Hi guys, Im currently on the look out for a MPS as my wife and i are expecting our first kiddie soon and my currrent (now sold) pride and joy really was no longer going to be suitable. Currently looking ideally for a 3 MPS with the Sero kit, ideally standard, and in red or Cosmic blue (i think its called) I have just sold this...         Wasnt a lot else left i could do to the car, and was awesome! Sounded bloody amazing! Throttle bodies, cams etc etc Hopefully get to have a look at a few MPS's over the next few days. I have spoken to a few people and have the details of the VVT recall. Is there anything else specific to the 2.3 DiSi engine i should be aware of? I understand they have a timing chain, is this prone to rattling and what sort of mileage does it need replacing? Any advice / suggestions would be most appreciated Dave

Absolutely awsome clio! Lots of respect.
Now u still want the speed but also twice as many doors and a hell of a lot more comfort...
Oh and welcome dave ;)

My friend had the trophy version of that and I sat in as passenger in it at Silverstone and it really stuck to the tarmac like glue!
Great handling car!

Hey there , congratulations on your upcoming new arrivals, both will bring you joy and drain your finances  That’s a decent depth of shine you had on the Clio, what did you use on it?

Cheers guys i have found a few cars that look good so hopefully will find one soon!
just dissapointed at how hard it looks to get a decent 3 inch downpie and exhaust, and the support for mapping!
