Saw this at Crystal Peaks in Sheffield over the weekend. Only 6 left on the road according to howmanyleft. Was in pretty decent shape for almost 35 years old!

Yep, 30 days worth of catch up available on ours. Just checked and the Sky Sports F1 channel in there and goes back to 13th Feb (y)

Look like Borbet C's. had a set of those on my Corrado back in the day.

I don't know anything about the Clios earth cables, but when I needed to replace one on one of our Minis I used these

It sure is a bit weird. Assuming I've got the reg correct from the photo that is of course (which it looks like I have, make, model and colour all match)

Shame it's SORN and has never had an MOT (well not since the electronic MOT recording was introduced!)

Just treated myself to a new jack. I've had a lightweight ali one for years but it's on it's last legs and was only a 1.25t thing, so struggled to lift anything of a decent size. I'd forgotten how heavy a decent sized jack can be, this thing is 37kg. Halfords 3T low profile jack I didn't pay...

Very few (if any) OEM stereos have ISO outputs. You'll probably need a speaker to ISO converter of some sort. It takes the output from the speaker wires and converts it to an ISO connector.

This is the one i was calling half a screw. Id still be trying to put 2 more screws in if i were you, regardless of the fact the oem speaker was only held in with 2. The more securely mounted the better.

The one and a half screws holding the speaker in won't be doing the sound quality much good tbh.

All good here

That mat be correct, I have a couple of pressure bleeders too so next time I need to bleed anything I'll try both and see which works best for me.

I recently bought a manual oil extractor pump thing that has adapters for brakes/clutches. I'm yet to try it on brakes but it sure works well for oil! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CC8G4GV6/?tag=cliospnet01-21

You aren't missing anything, the bulbs are just a push fit. A 10 second google search brings this up. Skip to about 02:30 in.

OEM tyres were 215/45/17 - are they any cheaper or do you specifically want 225's?

s**t yeah, just looked in RPD - £611 for the full kit Inc dephaser, water pump etc.

That's shot up, used to be £5-600 didn't it?

Seeing this makes me miss my old T5 Looked a little different in the end though

Not a photo of the actual car, as I was driving on the A617 at the time but I saw a black Ford Cougar V6 yesterday. I can't remember the last time I saw a Cougar on the road!

My first thought was that English clearly isn't the OP's first language, then realised they're from Huddersfield, so my assumption was correct :p

I've enquired about the 1.8t components and it's not a cheap conversion. circa £3-4k for mounts, driveshafts, loom etc

Not for now, I've just got a low mileage std replacement that I'm doing a rebuild on before dropping it in. I've stripped the replacement engine but not found the time to put it back together yet. It's having a complete rebuild including all bearings, rings, seals, gaskets, oil pump, timing...

Yeah, I put some BC Racing coilovers on it about a month before I killed the bottom end 😆

Nice! I've got this one sat in my garage awaiting me finding the time to drop in the replacement engine. Great fun to drive!

I've got BC racing on my MR2, I believe they set preload from the factory so shouldn't need altering unless you want to change it of course.

Personally the corrosion on the alloys would bother me more! But as others have said, paint the brakes in situ.

I think F4R A8P8 is the F4R 832 engine, which is the Clio 200 engine I think. Should go in the 197 though, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.

It's a 2.0 diesel according to the DVLA

A few spots from Cromford steam rally at the weekend

11k from new Z3 owned by an old chap around the corner from me, its extremely clean as you would expect on that few miles!
