cheers boys, glad to read your comments !

Cheers ;) Good evening people, some other jobs have been completed today, time was short as always but nothing broke, went missing or cought fire which is good. I wanted to mount the winter tires I got two weeks ago and also do some work to the front brakes and change the fluid. Let's start...

Another pointless update: I said I was going to compare a used coil spring that I got with a spare strut with my osf one and I was right, mine was shorter, a lot shorter So I swapped that on and the car finally sits at the same height from side to side, I can finally get it aligned! The...

Hi everyone, The list of jobs on the little Clio is starting to get shorter thank god. I picked up a used bonnet as my old one was absolutely shot, plus they tried to bodge it with some oxy primer and the wrong shade of red. Paid 30 quid for the "new" one, is not perfect but at least the...

I didn't do much last week. The only job worth reporting is the addition of a new engine torque mount, people call it the dogbone lol Genuine Renault part paid 14 quid and some change. Didn't improve much but there's definitely a difference. Better than nothing. I fitted an inner tube in...

Another update for the red pile. None of this stuff is adding any horsepower but I'll get there, I've got a plan. Sorted the wiper mechanism that made me cringe every time it operated: turned out to be the usual (from what I've read) linkage that had come off the locating stud. Back at...

I finally fitted those yellow h11 fog light bulbs Here's the before Comparison Final result They are pretty yellow, not bad. This car keeps me busy buying useless poser stuff, I promise this is the last time. I lied, i bought a pair of Osram Zenarc D2S bulbs, damn it. Two...

what a disaster. less diplomacy and more pics next time !

Cheers Robbie ! Trip to Paris completed. Almost 600 miles, 85mph average speed meant just under one tank of diesel did it, it would have done a lot better if I wasn't in such a rush. Border control pulled us over and checked everything right down to cylinder head bolts torque, what a pain...

pointless update: the car has received a second pair of Goodyear efficientgrip, that makes for a matching set, don't know when the last time was for this car ! Tire change done my way, takes twice as long as "trade" time On zero again, although both rear rims have lost their...

Found the problem with my new struts. Here's the retaining nut that comes with the aftermarket ones And here's the one that genuine ones have As you may notice, once you do up the top nut, the one in the engine bay, this happens The two nuts come in contact before the top mount...

cheers guys, yeah the garage it's quite posh but I'm still an amateur when it comes to tech work! Anyway, last Saturday I tackled the replacement of the cambelt. I don't know when and even if it's ever been done, so I didn't take any chances and did it as soon as I could. Here's the stuff...

welcome to this, rather ordinary, project thread. be aware, I like writing. I thought about this and immediately realized two things: 1) This thread is about a diesel clio, not a sport. 2) being this diesel clio my daily driver, you won't find any infos on welded roll cages, 4 pots calipers...

What up Clio people ? I know I know the title says it all pretty much. The car I bought last week is in fact far from a sport, but has proven to be very "tasty" for a little diesel, and cheap of course, which is exactly what I wanted. My name is Diego, one of a million Italian immigrants, 27...
