I'm still waiting for nectar points double up to get this, lol

ai duck and cover, if nothing shows up then who cares?!

Genuine matey from rpd. And previous experience, the 182 had same issue few years back and replacing CTS cured it. Makes sense really as if ecu thinks engine is cold still it'll keep chucking extra fuel in

Sorted some more bits today, refitted orange side repeaters and original interior door opening handles. Also replaced the passenger side window switch with one with a working light in. Then up to mates garage to fit the new inner tie rods I ordered other day and track the car up. Also had...

Still got the front to do but decided I'm going to clean and overhaul a load of stuff on the front end over the winter so no point fitting it yet.

Another one done today, new coolant temp sensor fitted as not happy about slightly high idle and poor mpg since I last used the car. I also replaced the airbox for a slightly better condition used one thats not got gaffer tape all over it and now have all 4 clips too. Cheers Ben New...

Final few jobs done, exhaust painted black, which will also be rehung to hide it better behind the bumper headlights buffed again seatbelts cleaned and scrubbed MOT achieved with flying colours celebratory pint and a spin out in the peak, lovely cheers all Ben

Air filter and pollen filter also changed to complete the minor service too but no pics of that

Old filter, defo due a change oil drained new oil to go in undertray cleaned up Old and new plugs for swapping out Comp test completed, with mileage noted down too broken bonnet stay clip new one fitted getting there!

Next up, fixed the none working boot light (also causes auto lock issues when just boot opened) by replacing the boot lock catch/sensor assembly and replaced the rear wiper trim for brand new o/e one as the other one I had hastily resprayed with crappy paint. old crappy painted trim so...

Next, fitting new rear bumper and tail lights, and also removed the side trims to clean behind them to whilst I was at it So rip the rear of the car off, and bits everywhere initially cleaned up, including trims off side And new parts fitted including brand new plate light...

Fair bit more work done on the car recently, think I'll split it up a post per change as there's loads of pics to add as well. Not going to necessarily be in chronological order I'm afraid but all occurred over past few weeks! So first one in this thread is I had noticed some play in the...

Not really been an issue to me as my track wheels are ratty as f**k and crucially black anyway ;-)

There fine, ran them on my track car with stock lines and calipers for years no issue

Such a cool car and fascinating engine, I want to own one just for the wankel tbh

Love the rx, on my wish list one of those

You snapped it putting it back in? How tight did you try and do it up? I'll have a look in my bolt box tomorrow morning and chuck one in post if I've got a spare. Whenever I take anything apart I always use wire wheel attachment and wire bottle brush attachment on drill to clean the bolt and...

Shame, but as ever with all of them, you'll be back ;-)

no chance I'm afraid, its my forever car that grey heap of crap, all the rest would go first.....although it would be difficult to let the red one go as well tbh........or the odyssey......or the RB......f**k think I have issues, can anyone recommend a counsellor?

I had it resprayed about 8 years ago I think it was, looked great in its heyday and went well. It'll live again when I stop spunking cash on the red one, the odyssey and the RB, flol!

Ah that's good then!

Oh there's a chap over in Europe who sells front and rear jacking points as can't get them from Renault anymore, think he's active on the clio 16v Facebook group

Yeah it's got front jacking point issues too and needs sills ideally. It was boosted but I got into trackdays and bought another one for that so grey one was decommissioned and has sat ever since Looks like this at mo

Glad to see the work going into this chap, should be lovely when done. Need to sort my old grey one out at some point but the fear of the rust has stopped me thus far

Look tidy, be shame to do anything other than keep it stock imo

Only tyre that's actively tried to kill me on the limit is the pilot sport offerings from Michelin, never again, evil evil semi slick crap that

Been sideways past the limit of grip plenty of times old bean, never felt the fabled 'snap' seems a bit like the bullshit 5k cam kick, not forthcoming ;-)

Never had that issue, always found them less snappy than the semi slick crap tbh

I've responded re wiring in your other thread too @glennbroad

Like that as well tbh, poverty spec with a sport heart should be a giggle
