Dark tints on the rear windows make any car look too much like a van.:eek:

I think your right on the rear springs.

No personal experience of these but as with any 'solid' mount you may find more noise/vibration is transmitted through into the car imo.

Who did the retrim ?

working on a Saturday ? LOL

OUCH ! don't you just love women drivers who dont look or signal :rolleyes: This should be repairable but will depend on insurance whether they write it off as a uneconomical repair. I would be very miffed and need a lie down.

PSCUP the wheel was done by jack at royal steering wheels.

Colour is a good match to the air bag and it feels original.so all good this was trimmed in the same style as my megane R26 wheel.

If your not a member on CS try here http://royalsteeringwheels.com/ here is one i had done Good price at £110 + postage

Personally i have changed my oil and filter every 6K since new,some may say its overkill but good lubrication leads to a healthy long lived engine.

Personally i use Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 Ester Synthetic Engine Oil from opie oils 6 litres does it with a bit to top up,Use a good quality filter also.

Are these the ones jon.G? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370420138474?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2026wt_702

As a motor sport derived damper they are designed to be 'serviced' periodically,not like the usual mass produced throw away items there fore as hoolio say they should be as new. You wouldn't change your engine when it needed a oil change or timing belt ? :)

May be as you said the front pair only start to register road speed at 5mph or so the abs computer is seeing a difference in road speed front to rear at low speeds. I.E it thinks the fronts are locked? therefore applies the abs pump? just a thought.

These look to have the same Renault paint marking/codes on them as the 'T' http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-sport-clio-rear-springs-172-182-cup-packs-trophy-/330708692171?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item4cffc62ccb#ht_500wt_949 And well priced.

T500 PHY on the A39 near high Littleton bath/Bristol. couple in the car girl driving must have seen mine and said 'oh look twins!':cool:

As an average mpg mine returns a 37-38 consistently over several thousand miles. I think the manufacturers figure is 36 mpg on a combined cycle.

its not specific to the recaro's so a seat runner from any clio with this function will fit new or s/h but they are handed.

And they only got the cup rear spoiler too

Standard air box with ITG panel filter and acoustic valve removed,redirected air feed pipe here.:cool:

The second in your post should be ok as it was originally fitted with 83v from new.

The red or blue adjuster dial/knobs are drilled and pinned by renault so you cant move/adjust them from factory. De-pinning them means they become adjustable as intended softer to harder.

Thanks for the positive comments it kinda makes feel better about it. I will be putting the cruse buttons back on when fitted,just thought i would remove them to send it off. As for costs:£105 for the retrim+£10 to return in the post+£ 7.50 to send so £122.50 all in. Work done by...

Had my wheel done recently and here is the results.i decided to go for a more updated look with perforated side panels and removed the separate thumb grips but it still retains the original shape in this area. The thing is im not sure i like it, top quality job real italian leather and well...

bearne1 wrote Not sure what I'd be more comfortable with really as Renault also failed to replace some dampers under warranty unless the owner kicked up a fuss. I agree, i had the offside replaced under warranty in the first 3yrs but it wasn't straight forward,lots of 'normal wear and tear'...

So how much extra do they usually charge for un-pinning each damper? and do you have to have new adjusters when this is done? This would be on top of the normal refurb costs @? each side. Thanks so we all know.

I too have been to the renault parts dept recently and was quoted just over £625 for the nearside.

Take a look in the 'for sale' section,here is an add form a member PM to see if they are still available. http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/50906-Eibach-Trophy-Springs-FS Renault main dealer should be able to get these also but they are not cheap.

These people will match the exact colour http://www.thepolishedwheelcompany.com/index.html not used them myself but know others that have,well priced too. worth a phone call.
