Never knew the Cup ran a cable throttle body! Would love one of those.

Pretty sure Its a gear selector rod. Dont buy a short shift one would be my advice. https://cliosport.net/threads/gear-selector-rod-help.820510/

I used this kit to refurb m rear calipers. Didnt need half of the stuff but its well worth having it just incase. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-2000-06-REAR-L-R-Brake-Caliper-Repair-Kit-Pistons-BRKP61-/273961041003?hash=item3fc959bc6b Sliders sold serprately if they are needed...

I recently borrowed my brothers 360bhp k04'd Mk5 golf gti for a couple of months. Felt like a time machine compared to the clio. When i got back into the clio it felt pedal powered by comparison.. it was only when i had it near the end of 3rd gear in the twisties that i realised its not that...

I was thinking break cleaner..

Stupid suggestion but if its clutch sticking could you spray something into the inspection hole on the bell housing in a hope to free it up?

A chisel worked for me when i did mine.

Did this ever get fixed?

Its a long shot but you could try turning it off.. then on again? Alot of the time this cures a range of anomalies for me.

It wont be engine mounts. At best i'd say its a combination of clutch, throw out bearing and cracked exhaust. Failing gearbox usually presents itself as a grinding between gears.

I suspect the belt would last longer than the tensioner and idlers.

It made sense for me as i'd let my policy renew at a silly price. Also they let me off the cancellation fee which was a bonus. So in 3 months i'll re-insure the car at nearly half the price.

Ive cancelled the clio's insurance as its a second car. Once the garage is tidy im taking the engine out to do a number of jobs that dont really need doing. Re-do timing Fix leak from VVT solenoid Replace speedo sensor Swap power steering pump Fit oil temp gauge Drill out a bolt that snapped...
