Great job on the repairs especially if not done any welding before.
I too feel the same. Can bolt all the rest together but zero fabrication skills lol.
I have a couple of keys and receivers in the garage out of mk1 clios. They are poss paired up but i cant remember 100% as had them for years, no idea if working or not. I was going to ebay them off but if your interested give me a shout.
Airbag ecu can simply be changed for another no issues, apart from config may need programming to suit airbags.
You can also unlock/reset crash data on airbag ecu with Ren0link, easy to do if you have access.
Type d is ok that mixes with water no problem. Its them waterless coolants that require more prep, chances of ever needing to run them in a clio are pretty slim though.
From experience on the clios and megs, when you open the thermostat housing bleed bolt you can watch the water turn from clear to green when bleeding, so you know exactly when most of the water is out. Just keep topping the header tank up whilst bleed is open until its pissing a nice stream of...
As above give it a blowjob. Usually loads of extra shite comes out of the matrix, rad and block when you do it so its worth doing. It also doesnt matter if you dont get all of the water out with normal coolant. Only need it fully drained if using fancy stuff.
Sent it as pretty low torque value. I didnt consider differences due to the leverage, any sums needed? All new stuff to me, im used to sticking a socket on the torque wrench. Ican tighten stuff up by feel good but as i have torque values to hand seems sensible to use them.
Ive been looking at them on ebay, ill take a punt for occasional use. Was ideal earlier to torque up a couple of sensors where deep socket would not fit.
