I had no end of trouble with driveshafts and I found the cup ones (slightly longer) used to grind inside the gearbox on sharp corners.
If yours fit ok and don't make any noise, I wouldn't worry about it.
Removed the not even screwed in 'fli' door speakers (yes, the previous owner just placed them in the doors because they were too big for the holes. Every time I hit a pot hole both front door speakers fell out and dangled by the wires...) and re-fitted some standard ones I had in the garage...
The gearbox I just removed from my car (due to loud whining, grumbling diff bearings and crunching 3rd gear) was seemingly refurbished quite recently....
I'm starting to lose trust in just about everybody surrounding Clios at the moment.
A recently fitted Cambelt dephaser and water pump, Decent suspension, recently refreshed bushes and mounts, decent tyres, and some half about brakes with quality fluid.
Get those basics right and improve as you go.
You don't NEED washer jets for an mot, but if they're fitted they must work.
If I was you I'd reconnect them for the mot, then when you get home for some colour coded blanks to save any future issues.

Don't get me wrong, it won't win any prizes, but It broke, I went from using my £3000 diesel powered hot wash to this and my customers never noticed! Lol
Lovely choice mate, I want a grey one. I see one every morning and it's lovely.
I never knew Mk5's suffered with rot?? A structural thing or a panel thing??
