I'd suggest that first things first, you need to find yourself a specialist mechanic on here that's local-ish to you.
£395 to supply and fit an alternator is robbery.
Take the wiper arms off, remove the black plastic trims that sit on there (scuttle panel) and you will see the washer bottle.
Look underneath that for leaves/dirt/crap and you'll see drain holes bunged up.
No I sold it. I couldn't face leaving it outside to get rained on/damaged after I did all that to it.
There's a mk1 Clio Facebook page, every month or so one crops up but they're thin in the ground now. Old French wiring and very rusty metal saw to that. :-(

I'd only buy an engine from a long term member in here, or Josh @ Renparts.
I don't trust car dismantlers anymore than I'd trust a pikey to Tarmac my driveway.
When I had this issue, I printed off adverts of near identical cars and sent them to the insurance with a letter saying £xxxx is what I'll need to replace my car.
They paid out. They actually paid more than I'd hoped for too.
