Wow a thread from before even my time :) I think the information above is a little misleading as it was my impression there was not an exact match in powder coat???? Has This changed anyone?

Yep the plastic is quite flexible and they just use buttons that are located into holes on the part it is attached to, push the button through the hole and it can be released. I just can’t remember how that tube is attached to the valve.

I’m fairly certain they cannot be refurbished and they are no longer available from Renault so unfortunately you are going to have to fork out a few quid (they were never cheap) It is a well known problem and there are threads on here that mention it if you search. I’ll see if I can find one.

It’s a long time since I did it but your best bet is to go in through the the wheel arch, remove the liners and then you should be able to get at the lower pipe and acoustic valve assembly.

Just visited all the examples listed for sale recently and most don‘t seem to have been moved on as yet. That includes the one on Collecting Cars which has not even moved on from “Pending”! Lots of people on the FB page wanting them but unwilling to lay down the cash?

Well that’s one way to avoid the faff of sending out of the UK!

Probably asking in the wrong place because all of us are going to reply that they are an absolute hoot. Whether they are worth in financially is a different matter. £9k should get you a nice one and it will probably pay for itself but only if you don’t plan on putting too miles on it and will it...

The presentation for sale compares really badly to the example Tom is selling. Obviously much lower mileage than 53, similar prices(ish) but the attention to detail is light years apart.

Forbes, it’s clearly as good as it looks. Do you have any pictures of the work?

I still have two mint PE2s on a couple of my spare rims that look absolutely fine, not sure I’d want to really push them though.

Oooops. Well there’s one of the reasons for my posts in the other thread! At least I said nice things about this one apart from saying it was too expensive.

You and me both.

Well it’s comforting to see that even the baked beans suffer from pink(?) door handles. Those Evo Corse are very nice.

Yep, that’s what I said. £6k too much ;)

Yep, it’s got to have had some paint somewhere I guess, but it’s the little things like new wheel nuts that point to the big stuff also being looked after. Although those things can also flatter to deceive!

Debated whether or not to row into this one but what the hell. I actually think it’s a really nicely turned out example. All the door shuts spotless, cabin all original and in very good condition (bar the ciggie lighter) all plastics good and black, wheels look good and it’s looking really...

LHD also command an even bigger premium than UK rhd versions as well.

Ah yes that’s possible, I remember getting the recall letter but the dealer thought all was good with mine so didn’t replace it.

Is that even OE? Pretty sure I do not have that sticker on mine, what exactly is it for?

Update the list to that effect if you are sure, though it is worthwhile ordering from different sources, some dealers are better than others.

This is a real shame, I really thought that one would have been bought complete and reconditioned.

As I said in my original post, I’m fairly but not 100% sure these are no longer available which is why I posted it up. You must have seen this thread https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/clio-trophy-part-numbers.53897/ ?

Talking about brand new old stock.

These were the first OE that I have received an eBay notification for for months. Eight quid is a bargain, cheaper than the cheapest copies.

Looks like someone’s snapped it up, hopefully for a T.

Plenty of copies available fairly cheaply but I think these are NLA from Renault so may be worth a cheeky offer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-II-Bonnet-Catch-8200069296/313420158270?epid=671847665&hash=item48f94c153e:g:SYMAAOSwAQJgKpx4

I finally received this reply today, it’s pretty much a stock brush off! Cher client, Les nouveaux modèles sont annoncés par newsletter. Merci pour votre suggestion ! Je transmets votre mail à notre service Développement qui étudiera votre proposition. En raison d’un très grand nombre...

I’ve had both the steering wheel position fault, slightly loose connector on the lead under the top cowling behind the steering wheel which was easily solved and has never reoccurred. Also the lead under the passenger seat had caused some grief, I have cable tied it to the frame and is mostly...
