as above they are deffo stuff to look out for.
exhausts are terrible too they fall off so most will either have a newish standard one or an aftermarket one (or a fucked standard 1!)
my 172 snapped at the centre section at the rear of it, ive saw backboxes fall off too in my time
Re: I Just Got a Emense Deal On A 182
bought my dci with 140k on the clock, in a year its cost me £350 to tax and insure it for a year, £30 to change oil and its averaged 60mpg in the 10k ive done so far
a clio with 140k can be better to drive and more reliable than a 30k miles one.
on...
what size is the gearbox on them, and will it fit in the engine bay of a clio or is it same size or same box as the RS meganes?
you can see where this is going lol
just as much hastle to put a 1.4 16v as it is to put a 2.0 16v.
it will need engine, ecu, uch, keys, decoder ring, then will need ECU coded to the car too afaik
possible if you get a full doner car cheap but wudnt bother other wise.
1.2 box will fit yes, as will 1.6 16v (same as DCi65) and...
taking bump stops out wont do anything but f**k your dampers as they act as dust covers to stop dirt n s**t getting in and plus the dampers go lower than they should causing them to bottom out and bursting the seals
drill out, not really needed anyway the wheel bolts hold them on, when you replace them dont put them in to tight and they wont be so hard to come out next time lol (you can get away with this because of the above reason)
since fitting the matched inlets its had a standard exhaust system on it bar the 182 manifold and decat, got it out lastnight with the 2.5" k-tec stealth and holy s**t does it pull hard now, the pull at 5k is mental now engine/exhaust note changes and it flys!!!!
goes in tomorrow for the rear...
