Not a Clio I know, but it just goes to show him much difference wheels can make. My Ovlov when I bought it, the wheels were called Spartacus and were 17". New wheels fitted, these are 18" and look 1000x better in my opinion.

No, they were called 182 as they were supposed to produce 182ps, which is 179.5bhp. Same with the 172, 197 & 200

Cups were available in a range of colours. All but liquid yellow I think.

Looks good, but I just need to point out you have 'Clio 3 F1' in your car info. This isn't an f1, it's a cup.

If fitted they must work. If not fitted - they aren't tested.

its a 10 minute job to bleed the clutch and no special tools required. I'd be doing it myself to be honest. Oh, and the clutch/brake systems are separate. They only share the reservoir so air in either system won't affect the other.

Ask Renault, they changed it! All I know is that it was changed from 5 to 6 years in about 2008/09.

The late 197's had the revised interval too

6 years on the 200, so it's due in March

Technically the belts aren't due yet, but yes I'd be wanted to get a bit of money off to cover them.

For the sake of a few extra quid I'd be letting them supply the parts. You aren't really saving much are you?

New gearboxes can be picked up for <£600, so it's not a major problem if it goes. It's not a common as is made out either, it's just we only hear about the bad ones.

You'll struggle to find anywhere that will let you supply the parts to be honest. Hours wise, maybe 4 - 5?

Picture of the stereo might help? RCA is the red and white connectors usually found on the back, so I'm not sure what connector you are referring to.

Upgraded to 200mb today. Shame upload isn't increased too it it's better than nothing!

I'd be changing those tyres to be honest. 9 year old tyres won't be all that good anymore! Other than that, nice car!

Why would the oil light come on if the brake fluid was low? Surely that would put the handbrake/ brake warning light on?

Been discussed to death. You will get two answers:- Either A) it's not possible to do it correctly yourself. The ONLY people that can do it are the traders on here. Or B) yes, of course it is possible. As long as you have the correct tools (Renault OE) and the instructions - you'll be fine...

Have you tried measuring the gap between the sill and the ground? That'll give you an idea if it is lower. Most cars seem to sit a bit lower on the drivers side tbh, at least FWD anyway. Oh yeah, wtf does 'led in it' mean?!?

I have recently swapped from pilot sport 3's to hankook v12's and have noticed no difference in grip an I'm running just a bit more power and torque than a standard 1*2

Id say you're doing something wrong if they are fuzzy. The iPhone camera (at least the iPhone 6) is a very good camera for a phone and is far better than the digital camera I have from a few years ago. Upload an example of one of the photos so we can see what you are getting.

In what way do you think it'll effect things 10-15 years down the line? Any damage inflicted by the extended servicing will already have been done. Not that it's likely to have done all that much anyway. any links to the car in question?

Wouldn't put me off personally. Buy on current condition, not on something that happened in the service history a few years ago.

Hostile? I didn't realise I was. Not meant to come across that way. I agree that in the case of a track car, or a car that only does 6k a year it makes sense. But for someone that does 12k a year in a daily driver then it doesn't. I probably should have given more stipulation in my original...

Who mentioned track use? I didn't and nobody before my post had either.

lol at all the people changing at 2 - 4k! All you are doing is wasting money! It's a Renault Clio, not a bloody Ferrari!

You sure it's tappets? Could be dephaser on it's way out?

Yes, you'll need it painting. Ideally it'll want blending in too I would think. Cost wise, you get what you pay for. If I got change from £300 I'd be surprised (for a decent job)

Do you not have a digital camera that you could use? Or even a mobile phone? Failing that, Argos have plenty of small cheap 'action' type cameras. They start at about £30. I have one of these somewhere at home http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2493653.htm that would work for what...

It peaked at 953 on the road in 2005, currently 726 still taxed and 122 SORN So rare, but not as rare as you heard (according to HOWMANYLEFT)
