118k as of last month. Still going strong (touch wood)!

Oil service, air filter, throttle body clean and new plugs. Sweet as a nut!

These look excellent! The seats, steering wheel and shifter combination look ideal too.

Dipped beams are H7 on standard headlights (not xenon), but you'll need variants at the correct voltage (12v); http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2003/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/lighting1/car-bulb/?48177022N&1&af23388f4e0cffcb83d0fe7fcaf5fb10d194d05e&000384

I've been experiencing a similar issue of late. Coil pack all good, leads new and plugs NGKs with life left in them still.

Agreed, sounds like normal 172/182 behaviour. Seems to be most noticeable at this time of year when the temps are between 10-20C.

Parked next to this Trophy on Thursday afternoon. Does it belong to anyone on here?

One of the most unique and interesting colours applied to any car. Suits the Ph2 Clio particularly well of course!

Rubbish. The service interval for cambelt and kit has always been 72,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. It's the aux belt which requires renewal every 36,000 miles. You shouldn't have bought the car if you were unhappy with the service requirements.

I got this one...

100% engine mounts. I ended up having to replace the upper engine and upper gearbox mounts as well as treating the dogbone mount to the some Powerflex bushes.

That piece of threaded bar sticking out isn't the original design intent. This is; Is the joint loose?

What a bargain! And good on you for saving it from going the scrappers - it's got loads of potential :)

Extra BHP sill trims also

100% this. It'll save you going to the hassle of replacing the other side and getting the tracking done again 9 months (or whenever the other side starts showing signs of play) down the line.

£600 all in

Nah, pretty straightforward. Undo locking nut on track rod, undo nut from ball joint to hub carrier, unwind track rod end off track rod counting number of turns. Put some copper grease on male threaded parts to make life easier in future, wind new track rod ends onto track rods by the same of...

Cit-Ren in Brooke, Norfolk do cambelt servicing. My Cup went in to have its cambelt, dephaser, waterpump and oil changed and has run faultessly since. Several other members on here have had positive experiences also.

After the restoration, make sure you seal them with some anti-UV product and re-apply it perdiodically otherwise they'll fog up again in furture

I have Pagid discs and pads on all corners and they've never let me down over the last 2 and a half years of road use.

My avatar, but in larger size! and from another perspective

That kit doesn't contain the mount that DannyR is referring to. Item 23 on the image below shows the Renault variant; Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it.

See posts #16 and #24 in this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/f4r-camshaft-lock-tool-mot-1509-hire.380377/ I would suggest taking your car to a specialist to if you're not sure what to do with these.

Interesting shots! Definitely picked the best Clio variant :smile:

I know of someone who owns a Porsche Cayman R, but never uses it apart from the odd track day in the summer. Sounds like this Inferno gets more usage in fairness!

It does, and to avoid drain on the battery it's recommended that you remove these devices after a trip.

There you go - it's amazing what a 2 second Google search will find

I had the same problem for my MOT. Solution; strap the arm of compensator valve up to the rear floor with a zip tie. The MOT tester said the braking performance had been 'transformed' and passed the car.

Does the temp gauge needle rise/fall depending on speed? Either way, it should sit in the middle once the engine is up to temperature and stay there if behaving correctly.
