Best sticking with Renault for the pump or are any aftermarket options worth a look?

It ain't cheap for what it is.
The washers work ok overall but for a while now I've noticed that maximum spray isn't coming out of every nozzle. Any time I function them there is at least one of the four nozzles spraying noticeably less/weaker than the others but it's not consistent, it can vary from one skoosh to the next...
6 years hence and we're in the same boat here! Has been this way for a while to be honest, car squirms quite a bit to the left and the steering wheel pulls to the right.
Annoyingly 2/3 years ago, the front right caliper (one of the two that I'd refurbished) was replaced due to a sheared nipple...
Thought I updated this.
Not sure there was an obvious answer in the end but I ended up replacing the spark plugs, ignition leads and coil pack and it was (eventually) sorted.
I say eventually as a new misfire immediately appeared after this which, after many hours of fault finding to no avail...
Does make me wonder what the cars would be like if the latest and great UHP tyres were available in 16". Can you imagine Pilot Sport 4S or Sport Contact 7's on one of these?
Yes I'm in the same camp. No issues but tyres do move on.
I emailed Jon at tyrereviews (who's also on pistonheads) and he hasn't actually driven on the PS3. He thinks the PC6 should still feel better but did say in the smaller sizes the structure of the tyre often changes from the sizes in...
Anyone have more feedback on these tyres?
I only came across that Tyre Reviews video yesterday and it would suggest they'd be a good option given the PS3 was never that highly rated and the Continental is being compared favourably with tyres newer than the PS3.
New performance options aren't...
Might be a bit late but you can get centre caps from France for a ton cheaper. I just got 4 for my Trophy-

Will be getting the wheels of my Trophy refurbished when it's going in to see @Gally at Protek in the near future so wanting to get brand new wheel bolts to match.
Has anyone bought the Kamracing ones?- https://www.kamracing.co.uk/eibach-wheel-bolts-renault-clio-mk2-rs.html
Is there anywhere...
My code reader has identified a misfire on cylinder 3 but curious if the symptoms here can point towards anything in particular before I take it to a garage-
Revs with no issue when in neutral only (no load)
Obviously misfires when trying to accelerate in any gear at low revs- happens from...
I've always had trouble with the rear discs getting grotty. Got a sticky caliper now too myself.
To actually keep them as clean as the fronts you'd have to be doing a lot of hard braking every single week. I always find before long they inevitably look crap.
Any idea where to get these at the minute?
I've got a sticky rear one so just in case it can't be freed-off I'm looking to get ahead of the curve but a lot of the usual places (ECP, carparts4less, brakeparts) list them but they're out of stock.
The old dogbone mount was polybushed and I replaced the whole thing back then- the car had a short shift kit fitted as well and it was abysmal so I wanted to get everything back to standard.
Might just get everything changed again and get the gear linkage bushes checked too. Have also noticed...
How many miles would you expect OEM mounts to last? Mine were last changed at 85k miles and the car is now on 128k miles.
Didn't realise it had been 43k miles since and have got the impression recently that the gear change is a bit sloppier than it was. Is 40k miles+ a good innings?
Looks like I'm a whipper snapper at 31. Wasn't expecting that.
Suppose they're of an age now where they attract more enthusiasts and they don't always cost pennies to keep running.
My car is needing the driver side rear replace and the garage has just been on the phone saying the ones they've ordered don't fit. They've been hearing they're no longer available but are going to phone Renault in the morning.
Can anyone shed any light on this and point me in the direction of...
Anyone?
Tried again yesterday and, without the bright sun I could see the dash clearer...the ABS light could be cleared but the SERV and traction control lights stayed illuminated.
Almost immediately came on again once moving though.
