That's looking fantastic Paul, top work! How easy are the wipers to remove? I wouldn't mind cleaning mine up similar

Probably silver

Looks great but pleeeeease move the axle stand under the car. The front sills crumple for fun

Where are those mats from mate? Look fantastic

Anyone know the OD of the bottom rad hose? Wanting a new clip/clamp that bolts to the subframe. Presume the generic ebay ones will be fine?

Carbon canister?

Pop a multimeter on it to see if battery. If not, check pull on the battery with the multimeter and remove fuses until it goes away.

You sure that hasn't had a spraycan respray?

That is looking sexual. Colour match is spot on too.

Cheers mate, Didnt know what a 200 looked like

I'm not free for the next 3 weekends :eek:

Dont bother moving the battery tbh

Dont blast it with a pressure washer. You just push the dirt deeper

Earth

New clean plates and a respray of the tow bar and itll look mint

No idea why they change things that work! If that release bearing has been original to the car it's done well! Cheers mate. Exactly that, everything but the kitchen sink changed now! Fingers crossed it drives well this weekend once back on the ground. I had a quick nosey at him and he seems...

It isn't bad for the mileage! Getting to a point where it needs bodywork, but its just finding someone reputable that is difficult. Cheers mate. Biggest job i've done on it since the beginning of ownership!

Tapped in the little centering ring, fitted the new clutch and torqued it all up, pain free. New gearbox had the release bearing fitted with some lube on the shaft and this was slid straight onto the block with absolutely no issues. Literally took 5 minutes to mate it to the block when we were...

In the mean-time I stockpiled new parts ready for fitment when fitting the new gearbox. Parts were a genuine Valeo clutch, Febi lower engine mount to replace the one under the gearbox as it had clearly never been touched, MTL oil as recommended by @JamesBryan and Mark, new earth strap as the old...

These are the ones mate. Very standard buttons! I'd buy the pack of 5 as you get a few that often 'click' differently. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-Momentary-Push-Button-Horn-Switch-OFF-ON-Car-Dashboard-Boat-SPST/261161661277?hash=item3cce72b35d:m:mObc3y9qhvlKA8hVUKfcsCQ

Next up was the not so good part of ownership, when I started getting a loud rotational noise that got worse and worse during my commute to work! Appeared from nowhere one day, then just got louder the day after and I decided not to risk it and took the clio off the road. After advice from...

Been a while since i've updated this thread and it's going to be a big one! Fair bit has happened really, not all of it for the good! But everything happens for a reason and its onwards and upwards with the clio! So had the annual trip to CSF convoying down with @leeds2592 in his lolvo as we've...

Correct.

Yeah, got used to the knack of removing just the nut now. Loads of room with a standard spanner, dont even need a ratchet on them

Havn't actually driven it yet, but had it on axle stands and felt great into the gears, lovely and tight! Filled it with some MTL, might drop it after a few thousand miles and refill just incase theres anything as it starts bedding in! Looking forward to getting those first few road miles on it.

I have the genuine ones coming but this is good to know for the future, cheers. Is it worth fitting the little clips again? I was thinking I may aswell as they'll be brand new! Might give them a coat of paint or buy some acf50 for them.

With help from @YorkshireKyle but we got there in the end! Few bits left to torque up but seems to work. Gearbox feels ace @NorthloopCup cheers mate! I'll update my thread soon already started writing it up. Not done it for a while

Same

Yeee boi

Is this normal for the clutch release bearing to be different? Genuine valeo clutch. Release bearing is also quite stiff on the new one.
