a search will throw up loads of threads on buying them but also check the exhaust isnt blowing at the welds or joints as they do when they are about to fall off and the stress of a sagging mount as mentioned could accelerate that wear, as can worn engine mounts

any J Series box will fit it JB1 (1.2 16v), JB3 box (standard valver, 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, DCi65) JC5 (Clio 172/182, DCi80, williams)

gsf will use either valeo or another well respected manufacturer who probably makes them for renault. get the garage to fit and supply that way they make their cut on the clutch and wont screw you over lol. genuine clutches for the 1.2 16v used to be £60 + vat from memory, urs will be a...

just keep in mind if its done over 36k the aux belt is due and in 1 years time the timing belt will be due.

lol awesome!

you will be told to leave the engine alone etc as its not worth it. ive been there done that, i got good gains for a 1.2 was it worth the money NO, was it worth doing probably not, if i could go back would i do it again YES. same goes for my 172, numbers dont tell the full story i spent about...

any pics of my shed? lol

dont let it put you off go look at it when its cleaned up, my 172 is 100% imaculate but after sitting for 3 months u wouldnt consider buying it from looking at it, just needs cleaned up

lol what about the fud in the pickup in st andrews that i was shouting abuse at!

20% gain from a decat lol 14bhp?!?!?!?! its not a turbo lol 2-3bhp max!!

only car getting over 50mpg and it needs fuel lol

hats off to you mate, ive got loads of respect for people who do a project and do it ALL start to finish, im fine with mechanical side of things but when it comes to fabricating, painting and bodywork im no good! cant wait to see how it turns out

awesome, i love 9's was looking at that one on piston heads a few days ago. i cant afford a 9 sadly so im on the look out for a 7 at the moment now that the clios gone

the diffuser never looks right in pics, my mates got the same one but when your following the car from behind it looks awesome

wheels and front plate look terrible apart from that i like it, cant really see the roof but it looks good!

these get more gains from a remap than a 172 does lol, i got 85bhp WITHOUT a remap

first time ive gave the dci100 a proper push down a fast road was quite impressed by it, didnt go over the top due to cheap tyres but pushed pretty hard and it went well all that torque out the bends!

thats the ones, u know them? give the fattys my number

Fail... was a good night chippy was good! f@nny was brilliant, anstruther cruise however was not, think the birds in the ka wanted me and allan after our beeping and waving at them coming into anstruther, but their way of impressing us wasnt the best redline past us in a laby 20 times. good...

salesman said "that shudnt be a problem" at a guess? then will ask his manager and get told to bolt when they check the price haha

seriously? i paid £2500 on a 172 when i was 17 never mind a 1.6

the trip is accurate to within 0.5mpg on the mk2's

surely dci 106 is going to get similar only slightly worse due to weight MPG compaired to my dci100 and i can get 65mpg without to much hastle, driving very quick i get 50+ acceleration wise from the line the high reving 1.6 is going to be quicker but in gear 60+ the dci will pull on it...

house prices still rocketing here!

id walk away if hes selling within a week of buying lol, howerver i will say personally id just get a 172 rather than a 182, 182 you get fancy colours, if your not into modifying then the 182 is the better car "out the box" but if you have plans on changing springs etc then i wouldnt bother with...

check for the exhaust system blowing around the centre section and backbox. leaking rear dampers can be identified by oil and grit all over them. snapped coil springs rear disks are pricey so check if they need done, most ive ever seen do!! again belts is a good bargaining point. you might find...
