That is not for a 197.
Rsport in Wimbledon sell the item you need. If it's the lower swivel joint you need, £59.98 delivered next day.
The wishbone ball joints is not available separately , although some one may know different?
Op
The ball joint is in the wishbone, and Renault do not do this separately .
You need the lower swivel joint by the sounds of it, and again, Renault only sell the complete hub.
Rsport sell the swivel joints, top and bottom, separately, and the are different parts and sizes.
There may be someone...
Ask for andy if you do call again, clip test is just £36+vat , and as mick does, if you have the work done it gets included in the repair.
who ever you spoke to should not of quoted £84 for a clip test, unless, it's not just a clip test you asked for??
when you say a few things checked over...
Yes sounds like an injector, common on these.
Cant help with an injector cleaner though as not had any experience.
Some people have had them cleaned by a specialist and reported good things, so maybe worth looking for someone that does that.
And can bring on the other lights as it to with...
Sorry , if your getting a spark , unlikely earth cable then , must of missed that part .
checked timing?
i will read the whole thread again and see what else I have missed
Check the pinch bolt is correctly tightened.
Is the noise from inside the car or can you hear it outside as well?
is it a recent issue ? Any work recently?
Yes can do , could be as simple as removing the end casing and refitting correctly the fifth gear set , may be lucky .
Renault may well fix it correctly and fairly , or they may not , like anywhere it all depends on who's doing the job.
Hope it is cheap easy fix.

pic from other side.
Thanks for all replies , and yes thinking about getting a shaft and same size bearing , but...
yes tried both these companies , they will supply a bearing , but i cant press out the centre shaft as it it forms part of the bearing , which neither place can help with , looking to see if someone can make me a complete unit.
Does anybody know anywhere or anyone who can machine a bearing or a component for a bearing ?
This is what i need made , or very similar, the centre is part of the bearing.
any help or contact numbers would be great.
And yes tried some companies , google etc but not much luck.
Re: enigine and box out
personally i leave the loom on the engine , drop the engine and gearbox out the bottom on the subframe , with everything still on , apart from the obvious having been disconnected , drained etc. if pulling out the the top i remove lots of it first. if its your first ...
its because you are meant to remove the subframe , its very tight as where the oil pump sits.
I normally raise the engine and support it from the top and lower the subframe , then you can twist it out. about 3 ish hours.
