I'd go with option 1 and finish the job Renault should have done in the first place. It's barely noticeable with the wheels on anyway.

- 2.00 is about right Jon, should be great on the track.

OPs fault. He never stated which model he had. We're not mind readers. Just good citizens trying to help a brother out.

I think the general consensus was Gtechniq C4. I’ve been using Meguiars Ultimate Black but it’s not long lasting on exterior parts.

Yes.

I suppose it depends how rotten the flange is (that sounds so wrong). This is the same kit. 20 minutes max.

Is yours phase 1 or 2?

I haven’t used Powerflex but did 35,000 on strong flex bushes which were similar grade. They were still tight when I sold it.

They did yes. N/A by the looks of it but a couple of part numbers for you to search on. 8201270548 and 7701416287. There's one showing on Renbreakers here - https://www.renaultbreakers.co.uk/store/Renault-Clio-MK2-2001-2006-Rear-Boot-Tailgate-Floor-Anti-Slip-Mat-Cover/ Not sure if it's still...

Wow, that's not bad at all. Seen loads of newer cars worse than that. Agitate the surface rust, give it a few coats of Hydrate 80 and if possible buy a can of B&H Dynax S50 and apply in all the seams and hidden areas. It creeps into all the places you can't get a brush and has anti-rust...

A picture I took of the car in Morrisons this morning, 24 hours after the fitment of the new suspension. I'm going to have to get some 15-inch wheels on this sooner I think. I made the choice to have it set up for the circuit as I won't be killing it with road miles and wearing the tyres...

Hi Andy, yes I did. I realised I'd taken a picture of it missing. I'm rubbish at that sort of thing. Mine were in really good nick.

I bought a couple off K-Tec when my first Clio 182 had a dodgy connector. I tried all sorts to fit them but couldn’t get the new connectors on. Tried warming the pipe to soften it, but to no avail. I was lucky Renault still sold replacements pipes, so that’s what I did. Best of luck fella, hope...

Yeah it’s certainly a challenge. I’d still invest in some S50 though. A can with a flexible lance is only £17. The UB is good but I use it for underbody protection. The S50 is thinner and creeps into seams and cavities. It won’t harden in the way UB will, so will self heal if it’s disturbed...

Not the worst I’ve seen. Hydrate80 will stop the surface rust but it’s down in the seam which is the problem. Once it’s in between that, it’s just a matter of time. I’d agitate it with a wire brush, then stick some Hydrate 80 on it. And as above, whip the skirts off and repeat. I’ll tell you...

Any updates?

I was just about to say, I snapped one of those on my BG 😂 I could never get the thread out.

Just been to have the suspension set up in York, so did a detour across the North Yorkshire Moors. What a car!

Admin!

Took the day off to visit Track Torque Racing in Tockwith, York. They’ve set up my old track car many times and they know what they’re doing. Work included setting the ride height, geometry and corner balancing. Poor blokes face 😂 he wasn’t having a good start after hitting himself on...
