:dapprove: As said mate, fully see why, so chip up, onwards and upwards! Better you have a car you can actually use, rather than it picking away at you getting you more down every time you look at it :(
I think they have probably been sat in a handfull of times lol
I'm like the RSPCA but for Clio's, I see a poorly one and I can't help it :o
Id love that engine mate but between buying this, my roll cage and wheels for my other Exclusive, my monaco Ph2, and a few other odds and sods...
The more I look at the pictures, the more I think the head gasket has gone - it looks to have some blow marks there, and I'm wondering if the poor map that was on it when I had it may have been the cause of the issues
I'v got another one :o
Now the eagle eyed CS members may recognise it, and that is because I have owned it before lol, see below:

So, how come I have it...
Gummed up inlets can cause funny idling, as can the thermostat as the car is not running at the correct temperature.
Id replace the bits above, and give the inlet/throttle body a good clean (if you are unsure how to do this, take it to somewhere that does - you could end up causing more harm...
Whats that lowered on mate? Bit low for road use, I should know as thats about what mine is at, and a standard height 172 would leave me for dead on most roads lol (mines set for track use)
Could be a number of things, is it all gears or just one or 2? Does it move nicely across the gate or stiff too?
Yes it will be an engine mount, they have one under the car, called the dogbone mount, when this wears it causes the engine to rock back and forwards so I would say it will be...
Wow very shiney!
Stick some decent springs on, will bring the ride height down slightly and will keep the handling playfull rather than cheap springs bouncing you all over the road
I feel I need to say it again - WTF?
Is that another player or some fucked up aprt of the game where there is some blood stained ghost style zombie going after people with a htachet singing nursery rymes?
This.
The nature of the build cuts down the buyers, as a lot of people will not want a stripped noisey itb'd car - BUT if you are a petrolhead, and are after a car that is 95% brand new, and wants for nothing, then this is perfect :)
