Funnily enough, the slowest car I've ever driven was an 05 Clio, obviously not the sport edition! I borrowed it while my Saab was dying, I remember there was this stretch of motorway I used a lot at the time, you merge and then come off at the next exit. In the Saab I would be up to speed (70ish) on the merging lane, in the borrowed Clio I used to just about hit 65 when I got to my exit!
Lol definitely not an issue in the sport.
Keeping it under 70 is the issue
That's interesting how would one tell if a gearbox mount is buggered? I am running the clio's bigger cousin (Modus) and suffer from randem judder (similar to clutch judder) when setting off mainly on hills but after few miles it settles again. its been doing it for about 8000 mile while i have had it so unsure how long b4.
As said movement in the gear stick knocking when booting it through the gears and movement in the engine bay
Thanks Alex. The car is a 2008 with 1.5 diesel, gearbox system seams less problematic than most (or I'v been lucky) certainly better than the similar Citroen system as Citroen uses electric actuators to robotise and the Renault uses hydraulics, Will check out the m.autodoc site.
Absolutely fuming.
Went to fit shocks today since the weather wasn't to bad and guess what?
They don't fit
Seems there is an extra step on the ones I bought as my konis fitted don't have so can't fit top mounts.
Went straight on to check it wasn't my mistake which according to the part number are correct so leads me to believe my top mounts are wrong
More money
ouch...…..did you contact the seller and tell them it was their mistake?
you might get the top mounts discounted
Contacted just awaiting a reply.
Was going to just drill my dust cover I thought at first .
Nope not the case it's easy 3-4mm of difference so would be to dodgy for the mounts sleeve in between the rubber mount.
So looking like it's going to be mounts atleast.
As I will get away will drilling covers I reckon.
Yeah I had to take a double take when I was doing them as I stuck the cover over it then was thinking these threads aren't long enough pmsl
Then took cover back off and was like AHH .
Felt like doing a chewin the fat moment .
Thought I'd take some photos to show how limited the space is in here.

Picked these up few years back and have just lay around they are rough, so decided to try a colour I have been tossing around.
Edges are damaged but rim protector will hide.
