There is also a clio trophy specific forum if you Google. There will be some.good brains over...
Alignment this lunchtime at ETS.
No PS3s in stock and no locking nut key in the car so ended up with 2 X rain sport 3s on the front for now. :/
Still. It feels a hell of a lot better now after over £500 in parts and labour over the last 6 weeks.
Still needs a new windscreen for MOT.
A reverse...

So little update to this,
had the shocks, springs and top mounts fitted yesterday. Car now rattles less but handles like the ARB is disconnected and has started squealing tyres during low speed cornering...
My first thoughts are the alignments out now, but in fairness, the cars ready for a...
Can anyone confirm if cup front shocks will straight swap to a phase 1.
I've got a broken spring on the front, it's time to replace and I am gonna do both front legs at same time with new top mounts.
I've intially placed an order via renparts on eBay, and seller is saying they won't fit...
Tried the dial calibration thingy?
With ignition off.
Hold trip button on right hand stalk end and turn key to on position and release button.
Turn key to off to end calibration mode.
Probably won't help but it's free to try.
OT: I managed to stick the pedal to the floor after jumping in the GFs MK2 Focus one day.. hahah. These clios have the same feel to the pedals as Victorian signal box...
Sound like the transponder has failed and is not passing the key code to the ecu to deimmobilise the car. When this happened to me I used remotekey co uk
No problems since.
Happy to help via pm if you need info.
If it was me, in order of cost.
id visually check to see if the linkage had obviously moved positions at each end,
then maybe a fluid change to see if that cures it.
Outside chance . It could be a worn mount above the gbox or dogbone, but would expect trouble in all gears then really.
If...
Finally got it back on the road with fresh MOT after the best part of a year.
It was back in the garage a day later for an unknown knocking noise which turned out to be a part loose hubnut on the drivers front wheel.... Not too pleased about that.
Then yesterday i managed to crack the...
They do as advertised generally, but no gaurentees on engine life as they fool your ECU with fake values I believe.....
I wouldn't recommend one to anyone personally. A real remap by someone with actual knowledge would be better money spent.
Had one on a Mondeo 2 tdci taxi years ago. Good...
Chucked 2 new power steering pipes in the boot along with a new damper, hazard switch and my spare OZ ready for 2 new rear tyres. Keys dropped off at the garage. :)
