Hey guys, haven't been on for ages since I sold the valver and bought a vectra (turns out vauxhall engineering isn't any better than renault, who knew?)
Neighbours son just bought a 1.2 16v on a 55' plate. Biting point is really high on the pedal, is it adjustable? I remember it used to be...
Havent been on here for a while but spotted a tidy yellow 182 at HQ in portishead today parked up with a subtle cliosport sticker in the back! Someone working in comms perhaps?
In sales, oh rite yeah I've seen a couple of 197s in the car park, think one is red?
yeah the valver was stripped out for a while, just put a phase 2 interior back into it for the MOT, probably gnna sell the vectra soon as its a bit chavvy and worse on the petrol than the valver and no where...
spotted this parked up near the barriers/nursery @ uwe a couple times with a sneaky cliosport stick in the rear side window! looks like the 1 my mate used 2 have...
Hence why nearly all companys offering luxury cars always state a finance deal with an end balloon payment, why throw £100k into a car when you could invest it and easily offset any extra interest on the car.
Looking for a company to insure a 1986 bentley turbo up to an agreed value of around £40-£50K, used as a show car so technically business use. Having problems as a lot of insurers won't touch it as its business

Not at all.
Most people drop the subframe on the passenger side and remove the box through the wheel arch. Can be quite long winded, took me and a mate a day to do it before (never changed a box before) but if you're fairly competant and dont encounter many problems should be able to do it...
For widetrack u need:
Williams or renault 19 16v wishbones
Williams shocks (can use williams or 16v springs)
Williams driveshafts (can use a renault 19 16v driveshaft but only the passenger side one, drivers side must be williams)
Williams or renault 19 16v ARB+mountings
Can get a valver box of ebay for well under £100, pot luck though. Got one for £70 start of last year and its lasted so far, but thats with slow gear changes and minimal abuse.
