Anyone on here who owns the LY Clio 1*2 with bonnet bra, I've seen it driving round Oakham?
Also spotted a dark blue Clio 172 outside Halfords in Stamford a few times.
Any members on here own them?
If anyone could enlighten me as to which Powerflex dog bone engine mount to get it would be appreciated muchly!
This one (twisted dog bone mount)

Or this one...
So a nice big box was waiting for me at the base post room this lunchtime :)

I'll get it on the car this weekend, along with the spark plugs I ordered just...
Okay, so im gunna order a Powerflex poly-bushed dog bone engine mount, do I get the normal or twisted one?
And I think I'm gunna go the whole hog and replace the top engine mount and the gearbox mount aswell, should I get standard Renault parts? I don't really want to pay Renault dealer...
I've done a quick search on the forum for which spark plugs are suitable for my Clio (53 plate 1.4 Dynamique) but no results really.
Just wondering if some kind folk could guide me in the right direction choosing spark plugs.
Am I right in thinking NGK BKR6EZ's would fit my engine?
Also...
I'm gunna try the spark plugs first, see if that cures the problem, if not I'll try getting my hands on a polybush dogbone gearbox mount. Where's the best place to look for one of these? I did a quick google search but I'm at work so couldn't have a proper look. Is it a pain to fit, or am I best...
ka9, I'm hope you're right mate, it'll be a lot cheaper to replace the spark plugs than the mounts. I'll upload some pics and a description of the grille swap, it'll be about a week until the grille arrives though.
I'm gunna pop to Halfrauds tonight and pick up some spark plugs, can anyone...
Small update, just bought an RS grille, should be here in a week or so hopefully.
Also screwed on a bee sting aerial as my old standard aerial strangely vanished lol
I was looking through the Hayne's manual last night, and it does say in there about the spark plugs leading to the type of fault my car has, but that wouldn't explain why the gearstick shakes around all the time, unless thats how every Clio's gearstick behaves?
Mind you, it does idle a bit...
No it's not through the steering wheel, if I'm driving along my gearstick shakes quite a lot. The car sort of 'clunks' when you hit 60-70ish and when you take your foot off the gas or accelerate at those speeds.
Okay, so I'm gunna try take the car to a garage tomorrow.
My gear knob shakes like it's going cold turkey, and when I hit around 70ish and accelerate or take my foot of the accelerator then the car feels like it judders. So I'm thinking gearbox/engine mounts?
And here's a close up after a day's worth of elbow grease haha.
Washed her with AG Bodywork Shampoo, then dryed her, clay barred her, polished her with AG Ultra Deep Shine then a coat of Meg's #26 Carnuba Wax.
Shiny Clio :cool:

So here's what I drive, a Black 53 plate 1.4 Dynamique. It's my first car, had her three months now and she's completely standard.
I have a few little idea's running round in my head of what I'd like to do.
Lowered around 30-40mm, white Turini's, colour coded plastics, Silvervisions, pressed...
Hey guys,
Just joined up to Cliosport.net as I've been noseying around as a visitor for a couple days.
I drive a Black 53 plate 1.4 16V Clio Dynamique, it's my first car and I've had her for around three months now. She's still bog standard, but I have a few idea's in my head for what I wanna...
