    This PCP malarkey...

    you are still paying for the millage by the amount it has de valued the car, as you would with any car. your not paying the excess millage charge as this is charged by the finance company when the car is inspected before being returned to them, in the case of a trade in though its not going...

    TCE, stock turbo, how much power?

    as above, injectors are your first bottleneck, not sure if their is a common swap for them for something else? after you have sorted the breathing mods id imagine the turbo will be your next limit, they are tiny! stock car with a remap though should be pushing 125-130bhp however as edde says...

    1.5 Dci - MK2 PH2 - 2002 - 65BHP - A lot of smoke - Oil being used fast!

    what sort of millage on it, sounds like the turbo oil seals have gone. pop the EGR valve off it and that should give you a good indication if they have or not as it will be covered in oil, another check is also to pop a boost pipe off, they should have some oil in it, just a light light coating...

    No it doesnt, ive done it with my last 2 cars. The traded in car is being bought by the dealer not returned to the finance company, dealer settles the outstanding finance on your behalf and any extra is yours towards your deposit or any short fall is added onto your new agreement.

    millage limits only apply if your handing it back and walking away though, not if your trading it in or planning on keeping.

    Clio GT any good?

    haha na its mint, always warmed up before hammered and always left running for a few minutes when it had been driven hard, plus apart from the front end being full of stone chips, or should i say stone holes the rest of the car is imaculate!

    Clio GT any good?

    yes fully specced dci, 20k of hard hard miles and the fronts were just becoming illegal, rears were a fair bit worn and needed front brakes, so i traded it for the 200 rather than replace lol

    Clio GT any good?

    nothing wrong with the steering it feels like a very slightly lighter version of the 200 brakes are more than up to the job suspension/chassis is its party piece, coilovers would just ruin it gearbox is fine unless you dont know how to use a clutch you may have issues driving possition again...

    Clio GT any good?

    if the performance and fuel consumption doesnt bother you then they are still an extremely nice car in petrol if its got a few options on it. they are well built, nice place to be, cruise control as standard, but they arnt worth it over a 197/200 for running costs, unles as i said above its a...

    Engine transplant? 2002 clio 1.4 16v To 1.6 16v??

    if you can do it youself, get an engine for a couple hundred quid and get it remapped for less than 300, your paying £500 for over 15bhp and around 20lbft, not bad for an N/A car bhp per £

    Clio GT any good?

    needs to be a diesel. they are awesome i had one for a year. 1.6 16v petrol is gutless and no cheaper to run than the RS 1.5 DCi has bags of torque, its bullet proof, does 55mpg daily.
