i think a test drive is in order! the 1.6 16v i borrwed the opther day was bad but didnt know if the Cup models were better

Im very tall (about 65") but have had 2 mk1 clios before, main thing putting me off buying a 172 cup or 182 cup is going back to that nasty high driving position. had anyone successfully fitted aftrer market seats to thier 172 cup (no airbag) or has the reacro option in thier 182? Is the 182...

Been away from clios for a while since selling the last Williams but reading about the 182 is making me seriously think about coming back. My questions are- 1-What is the cheapest way of getting a 182 with Cup pack? 2-How much? 3-Do imports have the full 3yr warranty? 4-How much % is friends...

my scorpion is a silenced pipe (or very small box - about 3" diameter) Will try and get a mate to ru the emissions test on it prior to parting with £30!

Ive got a scorpion de-cat on my williams 3 - whats tha chances of it scraping throught he emissions test? (aside from the fact its post 1992 and should have one) Ive heard from my mechanic thats various sprty cars he has had sail through the MOT without the cat

Just to confirm this is my exact problem - I beleiev the renault price new is arounf 180quid

yes thats it mate - any ideas on a quick fix?

I need a new power steering pump (loud knocking when cold rather then the usuall whine) Im planning to try and source a second hand pump but can anyone tell me if they are all the same? i.e 16v will do? R19 16v? RT with power steering? any help much appreciated

Ive never quite grasped the concept of bumpstops - i know what they do but are they not included wthin the strut? Northern what was the parts cost for the work you have done? was it all the parts mentioned on both sides? thanks in advance

just been on the phone to renault - for my exact oval plate number there are at least 6 differnt colour springs it could be! nothing is easy with the cars is it! I need to ring my mechanic and see what colour i got currently Cheers for the offer mat but i think new is the only option given...

i thought they had both been replaced when i bought it but it appears the nearside front spring has broken on my williams menaing proably only one was replaced - anyone know where the cheapest place to buy one is? do Euro/GSF supply the correct one? thanks in advance

i need a low temp Fan switch in a hurry so cant wait for BB/ktec etc to deliver, is there another car that uses the same fitment switch with a lower cut in temp? i need to be able to get it by tomorrow lunchtime so need a definite model to ask for! anyone know what the cut in temps are as...

its a stupid question because i have been doing this for years in various places but where is the best place to jack when using a trolley jack? i hate using the sill but other areas on the front are a bit out the way

dont buy them - they dont fit althought they are listed they are actually too small - just thought it might help a few people in the future

its gone now in favour of a scorpion stainless - was annoying as feck! just weighing up my options pre-MOT
