    Standard Boot Tool Kit

    Yes the brackets are there as some work involves supporting the engine from above in the mk3 197/200 by the Renault service manual. The Clio 172 engines had the brackets already fitted from the factory and the mk3 has stuff in the way so cant be factory mounted.

    Standard Boot Tool Kit

    I think all you should expect in a Mk4 200 RS, There is no spare wheel so no jack just a wheel brace so you can check wheel nut tightness. The engine is different so the bolts and brackets are no good. The jack would be a standard Clio one so look for a Mk4 Clio jack and check the wheel bolts, I...

    Dodgy wipers

    I would check this out to be honest if you don't have a diagnostic tool to disconnect the wiper motor from the linkage arm, and you can check how the motor functions and that it stops in the same "parked" position. From there, you can try and move the linkage by hand so you can feel how free it...

    Clio RS200?

    Your boot is going to look like this underneath so a standard Clio cup spoiler is not an option for you unless you swap the boot lid for a flat type.

    Look on the forum for "near side knock" the noise can also be the bottom ball joints or lower arm rear bush or the top mount on the front shock. Look for a pothole and get the work paid for, I don't know about availability but the front steering rack comes complete with inner and outer track rod...

    Engine Overheating... briefly?

    The resistor drops the power to the fan so it turns at a lower speed the relay overrides that with full power high speed fan. Good that you don't have to worry about fixing it, but it seems now like you have a better (easier) problem that needs fixed. Forget the wiring at the moment so it's...

    Engine Overheating... briefly?

    You might have bought a problem engine car keep that in mind. 1. Why was the radiator changed. 2. Was it changed to a new one or a used one, the forward radiator is the air con and the rear is the water. 3. 3/4 mark is way too hot for a 197 and a warning message is way too much as well, the...

    Cam timing

    There is a cam locking tool and both cams are level, there is a group N timing tool for the 182 Clio that I think advances the exhaust but the map has to match. I have never seen a 197 group N timing tool. Video of a 182 timing belt change they guy uses the group N tool for it after adding 197 cams
