    A sticky question

    This problem has been around for years I know, but surely there must be a 'solution' to the sticky finish on the RS Clio plastics, I know it can be stripped off with some trouble or even replaced, but I am looking for something that would take away the sticky 'feel' without removing or...

    The TJM Project

    Hey, it's got an MOT again! - October 2023, did all of 11 miles since last MOT in February 2020. Just needed a bottom ball joint due to the gaiter being perished. Since last post on this project, the only event was the n/s quarter glass got smashed (whilst parked up and no idea how). That was...

    Need new rear Tyres Kumho?

    Thanks for all the advice guys, will keep all in mind when it comes to it. I have seen some Nankang NS20, which have a similar pattern to PS3 and in my price range, anybody tried these? As for wet driving, not too bothered as rarely take the car out in the wet, and even if caught out wouldn't...

    Need new rear Tyres Kumho?

    Hi Guys, Happy Easter Thinking of getting my Clio out of retirement, been about 4 years since last use. Looks like the rear tyres will need replacing, Mich. PS3, but badly cracked around the side walls near the tread which seems a problem with these as I have done less than a 1000 miles on...

    Windscreen replacement

    Sorry no, the screen company procured them, and part numbers not included on invoice. The screen with fitting was about 430, and another 210 for rear quarter.

    Windscreen replacement

    Sorry for late reply and doubt its of any use to you, but... Had mine replaced just over a year ago, was done and sourced by independent local company who got it from Renault main dealer at my request and insistence, The first glass the fitters bought out was incorrect despite Renault assuring...

    Photos of unbent jacking points😂

    Not sure how much this helps much, -the only2 pics I have when I straightened mine out. Mine were not totally manged, but were bent over, I managed to use a sideways positioned jack to straighten them out rather than a big hammer. The inner piece is a bit longer as you can see in the photos.

    Carcoon Anybody have practical experience of one (and on a Clio)?

    Hi Guys As title suggests, I am having thoughts on an outdoor Carcoon for the Clio. The tailored cover I have used for the last 9 years is just about to give up, looked at a few Carcoon videos and maybe this is the way to go as I haven't used the Clio for the last three years, and not sure...

    Key fob question

    Hey, didn't see anyone else putting you right.... Yes, it's a radio signal at 433MHz, the pickup is a small unit fastened around the ignition barrel. You can take the blade out and renew that but the send/receive circuits are encoded to the ECU, so that part is not easy to change.

    Home plating kit

    A few years back did a few small zinc plated parts with a Heath Robinson set-up . Cost about £25 for a pair of zinc anodes and chemicals, I already had a regulated PSU to supply the power. The results were fine and quite pleased with the few small parts I did and they still look good after...

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    Only one glass is etched on mine, I was never sure if this was a security extra added by the dealership, may be someone will come along and say. Both glasses replaced were the original factory fitments and neither were etched.

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    I thought the UV was in the laminate, not sure but hope so as UV coating tends to scratch. The car has been laid up for a couple of years now, so had to sort it myself, I don't think most ins. would be interested in fitting manufacturers glass on a car of this age?

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    Yes it was, the first screen was incorrect even though Renault dealership insisted is was right (supplied the VIN), apparently there is something in the depths of the Ren system about it if they had checked, so they got it right second time. Not convinced it is worth the extra dosh though - the...

    Renaultsport Spyder

    I thought it looked quite good from the front and side and quite modern, not keen on the rear end though -which I suppose has to accommodate the mid-ships 2.0L Did anyone else see this episode -I'm a big fan of Bangers and Cash, lots of quirky people like me.

    Renaultsport Spyder

    Was interested to see a Renaultsport Spyder at Mathewsons auctions - "Bangers and Cash" TV prg, most probably a rerun. Never seen one of these before and wondered if it was based on the V6 Clio or what? and if anyone on here has one. It went for 25K at the auction and pretty rare car in UK...

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    Update The quarter glass was replaced by a local company, it's genuine Renault glass, dealership says this was the last piece in the country, I'm glad it matches. At the same time, Renault also supplied the windscreen, despite supping them with VIN etc, it was the wrong screen, the fitters...

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    Thanks for the offer Arch.. I am in contact with a local replacement company and hopefully they can sort it with some new Ren. glass, I expect to get the windscreen done at the same time. It'll be a big bill, but hey ho. Cheers all that took an interest.

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    It has crossed my mind, but don't intend to get the car back on the road until next spring, I will do the right thing and sort this myself, I took the chance and what I saved in ins. will cover this I'm sure.

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    The car has been covered up a few weeks, just took cover off to charge the battery as I do every three or four weeks and found this damage:- it must of happened in the last few weeks but don't know when, it was not noticed until the car cover came off today. It looks like side impact right at...

    Central locking not working

    Just to get up to date on this for others who may come across this problem, no-one has any idea or cares it would seem! NO, the passenger door key does NOT fire the central locking. I found you can still lock the car using the dash switch, and exiting passenger side and lock with key, I was...

    182 cup pack spring options, shocks and top mounts ?

    You wont go wrong with the Eibach Proline springs, better quality than Renault, ride will be as good or better and will settle after time and look just right, I'm glad I changed over from OEM springs which in my case kept breaking. I paid £120 five years ago for front and back set, those came...

    Central locking not working

    Just to add, as I couldn't edit the above..... Have checked a couple of fuses in interior panel which relate to the C/L and they are OK. The C/L dash button works fine, and opening interior doors cancels the C/L all as normal, and it looks like all other electrics work as normal. Am I correct...
