I haven't fully as yet, need to get it back up in the air and suspect remove u shocks etc to investigate further, but winter innit now

Welcome

171k, just been using it tbh, thought I had fixed the clunk with a dodgy ball joint, hadn't, then realised pinch bolt wasn't shouldered so swapped to correct bolt and thought fixed it again.... Still there occasionally but feels maybe more top mount or spring related so may take the suspension...

You can, if someone can fit a merlin engine into a rover you can fit any clutch release setup you want to an old Clio, let Northloop fix it

Silly b****cks you're not selling it! Go back to cable where you should be, f**k hydraulic clutch it's pointless

@Daniel I didn't bother, gave up with the go pro years ago and just enjoy the day instead, but mate Dan got some so I'll see if he YouTube's them. And go there, it's the perfect Clio track @SharpyClio good to meet you and your lad too, hope you guys had a good day as well

Great day again, rained over lunch but I just stayed out after on the full slicks in the drizzle to see what happened and had a whale of a time

130 mile commute to Welwyn..... Commuting no issue in a Clio, I vote keep it ... 170k miles clicked on the way and 47mpg

Heading towards 170k now, got a clunk from the front so need to investigate that but overall it's just trooping along. Haven't returned it to standard, but still thinking about it at least suspension side, or maybe raise the bilstein up more, just as I'm getting old and bouncing about is a...

Yeah bunch of the service delivery and developers at my place are like that, busman's holiday as far as I can tell tbh

I still work in the depths of it all, data plumber I like to think of it, love it and hate it at times in equal measure but it's interesting and varied. No qualifications though, just on the job since 2012 and worked up from support tech to enterprise infrastructure manager for UK and Europe so...

I'd just be swapping the lot, radiator, thermostat and coolant temp sensor if no history of them every being touched Fan change is not right approach as that's just masking the issue. For comparison my 170k 172 runs perfectly with no overheating in traffic etc and I use it every other day...

Ahhhh, dairylea, babybell, laughing cow and that rubbery cheddar that bounces, my favourite

Great little write up chap, as said in the spotted thread, seen your car at Aldi several times over the past few months, we'll have to catch up at some point

Yeah that was me, seen yours parked there loads man, do you work there or just an avid Aldi fan?

She's ready for some point soon, getting pretty tired, but from afar and after a wash, looking resplendent. Such a great great car, love it more now than ever

Wrong, 089 in your car currently is longer geared than a 129 from the later cup cars. DCI I am not sure on in all honesty but 240 is modest really so the stock box with a quiafe or equivalent will be perfect

The turbines live on the MK1 these days though I'm afraid

£650 running driving and with MOT February 2017. Still used regularly, owes me a lot more than that now, lol

As above, I used to carry all sorts, but the cars been decent to me over the years so all I have is standard wheel change kit came with the car and my AA

Nah, brake upgrades on these are never really an upgrade just more hassle, the stock stuff is more than capable so it'll be repair and replace as necessary

Mega bonus, I still run mine regularly, heading into 170k miles now and she's a peach, although today coming back from Birmingham for work one of the front calipers is playing up and the brakes on front drivers side got a bit.....warm.... and smokey 😂

Was 263k and all going strong yep, all original, until some fuckwit jumped a red light and ploughed into me, cars now dead

Never really checked, the rack was already on the car and fine, I just bought new inner rods as wanted to do them anyway and after some research found out the 172 phase 1 were all male so 100% would fit the bump steer kit and they are slightly longer so would have plenty of thread on them too...

No MOT for 5 years and can see rotten sills from the outside so that's going to be some work. Still cheap currently

Yeah as said, mines a 16v/ Williams original power rack with the hydraulics removed, I then fitted 172 phase 1/MK2 dci inner tie rods and they work with the bridgecraft kit I have installed perfectly

60mm stuff should be fine, may need ast top mounts for the shocks. Driveshafts will be too long so you'll need to do something with those, no idea what as I very deliberately avoided having to mod them where possible to keep components standard With valver manifold and downpipe you'll want a...

My rear is stock MK1 as never felt the need to change it, just with 10mm hubcentric spacers per side and a custom fitment white line rear arb which frankly don't think really does much

Oh and pms spherical bearing/strengthened later spec with the extra caster lower arms
