If you've got nothing to drive buy a £300 quid Mondeo with 12 months mot and moth ball the Clio for a bit until you have the parts and money to fix it.

If anything that's a good thing.

I've got a one year old powerflex dogbone, new KTR engine mounts and polybushed arb that are less than a month old, and I haven't felt any more vibration in the car at all. I know alot of people say it's unbearable on a daily, but other than the car feeling a bit sturdier, for me it's exactly...

You're selling your car because the gearbox blew up? £200 odd quid will get you a second hand box, £100ish new clutch, then £200ish for the labour, unless you can get someone off here to do it for beer. The gearboxes are a known weak point, we've all had them go wrong at some point, just fix it...

Mine got replaced for free a couple of years ago when they issued a recall, if you keep the Renault database updated with you current address they told me they'd replace it every couple of years.

RSTuner fastchip map will sort out the lumpy idle, cold starts and smooth out the 5k kick, but on a standard car don't expect a power increase.

Am I missing something here? Other than putting Catalytic Converter as an Exterior option, and his inability to use paragraphs, I can't see anything wrong with that ad. Compared to some of the f*cktards advertising a '200bhp ClioSport with a air filter and fat zaust dats got badass power...

So does the lamda screw into it then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251150505763#ht_1308wt_1186 Edit : Never mind, I just read it. :o

Where did you get that from? K-Tec want £80 quid for theirs.

So does Lamda 2 screw into that K-Tec mini cat then?

Brutal Rhys, i'd f*cking love that!

Should be ok to drive for a while, just don't go booting it about as it'll probably knacker something with the knocking. Powerflex bogbone bushes are around £40 quid, so not an expensive fix.

Bugger, that was going to my pikey fix when I decat mine. :dapprove:

I've read on here that you can remove the post cat lamda, bag it up, zip tie it out the way, then block off the hole. Don't know if that's rght or not, it's just what i've read. Iirc it carbon deposits on it that puts the light on.

God knows, that's where my knowledge ends mate, crank sensor maybe. Also it might be worth considering getting powerflex bushes for the dogbone mount, cheap upgrade but well worth it.

£200 quid is a good price for the labour on a clutch replacement and box swap.

Yep that's the one, only old 172s and Cups without abs have the speedo drive. Although both will work in your car, but the 130 has the bolted in circlip, so it's a slightly better design. When mine blew up I replaced it with a 130.

Well those two Escorts are going to make Gally cry when he sees them.

You'll need a JC5 130 box.

Diagnostic check for fault codes, probably find out it's a faulty abs sensor or something.

Mine rapes old ladies in Honda Jazz's all the time, it's can drive quite quickly as well.

Just take the diamond off and mask the front up, 10 minutes max.

Ferociously fast, I want it!!! Mine's only tw*tingly quick. :dapprove:

F*cking hell, is the spare off a Matchbox car?

I thought that but mine fell apart on a warm day, also a mate of mine with a DCI had his RS2s up the side of his car the other week when he had a blast on the last hot day we had. They're the best tyres i've ever had in wet conditions, but they just can't cope with warm dry roads.

Yes.

You can this one then.

You have a nice car and you'd be gutted if you had to take evasive action on the road and it ended up in a ditch upside down, get yourself 4 new tyres, for around £50 a corner you can get something good, then sell the 4 new budgets on ebay and claw back some money.

Not easy tbh, I had the use of a lift and two mechanics so we took the subframe off and did it the easy way by lying the subframe on the floor. I can't imagine how much of a ball ache it would be lying under the car with it on axle stands.

CS must have made Skoda so much money over the past couple of years.
