When you say 'a bit of a myth' I asked on scoobynet when I was researching buying mine, and that's what they all told me. Maybe a bit like this place and cambelts! Lol

Got a pic of that end of the new cable? You need to jog my memory, I haven't worked on a Clio for months.

If it's a bit seized you will flatten it and it will never come out. Soak it in some UB40 over night and have another go in the morning.

Hit it.

Sell it. It's probably (apart from a 3 door 1.6 Rxe mk2 ph1 Clio automatic) the least desirable clio going. Somebody would love it though, so stick it up for £1,999 and see what happens.

A lot! The gearboxes are only capable of 300-320 if you like driving hard. If you're wanting 350 and the torque to go with it, an STi 6 speed box will be needed. My old one had 320bhp and the 5 speed and it was plenty. Went like stink! Lol

Yeah it's got all that jazz. What would make it less painful is another 100hp, another 100ft/lb of torque, a gear stick that didn't flop around and if it just had one straight body panel it would be nice too. I'm sure it will be a nice little car once I've spent some money on it though.

It is. Got a car booked in tomorrow morning and out for my FIL's 70th at 2pm.

I'm genuinely gutted I'm not coming. :-( I expect pics and a good write up!

Did you buy that from Leicester?? I bought a silver Cup from a guy called tom and the driveway looked identical! Lovely car though, well done.

Mine did 25mpg over 6 months.

Is your camera wrapped in cling film?

I'm sure Mine said M Sport. (53 reg facelift car) I was under the impression pre facelifts were just sports?

I've had, f**k me, 100+ mk2 clios? I've never had one with a rusty shell. Ever. As someone has said, they don't rust as they're galvanised. Chances are it's had a new back wing at some point in it's life and it wasn't seated properly. Water is getting in and is eating it's way out. Same...

Amber lights are dreadful and it's too low. Nice car though, good choice.

I have about £4 to my name. My house falling through has crippled me. Financially and mentally! My sincere apologies.

I'm not paying £200+ a year to tax a car just for work. Plus the increased insurance. I don't/won't drive it on evenings or weekends, it's purely to get me to work. Therefore it needs to be as cheap as possible. But trust me, the vectra is about 1000% nicer to drive!

I had one near identical. Should never have sold it.

Me and Sam will be in one car so we don't need two tickets. Save one for someone else chaps. :-)

The 206's are great little cars, loaded with spec! Climate, leather, multi cd, they go well and are still cheap on tax and insurance. But we'll give the little dci 65 a go first. Graham, thank you very much mate, I appreciate the advice. Currently I have 10mm per side front spacers and...

I'm going to do the following... New mounts Fit coilovers Fit 172 ph2 wheels (got them) Fit spacers (got them) New stereo (got that) Sub and components (got them) Full and proper clean. Seats out the lot (free for me) Better headlight bulbs Service it New number plates. Once I've done...

The speed doesn't bother me. I commute in heavy traffic for 20 miles a day and use my other car for everything else. It's everything else about it that I hate. It's absolutely filthy inside, it needs the mounts doing, it needs 2 tyres, the stereo is s**t, the silver seatbelts are brown and...

I had a brand new dci 100 in 2005. I loved that car. I hate this one though. Really hate it. Only driven it twice and I want to push it into a lake. Hateful little car. (Apologies if that offends you)

Oh cool. Same as my mk1 track car then. Thank you so much mate. :-)

@Martin_172 thank you mate. :-) Do you have a picture of this 4th mount?

What's wrong with the search function? There are about 1 million pictures of ph1's on various wheels. In fact there's a ph1 appreciation thread. Try that.

Car is an 04 dci 65 dynamique. 1) will coilovers fit from a mk2 ph1? 2) if they won't, will coilovers from a mk2 ph2 1.2 fit? 3) is it worth blanking the EGR on these? 4) will a dogbone mount from a 2.0 1£2/182 fit? Thank you please.

This is on a Facebook group I'm in. It's a for sale advert and this is what they've provided....

Where's my tag f**k face?? I came to last years one too. It's where I met Gorm for the first time. Put me and Sam down for one. :-)

I'd not want more than 50,000 miles for £6k. When they get proper rare, 100,000 mile examples won't command a premium.
