I need to replace the tappets in my williams engine, and my friend told me about these for sale on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-WILLIAMS-HYDRAULIC-LIFTERS-TAPPETS_W0QQitemZ320092530546QQcategoryZ10410QQssP ageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Now, i've read the feedback for the seller and quite a few people have complained about never receiving the parts or having to wait a few weeks before the arrive.

Just wondered if anyone on here has any experience with the seller?

Cheers,

Kieran

I think i purchased the last set available - here's the link though anyway:

If you can't find any of those, there's always these as an alternative:

But i chose not to buy from him as he didn't have great feedback.

Wow. £62.99! How can these prices be so good? I am looking at getting a new set. Nearly went and paid £200 at BB Performance Tuning for some! :shock:

So are these like perfect for the Valver? It says F7P in the list, I have no idea what 720 or 722 means like. But she's 1995 for so I guess I'm ok. ;)

I have no idea myself, but at a guess... Off with the head, and out with the camshaft???

I'd probs get a garage to fit mine, but we'll see. :D
