Thanks, that would make sense given where I found it and what they were doing. I wish people paid more attention to what they were doing when it comes to reattaching seals and trim!
Tricky to make the part number out in the photo and I can't remember what it looks like in person- does this ring a bell with anyone?
Not sure if it's for something behind the scuttle panel? The car was in at the welders recently and they ended up fixing something in the wiper mechanism while...
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?
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...
That's impressive!
I hope the guys I plan on using for the welding are as good as they seem.

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
