Cheers mate, maybe just coincidence for me and obviously not a problem for you but it didn't do it when I got the car and the sunroof started leaking and flooded the car so I believe that's around the time it started but I don't use it enough to know for sure. It's since been sealed and all...
PS4 on everything for me apart from the ClioVan which runs AD08RS and my little 1.2 8v which runs some midrange Hankook ventus which cost more than the car. my 197 doesn't seem to bother if its wet or dry, I cant drive fast enough on the road to unsettle it!
Wish i had never sold it (although at the time i had to) a genuinely fantastic car, jack of all trades, just as engaging as ANY RS car I've ever driven or owned.
I ended up with a few months of a 250 mile commute a few days a week and it was just as impressive at that as it was at terrorising...
Any mk3 RS clio will have a TL4 -

I think the problem is always going to be relying on someone else/garage. firstly because the cost of labour probably makes it uneconomical and secondly because, well finding someone reliable isn't always easy
Id say, as dan said get it into storage long term and attack it yourself, everything...
Only issues we've had is the auto full beam having a mind of its own, it either blinds everyone or doesn't work. And the reversing camera is unacceptably bad!
Welcome, My Mrs has a Valencia orange DCi85, they drive fantastic, big step up from the mk4 in both interior feel and build quality and definitely in the way they drive!
This!
when I used to go to rolling road days from here then generally the healthy 172s made high 160s and the healthy 182s made mid to high 170s, but of course that figure was really only good to let you know if your car was "about where it should be" as I'm sure on another rolling road you...
The problem you will probably come up against is those units were terrible for the coating on the front peeling off so people will just skip them rather than sell them.
This seller is breaking a car that has one but the front has suffered the same failure: Breaking Renault Clio Mk3 3Dr Silver...
from memory there is a TomTom Sat nav one (also available in gloss black):
a Bluetooth one with no sat nav (possibly the same unit, they at least look the same!):
and then the non bluetooth, non sat nav one which looks like this:
Is it the correct stereo for the car? a mk3 came with a few different ones. That looks like the aftermarket wiring harness, trace it back and see if there is a connector block
you will also need to remove the metal cage from the inside of the housing on the dashboard.
Awesome, looking forward to seeing the progress of this done.
+1 on the airbox strap - mine doesn't have one, I'm sure I've binned them in the past!!!! Mine has a missing airbox clip and I remember how pleased I was with myself a few years ago when I found one and sold it on eBay for £9
