The Clio went for an MOT today and passed with no advisories. Last year it had an advisory for having no rear seats. This year the MOT test centre did not seem to mind that the most of interior of the car was missing.

We have decided that our gearbox issues could be down to a faulty clutch master cylinder. The clutch pedal has very little resistance if depressed slowly, but works just about at low revs. We are now on the hunt for a new clutch master cylinder. I think that the OEM Renault part is NLA.

@EthanMenace has 3D printed a bracket to hold the 12v supply that used to sit in the centre console by the handbrake.

Now the 12v supply will not float around in the passenger side footwell.

The suspension has been serviced and is back on the car now.

The gearbox is playing up but was okay to drive a few miles to the MOT test centre to get the MOT done. The box gets worse when it is downshifting quickly at high revs. Low rev changes are less crunchy. We needed the car to be “drivable” so that if we attempt to fix the gearbox we can test it on the road.

Ethan has sourced a second hand clutch master cylinder now so we will wait for it to arrive and see when it is installed if it changes anything.
