Very rare for the doors to leak. In fact I've never heard of it.
My guess is the scuttle drains bunged up with leaves and crap, the scuttle filling up and leaking down the back of the dash.
When you say 'a bit of a myth' I asked on scoobynet when I was researching buying mine, and that's what they all told me.
Maybe a bit like this place and cambelts! Lol
Sell it. It's probably (apart from a 3 door 1.6 Rxe mk2 ph1 Clio automatic) the least desirable clio going.
Somebody would love it though, so stick it up for £1,999 and see what happens.
A lot!
The gearboxes are only capable of 300-320 if you like driving hard.
If you're wanting 350 and the torque to go with it, an STi 6 speed box will be needed.
My old one had 320bhp and the 5 speed and it was plenty. Went like stink! Lol
Yeah it's got all that jazz.
What would make it less painful is another 100hp, another 100ft/lb of torque, a gear stick that didn't flop around and if it just had one straight body panel it would be nice too.
I'm sure it will be a nice little car once I've spent some money on it though.
I've had, f**k me, 100+ mk2 clios? I've never had one with a rusty shell. Ever.
As someone has said, they don't rust as they're galvanised.
Chances are it's had a new back wing at some point in it's life and it wasn't seated properly. Water is getting in and is eating it's way out.
Same...
