    Tyre recommendations – worth going premium?

    When I used to work at a garage our cost from supplier (Stapleton's) was always more than average Joe could buy them from camskill (including delivery!) and at the time we added £25 markup per tyre, with "free" fitting and balancing. So didn't matter if it was a £50 budget or a £350 super wide...

    Tyre recommendations – worth going premium?

    For me, Michelin on everything, even if you disregard the difference in grip/safety... Steering feels is better They look better They wear brilliantly I've never had one blow out during a pot hole (said it now 🙄) Of course other premium brands are available that will be as good/better/close...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Every time i say no more money spent on this thing.... Really good condition "yellow dots", got a set of Megane plastics coming as that's all I could source, see how they fit or maybe make something better! Ironically i ended up with this for some reason, and the driving position is much...

    Thoughts on this Phase 1

    Id want a good look at it as that red circle looks like the telltale rust bubbles and if you can see it there then there's probably no sill left. And the green circled bits, those are never body coloured these days, especially not THAT bright, that's where the rusty water from what's left of...

    Renault Clio MK2 signals left whether I indicate left or right after hazard warning switch played with

    Yeah as above I've had it where it only indicates left, removing and resetting the connectors from the uch seems to stop it enough to get home but then it comes back, I'm not sure if it's the power cycle or the wiggling of the PCB with a dry solder joint or somthing! It's not a permanent fix...

    (Mk2) jacking up from front/rear end?

    For me the box sections that run down the centre of the car with a block of wood as above. You can use the subframe but jack it on the bolts at each side, not the actual subframe. At the rear I use the beam unless I'm doing springs etc then I'll use the rear jacking points but both sides at the...

    Gordini why do people not like them?

    most didnt have cup pack colour is nice, stripes are naff. interior seems to wear terribly and then i think the big issue that puts people off... THE WHEELS!

    How easy would it converting 182 back from full track back to road

    Fairly easy as most of the parts are shared with the non RS. If the dash loom is still all intact but dash removed/ modified just get a dash from a non RS, you will need a climate control heater box and control panel if these have been removed. Or you could likely use a non interior loom and...

    Leaky skirt

    Yeah it will be holding dirt behind the arch liner/wing, common to start rusting there too due to it

    Renault Clio mk4 gt wing mirrors

    It looks like the facelift switch has a small control module on the bottom, I wouldn't be surprised if you can just fit the switch to activate it!

    Renault Clio mk4 gt wing mirrors

    Does your car currently have manual electric folding mirrors? (mirror joystick to 6oclock position to fold)

    New member saying hi - Clio MK4 GT line

    Welcome! Auto folding mirrors should be possible I believe they were standard on the facelift and the manual folding mirrors were an option on pre facelifts (you might already have that?)
