£3995 buy it now is OTT, looks nice though

that's not a bad price

lot of coolant and quite a lot of time to get the covers off and get access to the bay on a vee

job 1 is get a new upper loom, that fixed 5 out of 8 fault codes on a 1.2 last week

did you loosen the head-bolts in order, or just one end to the other? That could make the head warp. I'd be surprised if it's something from doing the job previously though, a year is a fair amount of time. get the head pressure tested for cracks

Not worth it for the hastle IMO. Probably make a tiny difference to temps so they "work", but they dont fit. Gaskets pictured were supplied and fitted so they're not a DIY effort

knows it

sounds like there's a big air leak. One of the vac hoses is off I recon

heard of it a lot less, think the newer boxes are better, until they finally used a bolted retention method for the diff (182). sadly the 182 box doesn't have a speedo drive so it's a PITA to fit to older models

bolted is 182 style, much better

inherant problem IMO, dont think it's preventable. dan.wil had his pop on the line at santapod last weekend, Cliowizard had his go on the way home too IIRC

try welding, if it goes again, it'll need a new box, not much else you can do :(

once they pop once, the groove is mis-shaped. Lots of people have welded them, I'm pretty hesitant about that though

that's why i have 4 ;)

WANT! best looking new car in years, first time I can remember loving a car from the day i first saw one, normally takes me a few years to accept them LOL

ECU doesn't control the pump at all. The pump runs at a constant flow rate. I doubt it's the same pump in a 1.2 as a 172 TBH

they're all near enough identical (some very minor changes that aren't worth worrying about) from a 5gtt all the way through valvers, williams, 172, 182, 225 etc. Be fine :)

They were gaskets already fitted to cars and they just dont fit. I've modded them whenever i've seen them. They dont even match a standard gasket, they certainly dont fit a "matched" inlet

the piper 172 system is louder than the 182 one by some margin. They're excellent quality Systems but not so well known on clios, so they're vastly overlooked. I'll be getting one when i manage to find a ph1

be careful when fitting. I've had to mod every set of PTFE gaskets I've seen so far, to make them not overlap the ports.

that filter is a K&N "M's" Green cotton do a HUGE range of sizes, and they're not too expensive

that's valve contact IMO. DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE

thermostat should have a rubber seal on it I think

yup, that looks like the same thing. Welseal is made by STAG. TBH this... http://www.ready2race.co.uk/shop/shop.php?action=full&id=1734 is what you need

STAG? do you mean welseal? Best thing EVER

Loctite black silicon sealer

sod using Hylomar EVER!! at least use a sealant that sets

Piper is the most "grown up" system for a 182
