Im sure somewhere sells this cheaper.... have a search around.
Its happened to me in the same strange way: Drove to go shopping, came back and chucked my bags in the boot and wouldnt start, just click click click. Definitely the battery. Happens more when it gets cold outside too.
The screws can be a pain to get off, especially as the cars are now getting a lot older.
Perhaps it would be easier to take it to the garage. If you do want to persevere though I usually find if you get a flat blade screw driver under the screw head to prize with and then use another one to...

It probably will be best to have a go yourself. Its not a tricky job and will be quite rewarding to do yourself. You will find there are loads of other minor job like this you will need to do over the course of your ownership. My advice would be to pay the £12 membership and then...
Everything points to injectors considering what you have replaced already. I dont know what clip would identify in terms of injectors but it might be worth your while having the injectors cleaned which would cost £50ish and take 3-4 days or buy new ones (make sure they are genuine ones , search...
Juts a heads up for anyone that is after cheap but decent engine oil
Eurocarparts have a sale on Shell ultra oil and it is showing as £19.99 but you get 10% off that using EXTRA10 as the discount code...
Probably not, renault OEM ones are good, eurocarparts ones work but dont last and are crap at preventing moisture from getting to the plug.
In my opinion, yes , definitely get them, the blue magnecor ones are awesome, look cool too.
They are pretty rare but they also look the same as any other mk4 clio so really hard to spot them. I only tend to notice them as they have different DRL than the others.
A thread a month or two ago suggested the Karscher K4 premium was good. It was on offer at homebase a little while back and I bought one and it has been pretty good. To be fair its not been miles better than my 2003 Halfords £30 job.
Look into Nilfisk perhaps.
You just need ot go a little deeper, cut this:
keep going, no need to spread the cuts as much.
Once you have done 1 you will be able to do the others really quickly.
Use the thick disc it came with .
No need for chisels and that sort of stuff. just keep grinding till the head of the bolt has separated from the thread. The disc will then come away with the help of a tap of a hammer from behind.
You will then be left with the hub and the thread sticking...
Just use the one it comes with - should be fine.
Cut the head and disc like this , keep going deeper , keep checking every now and again to see if you have reached the bottom of the disc as you dont want to cut too much into the hub behind although its not the end of the world if you do strike...
