oh sweet, did you get RS monitor back on there?
Yes it was already there. Don't know what I did but the radio have all settings stored. I write them again in MFD but nothing... I did all again and nothing. Than I went to Audio settings Radio2012 and click the write there and it all come alive... But no sound 🤦♂️ check the settings again,hard reset, disconnect battery still no sound. The last thing I could try was disconnect the Powerbox 65.4 amp as I remember when I fitted that had same/similar issue and disconnecting it from the unit behind glovebox and connecting again did work so lock the car, went home for about 10min to get tools ,drink something and when I went back to the car start the engine to move car it started to work 😁 So all good in the end

very nice car and spec
clio 4 rs is a underrated car, very playfull chassis with predictable lifoff oversteer (cup pack)
just to help, that colour (rouge flame its called) has a colourcoded clearcoat. so look out with polishing, if you polish to long on one place it turns to orange and its really hard to get resprayed right shade of red. furthermore the UV protection isnt great ( like most red paints) colour will fade eventually sadly(or store it inside) mostly starts at the spoiler first .
i am sorry this has not much to do with youre buildthread , but i like to warn/help you before its to late and you polished a scratch.
renault has NO good touch-up pens either, i taught they even discontinued these cause the touch-up made it pink.
how do i know... i work at a renault dealership and seen lots of stock clio 4 ,kadjar ,captur , turning orange due to UV lighting (sun) or after ''proffesional'' polishing turning orange

It’s ok we’re in the UK, we get f**k all Sun usually anyway so he doesn’t have to worry about it fading.

should i remove my post ?so if he sells it on not everyone is gonna inspect every angle of the car for different shades?
im sorry i just try to help.
edit: it will not turn pink ,but red with orange. the renault touch-up make it pink / turns pink ( for stone chips etc)

maybe they changed the UV protection over the years cause renault still uses this colour to this day since 2013 (clio 4 introduction)
RS came later than stock clio 4 , maybe Adey's is a late model year..

How's your scuttle panel rubber bit that touches the bottom of the windscreen?
Noticed yesterday mine looks shite

Got it off currently and looks fine. All one piece with the plastic which is odd

good thing you guys clean it under there . the wiper mechanism sometimes gets stuck due to rust and moisture , then its almost solid and cant move . doesnt happen many times but can happen on clio 4 (and is fixable with some time invisted). atleast it hasnt got the clio 3 problem getting play on the mechanism and damaging your bonnet.

After booking on for a full day at CSF I thought id get back on the adjustable top mount thing, you may remember I ordered some before Christmas through Ktec racing, who bailed and couldn't even provided a delivery date. I went direct to Compbrake who had them too me in under 2 weeks. Had another issue with their customer service but the product was here and ready to fit. (they quote supply of a hole saw in multiple places on the website though they no longer send them and say the never have, annoying as it added an extra days wait to do the job over the weekend)
Using the suppled cutting guides I chopped into the shock towers to allow for adjustment, though once set these will be covered by the scuttle. Nice bit of kit, need to get on some ramps to get them aligned and setup. Opted for the ones that fit with oem style springs and shocks.
First drive on them tomorrow so we will see if there's much extra road noise and how they feel.

Mine seized on mine, as you say they get stuck solid and snap. Relatively easy and quite cheap to replace though so not the end of the world.good thing you guys clean it under there

normally they only snap if you ( the person) accindently breaks by trying to lose it up. if had them even when the motor stops working (eventually burn out) but not break.. so first for me hearing that
. if the mechanism break you can throw it away, but if mechanism is still one piece it is fixable . can make a guide for interested (eventough it isnt rocketscience , and some cleaver people here)
