    Soooo, 20 years of the Clio....

    I mostly like them, much prefer the mk1's though, so much more character & the fact they're really cheap to buy & look after makes them much more appealing to keep & have fun with :cool:

    Paddy's Valver - Project Leave it the F*ck Alone

    Your mum! ;) It got chopped up with a stihl saw then chucked onto the back of a pikey scrap mans wagon, it used to belong to the chap I quoted above :clown:

    Paddy's Valver - Project Leave it the F*ck Alone

    It takes dedication and the knowledge that it's not really that expensive, the only major expense other than buying it was the respray as I haven't got the skills to do that. After the crash I got it fixed & still had a healthy profit left from the insurance payout ;) so that paid for the...

    Paddy's Valver - Project Leave it the F*ck Alone

    :lolup: tell me about it, I only came to yours for 1 part & ended up with a van full of stuff :rasp: Meh, it's easy to sort now 3 hours maybe less to whip the engine out, probably do it quicker next time if there's no filthy 6th formers walkin past my house to stop & chat :evil:

    Paddy's Valver - Project Leave it the F*ck Alone

    Ok it's a shameless copy & paste from my project threads on other forums but I feel it deserves to be shared on here, in full and from the beginning 8) A brief history of the car to begin with. I bought her in February 2007, a bit rough & tatty round the edges but the intention was always...

    Last Ace Cafe Meet of the year December 21st 2009

    Me & my mate made it down from nottingham in the vee just as a load of mk2 & 3's were leaving :dapprove: the only time the weather caused a problem was after j10 on the M1, most of the carriageway had snow settled on it but 1 junction down it was almost empty & no snow. Traffic coming back...

    Ahh I see what you're doing now, but I've no idea if your other idea with the sensor will work or not :o

    Are you not having an oil pressure gauge? Only ask as the sensor on the back of the block that you're putting a bung in is the pressure sender

    1.8 16v or Williams

    That's a nice 1, buy that & I'll buy those wheels off you, I've got the same but they're not that mint anymore :dapprove:

    1.8 16v or Williams

    Yeah but is the sooooo much more bit worth the financial crippling? Which it what it will come down to for the OP ;) Can you remember that far back in time when you were 19? :rasp:

    1.8 16v or Williams

    I sort of agree & disagree with you there There is quite a difference between the 2, but for me (at the time of buying) the extra cost to run (ie insurance) in relation to the increase in performance - which lets be honest isn't as vast an improvement as is sometimes made out - was...

    1.8 16v or Williams

    I have to concede that the williams is the better car to begin with but I imagine it's gonna come down to insurance cost for you, same as it did for me. When I got my valver I was quoted at £1300 to insure and a williams was £2650 so bit of a no brainer
