My Trophy has just failed its MOT for 'Fuel tank exhaust shield missing where fitted as original equipment creating a risk of fire (6.1.3 (e))'. Can anyone confirm is that going to be item 4 or 5 here and does anyone have a part number please?

Reading Sharky's first thread about originally sending his (now AWOL) set away in 2018, I dodged a bullet as well. In 2018 I had mine boxed and was literally away to be taking them to the UPS drop-off point that day when Rik messaged saying not to send them.

Jesus that's incredibly poor form and makes no sense, can't believe that was who you were referencing in your original thread. What possible excuse is being given?

I've seen a few threads saying these aren't available separately from Renault but has someone found loose alternatives? Mine are a bit worse for wear and not just surface corrosion so wanting to replace. My ducting that comes up to the airbox is also split, has anyone found a good repair or...

Just need this to happen with wheel arch liners now…

I await the rest of the story but can only jump to the conclusion whoever has these dampers is an utter cretin. Commiserations.

That's impressive! I hope the guys I plan on using for the welding are as good as they seem. https://www.facebook.com/share/15ehDYwSPQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

That company I used has very good reviews so it's tricky. If the underside was in good condition in the first place I don't doubt it'd work well but when you advertise rust removal as part of the package...

Ended up being this, although they described it as a guard. Corrosion meant it needed to be packed with a washer and it had dislodged. Most importantly it wasn't anything to do with the belts so that's a result.

So much for this underbody treatment. 2 years hence and both sills are going to need replaced along with part of the floorpan at a minimum, ballpark estimate £1500. Either the underside was too far gone in the first place (in which case I'd want to be told that) or the dinitrol treatment has...

£130 for a used liner, what a joke.

Yes of course and that is the plan as a worst case scenario, they are aware and have no hesitation about taking it back but it's a 4 hour round trip for me and a write-off of a Saturday. Ideally I'll get my local guy to have a look first on the assumption it is something easy. My other car has...

The only thing I'm fairly certain of is it's towards the front of the car.

Fingers crossed. Very hard to determine exactly where it's coming from whether I listen at the engine bay or on the ground to the side of the car. On it potentially being a heat shield- would it be normal for when this occurs to change depending on temperature etc.? Today it doesn't seem to...

No luck, there's no movement in the guard. Heat shield would be absolute best case but the luck I've had with cars lately makes me think a pulley or bearing in something. The subframe has been dropped and most of the front suspension has been replaced, is there a heat shield that would have...

That's an easy one to check, shall report back.

Picked the car up today after getting the timing belt and a load of work done and there's an obvious rattle coming from it now, almost sounds like something's loose to me- That sound like anything in particular to anyone's ears? I noticed something within about 10 mins of driving away but...

Gotta sell at least one bud!

Still seems odd to bother continuing with one side only rather than not bothering at all. Was the same with driveshafts if I mind right.

Can anyone explain the rationale behind these parts that are NLA but for one side only? Seems utterly nonsensical.

Are there any more arch liners ready to fall off the back of a lorry?

Is 32/30 still considered factory recommendation? I'd seen that posted online but have never found anything showing it officially.

For reference would you be able to list the TRW part numbers for the bushes you bought please? Will be handy to know in future.

No idea yet as they were only just delivered to SWR yesterday and they're on holiday today. I hope there are no issues with castor!

I've ordered the Ktec ones, hopefully decent quality. I'll ask SWR to keep the old lower arms and they can be spares in my garage for doing just that, in many years to come no doubt. SWR are going to get the subframe bolts etc., I spoke to the guy on the cliosport forum and he's actually away...

Cheers. Ebay says the seller is away until the 25th but I'll see if I can get in touch on cliosport. Anyone have thoughts on those arms?

Damn I don't have permission to view that, could you take a quick screenshot please?

I was due to collect my car from SWR this weekend off the back of getting its timing belt and front suspension refresh done but unfortunately they've said all the fasteners for holding the subframe in place (need to drop it for some of the bushes) are seized solid and will need cut off. 😭...

Back in stock and £27 cheaper a pop vs. PS3.
