Get one of those bike chain thingies from Halfords etc there ony a few quid well worth it the job isn't any easier. Its not recomended that you stick a screddriver though them as you can break bit of the filters which will end up in the engine. I know many new 1.8 and Williams had to have them...

There very good they last 72k. As mike said there expensive £80 for a set I think.

The engine makes the same amount of power at 4k in any gear. They make 105NM officially.

Its difficult, if you can get hold of cheap cars it can be cheaper just to sell them on. Best idea personally would be to buy a car and strip it for parts, cars are often worth more in pieces than as a whole.

In a normal gearboxed car if you jack it up and spin one wheel the other will spin in the oposite way thats just normal not sure what happens with an LSD though.

A garage would probably charge a fortune due to the possible problems the modifications lised headwork cams etc is expensive head work is £600 then you ned a remap wihich is £300 or so (you'd need it with those mods) cams piper might have some cheap ones or be able to use yours. Bigger throttle...

Theyre 99.9% likly to be he 58mm ones. Only way to be sure is if you measure them. Its the distance between the two bolts which bolt the strut to the hub. If you stick th wheel on full lock you can see the bolts.

If the master clyinder had gone the pedal would as simon said go to the floor there very little resistance. It could just be that your not used to the brakes as they are. Most peoples problems with brakes are down to them not being good enough not being to good.

1) I know fo a few which have gone but there on very hard driven track day cars. 2) Nope nothing like that as presnet you can get replacment ECU's with different mapping (often refered to a R-Sport ECU's for about £200~250). 3) Ever 12k or 2 years there a 1k/1month allowance though. I'd...

Get some copper grease and stick that down the sides of the mount then get a G clamp or spring compressors and squeese the outside of the mount to it holds the worn inner bit better.

They will be about as difficult the 1.8 might be slighly more difficult but it won't be much. The rsi engine has the advnatge of low end power the 16V needs to be reved more.

Mark at Rickspeeds kit is the best value it uses the stock disks (you can use 172 ones if you want with the different caliper bracket) Drums at the back are fine they don't do much anyway. Plus they don't stick ever morning, cheap to replace and dont get rust on them if you leave them for a few...

Its an 80 liter an hour at 3 bar which is about 250hp safly. I think j3ned used the same pump in his car which ran out of fuel on a turbo engine (they run richer) at 280~290hp). Even the V6 pump though needs uprating for high HP use j3ned wrecked an V6 engine running 340hp or so when the pump...

Won't be much different than an RSI swop. Personally I'd buy a crashed car or similar you can pick 1.8 16V with rusting rear arches for £300 or so then just swop everything.

You can get both better suspension and brakes fitted aftermarket than Cup or 172 stuff. As Fred said FK coilovers or similar and 4 pot brakes will do better tha Cup stuff.

Check the one on the drivers side that can be a problem. Best fix I know is Omars one which is to copper grease in the gaps and then get some spring compressors etc and sweeze the outer part of the mount so it holds the inner part more firmly.

Williams cost a fortune to insure there 172 price usually but you can get limited milage polices but there under 10k and more often under 5k a year milage which is small. Have a shop around though for a 172 quote you might be suprised just add a year or whatever to your age when checking for...

Its just like any other Clio Mk2 the rears simple jack the car. Remove the nut holid the damper on to the suspension beam. Doing this should let the spring fall out of not push the rear suspension beam down so the spring drops out. Replace with the new springs For the front jack the car up...

Its ok I know what you meant. The maximum tolerance for differences in sizes left to right is 5mm and most Clios seem to be about this due to the fact most are driven with one person so the cars always slanted. If your cars under warently then it will be done as its not as per...

£6k for a proper job lowering compresion pistons etc. Thats drive in and out though with an uprated clucth. The clucth is a week point thats one week point and the engine to make any more than about 210hp needs lowered compression pistons and thats costs.

Its ever 12k or 2 years. I'd personally change the oil ever 6k/ 6month whicherevers sooner. Cambelt is 72k and its expensive I think as the enine no much space so I think they drop it out.

I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice on my problem. I own two cars a nice cheap Clio diesel which is completly standard that I 20k a year in and a Williams Clio with a load of modifications including a roll cage. The thing is I use the Williams for track days but I would like the...

Check the spring havnn't snapped I'd guess this is the problem. There have been a number breaking it should be done under warently as there a big spring problem at the moment for a few manurfacturers.

You don't new an uprated one. Mine had an "uprated" one and the material cracked due to poor quality. The standard one is not only light enough for normal use but will stand upto about 210hp. If you do want an uprated one the 5GTT uses a 5mm bigger dimter setup one but unless you've got over...

No speed limiter, rpm limiter though. With a long enough road you can hit the limiter in top in a 172.

Dead easy to chnage the oil look for the sump nut under the car it should be in the gap in the undertray there two sump nuts under there you wan the one which is on a flat plate not on a lumpy area the lumpy one is the gearbox oil. You need a 8mm sump nut tool from Halfords or if you're keen you...

Best be safe. I use 105 I think.

You just have to live with it with dealers just make sure you note the milage and for scratches before and after and get a courtesy car as that speeds them up. Don't complain though my car was in for 2 or 3 weeks once when the alarsm kept going off the official fix takes err about 10 minutes if...

They make up for the loose fitting sump plug when you send it in for a service as I'm sure they use a breakers bar then.

The 182 has no wheel well and thats where the exhaust sits in a 182. You could get a 182 system to fit if you cut your rear panle out and stick a 182 one in or wels over the hole. Aftermarket exhaust companies will make an exhaust which goes round the wheel well though. Ktec are looking at...
