I wouldn't be too proud of owning a clio 200... they look like the designers were drunk.
and congratulations on the polite introduction, I should really take some lessons from yourself.
It can take over 20 minutes to warm the car up, if you haven't been climbing through the revs at all.
Gets annoying sometimes, when you try and overtake a car half an hour into a journey, and the rev limiter catches you by surprise.
+1 After cleaning, it always needs coating with filter oil.
It's the oil that prevents small bits flying into the intake manifold, the filter acts as something to hold the oil to.
About 2 or 3 times over priced
I got mine done for £120ish at GDI
Edit: May as well get the Aux and Cam belts changed at the same time.
Aux belt is due in 6,000 miles, and Cam belt in 6 months
well mines a 182, so slightly different layout.
The shield that covers the whole of the back of the car, is stuck up with super glue basically. Does the job brilliantly, and I can't see any reason why it should ever need to come off again.
Mines now stuck to the floor of the car with araldite. No more rattles :approve:
The nuts and bolts that hold it up had corroded that badly, I didn't even attempt to remove them.
You could easily make £1300 back from selling little bits, daft things like the renault sport door sills, or boot carpet.
It all sells, and it would all add up, but could you be bothered listing every last bit for sale?
If we're talking of bargains, my 1.2s cost me £330 from Rimstock, the company who make them. Brand new alloys, brand new tyres :approve:
albeit crap budget tyres
I'd doubt it's the strut tops "rattling"
If you're really local, I'd offer a hand in finding out what it is.
I've cured that many rattles on my car it's daft
