Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I'm well happy if that's what it's worth. ;)

How on earth did they run into you by stalling!?! Have you opened the boot yet? This happened to me a few years back, I didn't check it out for a few days and the boot wouldn't close after I'd opened it! Bit of hammering and stuff soon sorted it out! ps, this was on an old megane coupe I had...

Compared to a 1.2 clio, it'll be great. yes some people will tell you it's boring, or slow but it's all relative. I've you have been driving 'fast' cars for a while then the Astra will feel like a step backward, however if you have only ever had a 1.2 clio it will be a great leap forward. I...

Ahh right, probably won't miss that then!

No point spending money if there is nothing wrong IMO. If it's not due a belt, and the dephaser isn't noisy why go to the expense of £500+ to change soemthing that isn't faulty? I'd leave it until the next belt change TBH

Take it to a reputable A/C specialist and get them to test it. £20 to diagnose it if faulty or £50 to recover the contents and refil with correct qty. I had mine done recently at www.autokool.co.uk Excellent service.

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Hi all, I'm not thinking of selling but wanted to check i'd not paid over the odds on mine. 2007 '57 plate Ultra Red Clio 197 F1 Team (R27) Full history No options (std headlights, no climate just ac, no auto lights etc) 57k miles belts due in 6 months...

They have one from the factory, which is made very much worse by a decat. Yes. the belt is due this year (depending on when it was registered I suppose, sept onwards) Thats going to set you back £450ish so is definately a bartering point. Yes, you can pick up something with Recaros and the...

Yep, exactly what he said ^^

I can't make it this year anyway, i'll be in the sunny Caribbean getting married. Gutted though, it best come back next year, it's always a good weekend.

No problem, everyone had there preferences, thought i'd just throw it in there just incase. Chris

If you're prepared to go to an LUK unit look here http://www.buypartsby.co.uk £72.68 from them. LUK are OE in a lot of cars, I put one in my old GTI-6 and a 307 HDI and had no issues.

Simple fix ftw

No it isn't, they were a option mate

182 cup rear shocks £49.90 each inc VAT & delivery HERE I've used them loads recently, excellent service. It's actually Fish Brothers Renault in Swindon.

And the point in that reply is what exactly?

Pressure isn't a very great indicator tbh. They take a set amount of oil and refrigerant and the only correct way to check is remove and refill with the correct amount.

Get yourself over to www.clio200.net. Couple of charged 197s on there. Not sure about turbo'd though. The only ones I know of are megane 225 conversions.

^ this man speaks sense!

£1k to get the timing corrected? lol

I see you have a Clio Van? What engine is it? Is it really worth chasing BHP in a clio van?

I'd say as long as you are happy with it, it doesn't matter what others think really does it?

Some will say yes, some will say no. It's down to personal preference and wether you want a newer car or not. Also, depends on the spec. Do they have Recaros? That usually bumps the price up Out of interest, I asume the 197 is and F1? It should be for that price. Get yourself over to...

Please don't pay 8k for one that needs the belts doing. Either get them done in the price or you want £500 knocking off. I won't tell you how much I paid for my car but I could have bought my R27 AND a 1*2 for the price that is advertised for.

What is the F1 bodykit can I ask? The F1 only had the vinyls and anthracite rims. otehr than that they were identical on the outside (obviously cup suspension set up too) Any you see with spliters/spoilers were either options when buying or added afterwards.

Are you sure it's not just from where you've changed the filter? It's difficult not to spill any when unscrewing the filter tbh. It could just be slowly running down and accumulating on the lowest point I'd give the whole thing a good clean down and check again before dropping the oil a second...

Don't forget your burberry cap and track suit to go with this! ;)

You should always get a price BEFORE agreeing to have work done! He might come back and say £500 and refuse to give you the keys back unless you pay up (i know it's unlikely as you know the guy, but in general you should get a quote first!)

402's for mine isn't it? I've got a 197. Tempted to get some fitted when I get the belts done. It's not such a massive price then as i'm killing 2 birds with one stone!

Cams - £1200 Wheel refurb - £200 Small car park dent removed from rear quarter £50 Half a tank of fuel £50 Hoping to do this lot during the course of the year anyway
