After much back & forth, whether I was going to sell the Clio due to the arrival of a new car, I've decided I won't sell for the foreseeable. I've been driving the Clio for too long, too many miles, to just let it go for what they go for. It's so rare in a lifetime to have a car you drive daily...

I'm booked in with Engine Dynamics, it should be very interesting to try a remap. After having driven the car daily for over 100k miles I feel like I know it inside out so should notice any difference.

I have a reoccurring emissions warning and even though it passes emissions testing it seems to be the pre cat (akrapovic evo system) rather than the sensor playing up. I figure I can get this mapped out and may as well finally have the car remapped at the same time and looking for suggestions?

I did wonder how it could be that far out and not be in pieces. I work with the tech everyday and he's a sound guy so don't think he was knowingly BSing, perhaps just not as familiar with the mechanism as specialists, even though he's replaced plenty according to Renault's workshop manual. I...

The timing belt was due on the 197 and as I'm going to sell the car in the new year was going to just change the scheduled items. I then decided on also changing the water pump and dephaser, as it would rarely clatter after parking on a steep hill and changing the pump will help resale. The...

Hi guys, I was wondering what size sleeve would fit the standard 197 exhaust? Thanks for any pointers

Over 100,000 miles here and no crunching so far, I've picked my moments for pushing it hard though. The clutch still seems to have plenty of life too, although the release bearing can be a little noisy in Winter on cold starts.

Mine is so intermittent I haven't even tried lubricating it yet. Will update either way... Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk

Has anyone found if the 340mm ones are the correct fitment? With things heating up I found that when I switch on the A/C the radiator fan is making a squeaky noise, it's intermittent but would like to know which is a good replacement fan in case a bit of lube on the bearing doesn't sort it.

I can't see the option to delete my own posts/threads?

Has anyone found a decent tablet mount which can be mounted on the clock display trim? I'm thinking a suction mounted one could work with the tablet/mount resting on the dash so it doesn't move too much.

I have a slight leak around the back of the block on the O/S which makes it's way to the undertray, I think it's the head gasket on that corner. If the cam sensor seal is leaking onto the loom it would most likely run past the block and I found ended up on the undertray and lower gearbox...

This noise is really quite strange, definitely seems to be the slave cylinder but it only makes the noise if I start the engine cold with the clutch to the floor, then the noise stays whenever I use the clutch, until warm. If I don't touch the clutch pedal on start up then no noise. When I do...

It's worth checking your cam sensor seal, it's the other side of the inlet manifold from where you've highlighted but the oil can run and pool across the manifold. Mine weeps a bit so use a bit of silicone sealant now and then, until I find a replacement o ring which fits snug. The first time my...

Yes please mate, if you drop me a message whenever is convenient to dig it out. Thanks for the help again!
