I'm not sure if I'm coming towards the end of ownership (almost 4 years!). I love the car but fancy a Megane R26, if student funds allow. The clio needs a new clutch as the release bearing is a little noisy, so that's all ordered and i'll see where I'm at after!

Do they have to remove the subframe to get to the release bearing , my clutch change was 5 hours labour!

Yes, quite a hefty job. I've been quoted £300+VAT for the labour and a gearbox oil change, so around £420 all in, not cheap!

Cracking example, in the best colour too, If you do decide to change to an R26 let me know I'd be interested in the Clio

Thank you, appreciated!

Yes I will do.

New clutch, new interior strips and gear insert, and a new windscreen and seals. Had to get the gearstick insert custom made by sprayshack.

Ready for Goodwood on Sunday.

New seats.

Nice, medic-one had those in his and said they were a good upgrade.

Yes without doubt. Makes the interior feel a much nicer place to be, and they sit slightly lower so it feels great with the heightened Scenic shifter.
