i wouldnt be paying any more than 2 hours labour so £70 max, i can do them in an hour without ramps! u dont even need to take the bloddy back wheels off! and yes you will need the tracking done or it will go thru tyres quicker.

bassed on what exactly?

from memory VVT disengages like i said at 7200rpm or there abouts to protect the pistons as the standard ones cant handle prolongued use above that level!

people just get more confidence when they get their springs changed to something stiffer, the pace i can hold in bends in my girlfriends standard 1.6 16v is nearly what i can do in the dci and thats just because she has cheap tyres and i have T1-R's all round. they handle well as standard they...

i wonder how many clios in that percentage were handbrake cables lol

nearly ;)... Authentique is the bottom of the range one, avoid that, dont even know if you can get a dci in that actually. Privelidge is a pretty low speced one too never really saw one up close to look at one. Expression has the electric mirrors, CD player after a certain year, wheeltrims...

christ im charging far to little for fitting springs lol i usually do it for £30!

never timed myself but its not 7 hours!, its a bit of a pain right enough, best bet is drop subframe and take it out the passengers side wheel arch

interested in seeing a graph when its been on, whos doing it?

get both wheels on the same side, get a picture of said pot hole from a few different angles.

rubber mounts are there to absorb vibration, you have removed one and replaced it with something that doesnt absorb it as well, you will get more vibration at idle and when driving. better of just replacing them with a new genuine renault one every once in a while

ok so converting to diesel apart from the cost involoved will half your fuel bills but you wont benefit from the £35 a year road tax or cheap insurance? ive read some s**t on this forum but never this bad

ehhh?? the only car thats more forgiving and easier to drive quickly is probably an AYC equiped evo!! apart from kitt of course!

yep fits

sell for 5k at least, buy dci for 2k at max, get it in pearl black and get a 172 kit for it for £500 all in

you cant afford to run it but you can afford the £3k+ bill to convert it? ill quite happily put a 2.0 16v in a non RS car for someone if they wanted me to but convert something to a dci, thats asking for trouble i wouldnt touch it!

if your going to spend £££ in the first place on a car then yes its worth paying a bit more than average too get one already done if your into standard cars and find a minter, the perfect car then its worth getting it cheap as possible to buy the bits needed to get it back to standard

sports suspension package was fitted on all Dynamique cars with the 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, and DCi models ive driven cars equipped with the "sports suspension package" and then driven the same car with eibachs fitted and their is a difference, however the eibachs in my opinion arnt a great match...

possible to be the cable but doubt it due to the fact this is a real common problem on them. cables are ok on them they just snap all the time lol.

standard brakes arnt that bad. suspension again isnt to bad set of 2nd hand springs from a 172/182 and it would be fine untill you get around to doing the suspension properly

VVT disengages after 7200rpm which is why your power is dropping like a stone. reason your not noticing it in first and 2nd is because the car has little resistence so will still rev that high without you noticing the drop

dci 100 is the one to go for, 65 means u get the colour and spec u want due to being less rare, 80 is a compromise of both and 100 is a case of take what you get!

if thats straight id snap it up ive got the same car but mine has climate, electric sunroof and xenons. and i paid £3.8k for a minter. i made the swap from a 190bhp 172 and dont really miss it! 130bhp/190lbft ftw!!

the cars of the future

i get loans for everything im ticked up to the eyeballs

lol it was a good bit better than the 100 is!

if you have a good budget get a 100 but they hold their value. 80's again hold their value quite well but are a bit more common 65's if your looking for a cheap runabout, not fast but plenty of torque so dont give you that horrible slow feeling the 1.2's do

after a google search...

hope that wasnt one of our lot in the clio lol

i had Bilstein coils on the 172 too for the last part of ownership, they were just at a sensible height for driving. the FK's on the 1.2 were brilliant on a smooth road, infact you couldnt really go fast enough to corner "too fast!" on a bumpy road they wernt great but that wasnt the coilover...
