    JR flexi boot. Cut off one of the ribs so it doesn't rub on itself and they're grand.

    What are these wires?

    Wrapped bundle is for the red aftermarket alarm light in the centre console. The cable is a speaker connector, does your car have satnav? On satnav models they had a speaker above the cup holder in the middle so appears to be from that. Unsure on the other cut cables. Car may have had a nee...

    RIP my RB? Please help! Video

    Were the belts done recently and who by? Check the alternator belt is still in place and not wrapped itself around the cambelt!

    Chris's 172 Cup Turbo

    Pop a multimeter on it to see if battery. If not, check pull on the battery with the multimeter and remove fuses until it goes away.

    Best process to clean an old soft top?

    Dont blast it with a pressure washer. You just push the dirt deeper

    BG 182

    No idea why they change things that work! If that release bearing has been original to the car it's done well! Cheers mate. Exactly that, everything but the kitchen sink changed now! Fingers crossed it drives well this weekend once back on the ground. I had a quick nosey at him and he seems...

    BG 182

    It isn't bad for the mileage! Getting to a point where it needs bodywork, but its just finding someone reputable that is difficult. Cheers mate. Biggest job i've done on it since the beginning of ownership!

    BG 182

    Tapped in the little centering ring, fitted the new clutch and torqued it all up, pain free. New gearbox had the release bearing fitted with some lube on the shaft and this was slid straight onto the block with absolutely no issues. Literally took 5 minutes to mate it to the block when we were...

    BG 182

    In the mean-time I stockpiled new parts ready for fitment when fitting the new gearbox. Parts were a genuine Valeo clutch, Febi lower engine mount to replace the one under the gearbox as it had clearly never been touched, MTL oil as recommended by @JamesBryan and Mark, new earth strap as the old...

    These are the ones mate. Very standard buttons! I'd buy the pack of 5 as you get a few that often 'click' differently. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Momentary-Push-Button-Horn-Switch-OFF-ON-Car-Dashboard-Boat-SPST/261161661277?hash=item3cce72b35d:m:mObc3y9qhvlKA8hVUKfcsCQ

    Next up was the not so good part of ownership, when I started getting a loud rotational noise that got worse and worse during my commute to work! Appeared from nowhere one day, then just got louder the day after and I decided not to risk it and took the clio off the road. After advice from...

    Been a while since i've updated this thread and it's going to be a big one! Fair bit has happened really, not all of it for the good! But everything happens for a reason and its onwards and upwards with the clio! So had the annual trip to CSF convoying down with @leeds2592 in his lolvo as we've...
