489 seems to have disappeared from the listings now??

You would have to disappointed with that having spent £5k. Outwardly that is going to good on someone’s drive but…………..

I think Mike256 was looking for a set.

`mc45, if you use the Getechniq restorer, C4 I think, you will get a lot of the original colour back on the ones you have.

I wish it were more enviable. I suspect there are others with more 😉 I saw what happened with the 5GTT scene when parts literally disappeared overnight and I failed to read the writing on the wall with the Clio stuff until too late. Some of the stuff I have for the 5 is worth a small fortune...

Pah, that’s nothing. I have a pair of in bag rear exhaust surrounds. Priceless I’d say.

Nice choice, the Megane keeps pulling at me but it would have to be my daily and putting 1000 miles a month on the BMW diesel is far less painful.

I can echo all of the above, very happy. Thanks Marc.

I’m not sure they were ever put on a jig and actually tested side by side. I think it was just accepted that the rears could not be that much different Sachs to Cup. If I didn’t have original spares, the cup option wouldn’t be a difficult decision.

I believe that amount is for the pair but @Mike256 in reference to your comment above, Kam say this: These are also fitted to the rear of the Renault Clio 182 Trophy models as the standard Sachs dampers are not able to be replaced or rebuilt. These Koni adjustable rear dampers work well for...

I have a set of the Mark Fish Koni adjustable (which he sold alongside his Trophy/182 springs) so I’m not sure where that information came from, perhaps they are different? I do have the boxes/model numbers for those.

Pm’d

^ Exactly.

Aaahh, every single argument and counter point you are ever likely to hear in one bite sized thread. Fun though with a lot of the stuff fitted that I would have liked to do when I had more money than sense.

Here you go. I have pm’d you as well, let me know if it’s okay.

I can do that for you Marc, a search for something else the other day turfed up an extra pair I had completely forgotten about. I will do it tomorrow.

Thanks Marc, that is very good news. That email from BG kinda hints that the situation was more serious than we thought. Hopefully that covers spare parts as well as service parts. well done.

I will echo Ed almost word for word here. RenaultSport is no longer and it always seemed to be a British “thing” so that is a complete dead end. Sachs would be a more likely option but would there have been some kind of licensing with Renault that has now lapsed hence their closed door. Which...

All a bit concerning this but quite surprised that BG are not thinking about reverse engineering various bits, things like the shafts are pretty simple bits of metal.

Take your pick of reasons for this, there are a fair few threads with a similar theme but sticky/dirty throttle body, injectors, coil pack, crappy old fuel, was there also something of an issue with the contacts on the throttle peddle Itself? Hopefully it is nothing though.

To be honest, seeing the way some are disintegrating, well worth the effort. The challenge is getting to the bottom of the pits. Their Highbild primer, fine sand, spray, fine sand etc etc will get a nicer finish if you want to get properly anal. When I did mine I did consider the colour, but...

Crumple zone from the front bumper all the way to the rear axle. Actually not that bad looking though.

Yep they are nasty, the pair you had off me were better than those. Wire brush on a drill time (mask up) for a start maybe.

I always try to make sure that the posts I make are correct and as I said, if I am wrong then I am the first to say okay fine. I am just trying to clarify a couple of the things you have posted that contradict what I believe, but you crack on.

”Doughnut” are we talking about the same part.

Always open to be corrected but are you sure about the doughnut not being part of the assembly?

Patrick, as you say the thrust bearing sits easier with the flat side sitting on top the spring plate. Nick, yours is different again to the version in my pic, which is the original. You have the bearing that sits on the spring plate, then the doughnut sits on that. The brass insert then slides...

As far as I can remember, as per the first picture. Old style

Does anyone know the reason for the write off? As above, It’s difficult to see much more than the value of scrap and a few parts. Tot up the cost of just a few of the jobs, with the write off marker and there are better options out there.
