ha thanks for the responses guys. The manifold incident was actually the welding around one of the branches (there wasn't any basically) so the whole thing had to be replaced...there was a full 360º gap right round the whole thing, unfortunately it wasn't just the flexi's. That particular job...

After spending close to £5000 since July 1st 2012 on keeping the Clio road-worthy...my MOT bill has just come back...£630. Apparently there's "play in both front ball joints". This comes after the £1200 bill as my Christmas present for a new exhaust manifold (which Renault did pay 65% of...

From £9k too worthless in 6 seconds. Our Clio's are the last of a dying breed, definatly worth keeping them looked after.

To be honest id rather walk or crawl or even be dragged along with a rope than drive a Renault again so yeh, vote swift!

aye it sucks but thats the reality im faced with, cant do much to change it right now. Its annoying, check all my posts on here and youll probably see i have every other car you can acually get except for a few of the RS models, shame they've let me down :( Thankfully work have given me their...

urgh right, update time. New manifold all in = £1,264.02 Renault agreed to pay 65% My final bill all in = £442.41 Its splendid Renault are paying, i cant complain there as the car is outside warranty however, the manifold itself has a 100k mile / 7 year warranty. Anyway the manifold...rolled...

Driving home Friday, banging / popping noise started. Struggled to top 30mph which isn't a steep ask from a 2009 Clio Cup with 46k miles on the clock. Garage today : Exhaust manifold is hanging off, "wear and tear" they say. £859.00 all in to replace. To put things into perspective, last...

If your Clio doesn't have a cup spoiler, it looks unfinished. I always wear my smug face when i see one out and about and its either plain at the back or has that awful sprint thing.

the Clio every time, Audi's are driven by a certain group you don't want to be in (atleast in Bradford anyway).

also the last fiesta st was embarasingly aweful. Your right with the list but way too old, they havent done anything decent since "the good old days", they dont havce a clue these days at all. Looking at this new Fiesta, nothings changed.

hahahaha thats really funny. I feel if i express my honest opinion ill be banned from this forum. Lets say its a car which looks like its got downs and is designed for someone who doesn't actually have a gear shiftey arm...as the arm rest is far too short. Ford don't have a clue when it comes...

i've given up with gaming now, the industry died a long time ago.

more common than my Clio then :)

the clios engine "ate some valves" according to their guys hehe poor clio :( I've got some 800 photo's from the whole weekend, any requests let me know. I've snapped the clio from every angle inside and out bonnet up an all, looked funny. The best sounding cars there were one of the Seat...

as proved by 5th gear, if you want to physically be faster, get tuition from a professional. Mods generally feel no different unless severe (ie: replace engine, major lightness etc). as a general rule your exhausts don't give you any more grunt and the rolling road prints show remaps at around 3...

id loose the partner, straight up show her the door. say you lost the car and went ahead, worst case you split up (which is likely based on couples these days), youll feel silly and have egg on your face. ME, my job, my car (greater than) everything else. I've done the whole house thing...

Yeah mate stood next to the Mosler a minute ago, wasnt in good shape though. We watched quali, was very cold :-( By the way...there is a little Clio 200 after all. Ive got loads of pics for upload soon. Anyway sat in tent now...cold...windy...wet.... :-)

Haha your brave sleeping in a clio!!! Surely tou dont have Recaro's....that would be murder! I dont understand the car listings as on Monday it listed a clio cup, now its a Leon :-(. Yeh the Mosler was described as "dead" on the Pistonheads forums, im same thats what i wanted to see (or hear)...

im going down with a mate and camping the weekend, look out for a blue 197 cup :D By the way 2 interesting things, the Mosler ISNT there as was written off in Spa last week, also there IS a clio Cup running with a "James May" driving it...

aye they actually have "Renault Sport" sort of printed on them (lord knows why as you wont see it after a week of driving). I'm sure someone knows the part number for them. When i was tightening the brackets, the spanner i used flew out my hand and landed on the underside of the diffuser, was...
