Clio 182 Trophy No. 108 After 7 years of ownership I am reluctantly selling my much loved Trophy. It has received nothing but the best treatment in its life, and is a truly superb example of the car. She has travelled just 58,500 miles, and this will remain roughly the same till sold. A full...

Mine is rotting away nicely, and I'm considering changing over the winter. I have a BTB cat back fitted with the 2.5" pipe welded to the back of the original cat. I have had a search on here but can't find much on people's experiences with aftermarket cat's that ktec sell? I'm not put off having...

Clio 182 Trophy No. 108 After 4 years of ownership I am reluctantly selling my much loved Trophy. It has received nothing but the best treatment in its life, and is a truly superb example of the car. I have had to purchase a smart fortwo to get me around the streets of London, and the Clio...

My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

I bought these with the intention of fitting track day tyres or winter tyres, but instead they've sat in the garage for 3 years! They are chipped, scuffed, with plenty of marks and will need refurbishing to look any good, but structurally sound. The tyres are all different and need replacing...

Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...

Alright all, finally got the car back on the road but only just passed mot due to poor braking results on the rollers. Weird thing is i didn't touch the brakes while the car was off the road! They were rusted up due to sitting there for 6 weeks so i took her for many 70mph to 0 foot heavy on the...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

Allo people, in the quest to solve my suspension issues i'm replacing my passenger side drive shaft amongst other things. The motor spares shop ordered what we believed to be the correct item, but it appears different from the original. The first obvious thing is the width of the abs toothed...

I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...

They keep coming undone! I tightened them coz i was getting a knocking noise, which solved it, now the noise is slowly returning. The joints are new, as are the nuts and bolts, but the nyloc-ing bit isn't doing it's job. Does anyone know the torque required to tighten these? I'm going to buy new...

The bumper took some slight scratching when someone bumped into me a while back. So it eventually got booked in to Kream Developments in Rainham to have the bumper sprayed, along with the clio badge removed, the holes welded using small metal plates inside the boot lid, filled and sprayed. I've...

Took my car into a local garage today to try and get my brakes working properly and he hooked it up to the diag. machine that come up with a steering angle sensor fault. Which explains why i have an ABS, Traction and SERV light on the dash. This has occured because i disconnected the steering...

Hi chaps, wonder if anyone can help with my issue. I've been doing quite some work to my T the last month: Front sachs refurb, fitted Ktec solid top mounts, Poly bushes fitted to lower wishbones and anti roll bar, new track rod ends, lower balljoints, koni adjustable rear dampers, mark fish...

I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...

Or does anyone know where i can get these cheaper than £44 each from Renault? [attachment=0:2pzpjpt0]31052011439.jpg[/attachment:2pzpjpt0]

Just want to check that this is the correct way round to fit them after i get the old bushes pressed out: [attachment=1:3i1l5ad2]29052011393.jpg[/attachment:3i1l5ad2] [attachment=0:3i1l5ad2]29052011394.jpg[/attachment:3i1l5ad2]

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

While rumagine about underneath the car this evening i noticed a curious dent in the downpipe just above the anti roll bar...the bar appears to be able to fit perfectly into this dent.....seems too much of a coincidence to me!!!!! Has some twat of a mechanic in the car's history lifted the roll...

Can anyone tell me the weight of two sachs dampers regarding postage to BG?? I'm taking mine off on sunday and think it'll be too late to book a parcel force collection for Monday to get them to arrive Tuesday. So if someone can be kind enough, if they remember! the weight of their parcel, i can...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

After one alloy to replace a bent one, will buy new off k-tec but thought i'd check here first :D

...and the bulb is pointing too high and blinding people. Nearside lens is fine, it's the driver's. I have no experience with headlight clusters, but i know it'll be a right mare to replace if that's what's needed!? Is there a manual adjustment on them, or can i just change the motor for...

inside Bruntingthorpe this morning??

Hit a pot hole the size of an inverted mount everest on friday. To the eye it look to have a slight flat spot on the inside of the rim. But in the photos i took it's deceptive and now i'm not so sure. It drives alright, but is there a way of confirming? very top of the wheel in the pic

Doing a track day in June, want to get a used set of alloys to use...looking on ebay standard 172 alloys sell for reasonable money, i'm guessing they will fit just fine on a T but could anyone confirm...it's the offset i'm thinking of. Are there any other standard renault alloys i can use on the...

Alright folks, I intend on replacing the coolant in the next month and just asking the best way to do it. On my old fiesta i just made a big mess by pulling off the hose at the bottom of the rad, and refilled slowly on flat ground. Without a haynes for this car i don't know if there are any...

after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously! Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt Eurow - Shag Pile...

Fitted a BTB zorst a few months ago and noticed it was blowing from the cat join a few weeks ago and put it on list of things to do. Yesterday the gas monitor warning light came on. So today i covered the joint in zorst sealent for joins, clamped it back up and ran it for 20mins to harden it...

So much less messy than my fiesta! Sump plug is dead vertical so the oil comes out dead straight, not a drop going on the drive. Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 thanks to opie oils plus a new filter which was the messiest bit, awkward to get to but at least it doesn't flow down your arm! Just made the...
