    boot stuck shut

    If you take out the switch you can seperate the rubber from the plastic and you will see the contacts inside are probably all wet and green corroded looking, dry it out and loads of electrical contact cleaner should help it a lot.

    Suspension noise or is something inside the cabin noisy? (update: now with video)

    Rediculous Labour Quotes?

    Yes it would, its definetly not just a matter of "a couple of bolts and away you go" its a days work just to remove and refit a box in a 197...and then you gotta strip the box and all bearings seals pins etc should be replaced whenever a box is opened as for the timing belt kits on ebay etc...

    Supercharged RS200 underway :D

    HaHa...thats my point...220bhp could be very usuable for someone who uses there clio everyday.... 250bhp is pushing the limits of standard parts, so why pay as said 4 grand for it to blow the engine or box or clutch etc in 6 months... 4k would buy ya an old turbo jap car with loads of...

    Supercharged RS200 underway :D

    Id be happy with a genuine real life 220bhp, as said below it would be such an increase over standard genuine bhp it would feel really fast, and hopefully at 220bhp still reliable enough and driveable enough to be used normally (normanly been not snapping your thunmbs from torque steer every...

    sensors

    Are you sure!!! Each valve neck will be a hard metal one if you do, not the usual black rubber one... If you do you dont have to go to renault but best to mention it to the tyre place because they can be snapped when taking off a tyre if there not carefull

    bye bye clio, new car pics

    Very nice...love the seats...... word of advice if these have the U.P.C(fuse board) under the bonnet to the right of the battery then get at it and wrap it in plastic or put a bag around it as one of the biggest problems with the standard version of that megane is the upc getting wet and it...
