Changed the LH lower arm on MK2. Had a problem with replacing the old bush link between roll bar and arm, trying to squash it enough to get the nut on underneath. Why couldn't they make the bolt a bit longer?
From my experience the Clio2 is much more durable than the MarkIV Fiesta of the same era. I've owned both with similar mileage but the Fiesta was terribly rust prone and the suspension and steering parts were an ongoing maintenance hassle. My Clio is bullet proof in comparison and no rust...
I've fixed it! It was the inertia fuel cut off switch which was stuck on. I removed it with the plan in mind to bypass it then I chickened out on that idea and put it back on. The fiddling around with it must have switched it off . Everything works now, the relay's not buzzing any more. Brilliant!

My LH one is loose at the bottom and I'm told that the adjuster has broken which is a common fault. Does the entire grille and bumper have to come off? The upper grille has clips, how are these clips undone?
There are are couple of clips either end which attach the upper grille to the wings, I'm concerned about snapping them. How are these clips released pleased?
