Its now on ebay as I'm moving house and haven't got room to keep it here anymore, check it out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160136272111#ebayphotohosting
Its a Tamiya FF01, about ten years old but the car itself has never been used. The body was a right mess though and a crap colour so I sprayed it Blue and sprayed the wheels gold. Need to get new stickers for it though as peeling them off to paint the body then sticking them back hasnt worked...
Not been on this site for a very long time as I sold my Valver roughly a year ago as at 18 insurance was nuts.
Well anyway now that im 19 I got my self a Williams off ebay and spent the weekend giving it a full respray. Just some touching up left to do and maybe some new stickers. Best thing...
I work in argos and i think it will be the case that you do get the 6 months free subs, but argos personally wont deal with or provide you with this they will give u details or there will b details in the box of how to get the 6 months free.
I do this on down shifts all the time, but not on purpose, just learning to drive my daewoo matiz lol, it revs quite nicely for a car with no engine. My dad goes nuts at me everytime i do it thogh!
It had had a prang on drivers side at front and w**ker that fixed it cocked up spray job and it looked b****cks, would have needed a respray really so that nocked price down alot, also unknown history on replacemnt engine.
Well my dad only had a motorbike at the time when i bought it and i hate been a passenger on it, so i bought it as it was cheap, would have done it up, would have een cost effective if engine hadnt blown within 3 days of getting it! I did plan on selling it within a month or so of getting it...
Ye i got it off my mum last november! Her and my dad split up, and i wanted the car as id always loved it so i bought it, id got 5 numbers on lottery in september so i had the money.
Had to sell the Valver on monday as my dad now owns his own car, the garage is taken up, ive got a daewoo matiz and wont be able to afford insurance on it for about 5 more years. Got my dad to sell it to a mate at work for me as i dont think anyone would buy a car off a 16 yr old. Got £750 for...
I think his 15555 inch bicep resting on his electrically lowerd glass shielding ( Window) in his super automobile ( car) typed some objectionally things into the little box at the bottom of a page similar 2 this, so they kicked the tit out 4 good!

my dad got a scorpio v6 estate this weekend and managed to spin in the wet flooring it away from some traffic lights into a tight corner, Rear wheel drive is great!:D
Just wondering how much people had to pay for there insurance at 17. The cheapest quote ive found is £1046 tpft on my T reg daewoo matiz, and it would only be £1370.25 fully comp with churchill. Elephant wanted £2300 tptf so i dont think that price is too bad. Can other people give me an idea...
Its blue, its incredibly dirty cos not been washed for a few months and has phase 2 alloys with no centre caps, it looks a bit sorry for itself to be honest, its got a cliosport sticker in back window though. My dads just bought himself a new car so now he wont need to borrow it all the time and...
I think i might have seen your car a few weeks back in the carpark near argos and macdonalds, i also seen a grey valver a few times round here in the last week or so.
My dad was driving down to gatwick airport from north wales in the erarly hours of friday morning. He was on the a483 near oswestry accelerating up to speed between the very regular roundabouts when the drivers side front tyre blew. He managed to control the car and come to a stop safely then...
Had the engine on my valver replaced with a 129 16v engine in december and since then the oil pressure gauge hasnt been working. All the other dash gauges are working, temperature and oil level, but that ones just wont work. Any one know what it could be, is it just a wire thats not been plugged...
justy readin what everyone else has posted, its not the pbv i disconnected it was the wire to the cold start valve, that was what was causin it to overfuel, thats what i described as just unpluggin. Sorry bout that, but id still try that first .
its under the inlet manifold, u have to stick ur hand under there and just unplug the wire going to the valve. I took the bonnet off and dropped radiator when i did it, but i think you could probably do it without.
Thanks for the advice he seems to think it will cost him alot more but he doesnt know about cars, hes happy payin for it for now, because i cant drive it yet so he gets to use it and all he does is moan about how tired it is.
I took the pvb out and it fixed the exact problem you are describing instantly, its not had any problem since and this was 2 months ago. I did post sayin to give it a try the first time you posted, im sure itll work. I havent put it back in since it seems to cause no problems even when cold.
Situation is my dad was told by some bloke in the pub how good 16v clios were last night. My dad has now had an idea of spending some money to get my 16v back to its original new condition. He said he would consider doin it if he could have it all done for around £2000. it needs a full respray...
