    engine tap noise final thoughts??

    Yeah thought so, as Justin said its more than likely the charcoal canister ticking away, you should be able to feel it if you put your arm down from the top rattling about right at the top where the sensor plugs in. The 1.2 and 2.0 can sound quite 'tappety' if its more engine sounding, worth...

    STARTING PROBLEMS

    TDC Sensor more than likely, its doubtfull it'll show on a Diag machine anyway. There not expensive its worth putting one on anyway. If if you want, remove, clean, get all the dust off, WD40, wipe clean, tighten terminals on block plug and refit

    Mk1 Heater blowers.

    Does the fan spin, or not blow hot air? Heater matrix is quite common, my old RT didn't have heating till I sorted that

    Black behind wheel spokes

    Sorry to hijack, Rich can you give us a link to a site that sells stuff to put on your alloys after you acid them, so next time you can just wipe them clean rather than spent 6 years scrubbing them

    CV Joint

    It'd start to knock after a while on lock, when all the grease has left the actual joint. The gaitors unlikely to be split, the garage should just re-pack the inside with CJ joint grease and put a new clip on it.

    Washer jets not working. HELP!!!

    If it was my own car, I'd remove the clips/rubber trim, and simply lift the side with the washer bottle, and wedge something under it to hold it up. If not, its fairly easy, you may or may not choose to remove the wiper arms, without a puller can be a bit tricky.

    steering rack

    Play in the rack itself is rare. Had you bumped the kerb or anything, check simple stuff like tyre pressures etc. Worth getting the tracking checked

    Any Help? Car not starting!!

    You can fit it yourself yes, you'll need a 10mm on a socket, a small extension. If you get the latest one (only one Renault sell now as they've had so many problems with TDC sensors) you'll need a gas torch (soldering iron) and a pair of wire strippers. 10 Minute job but for the sake of it...

    CV Joint

    As said, re-pack that and put a new gaitor clip on. Do it sooner rather than later.

    Washer jets not working. HELP!!!

    Pipes could be blocked, blast them threw(sp) with an airline if you can, does the pump sound lively atall or dying? Remove the scuttle panel where your washer bottle is Tubbs, you'll see it down the side of the bottle. You'll see the block plug, remove that, then it'll pull out. When your...

    £1400 repair bill

    Gavs thread here, the 3rd picture, thats the ball joint, Renault only sell you the arm now, so I'd goto GSF and just get the ball joint, really easy. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=166376 Its on a MK1 but the principles the same. Simplified... Soak the lot in penetrating...

    K&N replacement filter?

    If anything I'd say a straight swap panel filters better than an induction kit, unless your after that cheap exhaust sound. I'd just get a K&N panel filter you won't need to buy a new filter for a very long time. You can clean and re-use them All imo ofcourse.

    what bolt is on the manifold to cat?

    Best off getting it jacked up and on stands, then lying on your back, with a few extensions on a ratchet. Wouldn't use an 11mm spanner you'll round the bolt head if your not carefull
