Re: Barn find
A LOT. Change/Replace: Axle greasing - check the manual and do the 60,000 mile lube job. Oil, coolant, probably fanbelt, definitely cambelt. You might be lucky and have most of the hydraulics work - best to change the brake fluid and then stress test the brakes in a safe area and see if the ancient ...

Re: any cheap, complete 300/swap mk1 auto clio
As a matter of fact, I write slogans every day, in the form of limericks mainly, or the 'USA TV Voiceover dude', Or the English TV Informative program style. Really heavily taking the mick out of companies who want to sell you things. Satire vs retail.
Thanks for the compliment I'm trying to say.

Re: any cheap, complete 300/swap mk1 auto clio
Got another clio with leaky exhaust valve. sorted the valve, this is the 3 minute wait during torque sequence on head.
Appears Renault detuned it by making it badly... I;ve improved it a bit. polished the intakes, not ported it.. too much like hard work.

Re: any cheap, complete 300/swap mk1 auto clio
what can a 1.4 rev upto.. I'm sure it can get 8000 if you sneak up on it :twisted: ancillaries are tougher by a long-shot on the 1.4 - ie have not 'needed' ancillaries 1.4 ever. I know the 1.7 has a lot of torque low down for what it is.. and it's better on fuel by a margin if you try. But it's just...

any cheap, complete 300 - upto £350 (edit)
Looking for cheap project car with a bit of MOT left to get it home. only 1.4, or Carb 360 - 1.7 not like.
So long as it is complete and it needs no more than £500 of welding I can and will save it if the price is reasoned.
Anywhere mainland UK.

Re: Lots of glass for 5 door 340
Vandalism.
It needs passenger front, rear screen and rear passenger quarter.
It runs and drives as it sits.
It hasn't been Fred-Didnah'd (Spent time on its roof).

Lots of glass for 5 door 340
I need rear screen, and I'm not sure, think it needs everything apart from the front screen 'almost.
Prefer local to Lancashire.
Can I get an MOT with broken door glass+rear screen?
(I'm getting the 230k silver one back...)
