A few Williams Questions I Need Help On

[mark_mcd]

Hi :D ,

A few questions I hope you can all answer? How much nowadays for a set of Williams alloys? Is it true that the Willams 3 wheels are wider than the 1 and 2's?

Secondly how bug a job is replacing the gear linkage on a Clio Williams (or any Clio I guess for that matter...)?

And last, how many miles does a Williams engine do on average assuming it has been serviced by the book etc?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Wheels vary in price quite widely - from £150 to £250 is what i would pay dependant on condition, rubber etc.

And no, wheels are all the same width.

Not that difficult job if you believe haynes, as its only 2 stars or something, never done it myself and wouldnt imagine its expensive to get a garage to do it either.

Williams engines can vary in mileage, but a well looked after one can go on forever. There are a couple of members on here with v high mileage valvers and they seem to be going well.

A full rebuild would be about £1300 so if you did buy one and want to rebuild it in the future....

A quick reply! Thanks for that. Any idea how much for a new linkage? Is it a specialised Williams part?

Also suspension wise what is exclusive to the Williams? Is it just the shocks?
