Hi
I posted on here a while ago re a slack and knocking gear linkage. The spring isn’t broken but potentially worn bushes. Can someone advise me if they are easy to change? I can actually only see one, is the other within the gaiter?
TIA

I have been concentrating on getting the engine bay tidied up over the Winter. I changed the brake fluid, gearbox oil and coolant and then painted the engine and inlet etc. The cam cover is Capsicum red and the engine mount, fuel rail guard etc is Audi nimbus grey. This was meant to be a...
After much regret I have decided to put my 2005 Renault Clio 182 Trophy #083 up for sale. The reason for this sorry state of affairs is due to me needing a car with a decent size boot for transporting the latest family acquisition our cocker spaniel!

Hi guys, sad to say its time to sell the Trophy as new job means I need a more economical car for motorway driving. I have plenty of garage space so I'm in no rush to sell.
