Hmm okay, thanks for the re-assurance, I think I will take the gamble and do the clutch and stick the gearbox back in and hope it's sorted.

I would say it's affecting all gears, certainly blocks going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th but for obvious reasons I don't have much experience of over 6krpm in 4th on the road!

Hi all, I have recently bought off of my parents a nice 07 Clio 197 low mileage, loads of history and it's had a very easy life mainly used by my mother to drive to Asda. One thing that is irking me though is an issue where above 6k rpm it's hard to change gear, it blocks and you really have...

They look good just renewed my membership so I'll give him a pm. Out of interest what did you glue them in with?

Thanks for the link, any idea how much he sells them for? Think I do need to be a member its about time I renewed it anyway!

As titled really the right hand thumb grips is ruined on my 182 and the ones I've found online are hilarious money. Is there still someone on here selling them for a resonable price?

Having looked at the them they are loose and have the black line down the back of them as you said so I am confident this is the leak thanks for your help!

Apologies I didn't read what you said correctly I will have a better look.

I'm not sure this applies to the 18. I have attached a picture of the boot floor and I can see no black grommits.

The rear right of my boot is leaking quite a lot of water in heavy rain after doing a search on here I tried resealing the light unit but it's still doing it is there anywhere we where it can come in?

Having seen another thread just bear mine with nangang ns2r's being recommended I can't help thinking that the harder compound version might do me well. Does anyone run them just on the front with a normal summer tyre on the rear for trackdays or is there to much of a grip differance to do this...

There was no understeering or wheelspinning! And I did have tution for one session I wasn't driving like a lune which is why I was surprised they went so fast but to be honest they seem to look fine again now they have done some road miles, maybe I was overreacting wish I'd taken a picture now...

So I did my first track day Saturday and it was brilliant but also slightly frustrating as after the 3rd session I had to take things pretty careful. The reason being that my Goodyear eagle f1s that I've always rated very highly on the road started graining badly and as they aren't that old I...

Pistonheads have just done their write up. No fancy dampers etc but much improved gearbox and quite a few changes to the chassis 3 seconds a lap quicker apparently. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/euro-cars/clio-renaultsport-220-trophy--exclusive/31696

For reference for anyone who ever looks at this thread I rang up Renault to be sure and this guy has it right. 75W-80 synthetic and GL4+.
