    Exhaust Manifold Gasket?.

    a 182 manifold will fit ALL MODELS so id assume all gaskets fit no problem as the blocks are all the same as far as im aware

    Service - 2001 1.2 16v Cam Belt

    you MUST replace the waterpump on the 1.2 16v engine when the belts get done, they WILL be already or about to start leaking, and will 100% NOT make it till the next cambelt is due so id get it done for the sake of an extra £50 or so belt and waterpump at an independant garage, i wouldnt be...

    Disappointment when making space for CAF

    surely he will be losing torque if he has a straight pipe running from the TB to the box behind the bumper as thats a rather long inlet tract

    Clio GT dci

    dont get me wrong my mrs 1.6 16v dynamique MK2 is awesome to drive, it feels so much better to drive around town than a 172 which is lumpy, and you dont get the lag around town that you get on the dci100. side by side there is nothing in it between the dci100 and the 1.6 16v, the 1.6 gets a...

    non sport engine mods. what have you done

    my dci is going in for an RS Tuning remap, 130bhp & 190lb/ft, more if i can get an uprated clutch. that will make it a VERY capable car considering £35 a year roadtax, £300 a year insurance fully comp and 55mpg!

    1.4 16v

    if its a 1.4 16v your using id look to use the bottom end from a 1.6 16v for the extra torque (im assuming the top end is the same although you would need to double check that) have some headwork done while you have it in bits, wilder cams, nice exhaust manifold and filter setup should see...

    The 'Cup' leg-end

    renault marketing at its best, rather than advertise it as the cheap model, advertise it as the lightweight model. very clever

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    HELP:car not performing can hear a ticking noise?

    if its ran its self dry on oil then the damage is done so simply toping up wont sort it. however it could be something else causing it

    considering buying a v6

    v6 will be fine, id imagine in the wet if your driving like a dick then it could catch you out. only rear wheel drive cars ive driven have been longer wheel base turbo buses, 200sx/rx7's and they are hairy. but v6 will be fine with less power and no turbo to catch you out!
