Hi Guys,
Been offered my step sisters 2000 Clio Grande 1.2 for nothing as a cheap hack to save putting loads of miles on our R27, and save a bit of cash on fuel too as the wife is now commuting 40 miles a day.
Thing is it's got a suspected HGF (hence it being free!) which isn't a massive issue, as my mate who's building my ITB 16v Golf engine is able to skim the head etc, and I'm not too shy about stripping the top end off, just not sure if it's a case of wet liners, like the 5 turbo engine, which I seem to remember was a pain in the arse to stop the liners moving.
If anyone could shed any light that'd be grand, cheers.
James
