Re: STOLEN: CLIO 182 M555 JEH
Exactly, not what you want to hear having a nice car but a sad reality!
Who are you insured with Lawro? Tell me its not Admiral/Elephant/Bell....

I hate to say, a tracker isn't really the answer either. Anyone who seen that brand new RS4 being taken in 90 seconds will know what I mean!
When was the car last serviced? When were the belts done? Is the timing out? Are the tyres at the right psi? As Daniel said, swap the lambda sensors around (the one plugged into the cat does very nearly f**k all),

Yeah fair, but even at that. It seems like a lot of grief. I'm not sure you can sell parts anywhere these days (if they were stolen) without someone questioning it. CS is actually a division of the FBI!
Another wee quick update!
Since I got the Cup I always wanted Xenons so after scouting around for a pair around the forum since I got it I didn't want to have them posted as I know how fragile the clips are so waited for a pair to come up locally. Luckily, Stu & Dave got a Phase 2 in for...
That is utterly amazing, makes me so happy that people are still looking after these so well after all this time. Did I see a prancing Ferrari horse on the boot lid???
Heres the thread i put up regarding the timing;

I think fred said it can be as much as 10-15bhp if its out!
You could.. But is it worth the risk of the engine going bang?
I have a receipt for £670 from last November from a seemingly reputable dealer in Leeds (from the guy i bought it from) - and the timing was still out ffs!
It wasn't mate no, i'll look at the receipt in the morning but i think it was £70. The core plugs (two plastic caps at the non cambelt end) of the engine need replaced as you sort of have to butcher them to get them out!
Theres a fairly high chance its out, seems to be fairly common which is rather shitty given that it ruins the car. My Cup timing was out a few degrees, had it sorted a few weeks ago, utterly transforms the drive!
