A few more bits sorted. Apec discs and pads £45 Delphi drop links, £6 for the pair Boot struts, £10 for the pair. Parts are bloody cheap for the old girl! I did notice the lower arms are looking a bit crusty so i better get those done in the new year. I shall hopefully get it in for MOT this...

When he sold it a few years ago there was a big wad of paper work that went with the new owner.

Engine bay also got a spruce up.

Another job sorted today, noticed the washer pump wasn’t working. Instead of buying another one which are about £70 genuine i thought i would strip it down. Motor seized up, looks like the seal failed and let water in. Went through my tool box and found a couple of Megane washer pumps with a...

Few more bits done today. Clay bar then a blast over with the DA polisher, nothing intense, just wanted to remove a few marks and brighten it up. Boot cleaned out inc spare wheel etc. New gear knob insert.

Thats my mates old one 👌 Pretty sure it was Amax springs we fitted along with front and rear cup shocks and new top mounts (kit) was all genuine parts.

Common starting issues/stalling on these 1.4 16vs is a simple fix Clean the throttle body out, bolted right at the back in the middle. Will run like a trooper, used to be forever cleaning them out when i was a Renault tech back in the day.

Wet sand 2500 then machine polish with compound 👍

Sitting nicely now!

Onto replacing the springs, ended up finding 3 broken 😂 Probably should’ve replaced the shocks and top mounts but it will be fine for now, no play in the mounts and no leaks from the shocks.

First job was to sort the headlights, god knows how many Clio headlights Ive done over the years.

Another thread. This time its a little Clio billabong 1.2 16v thats been in the family since 2004. Originally my mothers car which i learned to drive in way back in 2005. And then subsequently thrashed the life out of it when i passed until i got my own Clio. My mum owned it up until 2018...

Aliexpress wireless CarPlay kit arrived so got it fitted, amazing bit if kit for £95. Runs off the original screen and headunit.

Nope, no rattles, engine was silent. They said some rattle real bad and some are really quiet like mine. Some snap on 50k some 150k, just never know when they're gunna go they said.

One chap One chap on his own did the whole thing, drove it in at 8am, into the waiting area, 8:30 thought id go get some fresh air and the engine crane was attached, walked back in 10 mins later and it was out. Bloody magicians All come from a BMW dealer background, guy who owns the place was...

N47 timing chain, all genuine parts, new oil, oil filter and air con regas is £1,099 inc vat Gearbox service was £449 Whilst you wait service as well 😂 The 3.0 diesels also suffer as well, they do loads, look them up on facebook.

Couple more recent pics from the last few weeks.

They do around 7/10 chains a week, thats why they’re so bloody quick.

Yes, a real decent garage who honoured their maximum claims limit within 3 months of purchase.

All this done and i was back on the road before 12:30, absolutely staggering! Nearly 400 miles, left on a full tank, just over half left. Drives absolutely mint, no issues with any of the work they have done and i am one fussy b*****d.
