I cant claim any expert knowledge, but you seem to have the exact same symptoms I had when my piston rings went although my compression test showed my 3rd piston about 15% worse than the other (cant remember actual figures). But that was after a while of me thinking it might just be normal and...

This is where I got mine, still not cheap but better than £200 a side

Don't think its an automated thing, might have to wait for a mod/admin to log on and change you to a paid member

I did have a look around to see if I had any oil leaking from anywhere and couldn't find any, but did find my AC is leaking but its never worked anyway:tearsofjoy:

I'm just hoping it might be another little 'quirk' :smile:

The smell is only there when driving quite hard till I hear the little beep to change gears. recon-ed engine went in a few months ago to quickly deal with fried rings and constant misfire and thought the smell was just the result of the amount of oil that was getting burnt. But with the new...

I would also vote on the dephaser if you had timing etc done but not the dephaser. seen a couple threads about here and maybe cliosport talking about a rattle from a dephaser. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to shed more light on it though

Don't want to add confusion of what it could be, reading again now you saying there isn't a crunch and its doing it with all gears above 30mph does not sound like the normal syncro issue myself and lots of others have run into

Not sure if RPD do them or not but worth an ask but you are looking for: 7701069141 - Rear left caliper carrier 7701069142 - Rear right caliper carrier You can get unpainted ones for a tenner less but I found them here, might find them cheaper with a bit of searching

I can vouch for the refurb units from RPD as well. great quality and price, especially when you get the £25 back when you send the other caliper back. although slightly annoying that one of my calipers is obviously newer than the rest . Can I ask what the "symptoms" (lack of a better word) for...

Syncro's are most likely your problem if you can select the gears fine driving normally. Common problem on these boxes, going with a rebuild with the new strong syncro's solves the problem but its not exactly cheap. There was a guy here doing rebuilds but I can't remember is forum name or if he...

I'm wishing for a RS16 production run as a goodbye for the Clio but I'm not holding out hope. I would be at Renault as soon as I can ready to PX my 200 if they do though and I agree with the potential shown with the e-Sport, I am most concerned with the range and performance ratio but I don't...

So it looks like the Clio RS is possibly being replaced by the Zoe RS. What is other people's thoughts on this? I'm interested in what they are going to do to make it a 'hot' hatch but I have never been a fan of the Zoe's blobby styling. Upset that they have seemed to completely axe the Clio...

Okay so my thermostat does need replacing. is there anything wrong with driving my car as is? as Xmas leaves the car funds quite low. I always wait for the car to get up to temp before I start stretching it's legs, unless I've lost my patience with the stupid amount of roadwork and 20mph speed...

Thanks for the replies and apologies for hijacking the thread :coldsweat: But I'm a bit confused now as to the 2 slightly different responses, going by turkie's pic: my car never goes below #2 but will sit perfectly on #2 for the majority of driving unless doing any of what I mentioned in my...

Should it be there all the time? as mine only makes it to the second line if i'm idling, in stop start traffic or driving the car very hard. otherwise is sits on that first line when doing normal driving cos it has been that way since I got the car, never questioned it till now. What do I need...

Another one spotted at my local Tesco, seen your 200 in the car park a few times, always super clean. should really start grabbing a quick pic for these.

the price difference is the main reason I'm looking at these over the the "genuine" ones. as with a boss and a Volantech panel adds another £100 on the price. guess it will come down to how much money do i have left over after Xmas shopping :grimacing:

Has anyone got any experience with either this or this? I'm on the fence about getting one but the fact it's a replica has be a bit worried about the quality of it.

So it's the bracket holding the ABS sensor that is the issue it looked like it rusted away a bit and bent towards the disc slightly. For now I hammered back the bottom where you can see it was obvious it was rubbing to stop the noise so the car is actually drivable. And now to find a cheap...
