Nope. run the cheapy into the ground. Pouring money into a car that will only ever be worth £1k max is silly...

George at RTR is your man.. Find him in the traders section on here

Meh, just ditch the undertray.

Doing anything on a Clio must take you hours with all the torque wrench work. Nip it up, 1/4 of a turn. Done.

These two have it spot on.

HAHAHAHAHAAH. Post of the year.

People in glass houses, shouldn't w**k off.

Fiddly fucker to get the cover back in. I loosened the gearbox mount, pushed the engine right over and that gave just enough room to wiggle in from the top. Would also like to know a trick of how it goes in..

On a 335, you'd have to be clinically insane to not have a warranty.

I'd be buying fucked ones from eBay and bolting them on, lol

Yep, i would always. For the sake of two mins to remove and refit it, i always have it off..

Lovely purchase. Colour is so nice, and it's the correct gearbox. Would look 100% nicer on some Competition wheels IMO. you could be this guy.

Two options to fit it mate. Either loosen the manifold and slide it back 1" or so, or loosen the 3x starter motor bolts, angle it so you can clip the heatshield on, then bolt up again..

Lol. 5 mins work to fix if you know the problem.

^This. Problem solved!

yep, they all look like that

The black bracket the dogbone bolts to at the gearbox end should have 2x bolts holding it on.. I can see one of them, check the other is still there...

@chris blue Nope, it's not come from that hole. That's for a Ph2 dogbone setup..

Ah, it was you who beat me to it! Lol

^ Meh. Gearbox isn't under any pressure. Nip it up and re-use.

Map isn't going to fix oil use.

Nope, an hours work. nice and simple. You could replace the hub nuts if you want it to be proper spot on, but no real need if the old ones come off cleanly.

If a 172/182 is using oil, that's not a good sign.

Nope, good to go on those on their own. Makes sense to do the box oil if it's never been done, but otherwise fine to use if it's only a couple of years old.

Great looking photos, but it annoys me they're not in age order.. lol

While you've got the fuel rail guard off, it gives easier access to the oil filter... That said, it's a 2 second job to remove it if you service it at a different time.

Process to swap that mount: Battery and airbox out. Undo 18mm nut. Whack the stud with a hammer (can sometimes take a fair old whack until the box drops). Undo 2x 13mm nuts. Bolts are captive underneath, but will probably fall out. Lift mount off. Install in reverse order. You might need a...

Nothing in that area is a 15mm. Always a chance someone could have replaced the original 16mm's with one of these though.

If it's a 16mm head, it could be from anywhere in that area. Could be one of the ones that mount the gearbox spider to the box itself.. or could be one that bolts the box to the block, but there are so many doing that, you probably wouldn't notice it missing. My bet, either gearbox mount...
