my bad sorry dude, yeah i would say an air leak

^^^ this is correct, an MOT tester is within his right to fail a car if he deems it too noisey, i checked this at work too its right I would also say yes i would think it woould be illiegal to run without a rear box,( im sure i read somewhere that an exhaust has to exit the vehicle) and i...

agreed,mine did it, new cable fixed it

ah cool mate buy mine ;)

how,when.where and how much? ^^^^^^^

so whats the plan,you going to buy a ph1 172 ? i gotta take you out in mine now iv got the suspension sorted, the last time i took you out i had 2 snapped springs

lol all those scoobies,would that be a gaggle or a flock lol

nick dont make me start pic whoring! blacks the best :rasp:

lol now i understand why there are so many cat D v6's about, smack a bumper and write it off lol

sounds silly but how do you know how i drive? i live ten miles from work, i drive in huge traffic,no chance of driving fast even if i wanted to, i drive economically,its rare i do more than 50mph going to work and back, i slow bown by letting off not using brakes, all the usual tricks, i...

well mines not too bad, averaging around 30, but i used to get better so im wondering if there is anything thatywe can try, im sure i cant be the only one thinking that lol

nice one coops!

iv let them know, i cant make it :(

Bear with me here lol I was thinking is there anything thats easiely changed to help mpg? any sensors that duely effect consumption? (ie coolant temp sensor or lambda probe etc?) If there is anything that can be changed that can help then i think this could be a helpfull thread

it will be your throttle cable sticking mate,common problem, buy a new cable, pm me and il send you firring instructions if that helps

lol i had super 4s when one of my plugs broke down, gave me a missfire, so got genuines and all better :)

no offence intended to anyone here but i it worth it? i mean £600 for 15 BHP? Thats alot of money!

no iirc its cambelt off job, how technically minded are ya chap? def something i wouldnt tackle in a hurry

well if it helps i have my old one,only reason why i changed it was it was stiff in operation,your welcome to it to tide you over till you can get a new one?

ebay chap? or ring the local dealers see if anyone has one in stock? how old is your clio?

id like to see this too

fair play mate, its nice to hear a full, unbiased report comparing both, really good read :)

very true that mate

the thing is turbo cars always seem faster, because you have lag, then the power comes in in a big hit,get an engine that produces a good wave of power througout the rev range and you can be up the road before matey is even on boost lol

here ya go,dont worry about it saying 182 not 172 the plugs are the same http://www.ferodo-brakes.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/NGK-cars.asp

spark plugs only use what renault suggest,others make it run worse and thats from personal experience,and oil use a fully synthetic 5w 40

pm me and il write out fitting instructions mate, not difficult just fiddly yeah its the throttle body, usually taking off inlet pipe and spraying carb cleaner into the t/body does the trick,depending on how oily it is mate

on other cars yeah mate, i know that low mileage cars tend to smell as the clutch doesnt get much use, and its just burning crap off, you should smell a car with a proper slipping clutch lol, i had to drive a fiesta once and the clutch was so worn i put it in gear and it didnt go anywhere lol

morning bump :)

some might chap, if it was me i wouldnt worry, mines on 121k now and still the original clutch and cable
