Car update: * daily Clio not road legal still being sold * 172 in the garage getting repaired * borrowing mum's car this week as I am car-less - this has now broken on the way to work. Wipers have just stopped and I can see naff all. Fuses good, swapped relays. Nothing. THIS IS NOT IDEAL!! In...

Yes it does. At least I am not going through this pain on my own.

You wanted to "unlike" me selling it! You have cursed it :tongueclosed:

@Dr Jekyll Have you sabotaged my car??!! As its currently in the garage getting the power steering sorted. And seeing as I am spending money on it I was thinking of keeping it. Hate spending money and seeing no benefit seeing as this won't make it more valuable to sell. Damn thing!!

Car is now in the garage getting this sorted. Got the pipes from Renault this morning (well it was the Ford dealership as that is apparently where you order Renault parts from....logic). Feels weird giving my car to a garage, first time in 10 years of driving I am not doing the work! Thanks...

The original plan this morning was to do it myself tomorrow after taking it apart and assessing it today. However it has changed after looking how it is done and I don't have any help from my step dad as he is at working.

It's currently costing me money this weekend therefore It is most likely staying for a while. Heap of French scrap

It was urgent until I saw the effort needed! I've taken it on the chin and going to take another day off work. Car is now the daily again. Needed urgent help and advice if I was going to do it tomorrow. But that plan has changed That plug looks ok, all bone dry. But I'll ask the garage...

Like the bodge, if it works then who cares!!!. But I've bought the right parts and want it done properly. But the metal pipe is quite corroded on the outside so not sure if it's able to do this simple fix.

The pipe appears to be leaking from the crimped join between the metal section (to the pump) and the hose section (to the pressure switch by the alternator). The metal section is quite corroded so probably worth a change. Going to speak to my step dad when he gets home from work and take it...

Why??!!?? I hate these kinds of jobs. I have removed the bumper, battery and induction kit to open up the engine bay a bit and that has made a difference.

Gear box moubt off...oh god this is looking more of a nightmare! It goes near the gear box mount but can't see anything

Car is leaking power steering fluid at an alarming rate. Think I have found the issue - the high pressure hose (towards the bulk head it is in some insulation stuff and goes into the pressure switch thing by the alternator) is leaking. Well everything else is bone dry and around the crimped...

Price has been dropped to £750

Will be missed when I put this for sale towrads the end of the year

It is really growing on me too. Making me get restless to buy my mates (same one who used to own this) E34 535i. I just need to sell a car first to do it!

Not after boost personally, prefer NA and the noise it makes! I am only being OCD with getting the engine re-built as it has just ticked over 170k miles and with the extra power through it with cams and ITBs I don't know it will last for long! Plus the enginebuild was a lot less than £4k but...

So bit more progress on this. New engine is in. Was really easy to do once we got our heads around the starter motor as the loom on the engine and car were slightly different but did the same thing - just joined up differently half way down the loom. Other things have been done like the...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331946808921?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Renault Clio 1.4 Dynamique - Silver 3door 107000miles on the clock. MoT till August 2017. V5 present. £900 but will consider reasonable offers Car is in very good mechanical condition, drives...

Also make sure you put a small punch mark where you want to drill as the slightly curved surface is a nightmare to start drilling on, otherwise the drill will wonder.

Stop it!!! As I so would tomorrow. Going to wait on this job offer I am hopefully receiving this week first then I can see what my financial situation is. Plus I want to wait to sell at least one Clio first, probably the normal one after it's MoT test in two weeks.

No pictures unfirtunately, but same colour and wheels as this one It's technically not for sale, but he said he would sell it to me. He doesn't need to get rid of it. No sure exact price but it does sound reasonable looking on eBay. It is the same friend who my step dad bought the E36 from...

Did a few more things that have been annoying me for a while.... Finally sorted the brakes out. The Ferodo DS2500 pads for the front I bought I couldn't get to fit, they were just far to thick to go over the disc. So got some Brembo OEM ones, had these on before and liked them just wanted...

Few more bits to do on it over the next year, but as is it is very good and makes me smile!!

This is the only reason why this one was bought. It will work out better value in a way as it was broken, just needed a bit of tlc

This car has sort of temporarily put a stop to Clio progress, but it does give me a chance to save up for engine mods next year! But basically, me and my step dad are off to the Nurburgring in 8 weeks (17th September). The current car list on the drive way is my Clio and his Corsa. Would love...

Nice and simple your wiring solution. I bought some cable tidy that I ran down the sides of the car and cable tied that to the chassis to hide my wires and that. Didn't think to hide it like you have. That is a nice colour you are going for, little lighter than what I have. What are you going...

Road legal. I enjoy driving it so it's not just a track car. it does play on your mind havig to drive it home, so it calms me down a bit and try not to be a hero on track. Would like to have a tow car and trailer, but don't have the space to store a trailer. But would still keep it road legal...

I'm happy to remove the material off the tabs, but didn't want to remove any off the other part of the backing they are now the same "length" as the old pads so should fit nicely.
