    Rare Sight?

    agree, but you always hit that peak where it peaks then starts to go down hill, just shows if well serviced that's probably not until at least after 150-170k!

    Rare Sight?

    181 next time id say. While there will always be variances in RR's, running on the same rollers at the same place is as close as your going to get to keeping it accurate and getting to measure your results of your work! Looks like a strong engine that one, good given the miles just shows that...

    Alternator Work Around ITBs

    I went down the PMS kit to remove my AC/PAS and relocate alternator, looks a nice piece of kit and the belt setup is so simple with plenty room and weight saved

    Black as pictured is the correct one. Cup spoiler cars had a red one and non sports that didn't get the spoiler were red

    New owner of a V6.

    I didn't realise they were so closely related to a normal mk2, did they just take a mk2 body shell and modify it rather than a specific shell?

    Last time I came across that it was a faulty injector leaking pressure and wouldn't fire as the fuel pressure sensor wasn't seing enough pressure

    What can I change on my Akrapovic exhaust to make it sound louder, but not illegal?

    Parcel shelf off, my 220 Trophy (non Akra) sounded much better without it lol

    MK3 Clio 1.2 16V swap to 1.2 TCe?

    sell your current car and buy a car with a TCE from the factory is the easiest option you need to change engine, gearbox, wiring, and ecu its labour intensive

    1.5dci cambelt

    wouldn't be in a hurry to change it lol, I got a quote to do hers sure it was around £400 but in reality it worked out a much better decision to just chop it in for a new one at that miles lol

    1.5dci cambelt

    £600 for a 1.2 8v!!!!!! comedy! sure the belt interval is either 5yrs/72k or 6yrs/100k both ring a bell! we traded my birds in at 5yr old 160k on the standard belt, looked good to me when I checked it 😂

    PH2 172 stealth exhaust - how many are there? and which one!

    I bought a brand new standard genuine system for my last one, from memory it was about £400 and sounded perfect, 2yrs later I heard it had snapped off lol

    Snow

    Front tyres are a bit wide for snow but they seem to cope pretty well being a light car with plenty weight over the front end. My Clio van on its standard steelys was amazing in the snow

    Really feint hesitation/miss at light throttle

    I've had similar with a dodgy throttle body and it's a reasonable common issue. They are expensive nee so I'd try a 2nd hand one first

    Ren Breakers

    I got one from cliospares years ago, turned up damaged, the bits at the windscreen side where it comes to a point where bent, I just fixed it as the car wasn't a garage queen but best bet is always collect it or at least go via paypal
