You wouldn't be able to use that if your crank pulley is keyed, unless I'm mistaken.

Here is the manual for the Mk3 Clio, start from page 352 for the F4R.

Just updated the settings so people shouldn't have to request to view now.

If the cams have moved that much then they have been incorrectly torqued up. First of all make sure the crank is pinned up in the right hole.
Keyed crank pulley is easy to do, simply rotate the crank on the old pulley bolt, turn engine a few times repin crank and check horse shoe goes in.

UPDATE on this (I'm fortunate I can just leave it alone for a while, then come back to it hence the randomness!):
Timing was retimed and same low power issues. Became convinced valves had become bent so whipped head off and frustratingly found no issues and valves seemed fine (tested them with petrol sitting on the top of them and no leaking). Put head back on and timed back up and treble checked.
Car driving worse than ever and now sounds a bit tickier on idle than it did. Pulled codes but nothing stored or present so I'm at a bit of a loss! Timing is fine now so I'm at a loss unless either a lifter or the dephaser pulled has developed an issue.
