Ah well I can do a full service on my mountain bike and I learnt to maintain that and change parts. Alot of the tools I needed were realy specialized, like some companys had different caps on the brake resivoirs so you needed a specific tool to remove it. is it much like that iwth cars or is it...

so much stuff about engines? From what I've read you seem to be mechanics or are you just very enthusiastic? I want to learn about engines etc, how would you reccomend I go about that?

I'm not an expert but the induction kit would only bring air into the engine, the emissions is what goes out so i dont think it'd make loads more. at least not at idle, I dunno how they test these things anyway, I dont think people get failed for them though as lots of people use them? Unless...

I heard adrian flux is meant to be good for specialist stuff. I know cheapest online quote i got came from quinn direct.

I've read on paper that its more efficient? I dont think the insurance differs cos of the bhp increase. Also 1.6's are more tax. I've thought this through ;) I'd of thought the engines would be similar to work on? well I know its all ecu and computer chips now. but still similar to 8V no?

Is that on your parents insurance or something? If not what company? or ncb?

Well I'm paying upto £3k for the car, insurance would cost £1000 more maybe for fullycomp. I'm a cautious driver when thres lots of other road users, and I dont think the cost of repairing the car and the loss of ncb etc would make up for the fully comp thing. If It was a brand new £10k car then...

I'm 18, I got quoted on Quinn, for £1500 for A 1.416v clio. third party fire+theft. They're only group5 which is cheaper than similar engines in other makes or cars. I'm off out driving my family about now, I'll coem back on later. Safe driving to all! :cool:

I have about £4k. But £3k for the car is my budget, anything under that means more i'll have for insurance. Otherwise i'll have to wait a month to ssave up. I've been lookin on autotrader, seen lots of ph1's but not many 16V ones, And I ideally want a 16V one. I'm not in much of a hurry, my...

And I reallly want a clio. Mk2Ph1, 1.4 16V and i have £3k to spend. Do you reckon I'll find one for that price realistically? (I saw a green one on the for sale part that looked nice!), If I cant get one of these is there any other cars worth getting? Not too much to insure or tax etc. just a...
