It wont turn over at all - I just get dashboard lights, fan will work though... Currently in with my local specialist to diagnose the issue... will report back with the issue and solution

Will do It wouldn't jump start, forgot to mention that - even connected to a much more powerful battery/car combo (Shogun with unrated battery)...hence me thinking it's not battery, but will try another one...

not yet, having had a battery go before and I had prior warning of it's imminent demise, but not this one (which is only 4 years old.... )

yeah -- won't crank over at all, bump starting has the engine running but as soon as you stop, so does the engine. So sort of ruled out starter motor, battery, alternator etc...

Without warning the trophy's decided to throw a wobbly... I've electric power, but when starting there's no reaction to the engine - ticking, turning, nothing.... Battery seems fine, once bump started it won't maintain drive either - I'm thinking its likely to be solenoid related, any thoughts?

Was it a professional job or could it have been joy riders? Either way ;(

Anything above 220-230 bhp territory is gearbox ending territory according to most turbo people.

Will let you know when mine come in - I've ordered a set from renault...

I'm still waiting on some samples to come through - when I have these I'll post an update up....

Its had solid top mounts fitted in the past, looking at that pic. I'd personally remove the lot, test the dampers, bump stops etc before refitting. The knocking you mentioned - is it under normal driving or on full lock? There's a none issue on full lock, we've a thread on here about it...

Think mine needs some love - I have it regassed every other service, but it's not working i.e. not lowering the temp, so either I've a leak somewhere or the conditioner needs rebuilding :/

?

As above - any clio bonnet of a similiar age would do...

IRK, are you ok if I go out for a competitive quote - a friend of a friend works in the car mats sector I've learned and for the numbers we're talking about, I think I could get a decent knock down in price. Also, I'd be looking to get top quality ones - I've had the auto style ones in the...

The roof and bonnet look to have suffered also, which is why I think it needs a full and sympathetic clay bar, but depends on how damaged (and thin) the paint work is.

Happy to hear about the outcome, was worried as I have the original development exhaust he made for the 182 and it will need some TLC in the not too distant future and while a trip to cardiff can make for good day out, it's a hell of along way from Yorkshire lol.

This thread is reading like a "how to guide" for a top class restoration. Great work.

It's looks to have oxidised - probably been washed with fairly liquid at some point. The door, wing and mirror could be newer, hence the different appearance. Putting my car crash investigator hat on, I'd say the cars had a minor scrape on the drivers side, which has resulted in the new door...

Ive been running koni adjustables on the rear since '09 and haven't regretted the decision at all.

Only issue with using the fogs is I'm not sure it's a high pressure area for the airflow - might be worth checking with a bit of dye in some oil smeared on the lights, then going for a spirited drive?

If you just hand the car over without prep work etc i'd be budgeting anything from £2k to £4k for a full repsray, you can knock a fair bit off it though by doing some of the time consuming leg work yourself i.e masking up, removing windows, interior, lights and trim etc and prepping the paint...

If you find some - I'll take some also.

if it's auds - she had a kid late last year, so that'll be taking her focus of it i'd have thought.

Not sure on that - I know they're a member on here, it may be Sharky but not sure who the admin is of it. it is linked though...

RE the mileage question. As long as you keep to the advised maintenance schedules as a minimum and replace wear and tear parts when required, you'lll easily see north of 150k, think the highest mileage one is touching 200k now. We do have a some threads, which could be worth a read- trophy...

SGS one's are pretty decent - replaced mine 4 years ago and haven't missed a beat since.

wasn't a criticism lol - more of an irony comment.

Sounds like your Syncro's are on the way out. Best I've seen are Renparts in doncaster - they offer a replacement recon service as well as an exchange service from memory.

Iirc, I saw one for sale on the Clio sport facebook page at the weekend. Can't find the link though.
