    Belts and service before selling?

    Given the milage I would sell without the belts. That's probably more likely to be the sort of car people are buying for a cheap toy rather than people looking for a minter/investment etc (no disrespect to your car, I'm sure it's as good as you say) that then leaves it open to people looking for...

    Track suspension around £1000?

    Worth noting, I see a lot of people choosing bilstein b14 due to the name these days, I went thru 2 pairs of rear dampers in 12 months/1500 miles with only light road use, bilstein did swap them under warranty, but the fronts also looked like they had come from the titanic after this same period!

    Non 172/182 shells - are they the same?

    Only an issue if your young I suspect, I'm under £200 a year for mine

    Non 172/182 shells - are they the same?

    Identical shells if you get one without a sunroof, myself and @aldo_87 have done a couple of reshells with ours, much better condition shells on the non RS cars now. As brigsy says, only worth it if it's a long term project so future resale isn't a concern

    your unit is probably designed to replace a media nav system which is more like a traditional head unit behind the screen

    Hybrid Clio subscription. Is it worth it??

    Mental IMO, if you had that sort of monthly payment to put out then id do what my Mrs does. buys a brand new Clio DCI every 2 years, she took her first one over 2 years HP with a massive £500+ payment every month, then at 2yrs old traded it, used its value as deposit and took the balance over 2...

    Home Broadband Recommendations

    For me the actual product is fantastic, I've had broadband with them for 20yrs or so and in that time have only had a 2 day outage due to a modem failure. The customer service though is f**king terrible. I've only ever had to use it for issues with price rises but the full process is a...

    172 engine into a 1.2expression ?

    Why not? Rust is an issue on a lot of 172/182s now, the issue doesn't seem to exist on non RS cars for some reason (possibly the lack of skirts?!)

    Fit a standard one, you can't dislike the noise when it doesn't make any.

    Have you done the inner track rods? Usually you can't feel any play in them but my god it makes a massive difference when you refresh them. I could bearly keep one of mine on the road above 50mph

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    the 1.2 is a fairly early car I think on a V reg so I assume the immobiliser just looks for a code it recognises in the key and then gives the green light to the ECU to fire? i know certainly on a PH2 onwards you need to swap everything!

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    I didnt! - full 1.2 8v interior/dash/uch etc is all still in place, i put the 1.2 key in and turned the ignition, immobiliser light went out as it should, turned the key and it fired! Tried the same with the 1.6 fob and 1.2 key blade and the immobiliser rapid flashed and wouldn't turn over!
