Hi everyone time for my first post

I took the plunge and bought an '03 expression 1.2 16v

I now have a few questions that you might be able to answer.

what is the correct oil 10/30 or 10/40

Timing belt change should it be evey 36000 miles ?

The wheels are not standard they're 17" and I was thinking of replacing with the standard renault alloys but there seems to be a lot of variations, the spare is 14" and the alloys on ebay etc.. are 15". which is the correct diameter ?

could someone supply a link to a photo of the wheel or does it matter which clio alloys should be fitted

Also looking for a good scratch remover. Does a T cut type of liquid help blend in the colour?

whereabouts on the engine block is the engine number

is there anything else I should know?

cheers folks

diameter isnt improtane but the standard alloys are 15", they must have 4 stud pattern to fit, the standard ones are 5 spoke and should come with centre caps, change timing belt every 5 years or 75k

Oil - 10/40 or 5/10
Timing belt - don't know
Wheels - 15" (picture)
Scratch - I wouldn't use T-Cut but if you need something similar try Megs ScratchX, but it depends on how bad it is.

10-40 or 5-40 is what you want in the UK.

Timing belt offical under Renault rules ever 72k/5years whatevers sooner I'd never leave it more than 60k and 4 years though.

I'm not sure what the stock authentic wheels are unfortunatly. Clio wheels are all interchangable (V6 excepted) just got to ensure the offset is right.
