Will a ph1 172 alternator fit a ph2 172 Cup??

[Bluebeard]

As above. Cup is the non aircon model if that matters.

 

[Dan519]

Fcuk fcuk fcuk fcuk fcuk.

But the insides of a ph1 alternator fit the insides of a ph2 cup alternator.

I'm so f**king happy. Got a guy coming from France to buy a car tomorrow morning and last night the alternator blew up! Proper melted.

All fixed now though, good as new.

 

[Russ_16v]

You remind me so much of Del boy lol x

Guessing this is my old cup?

It is mate yeah. I've spent a f**king fortune on it and it is now the best one I've driven! Cambelt, aux belt, dephaser, big service, new top mounts, New engine mounts, camber and tracking all set up, new exhaust mounts... It drives mint! Took it out for one last blast last night before it goes and all hell broke lose! Car died, smoke billowing out from the alternator.... Lol!
Glad it did it with me though and not with the new owner. That would have made me look bad!
All fixed tonight and hunky dory.

A lot of RS Clio's seem to be making their way to France latley - are they fetching any more money?

I think they're quite rare over there and fetch strong money. I suppose they're the holy grail of hot hatch ownership to a French 20 year old maybe?

I don't really care tbh, I just need the space. (Well, my parents do, it's been clogging up their drive since we lost the unit! Lol)

Lol.

Any form of Clio RS in europe seems to be a parts bin mix match special!

Seems to be the case with a lot of cars, my s2000 has sold to a french guy and going to live out its days in sunny french land, plus a mate who specialises in selling lotus sells TONS of cars to frenchies

 

[jenic]

They are worth a fair bit more over there, I really wanted my RB back from Belgium but the guy wouldn't budge on price. He wanted pretty much £4k for a car worth about £2k. He sold it to a french guy in the end though.

Coming over here, taking our cars....

Yup, UK is the pound-shop for 1*2s compared to the continental rip offs we get here...
