I have a 97 mk1 clio with a shagged 1.2 diet engine. Iv just bought a replacement 1.2 energy engine from an earlier model. Im lead to believe that the energy engines are stronger built, more reliable and have slightly more bhp. The new engine came with ecu, loom, gearbox, driveshafts and all...

A mate has asked me to do a cam belt and a clutch on his 182. :shock: Rather than do a clutch, and then a cam belt separately, I thought it would be easier to take the complete engine and gearbox out. I have good workshop facilities with a wheel free hoist and a block and tackle, so no...
I've decided to just sell the car after all the sh1t I've been through with that Tom. He's made me so Sick of it all that I just don't want the dam car any longer which I've babied for almost six years. It currently has the POS RS2 manifold fitted and would need to be removed as it's not working...
