    Torque-problems at Low RPM (2300-2500rpm)

    It will almost definitely be the exhaust. Sometimes a new maf sensor helps (if yours is knackered) but usually it's the extra exhaust flow making and less back pressure I put a centre silencer back in mine and it went away completely A good map is probably needed for exhaust mods

    Brake pipes/hoses

    Well I've worked out that the 4 hose kit only replaces the short body to beam hoses on the rear. What's the point ? Still have rubber hoses at caliper end ? Does no one make a 4 hose kit that goes straight from the solid line to the caliper ? So with a female din end and a male din end ...

    200 cup front door/wing damage

    I'd be making a complaint and going to the ombudsman about the value they're offering. Where are they finding undamaged 200 cups for that price ? I'm sure there might be a couple but it's far from an average value. I was lucky when my MK2 golf got wrote off as they offered quite a bit more...

    'Total Loss' Clio 197 F1

    Fight It. The 'engineers' report should say why they think it's too dangerous to be put back on the road but you can get a second report. If youre claiming off her insurance which you should be then you have rights and can make decisions. If gone through your own it's trickier
