    Front washer pipe retaining clip

    I’m tempted to use a small blob of silicone.

    Front washer pipe retaining clip

    Any idea where to get replacement clips for this? Recently had the washer nozzles replaced and this one keeps popping out, it’s infuriating.

    Sill covers coming loose

    I'll give the bodyshop a shout to see exactly what they recommend as they've held absolutely no issue until now and that's with them coming off last year for a load of welding.

    Sill covers coming loose

    Ahhh now seeing all this I’ve worked it out. My rear arches were replaced 3 years ago and they don’t appear to come with the holes for these. I wonder if they’re still on the area towards the front ahead of where the new quarter panel finished.

    Sill covers coming loose

    I'm not certain how these were attached from new but it looks like the adhesive strip is weakening on my passenger side. It seems to sag in sunlight and then rise up again. Is there a recommended way for these to attach? (other than the screws along the bottom obviously...)

    Warning lights after storage

    Finally in the garage and it turns out it was the front right ABS ring being split in two!

    Jesus Christ that's an absolute howler of a decision.

    Sachs front suspension

    Yes I've used them twice, most recently late 2023 and their communication was crap, to the point I'd seriously consider elsewhere next time. I told Simon as much and he held his hands up but this is disappointing to hear.

    Warped scuttle panel

    Both edges of this stick up ever since it needed a wiper arm repair last year and it's been getting on my tits ever since. What would be the best way of getting this to stick back down without being too rough? Or do I just discreetly silicone it and ignore?

    Really?? How so?

    Looks like it is indeed the sensor, or certainly the circuit and hopefully just the sensor itself...-

    Warning lights after storage

    Does the cruise control not get affected by and ABS sensor issue?

    Warning lights after storage

    Trophy came out the garage yesterday after having sat since November, pleased to say the engine is running sweet as a nut but the orange 'SERV', ABS and traction control lights are all lit up. I've left my bloody icarsoft in the Jag which is away getting fixed so any ideas what the likely...

    Daily drivers

    Cheers. They're outrageous value these days (especially in 4.2 guise) when you see the prices many other performance cars somehow command. Totally unaffected by inflated covid pricing.

    From the other week, currently on its winter boots. Even with winter tyres, 90kg of weight plates in the back was needed to get back up my road/track...

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    That's good to hear. I had a look to see if I could find what I'd previously sourced (mentioned above) and did not have any joy.

    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    I found rubber gaiters to fully go over the shock absorber eliminating the gap for shite to get into the shaft. I'll try and dig back in my posts when I get some time but have a look yourself too as I would have detailed the parts. I cable tied them in place so I can only hope they've stayed...

    RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy - £15,500

    I’d be holding firm on the price given the one on the pistonheads auction just went for over 22 grand.

    Michelin pilot sport 5's

    Enough experience has led me to believe that tyre fitters who do everything absolutely spot on are a minority.

    What is this part?

    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!

    What is this part?

    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...

    Heat shield part numbers

    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?

    Airbox Screws & Ducting

    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...

    Missing Sachs Dampers - Anyone Else?

    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

    Rust

    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...

    Rattle after timing belt change

    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.
