I'd go for dodgy exhaust then ed!!

Private plate, or dodgy exhaust on a 172??

What a top man!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd probably be around that figure (£600) if I decided to sell mine. No tax/mot and non-runner, suspected cambelt. Wouldn't take any less.

How far did it have to go mate? How much did it cost you?

Always thought you can't beat a well trimmed, super cleaned to the point of shiny, smooth box!! Like your airbox as well mate!! Always like it when someone trys something different as well..

Got to say driving a mile and half is a bit pish mate. My journey to work is about 5 miles, about 2 1/2 miles to dual carriageway. I never go above about 3k rpm till I'm at least there and that is letting it tick over for a bit before setting off. Coming home once I get to end of dual I stick to...

Looking good mate. Be interested to see the conclusion tomorrow. I wouldn't want to drive mine if I'd spent 2 days cleaning her every nook!!!

Could you not hire a trailer mate, and ask someone then to tow it up for you. Probably will be cheapest option. Hope it was cheap???....

That's what I got, 12 bhp. Also same lb/ft torque. Bargain I thought. My car eats Evos and STI impreza's all day long now..... I am extracting the urine before anyone asks!!!

Shame, looks quite tidy on pics.... Coolest thing about it numberplate then?

Don't quote me mate, but pretty certain it's 14mm. If you search, I know sideways Danny has posted size before, could always PM him. Did it cause any other damage? Number 3 by any chance.... Make sure garage know what they're doing, it's not as straight forward as it may seem, or so I believe...

Surely not just he hands Fred?!? What I was saying is do you have a steady supply of engines you can get your mitts on, or is it when they pop up on here and the bay etc....

Saw the ones you were breaking Budgie,and would have been very interested, but not in a position to get my toy fixed at minute, had to sorn her yesterday..........:dapprove:

How much for labour to swap engine,and do cambelt and auxillary belt kit, waterpump and clutch while doing??

Reputation all the way when it comes to messing with your cars parameters. As already said, if they've told you your clio is gonna make 183hp with a map, that would be reason enough for me not to go there. Would save a bit more, not rush in, and have a trip over to Leeds IMO........

WOW!!!:cool: Not seen before, but has just become my favourite car on here....................................

Look like really nice examples, but am shocked at how poor some peoples adverts are. Think it goes quite a way towards getting interest, if obvious that effort has been put in...

Any belt history would play a big part in price. Might have to look for a cat c or d Cup myself I think. £1200, bargain,bargain, bargain...

Could be a lot worse mate. Mine is sat on drive with suspected cambelt failure, don't know what to do with it. Just done SORN..:dapprove:

Must have been kept back and registered late, but can't be many of these about... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201032365410146/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/clio/make/renault/postcode/wf127ta/radius/1500/page/6/keywords/172?logcode=p

Just seen pics in Media mate, looks very tidy. Took me ages to decide whether I liked the look of the phase 1 before buying mine, but now the more I see them the more I like them............

Cheap at £1500, even comes with aux belt kit..

Will bare in mind, if decide to do so mate.

Now then Avstar, good to hear from you mate. The belt went on another phase 1 I got, not the one when I was trying to get yours;) Gonna sorn it for now, as tax and mot due, will decide for definate once I know extent of damage....

Belts, belts and some more belts................. Along with some tensioners and a waterpump perhaps.....

I px'd that one mate, as always wanted an EP3 type-r, and one came up local with someone looking to free some money up. Then was selling wifes 1.8T golf, and was offered another phase 1 as px, not as much history as mine but still not a dog by any means. It is now dead.........Should have kept...

No mate, sold that one unfortunately:dapprove: This was one I took in part-ex...

As already said mate, Yozza stealth is where you need to be investing...;)
