PMSL :lolup: Used to have a sub in the day then found out listening to music was far more enjoyable without it

More info on the intake welds ?? :S:S

Forget the Clio, this thread should be about the Corrado dude :cool:

250ish would be a dream haha - Prices range from 400's to nearly a grand depending on where you live (Renault dealers) Back street garages are dodgy. Too many miss timed Clio's kicking about due to lack of knowledge and incorrect special tools for the job. Best bet it to shop about at...

RS Inlet is meant to be a slightly better cast factory vs say the stock 172 one. The process of porting only takes any inlet up to the size of the stock gasket so as a result ALL inlets will be the same after porting. Unless your running stock inlets in which case the RS would be the...

Wrong way round is it not? Lower the number thinner the weight 15W 50 will be far thicker stuff compared to 5W 40 ?

Ah thats a totally different ball game then. You never mentioned the depahaser had been replaced prior :) Was assuming going by your opening post you only had a belt change and was pee'd off at the fact they never spotted it was worn or wearing 4k's back Give them hell

Why would he have a right to claim for anything? He got his cambelt done 4 thousand miles back. Thats like 4 - 6 months of motoring for the average person. A lot can happen in that time and theres no proof that there was anything wrong or wearing with the depahser at the time of cambelt...

Theres a big thread on this somewhere. Have a search for the details matey. Theory is good but in reality does it make any difference to performance, honestly?

Lube the bushes and top mounts as mentioned. Shouldnt need to take anything apart unless really bad. Dont lube with WD40 either as it drys rubber out

It makes no difference what so ever what inlet you have if your porting mate. RS inlet is said to be better cast out the box, thats all. :)

Flic the windscreen wipers when it does it to see if its that. This is what causes mine to whistle.

The worse the cast, the better for the porter and final result. Only worth getting a RS stamped inlet if your not going to do any port matching

Depends who your with. Sure Direct Line used to be £45 per extra mod when i was with them years back. Its your call at the end of the day fella ;)

Kangarooing? Loose Map sensor wire is another potential. Happend to me years back

Sound advice imo. Save the money towards a supercharger kit or even ktec turbo. Too much effort and far better options than cams and TB's these days imo

Technically insurance should be cheaper with a K&N due to the fact the car actually looses power with one fitted ;) Yes you should tell them you have it fitted

Soz fail on my part. Thought it was engine oil lol fill up via the plastic wing nut till the oil pours out

Dont rely on how much oil you throw in either. Check the dip stick. Dumb f**k mechanic saying 2 litres lol

haha good point there :)

Used to have the same problem. New cable fixes it

Thats ok if its not on too tight but your screwed if it is (ie, hard to get any sort of leverage like a wrench)

Sounds like a lot of crap to me but could be very wrong

As most others have said yes Halfords sell it. They also sell a universal spanner type thing with lots of different size squares coming off it (blue in colour) so not sure why this was such a struggle lol

Agree. Bit silly and obvious leaving the locking nut in the glove box but suppose its one of those things you dont think will ever happen.. Would have thought it would have had a anti-jacking alarm. Clio does factory fit and your talking a 8,9 year old technology!

Why did you price up a whole new shaft ?? :S

Stage one, change the gearbox oil and with the correct stuff. Its the owners that kill these boxes, not poor design or build

All down to personal choice but the K&N is regarded as garbage being a open type kit. Maxogen, CDA, Viper.

Nice of them to give you your cash back tho. Did they say it will take 50 miles to return back to normal :rasp:

Same here. This is what Renault dealers use too when a car comes in for a service with the same problem apparently. (saves ordering a part and does a better long term job) Top up with special CV greese if needed and as already mentioned if split, new boot time
