Totally with you there, I caught myself looking at them in a sort of Homer “Mmmm donuts” kind of way, despite the fact that I have more sets than i will probably ever need.

Little strong for me and I suspect, for most others as well...

No. I won’t bore you but got let down and finding someone to take it was one of this weeks (I’m off) jobs but I really would win a gold medal for procrastination. Meanwhile the list of jobs gets longer……………. Lots and lots, rear bumper held on by a couple of screws at the moment. 😛

Sorry guys, did you think it was going to be something else 😉

I think that was a bit cheap. Lots of work done and foundations of a nice car. Just needs a little more to push it over the line.

Talk the talk, walk the walk. Sorry 🙄

At £8k with that much spent under its belt that would an absolute bargain and probably even at £10 but it seems to be a buyers market at the mo and if you are wanting +12k it is going to have to walk the walk as well as talk the walk.

Ah okay, my nosey around will have to wait.

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...
