The clio williams in the pistonhead advert in post 1 is mine.
Decided to sell as I got it quite cheap in the first place but I've fallen in love with it, so I'm considering removing it from sale. I've spent nearly £600 in the past 2 weeks of ownership, some of which is overly fussy stuff...
102,000 so far! Was thinking of a rebuild but some members on the other forum have done 145k+ with regular track use. This is my daily driver after getting refused car credit. These are what I used to own before the williams:
yep and the postman. I'm replacing it with a standard exhaust at the end of April for £116 + vat from the dealer, plus about £30 for a local fitter to replace it. It bangs on the bumper constantly.
The idea is to replace everything back to stock.
ha some cheeky bugger has stuck a renault bar code sticker on the rear of the mats. Ok so I can just buy and set of mk1 mats then? Do dealers still do them?
I like the seats but theyre a bit too soft for me. I feel the backs aren't solid enough and I feel like I'm falling down the back of...
lol I've browsed ebay, pistonheads and autotrader for one of these and I never ever noticed that the williams sticker isn't standard on the bonnet!
And the mats I thought were genuine?? They have the renault label on the reverse. I was gonna buy copies anyway coz they're looking tatty.
These...
Bought nearly 2 weeks ago. Have used a kestrel DA polisher and menzerna polish last week. 90% of the swirl marks are gone. A few straight scratches left under extreme light.
Here's a list of what's been done to it:
Bodywork is in exceptional condition and has just undergone full paintwork...
Thanks.
My friend who strips and rebuilds classic cars said it feels like an issue with the pressure plate.
He said the way the pedal goes solid in the middle of travel, then goes so loose that the pedal bangs against the floor he feels could be pressure plate problem
ok spoke to GSF and they said the part number just relates to a 'sachs' clutch for a 1.8 or 2.0 litre clio. He cant say if its uprated or standard.
So maybe clutch is ok and it's cable
Mine was cracked and causing an ABS light on the dash. Renault want £143 plus VAT :eek::eek:
Any idea where I can get one cheaper. Its for the off side front
just checked the receipt and it says 3 piece clutch kit from a company called GSF but it says on it 'send valeo not sachs'
Not sure what that means
It was a MRP of £143 too if that gives any clues
Just booked in for new standard clutch to be fitted. And new cable. They're gonna do the cable first, then clutch if the problem isn't resolved. Sounds like a paddle clutch has been fitted
I bought a Williams Clio 3 last weekend and the clutch is almost unbearable to use.
The clutch is heavy at the mid point - so when you put your foot on the clutch, the first 1/3 of travel is smooth and easy, then the middle 1/3 of travel is like trying to depress a house brick, then the final...
