Parts collection mission tonight-met a boy local to me who races Clios in Superlap Scotland and got a few bits off him-standard front struts and springs and a pair of rear dampers too. Also my timing belt tools have arrived, waiting on the kit to arrive and then I can finish some jobs on the...

Cheers for the positive waves guys. Its fine, I've been around enough forums over the years to know what they can be like. Did 80 miles in the car tonight which is its first proper run in my stewardship. Picking up timing tools tomorrow and hopefully some dampers, the shot front damper let's...

Well, Home safe with my new toy. So, about this latest purchase. I'd viewed this on Monday but it was tonight before I could get it picked up. For the first time in a while I was excited about getting a car! (I was terrified bringing my Locost home in sub zero temperatures in February but...

Hi Guys. Thought I'd better join up on here, heard good things about the place. I pick up my first Clio on Friday, a 182. I'll be doing the timing belt/dephaser/water pump soon as it's just about due and a few other things on it, does anyone know where I can hire/borrow the tools? Everyone...
