Hi kenbkfc.
Please tell us more about your Clio (like: engine type, km on board etc.) so we can tell you more
about the car and maybe more about yourself.

I'm sure you meant to say you have a 1500cc engine, not a 15hp one...
Just for information: What can you expect from a 1500 cc engine?
No offence! I'm just curios!

kenbkfc is very hard to say exactly what kind of problems your car will have.
The bigest problem to 1.5 dci Renault (in Romania - from what I know) was related to the diesel pump, injectors and diesel pipes - but not separatelly - all together (in the service they say that all must be changed together for the problem to be solved) ... => something like - at some point the engine starts to lose power and other stuff related to injectors "clogging", because of some iron filings found in the system - it seems that all of this is because of bad diesel quality. This problem is very rare, but exists.
Anything else ... is common let's say
