Yep forget blow torce if you've not got one. Just clean it as other have said and give it death.

Yep compensator is the thingie on the rear axle which adjusts the brake pressure to the rear wheels depending on the height of the rear axle. No need for a new axle you problem might just be the adjjuster need adjsuting to allow the rear more pressure I take it the cars lowered if fo then...

Nope blow torch etc but be careful.

Yep forget it. Best idea use a universal induction kit if you realy want.

Engine to the back is boring get a bigger engine for starters no point otherwise its to easy might as well; just drive in reverse. Almost all phase 2's none RS's (some early one don't) have the electric rack With the ABS telling the stearing the speed it can adjust the assiatnce so at high...

Can be a number of things, top mount catching driveshafts, differential. springs in seats.

Yep that was abot right on a group buy of 10 people I think. Expensive but the best realy.

Heat the metal up arounf it heating the bolt makes it expans so a tighter fit.

Yep engine can stay in.

Yep you could I'm writing a guide at the moment to 172 transpalnt and the wiring digrams there the ABS system assuming you use the none ESP one ie dead easy to use also you can use it to power the speedo if your using a gearbox which doesn't have a speedo output can also use it tell an electric...

Get a Volvo and Clio Haynes manaul.

Theres a trophy dedicated site I forget the address best ask there for owners views as there more on there. I woulnd't get one personally as I think the ride to hard plus if you do a load of miles it will affect the value a lot if you only a do a few you shoulnd't loose much.

Re: Can we have?? AliasOmega thats clean you can see the number plane and you can tell what colour you car is. Try harder I'll try get pics of mine some time.

Two bolt 10m bolt behind the arch liners on both sides. Then there 2 thorx bolts you can see when you open the boot. There 2 10mm under the back. Thsts it just then pull it towards you outwards and it will unclip. PM me your email address if you want the file.

Front pads FDB846 £17.99 from Halofrds (se if anyone you know is in the trade and will get them cheaper form there or try GSF etc you can get the same fitment pads as low as £12. You need to see why the brakes binding might be as simple as the sliders needed greesing up most likly so that about...

Yep fine. Seem expensive since stock are fine.

I'm thick I need idiot proofed instructions.

There a twin engien Willaims been done before now. Not to difficult to do its only for uniqness wouldn't handle well a FWD is much better. Someone was trying it last year with a V8 power but I think as with so many projects it got left. Any car would be fine Renault basicallty did this...

Cost depends what you want springs alone as the cheapest £30 second hand to £120 or so new loads to choice from Eisback are the only ones i like and I don't agree with just using springs the right not ideal. They will drop about 50mm front and 60 rear at best regardless of what they say Pi will...

Why pay extra for bolts which are a pain to use? Thats why I'd use good strong normal bolts there better.

You need more than the engine you want the looms and ECU since yo've a phase 1 its eaiser at least. Yuor gearbox will mate up but the 1.6 has the strongr JC3 rarther than your JC1 box its up to you if you want to upgrade noone any idea how how say how long yours would last. Matt was saying £1k...

BenR was talking about making them but he was only willing to make a decinet system and the cost were huge realy plus he needed a bulk order I belive. Thats expensive though check round on ebay and you cna find them cheaper £200 or so for the manifgold them make a cat or bit of pipe to fit.

Panel are expensive so difficult sometimes to get a quality job done doesn't take much to write them off so fixing by bodging is often the only way to make money somehtime they can do a superb job though repairing the old panels.
