After booking on for a full day at CSF I thought id get back on the adjustable top mount thing, you may remember I ordered some before Christmas through Ktec racing, who bailed and couldn't even provided a delivery date. I went direct to Compbrake who had them too me in under 2 weeks. Had another issue with their customer service but the product was here and ready to fit. (they quote supply of a hole saw in multiple places on the website though they no longer send them and say the never have, annoying as it added an extra days wait to do the job over the weekend)
Using the supplied cutting guides I chopped into the shock towers to allow for adjustment, though once set these will be covered by the scuttle. Nice bit of kit, need to get on some ramps to get them aligned and setup. Opted for the ones that fit with oem style springs and shocks.
First drive on them tomorrow so we will see if there's much extra road noise and how they feel.

Somebody on FB said they had been bought out? Not sure if thats true.
I've been a big advocate of these clios and their gearboxs, how well i think they work when bimbling to work or going hard on track...
That was until this week. Had a dreaded check gearbox error twice one morning, with one of them requiring a restart to get out of limp mode. Id been expecting it for a while as there's a common issue with battery condition and gearbox hissy fits.
New battery on, and some how It managed to loose some setting for the tpms which then put the dash into an error state. Took about an hour of faffing to find the issue and code it again. Was basically because I'd switched off tpms but that battery reset made the dash think it was there again
Onto today, made it to work fine now issues. On the way home i spotted what looked like a turbo mx5, a 918 porsch and an astra having a play, why not join in.... hit sports mode and instantly the car dropped into limp. Reset the car an tried again. Was all good so hit sports and same again...
Not sure where to go with this now, I'll see how much it plays up as it's still drivable but a little miffed with it. There is a listed fault that a there initially but searching doesn't yield much.

I hate tech. It's not reliable...
French and Electrics not a good mix since about 1905.

If its tcu, it might be worth replacing the capacitor as per this thread. Replacement transmission shift module Clio RS
found that, is that from the cherry tiggo 8 documents?
Gearbox is called a DC4 in a Renault as far as im aware, (DPS6 in the ford) but i think its a Getrag DCT250 unit when from the main supplier (would have text you back but its 4.30am and i didnt want to wake you
)
So.... I've driven the car to London this morning 
3 times it did it, i think I've figured if you ask it to shift quickly it does it. But light throttle and slow changes it's seemingly OK.... It did also, on 5 occasions hit me with a quick flash of the stop for a charging issue.
So currently my thought is, the smart charging module thing is failing or the alternator...
Got a 130mile drive back yet to ponder on it.
Wish me luck
