On a side note, Flickr has always been better than photobucket, even from a qaulity point of view. But what really turned me off PB a few years ago was you cannot edit any of the titles or album's once the pics has been posted. If you do, the pics disappeared. With Flickr, you can add descriptions, changed titles and even move the pics to different folders on Flickr and the posted pic/pics still stay visable, as the were before, just with the change of info :up:
Car is still look awesome mate, really nice oem+ example :up::smile:

You're so right, I still can't believe i've lost all my photos on here, I mean these threads take us all a lot of time to create and keep up to date and is cool to look back on what we've done. Not like I can go back to the start and replace all the photos, that truly would be a mission!!
The thing that slightly confused me with Flickr was that I uploaded those photos earlier, got the codes, posted the photos, logged out and now I can't find them anywhere when I sign in again. Yet the photos still appear on here above!? Strange!
Anyway, updates from here onwards should be all sorted again!

Only thing that annoys me about Flickr is you can't, or I can't at least, get the embedded code for forums from my mobile whether on the app or web page. I always have to go on my Mac if I want to do that.
Looks great as usual.
Anymore plans for it?

Cheers matey :up:
Regards future plans, the list is very small to be honest as I pretty much have the car just as I want it now. As mentioned above though I have it booked into Engine Dynamics for a re-map etc and can't wait to see what it makes good or bad, otherwise new coolant bottle is getting sorted while there and at a later date I wouldn't mind getting the inlet powder coated silver to match the silver of the wheels, but we shall see. Odds and ends really!
Boooooost!!
Yeah saving will probably start shortly, after going out in yours tonight 😂 would be awesome!
In other news, the car has decided it won't rev past 5k as of Thursday, but no lights on the dash, no limp mode and it seems to run perfectly when running around town and normal cruise speed/low revs but as soon as you come off a roundabout say and accelerate, it won't go past 4.5-5k in any gear and if you hold the accelerator down for a sec, can feel it kind of coughing/light judder as it's struggling to go further........ it's booked into our local Renault for the 10th to be looked at and hopefully sorted so won't use the car until then just incase. Fingers crossed for an injector or something!!
So today was the day the Clio went into the local Renault and I hopefully now have some answers in regards to why it's holding back at around 5k etc.......... it's been recommended to change the coil pack and spark plugs to sort the running issue so these are being done. Typically, the spark plugs would have been changed when the car gets serviced at Engine Dynamics later in the month but they didn't quite make it and at least it's one less thing for Andy and the boys to do. There is also a small leak I've noticed too which appears to be the sump gasket so this is being done as well. Hopefully getting it back Wednesday!
That's not too bad I guess a bit of a s#itter as it's going to ED soon for a sevice, may as well get it all done at Mitchell's an just go to ED for the map??

What symptoms was you getting Steve?
I saw that first thing this morning mate and was like ":up:" nice one as hadn't thought of that tbh so got on the phone to Mitchell's at 8am and told them to do an oil, oil filter and pollen filter change on top of the work already agreed too. It's already having spark plugs so will take the book tomorrow to be stamped when I get it back. Still getting map and coolant (and bottle) change at ED so hopefully Andy won't mind, would have done it there otherwise.
The car suddenly decided it didn't want to rev past 5k when we were on the return journey from collecting Ollie's boosted Clio, but there were no lights on the dash, no limp mode and it seemed to run perfectly when running around town and at normal cruise speed/low revs! BUT... as soon as you come off a roundabout say and accelerate, it wouldn't go past 4.5-5k in any gear and if you hold the accelerator down for a sec, could feel it kind of cough/light judder as it was struggling to go further

The crank sensor can also cause that issue too steve.
Thanks Mark, didn't know that so if the issue isn't resolved this time, that will be the direction to go then :up:
Fingers crossed it is indeed spark plugs and coil pack as that's what they've changed lol......... but as above, crank senor will be another thing to check although hopefully it'll be ok now
After being in Renault for 3 days from Monday first thing to Wednesday evening, I finally got the car back last night and i'm very pleased to say that so far, so good! Gave it a little blast on the way home and there was no holding back or hesitation and it was revving as normal. So fingers crossed the new spark plugs and coilpack have done the trick. It was also serviced while there with a new pollen filter and I had the sump gasket changed too........ apparently the master tech (with 28 years at Renault!!) was trying to avoid to job as it was a big job to do lol but he did it and seems to have done it very well! Time will tell if there's anymore minor leaks.............. apparently all the subframe and all that was laying on the workshop floor as he had to take loads off to change the gasket. Oops! Can see why he was trying to avoid it! But all good 
In other news, this morning I've spent about 3 and a half hours on my French Car Show prep! Have washed the car with my usual Autobrite shampoo and given it a good coat of bufty stuff too. Wheels cleaned, tyres dressed bla bla. I'm well chuffed with how it looks............ how it looks after a 3 hour ish drive there is another matter!
Photos as it stands right now :up:
Had to put the sticker in, especially as it's blue
.............. the only small bummer is that I spotted this while cleaning it. Must have happened in the last week or so as was defo not like this when I last cleaned it. Oh well! Must have been a stone flick up and crack it!

I didn't see the sticker was blue... may have to put mine in now lol
Looking good though mate!!! Like you said how clean will our cars look when we get there??

Went to French Car Show today at Donington with @T9 0LLE with the cars on the club stand and had a great day, putting around 350-360 miles on the Clio......... just can't believe my sat nav took us and down the dusty track into the circuit and completely ruined how clean my car had managed to stay for the 180 mile journey up there in like 2 minutes, leaving me with a bit of a dusty mess on the stand 🙈 standing back a few paces, looked great though 😂
VERY early start!
..... and the 'i've been to French Car Show' photo, had to be done!
On the way back home however, the feckin' 5k revving issue returned so seems like the coil pack and spark plugs wasn't the answer afterall! More investigation is required!

It's had brand new genuine Renault spark plugs and coil pack but not leads......... yet! The thing is, there's still no dash lights, no limp mode and when plugged in at Renault, there were zero codes or issues logged!! So strange. Leads or injectors or maybe even the current map on the car could all be the next avenue to go down!
You got a spare crank sensor to chuck on it and try?
Can't remember tbh. But it's more likely to be that than injectors.

Crank sensor sounds like a good shout, shame you haven't got one you could just try, hopefully it is an easy fix :up: if it does turn out to be an injector issue I got a full set of the OEM injectors from Renparts for £130 delivered which was the best I could find for quick delivery
Is this the right part for the crank sensor? @Djw John @mintno1 @Dr Jekyll

Would also like to know this. I imagine it's still standard head unit related?
Looks it to me! Says Laguna but also F4R so it must be the one.

NON standard stereo with the steering wheel controls adaptor .so the controller still work..

Looks like the right one, shame you can't try one before you fork out for a new one, no one near you could pinch one off to test :smile:
As mentioned above, it's because I have an aftermarket Alpine stereo fitted with steering wheel control adaptor leads etc........... said 'Renault' there from the moment it was all fitted
Thanks for the sensor info too :up:
Yeah that's what I thought but mentions 172/182 as well so should be all good
