The problem above has foiled me to the point I cant be arsed anymore with the car. Car idles at just over 2k revs and yes I have tried all the other possible problems.
For me, I dont have the luxury of any more time or money to spend, and the car has been sat there for almost 3 months now apart from recently driving it up and down the road to test the air leak I cant fix...
This week will be the decider of whether I scrap it and concentrate on other things or have it repaired. I am tired of having a runny nose and a sore back and being covered in oil and yet having nothing to show for it except evil glares from the anti car lobby that live down the road.
It's a shame a single nut has made a mockery of all the work I put in, but that's life.

Get a shitter for a month or so, ignore the clio for that time, enjoy having a working car, as shit as it is, and then when you have more interest have another crack at the clio

Have you tried to see if it is a dodgy temp sensor causing the idle issues?
It is prob something really simple.. and as frustrating as it is.. persevere. Get help from the member that offered to come and look at it!
