Head gastet £20 or so then labour say 6 hours depending what price your garage charge then new cambelt (you should change it). A trasnplant well idealy you want a whole doner car its a fair bit of work DIY is the only reason you'd ever do it otherwsie get a second hand engine like your and...

Err its illegal to post articles like this on here as they are copy writen.

I'd chnage the wheel stock wheel don't help the brakes cool hence why you need to uprate the brakes to deal with the temps. Your only pushing the problem back a bit more though.

The plugs are labeled. Just find the wires they won't have been cut to far back though.

Improve handling is a bit questionable what do you mean I'd say Apex for example don't on a bumpy back road I can do quicker in my standard car on a smoother track they will help rduce roll which helps increase grip and even tyre wear out. The claims or sports supension are a bit dubius there...

Did the red light on the dash go out? Did you hear any relays cutting in etc?

It will have abs for sure.

Why not just got a 172 phase 1 for £3k then get the turbo or better still get a VAG engine dropped into the Clio 280hp with just a remap and tunning easy on them there loads of bits plus the gearbox is stronger and engine better for strenght.

I'd use Miller 5-40 is not cheap £40 or so for 5 liters. However its the best oil I've ever used used. It takes some abuse superb stuff.

Rentech are down Southhampton I'd think they are the closest.

Its bound to be that Alpine they have been talking about.

Tesco are often great value but you need to ring around loads of cmmpanies will take at least a day to get the best price.

31 thats not old. Buy what you like. The local headmaster is apparently in his late 50's has a 172 whats the problem he likes it.

They crash more often as drivers don't take account of the fact they don't have ABS etc to realy on IMO.

Yep sure Pm me your address.

Re: Dirty b**ch on ledas I'd think you could have gone lower theres always Freds kit he had make someoen selling for £160 if you want to go lower at the back but there quite hard I think spring rates. Glad you sorted out the problem.

Coilovers on fulll height will be about the best. On a Phase1 due to there age I'd say best thing to do is to refurbish all the parts.

I'd say less than 400 with ABS have been written off plus they usualy do more miles. Being as some insurers won't insure Cups tells you somehting.

Pm me your address if you want a copy of the manaul for how to strip the CD chnager down and check it works.

£40 maybe.

The Yellow plug from my memoey is the CD changer one. Check the unit is pluged in the plugs at the back. Also some people tried taking the unit out (to sell seperate) and cut the wires until they decined they couldn't be bothered with the hastl but the lft the unit in place with choped up wires.

One thing to remember is wheels were swoped from Cuped to none CUped cars if customers asked as sometimes people who'd payed for Cuped spec wanted normal wheels and vice versa the dealers were onto a good thing realy. Also swopping the CUp suspension off isn't that difficult so if someone wanted...

How would they be haigh gaisn Ok they will make the power but the 172 is much cheaper and more reliable for the same HP. 5GTT is easier to get a whole car and swop the whole system. mounts are already premade thanks for the 1.1 Night and day Clio. As for gearbox strength forget it use the...

Re: Dirty b**ch on ledas Thats looks quite a good hieight. You could remove that front splitter then you cna lower the height of that plus you cannot then damage it.

Ok theres 4 wires, two run to a heater element (lines A and B) the othe two to the sensor itself (D and C) The lines are in order A-B-C-D are the order Line A is a black return line needs a 30amp fuse you could just tap into the lambeda infront of the cat black line as they both feed from...

Well the 172 are definatly 54mm. I'm 99.99% the 182 with cup packs are 60mm.

Get a good one and you'll be fine. However valvers are a pain to work on (big enginei engine bay to small) so work might have been bodged or not done propely. I kknow its a terribalt thing to say but for the price difference I'd buy a Williams preferably a 1 or 2.

Yep its a Cobra alarm fitted by Renault fitters when they come into the country. You need to get an electrical to have a look the alarms probaly got wet of thrown a short.

60mm I think Cup packs are. 54mm for All 172's, 172 Cups and none Cuped 182's Your right about your above post though hence why Fk's etc are fine as there enough adjustment in them to fit ok. if your using stuff without loads of camber you'll need some bolt and maybe a bigt of filing to the...

If the policy was in your name when you were on your proviosional then I'm sure it does.
