I was messaging him this morning on Instagram , could have been a lot worse than what it actually was .
Shame it’s happened , and I can only advise getting a set of the NLC version.
I have a set of those and have not had an issue at all , only general maintenance on replacing the rose joints...
Shaftec as you probably heard are s**t , Lobroe are German and 100% better quality .
I think I would be buying that one for sure .

How long would it take you to do 20 thousand miles ?
Ages I’d say , rebuild after x amount of years .
I’ll be going gripper for sure .

Just out of curiosity, what CV boots you using then as OE outers we’re thermoplastic , the only rubber one is the right side inner .
Left side inner CV boot has the bearing on .
I’ve not come across CVJ’s before to replace these or the inner spider bearings .
I have OE CV boots and at some...
What I did with mine was , where the ports are , one of the two big ones I left off , turned the steering to full lock one way and then when the steering was turned in the other direction it sucked in the fluid as I syringed it in . Approx 250-350ml.
That was it and it was fine.

You engine is not an F4R
It is an F7R , slightly different setup for a Clio from 98-2005.
I suggest trying to find the wiring diagram for that specific engine era and then can work out what goes where.

So poss a Clio valver loom then ?
If the ecu is in a plastic box , the valver had that type and used to sit under the scuttle osf.
Trying to find the wiring diagram for that car I think maybe a start .

This loom looks like it’s off an early Renault going by the connections.
Pre 99 or there abouts.
What ecu are you going to be using ?

It sounds like a classic turbo failure .
I’d deffo not advise 3k rpm with no oil feed [emoji2357]
@ idle would have been fine .
Another one you can try is , remove the turbo exhaust elbow and see if the oil is escaping from the bearing and into the exhaust .
Generally if the impeller...
Because boosted cars are in the end trouble and strife .
I’ve had my Clio 13yrs N/a had RS2 and now ITB’s and it’s a track car and I can honestly say it’s been very reliable and strong .
I’d dread to think [emoji848] what would : could happen if I boosted it .
I would have a drive of someone...
When ever a turbo car smokes , the first rule of Diagnosis is to eliminate the turbo , so by removing the oil feed pipe to the turbo and linking it back to the return ,also you will need to stop the turbo from turning somehow.
So now when the engine is running you have bypassed the turbo , so...
I’m assuming your using everything out of the Clio ?
Dash harness & Engine harness ?.
No their isn’t just a loom to buy , you will need to make it from the loom you have.
I cut up and wrapped a couple of laytex gloves around the gaiter and used spay glue to bond it to it .
Seems like it’s working.

I’m not so familiar with the Gen 90 , as I have the ME221 ecu fitted.
I run a WideBand controller with the wires from it , one feeds into the narrowband which the voltage from the controller reduces , iE this would keep the ecu happy .
Now if the gen 90 does have its own controller built in...
I’ve seen it before , and on my track car also .
Seems a weak spot for sure .
Yes welding a plate on will see it right.
