    What is this thing called???

    as above not needed unless you were making an air tight seal around the filler hole when filling it. later cars had long breathers, some of the 1.2 16v ones came up and clipped onto the battery tray at same height as the top of the battery.

    Sub-£100 dual action polishers

    Ive got the shinemate which was the cheapest cleanyourcar had when my PC went up in smoke. I think it was sub £100, big benefit for it was the lack of weight, its perfect for doing vans and bigger motors as its so light!

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    got another couple of hours on the van today. Managed to swap over the 182 brake master cylinder, ABS System and the brake lines and calipers then the lower arms, hubs and discs. hoping tomorrow to get the 182 ARB swapped over then bang the engine back in. The plan was to rebuild it replacing...

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    no factory fitted alarm, no window etching, no locking wheel nuts is usually the giveaway

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    That 182 I'm re shelling into the van is a heap but I thought at least it's low miles at 60k, until I realised it's got a 172 breather setup, damn.....

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    Of the 3x 182s I've owned, 2x had 172 engines, one was a heap and one was a minter you would never have expected. And ironically of my 4 172s, 2x had 182 engines!!

    Clio 197/200 estate - has it been done?

    I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard, ive never seen both side by side but id imagine the subframes are the same/similar so it would just be a case of swapping the engine, box, driveshafts, suspension, hubs, brakes/master cylinder and ABS then the rear beam over, depending on if there is a...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    In that case it might have been an update list from factory sorry I thought you said it had a tuner list previous. 54plate is right around the changeover my 1.6 16v was a 54 plate facelift and had an update list cabasse

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    as above if you have a tuner list you can only use tuner lists, and vice versa

    Scottish Specialists, share your recommendations

    they are spot on for VW stuff especially APR as they are putting quality maps on. I was looking to have my new DCi Clio remapped, the wifes car was done by Superchips via Bluefin but they don't support the Euro6 ECU in the facelift cars yet, I done loads of research on where to get it done and...

    Adeys F4RT Twingo GT

    good work, how much difference did the 5th gear change make at 70mph?

    Scottish Specialists, share your recommendations

    seems EFI is about the closest highest regarded place. Ive used EcoTune who advertise that they should be able to do a job like that but tbh id rather upload a TomTom map of Belgium to my ECU than one of their maps after my experience getting a STANDARD car mapped.

    cs_rich's RS250 Megane

    be purely cosmetic hitting a deer, that could be a bargain to buy back and repair.

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    If course I've heard of it, and driven one but very rarely do you hear of it mentioned much, I remember on here there was about 100 of the previous ones, every forum you went to people were getting them, but these days everyone just seems to speak about m140, A45, focus, Mégane, golf, civic etc...

    All new Mk5 Renault Clio

    couldn't have put it better myself, if I had the choice of my 220 trophy vs my 200 cup, 182 trophy, ph1 172 etc etc id take the 220 trophy every day doesn't matter if it was a B road blast, track day, commute to work, motorway cruise, doesn't mean the previous cars were bad, they were fanstastic...

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    Everyone complained about it because they don't like change, it was too much change at once, turbo over NA, 5 door over 3 door, auto over manual I get reminded on Facebook memories every year around about the launch date of how outraged I was and how I would never swap my 200 for a 5 door auto...

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    Nothing new there though is there? 197 Vs 200 225 Vs r26 MK1 V6 Vs MK2 V6 When do they ever get it right on the first attempt lol

    182 (non cup pack) Suspension refresh sense check

    I believe you should have had extra caster lower arms from the factory, weren't they were introduced for the 172 cup and everything from 172 cup on words had them?
