course i was going to bring 'that' ;) no point bringing the slow silver one really :quiet:

you would of seen it if i had made it to the north wales run but had to get our lass back to derbyshire for work this morn :-( matt on here used to own it years and years ago, and another matt before him as well

gutted i missed this tbh :-(

nice day = clean clios and then phone camera pic fail! one day i will get out and get some decent snaps.....pinkie promise :p Coops

Re: Calling All Silver Clio's

love the colour but as others have said the wheels are just pants tbh, bad call Renault!

need clips to hold it in place :) club shop I guess then......wonders off to investigate, or whatever cyber equivalent is ;)

I need a very bespoke sticker, went to the ring but only made it as far as Aachen and blew the gearbo......can't be-arsed/afford to go again! lol!

where was said boot net acquired from good sir for I hath a desire for one also :)

lovely job, nice motor :)

the wheels maketh the car, in turinis we trust :)

i'd be putting new ones on and sitting in a quiet corner of the garden with a baseball bat awaiting the second coming of the scrotes ;)

I run the 172 for about 10k a year and it burns about a litre in that time absolute max, I don't usually need to top up as the oil gets changed then anyway

only done 19k in 7.5 years?!!! weekend toy perchance? :cool: I've had clios since I passed my test 11 years ago and I've had the turbo for 5.5 years now with absolutely no intentions of selling it

polo GTi, new ones with the turbo lumps, never ever see them, seen like 1 since they came out

touché sir, a fine riposte ;) although i'm down to 2 now, the Williams left me ages back, just yet to update! for my sins it may be accelerating up to 4 soon however....... I think I should seek some counselling :-)

its a good looking car and well looked after, nice work fella :-)

hehe, sorry, its was an immature and totally misguided comment, but i'm weak and can't resist a pointless troll :o

Whats wrong with your car right now?? ;)

I've had pressed plates on the turbo for 5 years now, been pulled once or twice but never even mentioned the plates, usually so confused with the semi slicks, stripped interior, cage, buckets, harnesses, battery in boot, plastic windows, the list goes on!lol! and as yet touch every bit of wood I...

welcome, and yes its a mark 2 phase 2 car :-)

most of the time people on here make you feel not just like you farted in church, but followed through onto the collection plate as well ;) lol!

head gaskets clearly gone, can see where its popped and burnt through in the pics, no way that occurred when head was removed, that's gone pop! that's what the loud tapping was as well, text book blow by into the other cylinder, sounds like a rattle.

when I fitted the new engine to mine I paid £300 for the car and £600 for a new engine with manifolds, gearbox and starter. coupled with shifting the good bits from the knackered engine (cams, dephaser, etc etc) the whole project came out owning me £550 with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax on it...

its a total scam when they integrate the joint into the arm, the arms themselves cost nothing, they simply refurb them and usually the inboard bushes are fine/cheap to replace then charge you £200+ for the pleasure!

i'll keep an eye out for you, I live in Ambergate now so closer again to the cotes and swing up there for B&Q'ing :-)

I get plenty of waves and flashes around Derbyshire, dare I say it it tends to be the mark 2 phase 2 and newer that don't respond or look confused, most mark 1 and mark 2 phase quick owners are a friendly wavy bunch. all in my experience of course, its probably bias as well as you see a lot more...

exhaust manifold to head blowing, or could be turbo to downpipe, not sure which needs brake overhaul including new front pads, new fluid and rear brakes completely stripping and refurbishing, also probably needs a new rear brake bias valve needs more boost too, not strictly a problem, but...

True but usually if it's just fifth 90% of the bits stay in end cap n what small bits do make it into main case will come out with the oil. for the record this has always been my experience,if your in any doubt get a pro in.I go through that many boxes it's worth the risk as swapping box only...

if u fancy a crack urself then drain box oil and whip 5th gear cap off, see if you can see the damaged cog its easy enough to remove it, 3 bolts for the end cap and one that holds gear on
