From memory the rear loom connects behind the panel under the driver's door just down from the bonnet release!

We know!!! Rule 1, never, EVER upload a picture of your Mrs. (Although you seem to have got away with it by just being a nice genuine bloke 😂) Looking forward to seeing car progress 💪

My black PH1 172 had an alloy bonnet, almost threw it into the windscreen the first time i tried to open it as i didn't expect it to be so light! - I remember a lad on here had a Sunflower yellow one with an alloy bonnet too and it got damaged and the insurance company replaced it with a steel...

does the car have stop start and if so was it an AGM battery fitted? My meg was doing the exact same, it would only happen when it was started and you had to turn the car off and on again to clear it, never came back since the battery was replaced

Wind deflector "delete" would be my first step

it will still even out the tension when the cam pulleys are loose (but cams locked) - Then tighten everything up, turn engine over a few times and re check timing by locking crank and cams

Good old thread revival - Seen this on Facebook market place and it took me back!

as someone mentioned above, there is so many issues with different parts and scenarios of the gearbox my mind first went to an engine/box mount or a driveshaft.

Check breaker yards for Clio RSI too, early ones also had them, that's where I got mine

Aux belt tensioner has seized by the look of it, id get that aux kit changed ASAP that's at risk of letting go and jumping the timing/writing off the engine

Looks like it goes really well that! Agree with what you say above, it looks like it's currently tyre limited!

Think ive been too long out of a 2.0 16v, been messing about with those 1.2 things and took this round the block and it felt like a rocket 😂

This thing has been sitting for a year! - I originally got a replacement engine from Renparts for £150 but it was pumped so got a refund and told to "dispose of it" - My camera down the plug hole showed loads of pitting on the cylinder walls, which when i then checked the failed engine in the...

The roof rippled on my 1.2 16v when I was 17 with the standard engine and coilovers 😂

looking at that ball joint above its not been fully seated and someone has battered in the pinch bolt anyway, assume ripping the threads clean off the pinch bolt so it will have been moving up and down in the hub, as above probably damaging the hub. With the above fixed if there's still issues...

Mine used to come on all the time, i had a decat though 😂 - Id reset it and it would stay off for 100-200 miles then come back on. The RSTuner always showed the fault and let me reset it though. Once i used the 98ron RSTuner map though it never came back on, assume henk disables it?!

Did i just step back into CS 2008? 😂 No engine pics?, interested to see the conversion!

Shaft was clicking and knocking, cheap enough from Autodoc to replace, done lower arms and ARB links while i was at it as they looked like they had seen better days! The febi arms come with all new mounting hardware which was nice! Bonnet latch felt horrible on it and didn't open or close...

Scrappys are still full of mk2 Clio's with good condition factory lines for under the car I've just popped a set on one of mine as someone had replaced them with something resembling spaghetti

Definitely! it always seems to fall on my weekend on at work but ill definitely get over

In 2026, in fact even in 2006 that's just not an excuse. I wouldn't give them a penny after the issues I had with my akrapovic, and I must have spent thousands with them over the last 20yrs!

Looks good!

Doesn't look any worse than any other timing chain to be fair in the videos I watched when I was looking at buying my Mégane.

My mates got a couple of these and they are really sturdy, nice storage + workbench. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/stc5500b-stainless-steel-work-bench

Some new toys for this haha Ive got it all installed and running, but going to order some carpet and get some MDF and do a false floor in the boot to mount the amp onto and tidy all the wiring etc! early 2000s style!

2001 Tyre buddies!!!!! looking good at its new ride height mate!

Its the throttle body, ask me how i know..... https://cliosport.net/threads/1-2-16v-fault-im-stumped.853862/

Won't do a y harm giving it a paint with VHT paint but iirc they rust from the inside out!

Yeah I agree but the LED headlights are night and day (excuse the pun!) when driving at night

For me if it's to be used as a daily driver, facelift for LED headlights! From memory the 200 generally runs close to that power figure where the 220 never runs 220hp, so I don't think the difference is as big as it sounds on paper. My Mégane gt205 (same engine) doesn't feel any slower than my...
