rears would fit but not the fronts the hub bolt spacing is different.

2 years, 8 months and no one's mentioned the wife or asked for pics or anything vulgar, it seems the place has grown up just like the Clio!

Ryobi brushless HP here for me, mine has taken masses of abuse and never left me stuck yet! 20yr old rusty suspension/subframe bolts etc with ease! You could probably get away with one of the lower powered ones just for wheels right enough but this is the one i use...

id start at the thermostat, you would expect the opposite with a stuck open thermostat where the coolant temp would go to normal under load and then drop off again under low load, but on a modern car with radiator airflow flaps etc that can open and close you never know! where are you taking...

Adam Audio T5V / T7V studio monitors /end thread! even after a few years I still feel like they are the biggest bargain of the century for cost vs performance.

as above, seized aux tensioners seem to be the killer of the belts. I've no idea how old the belt is on my van, ill do it next time the engines out, but now that its an older motor and doesn't do many miles, id happily leave and inspect up to 10yrs

it will fit yes, same engine and box as a 1.6 clio

aux belt slipping?

id guess £1500 for a flawless finish on my exclusive was a bargain paint job after reading this!

Welcome to the forum shigeo-san! I absolutely love how polite Japanese people are. Let's see some pictures of that twingo Gordini!

there was loads of us back in the day looking into solutions but no one ever found anything as far as I'm aware, at one point there was hope that a Mondeo tdci HPFP could be fitted, but I don't think anything ever came from it. This was all MK2 bits though, im not sure many people really pushed...

I've had almost all.of my aux pulleys start to fail the last few years, that does sound a similar noise but generally the pulley starts to wobble where that one looks ok. The fact it's due a belt anyway means I'd just replace it all anyway! Aux belt and tensioner long overdue they are 3yrs 36k...

There's a nice dci 106 gordini on eBay the now that would be a nice replacement

If a garage is worried about pressing that out, id be looking for a new garage!

they bolt in, not press

Just grease up the bushes, I had to do it on my wife's as it sounded terrible!

Got to have been on here at some point, it's got our wheels and our rear badge 😂

There is some hilarious CCTV footage of that!

Ahhh good old MK3 ownership! - it had been using a bit of oil which was unusual for an F4R in my experience as none of mine have ever used any, not an issue as I do about 1000 miles a year in it, except with my new job I've been banging it back and forward to Glasgow and hadn't given it too much...

Just an update to this, as I had the car stripped yesterday, it's been fitted for just over 12 months, 1000 miles... I'd go for the cheap ones as this is starting to corrode already.

I would have thought so yes!

As above, get a 172 loom and ECU kit, then you can have the non RS k4m map uploaded

they are of similar age so probably quite closely related. the 1.2 16v and 1.6 16v clios use the same front brakes, only the 1.2 8v had smaller brakes. if you are going to the hassle i would want to swap over to widetrack and 2.0 16v brakes/suspension.

sounds like it could be a noisy clutch release bearing, ive had one on my daily driver for about 10k miles, don't notice it until someone points it out now lol

whirring noise go away once the clutch is fully released? tone of the noise change as you press the pedal harder or release it lighter? sounds like the release bearing if so.

im sure opie oils do worldwide shipping, no idea on cost though! they are about the cheapest about in the UK for oils and the service is fantastic, Elf stockist too! https://www.opieoils.co.uk/

K4M 700, 1.6 16v 110hp

As above, hard shunt in that and you wont be walking again!
