Picked up the wheel bearing from Renault today and ordered 2 bleed nipples for the rear calipers after being made aware that 1 of them was a bit temperamental. Wheels bearings are a little bit chunkier than the old school Clio's from back in the day 😁 3 3/4" in diameter

Toomey indeed, I've been going to Renault in Southend as far back as when they were next to Priory Park as Lookers. Actually scrub that as I took my R5 GT Turbo to Renault in Hadleigh back in late 1998 to have a new clutch fitted. We agreed a price, picked it up and on the way to Lakeside it...

Yep the same box as the MK3, mine was ok with 360 ft/lbs

Popped into my local Renault dealer on Friday to order the wheel bearing. RPD price £79.95 reduced from £106 on their website page. Parts guy won't budge on their price of £106 "no we don't do discounts, you don't have a trade account to do that and you don't spend enough money" My loyalty to...

So am I mate, big time 😔

MOT time again, I had 3L of ELF oil already so i ordered another 5L of ELF from Opie Oils on eBay. I almost ordered from their website but they were asking £6.95 postage with FedEx whereas the oil was £1 more on eBay but free postage. Sidenote it's nice to keep using the ELF oil especially as...

M4 Clio

I'm sure someone mentioned years ago the OE calipers are Laguna 2

Just aesthetic 😬

The clio has been a useful backup a couple of times since the new year as the work car needed repairing. First time off the road for 3 weeks with a fuel problem and a month ago the timing belt snapped so now terminal. I've just arranged to buy my brother's Mk5 Golf diesel they've owned for 12...

Keith Michaels for me too, Gary Moulson is the guy to speak to. I had a big claim back in 2020 and KM were the only company to be miles better on price, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be back in a modified car. The last 2 renewals have been the same price, I was half dreading renewing back in...

Washed it

Mines been fine for years with the torque at what Adey says 280-285ft/lbs

Put V Power in, now on daily duties as the work cars timing belt has gone.

I've just had a read through the Mk4 FB group and found this on one of Ian's posts. Ian Willacy hybrid with TD04 parts inside, Sytec in tank fuel pump, Decat, into Sportcat, into mid box silencer and rear silencer.

Stock injectors are fine

Indeed, I watched a few last night but again that was enough for me. I guess the nice thing is I can revisit his channel as and when I'm ready for a mini binge watch 😁 It's good that he has a few projects in various stages so at least you're seeing different things

Not seen any vids of Cleetus for months and months but a reel came up the other day of his Supra with him taking someone out doing the anti lag. I do like him but what I find I'm doing is find someone new, binge watch to the point of saturation, then shy away or not like them from the off and...

Probably the only car I'd let my Clio go for 😁 Excellent work as always mate, I wish I had the space like you have as it would lead to no pressure interesting projects 😁

Insurance renewal time, I've been with Keith Michaels since owning the Clio. After having a massive claim back in 2020 they were the only company for me that were and still are the most competitive, not only that they have been by far the most straightforward and easiest people to deal with...

He is indeed, hoping to drive out there again soon

I can't remember if it was clutch but I remember speaking to Dekker Motorsport about this when I was over there as he mentioned he had a car in that played up only on the odd number gears. He mapped a car and it started doing it shortly after, the customer blamed the map so asked for it to be...

Looks like I'm working 🙄

My Scangauge shows temps always around the low 83-86, never below 80 once it's up to that temp, fan kicks in on 99 degrees in prolonged stop-start traffic.

Android Auto is next on the to do list

It is indeed, a nice thing to have and something I didn't know was in the car when it was up for sale. I do have RS Monitor as well but yes at least with the Scangauge I can read the coolant temp amongst a few other things.

He certainly is ☺️

Steering wheel and rear LED lights finally fitted! After having a friend make the loom adapters I had the Clio booked in again with ELF Automotive to do both jobs. Swapping the light units over on both the car and tailgate is one thing but you need the adapters as the original loom connectors...
