Black cage in my Iceberg.

Best Colour for these and looks a very nice example. The sound of the Akrapovic exhaust is nice. My 220 Trophy is the only car I have regretted selling.

Yes, the explanation is in the video.

Just watched this video of a Clio 182 bought for £100

Looks spot on. I like how you have so much enthusiasm to make it perfect, I haven't driven my 172 since November when the alternator packed up at Oulton. Took the bumper off today to make a start on replacing it, only to be met with a nice rusty bumper bracket and a pulley that seems to be...

Some of the Fiesta's were well sorted and were going well. One was trying too hard and slightly exceeded track limits. Shame about the Flame red Clio yesterday and the BMW.

I was there in my silver 172, @finch wxm. I did see your car parked up. I took a sneaky photo:D

I fitted aftermarket pumps and they leaked. Was able to buy just the bung new from Renault which were nearly as dear as the pump, it didn't link after that. This is the part number 7700431722

Changed the Climate Panel Facia and the trim piece above it to one's I had flocked. No more Sticky parts.

Nice to see it was a very simple fix this time. Looking good after all your recent hard work.

@Big_Steve_T Have a look on Pure's website and the instructions for his aircon delete kit, I think it shows how to remove it. It's near the end of the document. https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/docs/fitting-guides/172_aircon_pulley_instructions.pdf

@SharkyUK You can't give up now!!. Isn't that a small bump in the road for this car?. I do hope you keep it. Even brand new cars can give headaches from time to time believe you me.

I bought the same part number you have quoted from my local dealer. Yes, they are expensive but at least you know they will fit & work straight away.

Like Mazz has said I am not sure of the pikey route as I had the purple plug just dangling, I just didn’t have the switch.

Above the clutch pedal, basically it's the same as the brake light switch. From memory there should be a purple plug loose above the clutch pedal if switch isn't installed. This is the part number I have written down for the switch I bought 7700431512

Thanks, I found out today that the specs have been changed and their won't be the wiring for the right hand side. I like the effort you have put into your car by changing to later spec fog lights, looks so much better. I miss my 220 Trophy.

Anyone with a MK5 Clio RSline can you please check how many of your reversing lights work. On my car (69 Plate) both mine work but on my wife's car only the left hand one works (21 Plate),. Dealer is saying this is correct but I am not convinced. It's not a simple case of replacing a bulb either...

I just find it drives better in normal mode. Rarely use eco on either of our Clio's.

Mine has cameras in the door mirrors which are brilliant when parallel parking :) . Glad you are enjoying it, but take it off eco mode.

@FPummell @Jon Wright Me and Mark have just booked Donington Park for the 25th April, do you want to join us?. It's Through MSVT but it won't let me post the correct link.

I watched that video a few weeks ago. Also another good watch👍

Enjoyed watching your review Sam, One of the best Renaultsport uk track days was the last one @ Rockingham. Seems a waste of a circuit, with the popularity of track days currently there must be money in it to re-open it. I have a I 20N on order so hopefully it will live up to all the hype.

Does look amazing Jon, Fair play to you.

@t90_lle The gearbox Mount looks like the Vibra technics I have fitted.

Funny that when I saw the notification for this thread, my first thought was that it had been sold:D

@Rsline_trev So did it arrive today or has it been delayed further?

👍Poetry in motion. Glad you are enjoying the car after all the setbacks.

Hi Ian, no I bought it from Renault Orpington in November 2018. I do believe though that it was a showroom car as I did find a photo of it in the showroom on there website. It had 21 miles on the clock when I picked it up.

@RSRowe And a lot of people who had never driven it slatted it for the auto box without having first hand experience. I liked it and it's replacement is also a Renault with an edc box, which is a nice box. If you use the paddles it changes are very smooth and way quicker than a manual.

This was my Trophy. Totally regret selling it.
