What? Another one? Yes, another one, seeing as one of mine is away for bodywork I thought I would squeeze this in.
This is a friends car. Really nice on the body, suspension, brakes all work, not bad at all. But the engine, sadly, rattles like someone took a bag of spanners on a buckin bronco...
OK OK So the title is a little provocative but its actually a 2015 MK3 999cc 3 cylinder Twingo with the engine under the boot floor - I believe a shared platform with a Smart car?
I got this off copart for fairly cheap, its got a broken front bumper and needs a clutch. Its for my son, currently...
(While you're here dont forget my myraid of other active threads... the Phase 1 R9 Turbo thread, the 21 Quadra thread the Clio V6 thread, and the (very short) 220 Trophy thread )
Not my car for a change but i've got this sickly individual in for examinations. First look indicates little or no...
As the previous one departs, the next one arrives (literally the same day :)
Sub here for more 21 Turbo shenanigans!
Bye bye
Hello!
In and ready for jigsaw puzzle time :)
From the same idiot that brought you the Phase 1 R9 Turbo thread, the 21 Quadra thread the Clio V6 thread, and the (very short) 220 Trophy thread :
A 1988 Phase 1 Renault 21 Turbo in Tungsten grey.
So...here we go again :P
Decided to treat myself to the EDC Clio I have been hankering after for a while and had almost given up looking for a nice LY one (Car dealers - ugh - amirite?)
Then I came on here to remove a for sale post for another car I put up, as it had sold and @Lewi86 has posted an ad for this car - and...
I think this is my third project thread on here now :) one day i'll learn my lesson. Maybe.
This is Alex the 9 (Numberplate D570 ALX... ALX = Alex = how original :D )
I first saw this car in 2001 at Shakey, it was owned by one of the marshals there. It was his dads car before that. At the time...
197 cup, 70k miles.
When shifting up a gear, or lifting off the power from harder acceleration, I get a wierd "flapping" noise from the front drivers side. It happens pretty much exactly when you would expect wastegate chatter noise on a turbo car. Its coming from around the belt/driveshaft/hub...

I couldnt afford it and I didnt have time for it. So. I bought it anyway... I've just picked it up after a marathon 2-day round trip (from Coventry to Aberdeen and back) from being...
Clio 197 cup Headlight question- my dip beam cut out last night. Mains, sides and fogs work OK. Identified fuses and relay in engine bay. Fuses OK, relay tests OK/swapped with fog relay. Bridged the connection and dip beam works. What triggers the relay? There is no signal coming to trip the...
....entertaining little things, these Clio's. Different to what i'm used to I must say.
Have just added a '53 172 to the collection, picked it up for a steal with a knackered PS pump. Nothing like taking an awkward Renault to bits is there?
:p
Makes a change for nothing to be seized...
