Hi so I have a clio 1.2 (2009). When I’m driving and downshifting to 1st gear ar a junction or whatber it’s really hard to go in. Also sometimes it’s also hard to downshift to 2 or when I’m up shifting from 3 to 4 it gets stuck? Any suggestions? Also the engine at 1500RPM when setting the gas to pull off makes a horrible screaming sound.

got a video of the noise when setting off? as above check the gearbox oil level and have the clutch checked.
How can I check that? Sorry this is my first car I’m still learning haha
The car has only done 86k I hope it’s not the clutch… I will upload a video of the sound when I get the chance.

depending on the style of driving its had a clutch at 86k/13yrs isn't unreasonable. Stick a video up and we will be able to help further.
This is at like 1500RPM

is it a TCE 100 engine? sounds fairly normal in that video but videos don't pickup sounds that well, so there could be a boost leak if thats what that faint whistle is (which may sound louder in reality)
any sign of any oil leaking down the intercooler? take a picture of the intercooler (behind the lower front grill to the left of the radiator) and take a picture of the engine bay with the bonnet open to see if we can see anything odd with the boost hose near the oil filler cap.

Okay will do today, also what are your thoughts on the gearbox? I know clip’s don’t like to go into 1st at anything over 10mph but even then it’s very notchy and the gear changing in general isn’t very pleasant.

ive never had any issues getting into first on them, i would get someone to check out the linkage to make sure nothings worn, as was mentioned above check the box oil level or give it a change.
