Well when I sent them off one of the dampers seemed fine but the other was completely gone, the shaft would almost go down on its own weight. On this damper you could only see in certain light very very fine lines but they looked more like streak marks, when I was running my finger over them as...
If I had known prior to sending them to BG, then yes I probably would have done, also I would have sold my old ones as 'in need of rebuild' and would have felt pretty bad for the guy buying them!
Plus new pair is still around £950 I think from wests renault on CS
Mine are being sent tommorrow. £430 for basic surface (stripped, new seals, oil and nitrogen, dynoed), £60 per side for new adjuster assembly, £130 per side for new shafts
Stupidly expensive
I know it has been mentioned on here already but I cant find it, does anyone know what the weight of the dampers are? Need to organise my postage today however forgot to weigh them before I left for work this morning! Cheers
I have got rainsports, dont think that they are the best in outright grip but they are more than fine for the road plus you do notice the difference when you hit standing water on the m-way as well.
To be honest if it was big and little ends surely the engine would have given up by now. If these are on their way out its more than just a clicking believe me!
A clicking that is often the carbon canister
however like liam has said take it to a specialist, they would diagnose it in no time
I have posted below a link to pistonheads for a megane being sold by a good friend of mine.

I have personally driven this car quite a...
If it was a dephaser you would know about it as they are a lot louder than you describing. Mine had the same noise before I took it to JMS last year and I think they told me that the carbon canisters make this noise.
I had mine refurbished by Aurok end of Novemebr 2010, now my passenger side sounds and feels as if its on its way out (I may be being paranoid however)
Has anybody else dealt with aurok? unfortunately mine was done through stealthsport which i believe now cease to exist.
Cheers
350's sound awesome though..
Yeah i think I just get urges (probably about 6 times a day) to get another car lol. I spend most my time on pistonheads!!
