    brake pedal travel

    The only other thing it may be are the rear pads fitted correctly. IE are the tabs on the rear of the pads seated into the piston groves. Did you clamp off the pipes when working on the rears so no fluid could return to the master cylinder when you push the pistons back? as this can sometimes...

    Gearbox bung is at the front (radiator side), usually white plastic wing nut type bung. fill until it drips out with the car on the level.

    Normal or not normal????????

    If the noise was a de-phaser you would be able to hear it louder under the bonnet with the engine running. As hoolio said its difficult to diagnose remotely but i suspect it is the carbon canister control valve opening and closing these are mounted on the off side front and can transmit noise...

    Black seatbelts?

    I have tried lots of stuff to clean the belts,the autoglym interior cleaner is the only thing that shifts it. As said you need to pull them right out and use a scrubbing brush and plenty of the stuff and hot water,but it DOES work.

    Drive shaft wise this is normal for the clips to break which lets some of the grease out onto the wheel etc,If you catch them soon enough you can just replace the outer boot,repack the joint and all for about £8. Done both outers on mine.

    182 cambelt kits - which one? and what!?

    I think you will find 'gates' make a lot of OEM belts,so i would go with gates also. Dont forget the two bungs for the camshafts gearbox end.

    Real Carbon

    Hi all, As my user name would suggest i do like a bit of carbon fibre so i decided to treat the 'T' to some inside here are the results; It's the real thing NOT a wrap,it's called 4x4 twill which gives it a more 3D look rather than the normal 2x2 sheet so basically removed all the...

    Replacing Drive Shaft Issue

    Hi Stormduck, I guess you are using non genuine parts? the item on the original shaft acts like a damper and would come on a genuine replacement part. As for non gen parts,when they are striped for recon this would be taken off the shaft in order to inspect,paint etc. etc. its not a vital...

    Changing bullets to carbon!

    You DONT need to remove any parts to replace the exterior door bullets ! they just clip on with 3 clips be brave and they will come off. easy for some thieving ba****d to take one of mine a while ago. BTW agree keep them silver.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    Aucky. are you replacing with new genuine units? have you got a delivery date yet. Thats a good plan as at least you will get the 12 months parts warranty on genuine Renault items :)

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    They would only fail if they have negligible damping effect or visible signs of leaks,but they will check one against the other.

    Speed line wheel stickers

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    So you take your 'used' pc in for repair and they fix it,they also give you a 12 month guarantee on 'their' work. This is a standard practice imo BG should do similar as peace of mind. just my views

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    There seems to be a common problem here ? the original factory fit shocks seem to out last any having under gone a refurb. My near side has covered 72K and is starting to knock over bumps,the off side still ok(was changed within the 3yr warranty at 40K ) Your thoughts on this?

    131 goes to Mark Fish tomorrow!!!!!

    I think they just deal with the internals of the shocks at BG.so you might want to paint them when they return. Its always good practice to replace nuts and bolts if you can,same for the top mount.you dont want to be doing things twice lol. Just out of interest does anyone know how much the MF...

    You can put an axle stand under the front subframe or on the chassis rail,you will need to jack it quite high depending on your stands. I always use a trolley jack and would never trust the car jack :eek:
