    The 200 Project!

    Belts done in 2017 so got a few years, not sure on clutch but feels good as does the box with no crunches so far as I can tell! Paintwork will be spot on once I sort a small patch on the rear bumper and give it a proper polish!

    The 200 Project!

    Car has gone in today for full service and alternator fitting. I hope after all this I might actually get to drive it! Not even had chance to take it over 3k rpm yet given the issues! Fingers crossed!

    Caliper pins - my view.

    Someone's made a right f*cking mess of my calipers removing them before. I think I'm going to buy new ones and get these sold off for someone to refurb.

    Alternator gone!

    Same here, just bought a new alternator. From what I have read make sure you get a genuine Renault item. Hoping to get mine fitted this week and fingers crossed it sorts the issue! Hard work without power steering isn't it!

    The 200 Project!

    Happy to announce my new Clio 200 Track / Daily bargain. Whilst the car is probably a little unnecessary I somehow managed to convince myself a need a track car (complete novice) and suitable daily for my 20 mile B road commute. Ultimately it will be a second car to my 718 Cayman but given I...

    Battery Voltage / New Alternator Prices?

    Removed the connector from terminal. Hard to see the fuses, do these look ok or blown? The right side looks very white and some rust on both.

    Sorry, see what you mean about the big red connector now, where is the fuse on this located? Can it be checked?

    Still the same with the extra load, dropping under 12v with radio, lights and windows going. Looks like the alternator is shagged. I'll get a replacement ordered up asap.

    Ok I will try again with more load. It’s in Monday for a service anyway so will get it checked but given the dash lights it seems like there’s a fault somewhere.

    Battery Voltage / New Alternator Prices?

    That was my thinking, ah well at least the battery was only £50. Can get reconditioned alternator and new belt for £250 from Renault Parts Direct. That's for a genuine renault item. Does that sound about right? https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/engine-parts/renault-clio-197-200-alternator/

    Battery Voltage / New Alternator Prices?

    With engine off = 12.45 Engine on idle / small revs = 12.05-12.23 Low Battery & Stop Sign etc. Does it never to be driven a bit before the alternator kicks in or should this happen straight away? I presume I have the multimeter setup correctly etc.
