And so here it is, maybe my final post here ? The Clio is finally gone, and while I’m sad to see the end of a chapter, I’m happy it ended in the best possible way. As mentioned before, I gave the clio to a colleagues brother who fell in love with it even in its smashed out state, and I couldn’t...

Haha no way ! Somebody on YouTube did ask me if they could use it, chances are it’s the same guy. How people finds that sort of stuff so entertaining is beyond me haha Anyway, hi ! I’ve been Clio less since January, however the car never left. I have the privilege of living in a place where...

excellent to see the car live on !!

This [emoji772] They looked identical to me too.

Haha I’ll be breaking mine soon so just shout if you need anything. I have normal 172/182 shaft on the “wet” pass side, 172 cup (no centre bearing) on the driver side. Abs bearing topic: it varies depending on what you have to start with. All I had to do was changing the rear abs sensors to...

Crazy prices right .. done are the days of mk2 for £50, I swear some people have been paid to take them away in the past [emoji38] Still not sure what to do with mine [emoji848]

[emoji38] And back we are from a fun weekend at cadwell. I had an open pit lane booked with Javelin with some credit I had from a previous event I couldn’t attend. Always wanted to experience cadwell park, looks brilliant fun, and it was. The days leading to it where spent mostly sourcing...

Booked Cadwell for the 27th with Javelin, should be fun !

Just to keep the diary up to date, I’ll “log” some of the issues I’ve had during the last few months. As previously said, the car has driven an absurd amount of miles between June and July because of a stupid long commute. First problem was with my rear wheel bearings. I’ve had 2 fail in a...

I think it’s called Road Trip? Had it for years [emoji38] If you don’t pay for the premium Version you can only log one car. Works for me

Nothing really from the driver seat. Same exact artificial throttle response, same exact 80ish hp “performance”. I am more interested on the impact this will or will not have on fuel economy, which has always been the main point of the car. Quite happy with it now, however I feel these are...

Yo! Update on the life of Padre Clio. Last week I finally got round changing the cambelt. This is officially the second cambelt this car gets in my ownership, although long time traders will (won’t) remember I had to do it twice with the red car as I forgot to fit the lower timing cover after...

I want the £25 map thanks.

When I said “official oil consumption figures” I didn’t mean they came from Renault [emoji38] It’s just the exact calculated consumption after topping up the entire month. I am dropping the kat soon to have a look, whenever I manage to actually move in my new house this will happen. Probably at...

So, time to update as life has changed both for me and for the little car that propels my ass from A to B, the diesel clio also known as Padre Clio, which is a funny sounding profanity that you won’t understand unless you’re Italian. Ironic way to start after becoming a British citizen two weeks...
