Hello All,
Just thought I would say hello to you lovely people as I have already taken so much information from here and will probably take a lot more before I'm done.
I've just picked up my first Renault, a Silver Clio 182 FF. She is not a concourse car, in fact, she is a Cat D brought as spares or repair with no MOT, but that's not the point for this one! Basically, we needed something for the mises to re-learn how to drive, and I fancied a toy, one well-timed Ebay advert and a great seller later and shes on the driveway.
So my Plan. (I do all my own work on cars)
Clear scuttle drains - DONE
Remove, dry, clean interior - DONE
Full Fluids Service - DONE
Outer CV Boot - DONE
Remove rear seat belts - DONE
EML for EVAP system - maybe bypass
FIt Front Bumper in a uniform way - currently has a wide selection of different screws holding on, this hurts my OCD.
No reverse lights - not sure what's going on here needs investigation. Rear wiper has been removed so may have made short circuit...
Replace Yozza exhaust with KTR Ultra and new mounts - too loud for my preference,
NEW - ABS lights - Actually would like a pointer here, this came on when I ran the car on jacks- I guess it saw one/two wheels spinning and had a freakout. I'm used to Audi's doing this where it goes away as soon as the car is moving and completes a short distance steering wheel straight line all 4 wheels spinning together. Can I expect the same here?
MOT
The goal is to get this stage, including buying the car and transporting it my place for less £1500
Other
Fix Air Con
Retrimmed steering wheel
Maybe new stereo- haven't heard the std one yet, but do fancy having Bluetooth
