Just wondered if anyone has had one and if they have had any problems afterwards? I'm thinking of getting one from these guys - www.remapscience.co.uk Anyone heard of them, or would you reccommend somewhere else?

Turned my wipers on this morning and they wouldn't move with the snow on them. I cleared it a bit and they moved once. I then tried again and they wouldn't move although it still sounds like the motor is working fine. If I move them manually they feel quite loose as if the motor isn't...

More than likely. Gearbox is ok I think. Just want a worst case scenario, and rough costs for any of the problems.

Think it's hydraulic

My wifes car conked out today. Clutch is flat to the floor and it won't go into gear when engine running. It looks like there might be some gearbox oil on the floor underneath. Any ideas how much it'll cost to change just the clutch and how much if the gearbox is knackered too? It's a K12 1.0E...

I'm considering upgrading the turbo/using nitrous on my dci and was wondering if anyone can recommend or can give me some advice on what injectors I can get that will allow me to do this? Or even how much power the injectors in a dci 80 can allow.

Aye, but how much will it love before it goes pop?!

Thinking of getting my dci remapped but was wondering if how much nitrous the engine/transmission can take with occasional use of nitrous on top of the remap? I'd hopefully use a progressive wet kit.

Just wondered if anyone manufactures upgraded injectors for the 82/86 bhp Dci? If not how would I go about getting someone to make them (if possible)and what are the costs?

I wouldn't bother if it wasn't relatively straight forward. It just seemed like a cool idea since I know that some of the Micras/Clios share engines, that a 182 swap might be possible with minimal amount of work. I would of course leave it to the professionals. £2500 sounds more than reasonable.

My thoughts exactly. Would be a giggle! Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or more likely beer-holder in this case). I like the look of them anyways. Wouldn't have bought one otherwise and they come with a good amount of kit for the money. Would leave it standard looking aswell...

Or does anyone know of a company that would consider doing the job?

As the K12 Micra and Renault Clio now share engines (might just be the diesel lumps?), just wondered how easy it would be to transfer a Clio 172/182 or 197 lump in to a Micra? Would it fit? Anyone know?

Don't worry mate, we knew what you meant.

Yeah, but a Focus ST got 1.34.9, a Civic type r 1.36.5! A Monaro got 133.5 for ffs! Different 'Stigs' probably with different conditions to be fair. For example the Focus ST posted a slower time than the RS, yet was allegedly faster round the Nurburg. As many have stated, there's probably...
