I'm alone in my love for Contininetal conti sports

£2.2k is a good price and if your wiling to do thw work (cam belt excepted0 then you'll have a good cheap car there. Breaking it for parts it should be worth more than you paid.

There no filter for gearbox oil, the one for the engine oil is down the front of the car below the large metal cover thingie (it covers the injecotors). The drain for the gearbox is at the lowest poin of the gearbox near the selector lever it takes an 8mm sqaure socket and since the only...

Nope better disk are the only ay to better braking ds2500's are great for stopping power. Make sure you stick some decinet fluid in the car though as ds2500's has boiled my fluid out (standard Renault stuff) when I've been hammering it on track.

Sensors at the back of the engine/gearbox by the dogbone mount.

PM me your email address I'll send you the file saying how to do it. I'd change it at 36k if it breaks it can take out th cambelt de to the desing of the cover being useless. if it does braek you'll have no power assisted stearing the coolent pump will stop the aircon conpressor will stop (if...

When the gearbox is full the oil should be on level with where you fill the box with oil open it up try and get msome more oil in if it flows straigth out then it needed more if it doesn't then it needs more.

They look great make me want to go out and buy one.

I'd use th excuse/explainintion I wrtoe above then. Fred didn't kill his in 90k and he hammered it so 30k is premature wear. (OK Fred had a 1.2 but same gearbox and clutch).

Halfords ones are good I've almost alwasy used them £60 for a set. Motor factries will sell them for £50 though if your in the trade (mate got them for me no idea what normal price is)

Clutch sonds like its worn the gearstick should move anyway due to the way the engine mounted.

How many miles and how have u driven it? I'd say under 995 of sutuations say it shouldn't fail in x miles if it has then its an error of design and that the garage originally agreed it was a warenty issue and they should stick to there agreement.

Get your car to handle (FK coilovers are very good if correctly set up) then some good brakes very good stickly tyres and learn how to realy drive the car it thats makes up for at least 300hp deficit on back roads and the race track. I've timed my car aginst TVR's and 260hp hot hatches and...

If your cars a Mk2 phase 1 then you have a speedo sensor on the gearbox. It can come loose the wiring. The Mk2 phase 2 (excluding Cups) used the ABS systems as the speedo input.

Vented as standard 259mm (there sometimes called 260mm doesn't matter).

Bit different to a Cup the seats were better than the 1.8 seats (best seats I've ever sat in are the Williams ones) electric windows were fitted I'm sure. Aircon was an option on the continent but the 1.8's never had aircon anyway. It had a stereo (tape/radio one)

ABS is useless plus the sunroofs leak very often.

Supersprint 4-2-1 is the best but pricy.

Yep CLiobuyers right the 1.6 is almost the same engine longer stroke different block as well for the longer stroke but chnaging just the bottome end for the 10hp and more toque gains isn't worth it you'd need to remap it to make it work or get the whole 1.6 ECU/keys and UCH. 172 transplant is...

Pm me your email address and I can send you the file shows you how to do this.

Cup packs mean new springs and ampers all round and new hubs at the front with stronger bearings and different hub spacing also the car runs more camber.

You need a load of bits for an easy conversion ECU, UCH all the wiring looms dash, suspension arms dampers hbs calipers etc. You can get the engine and gearbox make custom shafts etc and have the stock ecu reporgrammed with a custom loom but it would take ages. £750~1.5k for fitment depends...

I have to say my Williams was very reliable never had a problem and it was tunned a fair bit.

You'd need to know width but I'd think they won't fit you need at least a 5.5 inch wide rim but 6 inch would be the minimum I'd fit that sized tyre to.

They can go up loads I've seen about 8psi rise from cold to hot before now. Just go with what your happy with though.

Its not a pully as such its the whole phase shifter I guess. A new cambelts a nice thing to get out of them.

Try Rentech he's down south Portsmouth way.

It can be done by any garage its not as bad if its fails, the cambelts the one to worry about. I'd still get a cheap Renault garage to do it just right a load up and get a cheap quote.

Below the minimum fuel mark the ECU stops calculating remaining range. The fule tank sensors not that accurate with suck little fuiel in the tank so the ECU gives up working it out.

Depends what you want to use what you already have etc. Its a lot of work but you can do it in a week.
