Roughly 27k miles round say Oulton Park. I've done roughly 3k miles round there.

Depends on your budget. Low: Yokohama AD08R's, Nankang NS2R's, Federal RSR's Medium: Toyo R888R, Nankang AR-1 High: Dunlop DZ03G, Yokohama A048/A050

You mean wheels or tyres?

33/30 is about right.

Ahh right. That's a first i've seen/heard of leaking from there. Like i say, water would have to be physically driven up into that area by pressure for it to run up inside them.

Yeah, although you can revive them with white vinegar sometimes.

Don't wash them in anything that has fabric softener in either, it'll bugger them up. Either get some dedicated microfibre wash or use bog standard non-bio stuff (liquid, not powder).

Worth getting some decent microfibre cloths as well, because cheap ones will cause light swirling and marring. You want soft and plush ones for paintwork. These are nice and soft: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BK79YUO/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Is your boot carpet wet too?

Very odd if it is because the water would have to be going right up underneath the chassis. Water doesn't tend to run upwards :tongueout:

I doubt it's coming from there tbh, that's the rear beam bracket mounting bolts. It'll be the two black rubber tailgate stops that sit either side next to the rear lights, seal them up.

Megs Scratch 2.0 is more of a cutting compound, so you're more than likely to be inducing swirls just by the nature of it. Think of it like T-Cut. You'll need a finer finishing polish to safely remove swirls.

Not Neros specifically, but road tyres will go off quicker. A good half a dozen laps at pace round Oulton will see the understeer coming in. Can still have a good day on road tyres.

It'll understeer on any road tyres when pushed tbh, you just have to manage it or go for a more dedicated track tyre.

Hit the bumper brackets with a hammer and bend them up. The buldge is where the fusebox sits on the other side.

Yeah you're gonna need that 😂

Gyeon do a matt range of stuff. Cure Matt would be ideal with it being a spray sealant.

AF Tripple is ideal.

Does sound UCH related.

Still holding up better than 3 year old Fords though :tongueclosed: Seen a few with rust forming already.

Odd place for it to leak, but not unheard of i suppose. It's usually the gear selector that they leak from.

Cracks me up everytime those films.

I think anyway. £500 for belts and dephasher then roughly another £100 for waterpump.

£600 is around the ball park price for the job.

Also found this which confirms what the AP brake guy was saying.

Good video that. Interesting when he says at the end about the transfer layer wearing off after a few weeks of normal driving and that you need to redo the bed in process to get that layer back. Might have to try that because i do notice most of the pads i've used don't feel as good the next...

They are helical diffs just like the quaife. The OP's Honda mates will be referring to the MFactory Plated diffs which are available for other makes. They don't make a plated one for the Clio. The first MFactory ones for Clios were terrible if i remember rightly, way too much backlash.

I'm sure my car would be faster with you driving it .
