Funnely enough, I did this exact job on my Clio DCi Thursday.
Injector is easy to remove, crack both the 17mm nuts on the fuel pipe off, remove completely. Pull of leak off pipe, unplug injector (and glow plug as it'll be easier), remove Torx bolt, and then remove the U shaped clamp.
You'll...

I had mm's and degrees confused. Would be nice if it was perfect though!
Progress looks good though dan.
Just need to convice Dr Jekyll that Ph2 rear lights is the way forward.
See ya tomorrow!

I know I've only just woken up, but bugger me thats hard to read.
You could do with more front camber IMO and it could also do with a small shim to correct the rear toe, 3.4mm is quite a lot.
And FYI Tom, you want sport springs, if not standard DCi springs. Sports weigh nearly the same as DCi's. Don't go buying non sport springs as they aren't the correct poundage half the time.
Can't see it being anything like that fitted there or looking like that.
I doubt its fitted that well anyway, probably just poked down the A pillar and then along the bottom of the dash somehow.
Thats the problem! I suggest using cable ties to start with rather than use the metal clips supplied, means you can do it as many times as you like, and you'll do it 3 or 4 times.
Take your time doing it and have fun lol
Yep, Depending how low your car is, you might have some minor rubbing issues on the front arch liner/bumper bracket, but easily solved. Mine is quite low and has 30mm spacers and has rubbed everything away after a few months lol.
Cup wishbones are worth it for the extra caster (I did it!) and maybe camber bolts for a touch more camber, but good setup will improve it more than anything else.
Sachs are good, but a decent coilover would be just as good, and probably cheaper! No real need to go for anything IMO. My own Clio...
The DCi's have a bit of a harsh ride as standard tbh. Eibach Sportlines (like @Dr Jekyll has for sale) would be my call though.
Good choice in car too, Nearly as good as mine.
Shocks, springs and extra caster lower wishbones, which is just the same as 172 cup and 182 cup.
Hubs are different, but I think thats just larger bearing (60mm or so springs to mind), Don't think shafts would be an issue.
I'd like to be corrected though!
Theres also a fourth engine mount on the front of the gearbox that goes onto the subframe, but that does so little, I doubt I'd ever change that.
Depends how far you want to go with it all I suppose, as you could end up changing all the balljoints, wishbones (or at least bushes) all over the...
Some more maintenance on the DCi tonight.
Sounded terrible the last couple of days, bit like a steam train sometimes.
Cause, an injector seal, just a thick copper washer at the bottom of the injector. Midway through changing...
New vs old
All fixed now :)
Got some pics of my rear camber...
