    MOT Time

    I’d be very cautious about an mot pre test, the items they have listed may be advises, and if you’ve just bought the car it maybe that the rear discs just need use and that will clean them up a bit, did they say what was actually up with each of the individual items? Or just give you a potential...

    N/S Front plastic wheel liner front bit

    That works well, it works even better albeit a bit messier if you pu sealant a strip of similar plastic over the crack... that way it gets massive stiffness back and is more or less like the ordinary part and as strong, cable tie repairs like that don’t seem as stiff

    B14’s

    I’ve never seen a coilover that comes with a gaiter, happy to be told otherwise mind, rears should fit as you use standard mounts, I’d also presume you could cut down your factory bumpstops to use depending on how low you go, they work well just floating on the damper rod generally, although I’d...

    MY 2009 SILVER CLIO 200

    we used to get a 'coherance' fault on Peugeots on the front and it felt like the abs kicked in at slow speeds when the abs ring was cracked, it saw the crack as a longer gap between teeth and a lock up, hence kicking the abs in for a short period or it would also appear when the rear sensor...

    Radio question?

    Chances are the amplifier in the base of the bee-sting aeriel is goosed, my 200 was the exact same, I ended up removing the factory item and replacing it with a amazon special dab aerial and a pioneer dab, see my build/progress thread for details

    Yellow Oil Filler/Window Washer Caps

    Alcohol is as good as anything to get mucky marks off, and then a plastic treatment of some kind I’d have thought, silicone spray is as good as anything or wd40 if your tight!

    Aftermarket headunit for Clio 200

    I know the steering wheel control provides a switched live, illumination etc from the data on the can bus system and switches the radio off when you open the door, there may well be as you say an ignition live in there somewhere, but if not there is definitely one in the centre console for the...

    Aftermarket headunit for Clio 200

    I take it you’ve not put a multimeter on the iso plugs behind the stereo and checked all powers are in the right places? Or have you used a steering wheel remote control that provides accesory and permanent live in vaguely the correct places?

    Exterior door handles

    rpd are a Renault dealer and will get you anything, send them an email also it doesn't mean anything as you can replace just the cap to give a car the delocked look, better to ask if the part is from a car with keycards, they are all keyless afaik

    Wheel spacers and handling

    were they? so all cup cars ran the same spacers? news to me... and even if they were all the same your so right, a race car would be setup to handle poorly of course :good: I will also add that I said to the guy to try it, that's the only correct answer as what suits one wont suit the rest

    Wheel spacers and handling

    :sunglasses: hub centric spacers are not dangerous! that's a stupid thing to say! exactly the same fixings as your standard wheel to the hub, and being hubcentric they locate on the hub and also the wheel to the spacer... what they do do is alter all the damper/hub/steering axis geometry at...

    Electrical Fault - Low Battery

    its not a low battery light but the alternator light he refers to, its most likely a charging fault due to a bad connection or a broken wire normally in French cars, im presuming this as he mentions no issues with starting at all :) the alternator affects all the things he mentions...

    Electrical Fault - Low Battery

    check voltages from battery to alternator and all junctions in between with load on, ie running with headlights/heater blower motor etc fitted, the battery light is nothing to do with the battery, its an alternator light and charging fault indicator, it could also be due to a under bonnet...
