I truly believe Renault have no interest in ordering any of these dampers and its all lies and bs to make us go away. Its just too small in numbers for a manufacturer to bother with,wrong but probably true.

+ one on that its worth an e mail at least.

W.T.F is this person for real ? Mr Attitude or what, red text,capital letters.

You need to get them as tight as possible with your hands and make sure the teeth are fully in before you start to squeeze them up other wise as soon as it goes on full lock the boot will slip off the joint,also make sure no traces of grease are on the joint where the boot goes.

You can get anything on e bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Professional-CV-Clamp-Tool-and-CV-Joint-Boot-Clamp-Pliers-Set-NEW-/110899949183?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item19d226ee7f#ht_2388wt_1029

If your reasonable with the spanners try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180901978259?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_3062wt_698 they look good quality clips and grease a lot less than £15 you get change from a fiver.

I thought they came with all new shocks? properly right that they arent available separately.

Truly awesome !

After market HID kits will soon fail a MOT if fitted to a halogen lamp,Also xenon's are required that 'IF' self levelling and washers jets are fitted they must work for the MOT.Bit of a grey area really as if they are not fitted you cant test them so cant fail them ?

What about the twingo rally car dampers as an alternative ? didn't someone have part numbers? at least they would still look original (ish).

So if from what your saying new are now out of the question a refurb is the only route apart from a complete change to a coil over set up?

Hi All, Just got this e-mail from BG do the prices quoted sound about right from peoples experiences 'A standard service to replace seals, guide bushes, gas caps, strip and clean the internal valves and refill with clean oil , fresh nitrogen and dyno test to make sure they are working correctly...

From memory 500/500 is on a '06' also sure there are a few more also.

lol ;)

Surely these are after market ones not OEM fitments cos of the centre caps ??

That looks like a candidate for the hall of shame imo

I think they could look good in white on the 'T' ?

You are right 6 screws in total also two plastic clips under the spoiler,take your wife's advice as the clips will most likely break. Put some kind of detergent,i use autosmart G101 in the shut then fire the pressure washer in there sorted.

Correct me if im wrong but i think 'power ranger' also works in the Renault parts dept.

If it was me and the noise is now too much,i would sell the Orb and look around for another system rather than cut up the Orb. But its totally your choice.

Huh K-tec enough said :rolleyes:

BTB for me build quality is awesome check it out here http://www.clio182btbexhausts.co.uk/ £649 with forum discounts

Each new from renault

If i can be picky that's a school boy error the sticker/decal should be opposite the valve.:o

Sir_Dave is right the 172 has a 4 into 1 design manifold (short) while the 182 has a 4-2-1 design manifold (much longer) this is for better gas flow and hence the need to avoid the front roll bar.:)

My 02 plate 172 made 184bhp with some mods.more than the 'T' lol

Hi Mike lets try and answer your questions 1. No these are a sealed unit can not be reworked. 2. yes more if new shafts are needed, in the region of £700 with new shafts and unpinned. 3. No they come glued and pinned from factory. 4.Adjustable for rebound,also available are re-valved koni's...

From experience 172's always produce their best power with 70K plus on the clock in standard form.

Wow and still got the protective tape on LOL.
