you're not just smoothing though, you're re-shaping and it has to be the right shape. IT's not just a case of honk it out to the size of the gasket. If you do that the castings may aswell go in the bin

that's bullshit though, you need insurance to get tax

did it have a huge wad of yellow and black tape on the passenger arch :D

only PH1 plenums have the ICV hole

Yes, you can ride a restricted 125 on L-plates with a CBT at 17 You can ride anything under 100cc unrestricted on l-plates with a CBT at 17

sounds like he's more worried about theft/fire cover, as it's a non runner. Sure Flux do laid up insurance

white makes the front end look so much less wrong. Very smart mate :)

pricey, but i guess some places have a min 1 hour charge (does take a little while to put it on the ramp etc) just did one on my 205 gti (same as a drum rear clio!!) and it was a 20 minute job all in

or there's one of the newer technikas http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-0962.aspx better contract ratio but still pretty damn basic set. good spec apart from that for the money. All things relative, for a bedroom TV there's plenty under £200

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-0527.aspx bit of a bargain for a bedroom set. Not the best ever made but it's decent. There's a full Hd technika 22" for £169 at the moment, proper 1080p, but the contract ratio is POOR

bad advice. get it mapped on worse fuel that you'll use, then you have a safety margin

tripodding....piece of piss. I had my 1.7 diesel astra estate doing it, all the way up the slip-road onto the M1 (junction 9 north)

pretty common to use wahsers as spacers. Free boost upgrade ;) Dont mess with it without a gauge though

a guy i used to work withs dad was a BT man. he had the fuel tank nicked out of his transit whilst up a pole. Twice

precisely

Forte stuff is spot on. I'm very hesitant about using a flush on VERY neglected engines. It's good when an oil change has been left late and the oil is very dirty, but if there's a lot of dirt and carbon in there you'll loosen that and it can potentially do more damage than good. A few oil...

a few WEEKS before? You shouldn't even drive a car with flush still in the system.

had this on a dell. A wire was broken in the power plug, had to buy a new power supply (it was a fairly old laptop)

check driveshafts, shocks and ARB drop links (drop links are very common on non sport clios)

Good points well made. I got 4-pots purely for the fade issues I was having (not on a clio ;) ) A fun drive across Milton Keynes would only last me 2 roundabouts and i'd have to be back to cruising or have a pedal through the floor to stop. Also worth noting you'll get better pad and disk life...

get a mk1 laguna they sip fuel (honest to god!!) and they're sooooo comfy

those manifold gaskets look a bit poop (having uses similar before ;) ). Headgasket is probably fine. If you can't afford genuine, I'd suggest Victor-Reinz gaskets as VERY high quality

looks more like a 197 cup spoiler with the end caps missing

cooked that good and proper. Not too bad an engine to do the headgasket on, but the head will be warped as you didn't stop, so a skim will be needed. not such a bad job to do really

I swear to god they fit raising springs on these things just to give the hideous plastic some ground clearance.

done it on a ramp, with a transmission jack, several times. Also done similar with lots of other cars.

no no and no a jack under the bellhousing will lift the engine enough to get the sump off

Marshall stuff is alright, nothing special but better than kumho/nankang

pay to have it plugged in to diagnostics

no, coilpack and leads
