Surprised mine seems pretty much rust free, had a good look under today Its the paintwork getting thin all over that I don't like- that's why I got stickers everywhere Hopefully its been garaged or under cover most its life, but not everywhere been checked out

Nice fella- went there today Got the car in the air and had a good look round- seems to be in pretty straight condition Aux belt showing signs of age, but cambelt not too bad. Needs changing as 5 years in a few months- he can do which is fab, but i want to get the MOT done 1st. (MOT 7th May...

ah ah right- thought the comment strange. Didn't know aircon pumps had clutch. don't think ive ever heard a thump when I turn air con on. will investigate tomorrow thanks

Not when i engage the clutch so not release bearing Havent tried air con tbh, but think the sound is continual, but sometimes goes when warmed up. Always comes back at some stage especially when cold

Got a squeaking engine bay noise, rises and falls with engine revs Assume its A/C on its way out, maybe water pump, or another worn bearing somewhere- anything else i should consider ? (Its not brakes, thats a different squeak lol) Am visiting Clio man over the weekend, Littlehampton West...

if its only leaking I would just patch it up, for now and maybe just replace pipework? Mine boils on track days and spits our over the engine bay- just clean it up and have bottle fluid with me But mines a cheaper version than yours :tonguewink: Looks great- BHP Lydden (Intermediate) _ May 7th

Took your lead and booked 6 intermediate today. Strange you can pay online, then have to send a paper details entry form off. Wonder how they know which 6 sesh's to allocate, as I assume there much be more than 1 an hour , only 6 hours Don't really want late ones, mind you weather may colour...

that's why your engines f++ked

This needed a correction- dunno why that typo came in lol

Redlining seems to just make more noise, and not that much more acceleration for me although there is something satisfying about not being able to floor the throttle pedal any more to be honest i probably venture into 6k+ a little more than i actually to notice...... eyes on the road n all that

Think the last part, answers the first part of your comment I certainly don't hold back, but don't drive round track with the engine screaming There are enough slower cars to chase down, than fast Elise to catch up with Rev counter below 5kmost of time :tonguewink:- its more the fun and...

Yes, not sure they apply all the reduction but some company's definitely take into consideration driving company vehicles. I had a company vehicle for about 10 years, altho they didn't apply a full reduction

Have had my £550 Y reg 2001 Clio 172 for about 16 months, and chuffed to bits. Done probably 6 full track days, and another 5 x 2 hour/evening slots and a few 20 min single seshs's at car shows. Mechanically it only need an ABS front shaft fitted (Got a new one put in) and other than reboring...

mine does. don't come on much, as I don't like braking :tongueout:

Welcome to the Club- well interested to see photos of the fabia splitter on

only problem is is first come 1st served, 10am, and then there may be a queue etc etc I dont mind if i dont get in as i live round here, but feel for anyone travelling a long way and not getting in (I may be able to sort some free local parking come think of it- 10 mins walk away if needed-...

my new (cheap) pads on existing front discs squeak a little bit on mine too. Was careful putting them on last November and used copper slip as the utube video illustrated, But at a certain pressure there is a small squeak and only goes when used a fair few miles to be honest idea is to upgrade...

The sunshine is beckoning nicely down here in the South today, (Although a cold spell is due imminently apparently) and makes me think of all the lovely Car shows/events that I will be attending in 2018 What events you planning on doing, give me some ideas, as i might learn something and attend...

4 for me i think, as dont like leaving the Mrs on her own for most of the day

Pretty much guess this is what i will do too. How many sesh's you gong for- all 6?

Got this back from ACE cafe = so its meet early and head for the seafront for those that want to go Hi Chris, Thank you for contacting Ace Cafe, and for your interest in InCarNation. As the interest for the event is so high, i am afraid that we have run out of car club space months ago...

Not booking track time till end of Feb myself. Am still debating whether to go novice or intermediate The last track day i did there i went novice, and ended up passing most drivers . The intermediate sessions only had 6 or so cars, and the advance had 3! So much so that at end of day they just...

One of my favourite shows of the year, and my favourite Track circuit I am signing up for 4 track slots at £20 for 15mins if you book before April- very reasonable A circuit very suited to small well powered Clios We stay in a hotel the night before in the Dover area, and get to the show 7am...

I am booked into the 1pm -3pm slot

Ah right. yes. 2018 Summer action day is same day as French Car show Donnington yh July

The ability to get a club stand has now passed

maybe go to renault and ask for a price from parts dept- or RPD trader on here

why not just ebay another set- easy to fit or, try a bit of wd40- it works revives plastic spectacle frames for a while

Given up trying to get hold ACE cafe to get a Club stand- best bet is to get a list of people to meet somwhere and drive in and park up together. Suggest we get there earlyish, so not be parked all way up to Marina Anyone up for it? My first meet as theres no Clubstand for Spring Action day in...
