350 on the original turbo?

Don't scrimp on the respray! Thats all all I have to contribute!

i know mate, it's the same disc/pad/caliper setup. The calipers came off a broken ST! got them for £95 delivered so not too bad price wise

Afraid not. Well I've swapped them out for a new pair of brembo discs and instantly it feels better, I'll just have to wait and see if it returns. If so I've got a deeper issue but I've no clue what!

No money required as they don't need to be rebuilt. All they require is servicing. Strip the pins & pads out, clean and grease everything up put back together. 30-60mins per side and a small number of hand tools. Maybe £50 if you had to get them done at a garage, free if you do it yourself...

I highly doubt it has the bhp/torque that has been stated then as it should leave you for dust (unless he can't drive of course)

I've checked the temps, both are evenly warm. The calipers were checked before being bolted on, the pistons are free moving throughout the full range. Pads appear to be evenly worn (baring in mind they've only covers about 1,000 miles it's difficult to tell) and if I jack the car up they rotate...

Morning all, Not on a Clio, but the car's not really relevent. I upgraded the front calipers, discs and pads on my car a few weeks ago. The calipers are from a Focus ST and are used but in perfect condition, and I bought a brand new set of 320mm discs and accompanying pads from Eurocarparts...

He appears to have had a LY 200 stolen at some point, might not be the same one though, this could be his replacement if he didn't get the original back?

Which won't pass an MOT.......

PS3's for me (that's what i've just fitted to the T5) They cope with the bags of torque I throw at them no problem, Never letting go unless you intentionally make it.

I've a local shop to me that sells these at £1 each, i've got about 10 in the garage that I use on wheels, under the bonnet, dusting the interior etc. They'd even be ok on the paintowrk if you're not too into detailing (definately better than a sponge!)

You guys with the easibleed problems - you aren't using your car tyres to pressurise are you? If you are, have you reduced the pressure to <20psi first? I've used many of these kits and every one has selaed correctly unless excess pressure has been used.

Have they ever worked?

It might not have rear speakers fitted. I know some MK3's didn't

Get a quote from a garage and see how the prices stack up. Remember his time isn't free, I know he's a mate but he's got to make something out of it too.

The gearbox issues aren't as common as people make out, it's only becuase we hear about them more with us being part of a forum. Their are thousands of 197 owners that haven't had issues, but they don't come on forums telling us that they HAVEN'T replaced their gearbox. The cost of fixing the...

Build quality in the mk3 Clio is much better than the previous clios! My 70k 197 with cup chassis didn't rattle, squeak or feel cheap. Of course, they've got a lot of catching up to do with the Germans but they're fine!

You may be able to reuse the old clip, depends on the condition really. Failing that a jubilee clip will be fine. Why on earth did you have to swap the calipers?

I have the same situation. My commute is only 7 miles. 5.5 miles of motorway the rest town. I average between 20 and 22 mpg. Yet if I go on a journey of say 50 miles, mainly motorway/ dual carridgeway then I can get 40+mpg. It's purely down to the journey and how I drive. I know my car is fine...

I had a similar issue on a pug 307 a few years ago. I used some silica based cat litter to draw the moisture out, it was fine after that. My headlight had an obvious break in the seal though, so i'd expect your's to be similar for that amount of moisture to have made it's way inside.

Would it not make sense to let a specialist take look and locate the issue rather than throwing parts at it at random?

I'm asuming that's in reference to the speed comment and me chasing him down? If you saw the situation you would see why I called him a tool, you weren't - so your comments are invalid.

I love these!, I almost bought one a few years ago but ended up with my pug GTI-6 (which i'm glad about). As others have said, it's a shame about the boot but the rest is good! A little worrying that it's had a respray though? Cheap resprays never last very long. I've just been behind one on...

Cheaper from your local Renault dealer. 5l should be plenty.

They're all pretty east to find! Maybe they decided that nobody should really need a picture to show them?

Odometer fault perhaps? Under reading the miles driven?. Maybe use sat nav to calculate the miles of a journey and see if the odometer is the same.

A slight camber in the road can cause it to pull under hard braking
