    I'm guessing it was probably a comparison to the early ph1 & ph1.5 Valver seats as you sit more on top of them rather than in them

    Clio Williams Project

    The Williams and ph2 Valvers have the exact same seats, just a different cloth pattern but they certainly are the best of the bunch It was the leather seat option in the Valver that used the R19 front seats

    Bordanovasport are spot on, I've bought loads of Williams bits from them over the years

    Worse case scenario is you have to get jiggy with a grinder and just chop the bolt

    Yep (y) Unfortunately getting the fluid out is going to piss out all over the place & make a mess no matter what you do so use some cardboard & plenty of rags to soak up the worst of it

    The pipe circled in red goes to the power steering fluid reservoir and the 1 in green connects to the pump The nut & bolt that connects the column & rack looks like this and it goes on the shaft you circled in green

    On the far right of this pic is where the column connects to and the whole lot drops down as in the pic above it

    No need to touch any of those, on the bendy joint at the bottom of the steering column, on 1 side of it is a 13mm nut, undo that, pop the bolt out and it's disconnected from the rack

    Clio 1.8 16V fuel system question

    Here's some diagrams of the system, basically you need a standard fuel rail that has the regulator built into it and the correct pipes Number 5 in this pic is the vacuum pipe that connects to the original regulator

    Handbrake lever question

    I'd be looking at the mechanism from underneath to see what it's doing when operated and making sure both back wheels are locking up properly Just a thought plucked from my arse so could be useful or total b****cks but I'm thinking along the lines of the cables not being fully seated in their...

    172 C.U.P. (Complete and Utter Poo)

    My 1st thought was perhaps it was some kind of cold air feed but there's just solid metal on the other side so god only knows why they did it 🤷‍♂️ Funny story though, the car needed an engine & a guy on here was breaking a cup so I bought the engine & a load of other mechanical bits & bobs at...

    Not recently but I took that pic a couple of years ago, just your mention of being in the Eifel and a Clio Grand Prix made me remember the photo 😅

    Number 20 in the pic, that's where you undo it from, the bit circled in red is the spacer bush - don't lose that bit

    Those are the 2 bars that 1 end attaches to the wishbones and the other to the chassis leg, just look at where the wishbone bolts go & you'll see the bar As for the gear linkage, follow it to it's very end inside the rubber boot & undo it from there, don't touch the clamp part of it, that's...

    Belt touching Cam Cover

    The top part of the belt (on a standard 172 cup setup at least) goes underneath the water pump pulley otherwise it rubs the cover. On that setup I think it's a 4pk belt that you need to stop it rubbing

    Belt touching Cam Cover

    The belt will only rub the cover if it's routed incorrectly -can't see the video for some reason- the belt needs to go underneath the water pump pulley

    PE2s 195/50/R15

    Only in my MK1's & mainly for being a bit nonce like for OEM-ness, so can't really say what they're like on the MK2 in comparison tbh It's more the PS3's that are the go to tyre for the 1*2's which I've found to be true but my preference now is Avon ZV7. From 3 years of having them on my 172...

    I wish they'd still do them in 185 55 15, I'd buy them in a heartbeat for my Williams ☹️

    Headlights going mental - normal 172

    Got this very odd issue that crops up on or just after startup whenever it's dark enough for the auto headlights to turn on. Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

    Same sort of thing with the MK1 Valver & Williams as well
