8v so I believe, quite a big problem with the D7F engine.

UPDATE ON CLIO
just collected some 16'' clio 172 alloys with 195/45/16 tyres on. i've got a dark grey colour with a glitter shine init (custom colour) im going to have them done that with the renault badge the same colour as the car.
iv also ordered some plain black seat covers as i noticed a horrible rip in the drivers seat, its purely just to cover the rip up until after christamas i might invest in some 172 half leathers.
im also bidding on a twin 3'' inward rolled tip magnex backbox.
pic of alloys(ebay pic)
