I didn't know Skittles was her lol Sorry Terri!

What's your excuse for previous meets then? :P What colour are your cars? I'll keep an eye out round Plymouth.

Who's attending then?

I'm a possible for June 6th. Should be okay but I'll let you nearer the time!

Fine by me! Once there is a confirmed date let me know and I'll advertise it on RSMegane as well. There's a guy with a 330bhp R26.R who is interested in coming along.

deadmau5 - Plymouth

Where are you based Nyall?

I'll be there for this! Need to be back in Plymouth for 5pm though so may have to leave slightly earlier.

Yes I did sorry.

If anyone is after this setup then PM me as I'm selling my car so it's no longer required. It's done about 1000 miles so is practically brand new. £30 delivered ONO.

Thank you Neil. I'll let you know how I get on.

Does anyone insure their Clio on a classic policy? I've got the opportunity to buy my girlfriend's car for next to nothing so I was thinking of using that for commuting and then the Clio for weekends. It's a Ph1 so is nearly 15 years old. I don't have a garage which might be an issue. For the...

I used to have an R27 and honestly prefer it in every way to my Ph1. It did cost four times as much though... The 197s are considerably more confidence inspiring and do feel safer on the road. I had a decat magnex exhaust with no centre silencer and to me, it sounded awesome as it would pop...

Have a look at the StrongFlex alternative. It's quite a bit cheaper and seems to be just as good quality as the powerflex I had on there before.

McGherkin and I will be slightly late to Carkeel sorry!

Thank you Dan. The tensioner is less than a year old. Do you think it's still likely to be the issue? What do you think it would be about the tensioner that would cause the issue? Cheers.

The infamous crank pulley... Did it take the cam belt with it?

Since the weather got cold in December my aux belt started giving a little chirp on start up. Gradually it got worse and when dry steering in the morning the steering would be 'lumpy'. I had the aux belt changed which cured the problem for a a month. Now it's back with a vengeance. This morning...

My aux belt squeals like mad, however when I turn the cabin fans off the squealing stops almost completely!

How did you get on Diagro? Changing my aux belt and pas pump this weekend.

@TarkMalbot can you buy that rubber separately? Do you know what it's called? I envisioned something similar when I fitted mine but the only thing I could think of was draught excluder type stuff.

I'm not surprised that it wasn't the timing. You don't become the 'go to' guy for clio/meg engine conversions by getting something like the timing of a stock engine wrong.

1) Crank Pulley is squeaking. Getting it replaced next week. 2) Mysterious knock from front off side when lifting off throttle at low speeds. Possibly driveshaft or engine mount. 3) Off side driveshaft cv boot has a tiny nick in it and a small amount of cv grease has leaked out. 4) Passenger...

Could be an exhaust heat shield.

Yep! Typical Renault.

I wasn't criticising the AD08R; they are a great tyre which I was very impressed by. It was more a commendation of the A048.

The original 197 wheels aren't Raiders. Raiders were the the brushed face ones available on the 200. I belive the original wheels were just called 'sport' wheels.

I thought the AD08Rs were good until I went in anther clio directly after (both on track) with A048s. The A048s blow the AD08Rs away.

Argh! I've driven quick cars with s**t tyres before; awful! You have to tell your insurers if you put a different panel filter in but if you take off your Michelin Pilot Sports and replace them with some Linglong Love you long time plastic Chinese remoulds then that's okay... Mad!
