Gearbox was delivered today, on the wrong driveway further around the cul-de-sac. dragged that thing back to my garage lol. Its a later box and TCU from a 2018 trophy, so say on 30ish k. TCU whipped off and slapped onto the Clio. Reset everything along with the counter on the dash. Lets see...

So woke up early, car drove fine, set off at lunch time and it seemed a little sluggish but covered 75ish miles (temp getting up) started it about 30 min ago, full blown wobbly and not engaging anything, both shift drum actuators not finding position (very hot outside, car saying 34!) I had a...

probably has been, just not documented that I've seen. all looks pnp to be fair, we will see (y)

possibly 🤷‍♂️ id hope that the later the box, the more updated it was. That was my thinking anyway. Watch it bite me in the ass and the later stuff isn't backwards compatible..... 🤣😭

Fark it, ordered a complete box with clutch ecu and actuators from a 30k 2018 trophy. should give me all the spares I need/want

dc4 004 box seems to be Renault specific, the ford powershift is very similar though, and they have a worse reputation

doesn't look like it. Things to note it was hotter this afternoon than it has been The fault was the same as previously so rules out the external actuators Id guess (swapped them around but fault hasnt moved) so leans me towards the internal actuators ? or dodgy replacement capacitor? ill...

750miles..... and its done it again 😡

Finally found a front lower panel with both inspection hatches in. Lots of the RS' are missing them, though they are held in pretty well. Added some RTV to try and keep them in place and slapped them onto the Clio. Should, all being well, aid cooling some more as it completely closes off the rad...

Finished off the rear with the badge cover (i damaged it already as some tar remover blew onto it 🤦🏻‍♂️) and swapped to a black metal RS badge to match. Not sure how well the sticky bit will work but it it starts to fall off i can sort it..

AC has been a little lacking recently so took it in for a top up. Whilst there I got it up on the ramps and did some alignment, tried to balance up the castor but have ended up with a difference side to side, might look into new wishbones in the future but cant really feel it, 2.1deg of neg...

OH YES!!!!

Fingers crossed, track day should put some decent heat in there and test it out

and into the fire, ive also booked to do Castle Combe on the 8/7..... 2 weeks before CSF

500 miles no issues.... Took delivery of some badge covers (plus a few extras, thanks Paul) from @paul b of Diamond performance 👏 Excuse how dirty the rest of the car is. Straight out to clean the old badges and on with the covers 👌🏻 just need to whip the "Clio" off next and possibly get a...
