As above, iirc twr made 3 like that. One which looked a lot more like a v6 that was black ended up on eBay a few years back.

As above, theres about 8 shades of flame red iirc. SHouldnt notice too much if its the same colour though.

The fabrication code is the k000773 number, the higher the number, the later it was made. Mine is K000626 and was made in Nov 2000. Just seen another thread and your based in israel so I wouldnt worry about some looser cloning your car over here!

Id rather buy a mechanical sound one that was tatty, rather than a mint one that was not mechanically sound. Has it had its belts done??

iirc there are 10. Start from the top middle, then bottom middle, then bottom left, then top left, then top right, then bottom right, then far bottom left, then far top left, then far top righ, then far bottom right.

The sound improvement is probably mostly due to running without a caf. It should be ok as long as your filter is in good shape.

was the aux belt and tensioners plus the tensioners on the cambelt changed. Whirring sounds around that area are normally tensioner/idlers on their way out. Failing that could be knackered alternator, powerseering or water pump. Does it get better as engine is warmed up?

Had cambelt snap on renault trafic van, it was on 71k (3 year old).

It is 2001 as per the vin number. You cannot tell the month from the vin/vehicle plate. According to the fabrication number its quite low for 2001 so Id say Jan/Feb. Why do you want to know? Also on the first page of the service book it should have the "delivered on date" filled in.

You can check that the springs are correctly seated and not rusted/snapped at the ends. Also check for any excessive movement in the steering rack/rods.

You should tighten them with a swan neck spanner and a hex key, air gun can turn the strut shaft and break the inside of the strut. I would have thought they should be even both sides but if they are both tight and not causing problems I wouldnt worry.

It could be the cv joint. It could be the loose gaitor making in the noise as when the wheel is turned it can hop on and off the driveshaft.

Heres mine, its still standard (on the outside).

Mine has 2, if it has 1 Renault probably lost it on the last service. Its nothing to worry about.

It should be ok, whats the offset of the wheels?

Nope they are the dual optical lens type lights the same as the 172mk1.

Welcome to the club. Any pics of the exclusive? Theres not many in the club.

I get that on long motorway journeys. But when getting to town it goes down to about 28mpg.

The blanking plates prices are wrong, theres a price error on renaults system. If they ask that much get them to verify it.

What bits do you need? You can obtain the Renault dialogies cd, its a little tricky to install but works a treat.

Print this and show them page 8 http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/MoT%20Issue%2031%20-%20Apr%202006.pdf I would have thought theyve made your car dangerous.

If its a 1.2 8v the oil filter is on the drivers side end of the engine near the aux belt.

Try wd40 on the wiring block and pins, normally the pins corrode and the crappy metal clips break.

My wife drove mine home the other day, it nearly gave me a heart attack, never again. One thing Ive noticed is they seem so much faster when you are a passenger.

Check all the bolts are tightened up and make sure the pads are correctly seated.

Send your calipers off to my mate, he will do the pair for £89. Or £130 and get a polymer coating. www.biggred.co.uk

Theres some useful stuff on this website. http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/index.php

As far as I know the 1.4 16v was indroduced in 1999 in the mk2ph1 Clio??

Theres a white one based at Ceder motors that someone that works there owns or has on demo.

It will be a 8v
