Long time no update. The Clio is still in my possesion and is going nowhere. Since my last update I had the MOT done and it required a rack boot ans cv boot refitting. The boot locking mechanism failed, I've ordered one from Tim Finch but havnt had chance to fit it. The starter motor finally...

When you're changing yoyr alternator, get to this point and the wrong one gets delivered... Think my time with this Clio is over. I'm going to strip some ofthe valuables and put standard on and get it sold. Its let me down too many times and I just don't trust it. I'm getting it MOT'd on...

Havnt got any currently. The bumper has missing paint on the nearside front and a million stone chips where its been badly painted and its too thin. Nsf quater panel has a massive crack and paint missing. Bonnet has a huge dent dead centre Paint bubbled on rear arch Bit of rust by the door...

This is the way im currenty tipping. Only thing i have to put back to standard are the wheels and shifter kit. My only issue is the bodywork is in somewhat poor condition so I'm not sure what i could get for it. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Hi everyone. I'm thinking of breaking or selling my Clio because I've got too much money it in, its had a few too many issues recently and i fancy something else. Is there any large benefit to breaking a 182? Im struggling to see where the money comes from apart from the obvious. Cup turinis...

New disc pads and caliper on the rears. Window regulator on the passenger side is fixed. Progress! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Been a bit naff on the Clio front. I found this air filter that appears to be genuine but I'm not 100% sure. It works and I'm keeping it. I had an incident at the last Autosolo. All sorted now with a bit of faffing around. Anyway I'm happy ish with the state of the Clio, I have a few jobs to...

So I'm at the stalemate with my Clio at the minute, I love the bloody thing but its cost me a small fortune since buying it back in April last year. I've got to the point where I'm considering cutting my losses. I'm just after some opinions on what it might be worth if I decided to call it a day...

I'm not entirely sure how its ended up that damaged in a few months admittedly. Must have been rubbing in the battery tray. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

The Ramair filter was a bit past it, only a few months old so its most likely my fault for not mounting it properly. I ordered a pipe to replace the original intake and a filter for the breather a few weeks ago so I decided to fit all that Jazz. Filter is tie wrapped out of danger for now and...

Amazing day, clutch cable bracket came off... nothing to do with the clutch change of course... t***s Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

My only guess is the gearbox mount because I had the clutch done and the bloke that did it is a bit if a c**k Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Rear beam polybushed today, I was told it could be done without removing the beam but we decided for a few extra bolts it wasn't worth faffing around. Alot easier than I expected but on the passenger side we dropped the whole mount and the Captive bolt spun so we ended up welding 2 of them. The...

Put a 1st lambda on last week and it's fixed it 90%. Havnt had the "limiter effect" since and only an occasional misfire. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Got to putting the first lambda on and it's fixed the cold running issue 90%. No more limiter feel, occasional misfire. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
