Yup, bought them from Demon Tweeks. In honesty they made zero difference to the side-to-side alignment, just fixed the sag. Feel like the problem lies elsewhere?

Where do I put the ties? As I say, all the mounts are solid powerflex, so there's no give anywhere! It's like it needs to be 'turned' or 'pulled' to the left somehow....?! Haha, yeah, theres definitely something to be said for a discreet exhaust...

I know the Clio 182 exhaust is pretty notorious for never sitting right, but I've read a load of threads, replaced all the mounts with powerflex mounts, and whilst it no longer sags, its sitting way off to the right. I've noticed the exhaust sometimes touches the bumper and vibrates it too, so I...

Saw this parked up on the side of the road all day yesterday, wondered if it was anyone off here...?

Had a white 200 (looked like, anyway!) behind me from Stow to Toddington. Wasn't in the Clio but was in a black Saab, you turned off halfway to Tewkesbury near the Prescott turning I think. Just thought it was worth a shout as rarely see another Clio around those parts, even though I know...

Brilliant guide, thanks! (Link here in case anyone else stumbles across this post in the future).

Thanks both, I have got a multimeter so shall take a look with that. Also cheers for all your advice briv6, will check out renparts!

Perfect, thanks very much! I'll give that a go and see what happens. If it is the injector, where would you recommend getting one from?

Haha, yeah all the topics I'd seen had people suspecting it was number 3. Any reason for that?! What method would you recommend using to check for sure before replacing it?

My apologies. I had searched and had a lot of posts saying 'check the injectors' or dead ends with no one ever saying how they solved the problem, but nothing that went it any specifics of how exactly to 'check the injectors'. I know as far as take the fuel rail guard off, but what then?

Yesterday, as soon as I started the car it was running like a diesel generator. Also, during certain points on the journey the emissions light would flash for a bit then go off. This morning I checked all the plugs and they all looked perfectly fine (not that old, if anything). I pulled off the...

Alright, so a few little bits and pieces... I've signed up for the Prescott Hillclimb Drivers School next year, and have planned to do a track day at Castle Combe. In terms of the car, it had it's MOT coming so I thought I'd put it in a week early, just in case. I knew it needed new wipers so I...

Gotcha, cheers! I had the leaking jets on my old Clio @Briv6, think the solution to that is new washer jets. I never bothered to replace them, as long as it got through the MOT! It looks like it's motor related, as it doesn't actually move any fluid about and just seems to leak from there, so a...

Thanks, I think my problem is coming from further up the line though. It's all dry under the bumper, and from then taking the wheel and arch liner off you can see the leak coming from further up towards the washer bottle, as it's leaking into the arch rather than from it. There's no fluid thats...

I know there are hundreds of threads about this common issue on here, but after reading many of them nothing matches up exactly to what I'm getting, so I just wanted to understand the washer system a little better so I can go in with a good idea. Basically, the headlight washer motor is...

After having sold my previous Clio 182 a little while ago (funnily enough it ended up back on the forum!) as I needed something a little more commuter friendly, I'm now in the fortunate position to have another Clio, but keep it as a project car! The idea is to use it for 'fun' drives at...

Thanks, I appreciate that. I hope for your sake it's not still for sale as I know how frustrating that can be, but it's good to know. My long term goal is your avatar, so maybe one day it'll get round to looking like that! ;)

Indeed, every car is going to have small cosmetic blemishes...wheels have to put up with a lot too. As long as the mechanical things have been looked after, and the bodywork is straight and there's no major keying or anything, everything else can generally be tidied up pretty easily (or...

Thanks for all that info Joey, appreciate it. :) It sounds pretty easy to live with then; I'm surprised to hear it's quiet and the 'creature comforts' like stereo, seats and heaters are actually good too...definitely not what I expected! I did wonder how refined it would be with the roof off in...

Thanks for that. Yeah, the car would be living with the hard-top on for most of the year! Obviously with the roof off I don't expect it to be the most comfortable experience, but that's kind of the point; great for warm summer days (all 3 of them) and that open air feeling you mentioned though...

How did you find the MR2 to live with daily? Been looking at Celica's but your MR2 with hardtop has me considering one...! Just afraid it'll feel a bit 'flimsy', especially as for the first month it'll be doing a lot of motorway miles.

I did indeed look after it! Good to see you doing the same ;) (And then some...!). I haven't, no...it just hasn't expired yet from last time I renewed. I see the Clio getting involved with the floods in your avatar. :P

I went to FCH and we all got told to not park our cars on the road, because they will get vandalised...seems to be cars the locals don't recognise that get targeted. Safe to say when I had the 182 it was always safely parked on campus, even though there were never any spaces, I'd get 'creative'...

Great set of photos you got there...if it was my car I'd be happy having those as desktop wallpapers, which is saying a lot as I don't really go in for car-themed wallpapers! Car looks very fresh and tidy too.

I saw a LY R27 in Cheltenham about a year ago, gave them a thumbs up but just got a blank stare...:o

Yes mate, but that wasn't what caused my rattle, and not sure it'd cause yours either. Either way, should probably get it fixed. ;)

When I had this, it turned out to be one of the joins on the catalytic converter; it can be either the one from the cat to the rest of the system, or the manifold to the cat. Had the exact same symptoms as you, only did it in gear from about 3k rpm onwards. Solved when I got both joins done with...

Haha, I can see already how keen you are on cleaning! Good it's not being chavved up though, always nice to see what happens to your old cars (when it's good that is!). I thought I was keen, you make me look lazy! Don't worry about the card then, wasn't sure if it was my current one or not. :)...

Haha, I was literally just wondering if I'd left my membership card in there or not....! Apparently I did :p Glad you're enjoying the car, it gave me a lot of smiles, and also good to see it's gone to someone who's looking after it. Had a few people ask if the number plate was a custom one...
