my car failed on number plate light/loom. i didnt bother changing to loom just the light its self, got a genuine renault brand new one from ebay for £7 or something and it worked.
maby he means the CV joint had lost a circlip loosing all the little roller pin things, not sure if you can get...
cat wouldnt really cauise it to not run, usually just fail emissions.
id watch it hasnt threw an aux belt, wrapped its self under cambelt and caused it to jump a few teeth, it will still turn over that way but smash ur valves to bits while its at it
Its currently sitting on standard dampers and some red lowering springs, they arn't eibachs possibly spax or something? rear dampers are tired though thats why they are getting changed first, caught me out a few times in the damp/wet so im in the diesel for now lol
sport under the clio badge looks terrible, sport where it is without renault looks equally as bad, new style RS badge looks spot on thats my old one (rubbish pic but gives you an idea)...
new plates and number plate light arrived (both ordered yesterday, ebay seller Renault*Parts for the light and FancyPlates for the plates, brilliant service)

lol my mate used to have an ek9 and it was fast but my old 172 was quicker, over 80mph the 172 used to pull a considerable amount
i recon my standard 172 is quicker than one, not by much however
nope nothing to worry about, is it a black 53 plate by any chance? if so i may know the car (however loads have been helicoiled, just by the off chance!)
spark plugs have a long service life on these cars, cant remember exactly what it is, but make sure you use the standard plugs, they are expensive, but the engine runs much better with them. they are NGK PFR6E-10
non start will likely be the TDC (crankshaft sensor) on top of the gearbox, you can usually remove them, clean them and refit and that works, but sometimes they need replaced.
shaking, do you mean a gentle shaking, not a violent one? the cars have a lumpy idle as standard so they do "shake"...
