Subscribed and watching closely

Have spoken to a trophy user who bought some of these R1 sachs years ago and fitted them and he says they are exactly the same in terms of the ride quality - felt no different to the original dampers.

Has anyone received their set yet? mine are due on Friday.

MC1 · Feb 7, 2018

Mine are “delayed (in France) due to severe weather”. No updated delivery day yet.

Whoever gets theirs first can they post up pics of what the dampers look like and what the box and packaging was like. Im hoping they come in some sort of renault box.

My order is still stuck at an airport in Paris because of severe weather. I'm guessing it'll be next week now :-(

Gambit · Feb 8, 2018

Has anyone else ordered a pair?

dablk · Feb 8, 2018

Likewise mine are delayed somewhere.

Received on Wednesday. Brand new but some scratches from storage, no box. Pinned as expected.

Phew!! Just have to wait for the snow to clear in Paris!!

Do you know how easy they are to unpin? Is it DIY or sending off to a specialist?

No black plastic cap over the top of the main body, anyone got a 3D printer? There is a guide to unpinning them from the very early days somewhere. Fairly simple but you do have to be careful you do not bend the main adjuster pin.

As they have the added wiper seal in the revised top cap do they then not need the black plastic cap over the top of the main body?

Maybe but the Twingo dampers I have do have the black cover.

This thread is long but worth reading and contains info on unpinning the dampers, i'll find the relevant bits later.

Mark I keep meaning to get in touch with you re some work on the T so keep an eye open....

dablk · Feb 9, 2018

first question... are the 2mm hex screws that go sideways into the adjuster visible is a good start. heard them sometimes they are in an odd orientation so you cannot get at them and some time have been sealed over.

You cant get these anymore from Renault.
Can confirm @MarcB 's caps fit well, look just like the originals.
