Pretty sure they are all much the same on the clio. I remember a few different ones being used successfully.

I didn't do much research into it and just pulled one at the scrappy and it fitted no problem.

Anything around 2000-2001 I believe, anything from that shape Clio should be fine I believe.

Is a spacer needed on these servo's? Mine is right on top of one of the brake lines.

Took me about 40 minutes at the yard to get the servo out, I'm sure others could do it quicker. Strange why they would take the engine out for a £25 item.

There is an inspection cover in the driver side inner wing that you can get to it, but I've never fancied that way myself. I've only ever raped these from breakers that have either had the engine or at least the head removed.

I think I've paid £5 any time I've put one of them over the counter.
