Lovely pics. I’ll counter that with mine. Had breakfast in Saltburn-by-the-Sea this morning and came back to this 💩🦅🖕🏻

I must have thrown them out. Only front discs

I might have some genuine rear discs in my garage for reference. I’ll just go and have a look now.

Yeah that’s the scraping sound. It shouldn’t be hitting that. So from what I can see : The discs aren’t genuine, the carrier bolts look too long. What could possibly go wrong 😂 Did you buy the discs from Frogjam like I recommended?

Picture of mine without the spacer but showing the bolts. Your bolts seem a bit long. My spindle seems to stick out further as well. Might just be the rust and picture angle. But something doesn’t seem right there. The carrier bolts are a very specific type from Renault. You can’t match them...

I’ve only ever used original discs and always fit it that way. Never had an issue. There looks like some scouring on the inside of that hub carrier mind. Where you’ve drawn red circles around the bolts.

No 😂

The last photo shows the flat face of the spacer. This goes against the bearing. The first picture of the spacer is bevelled and sits against the spindle. So that goes on first.

My Macs usually last a few years from a productive standpoint at least. I have 8 machines from over the last 20 years sitting in my cupboard at work. I’ve been using them since the mid 90s. They’re great for the first few years, then with constant OS upgrades they slow down to the point where...

Plenty of space between the disc and bolt

Not exactly a walkthrough but it might help. Not too difficult. Just take your time. https://cliosport.net/threads/restoring-little-bluey-my-182-ff-cliosport-in-racing-blue.840322/page-8#post-12467194

That's the bit I'm unsure about. I can't recall my sills ever getting filled up. Some holes are at the bottom of the door panel - near the UCH - that's quite a vulnerable area. Water can reroute if there's blockage around there, water can access the sill. As above, are sill drains not blocked?

Mine came through the door card. Telltale signs are water sitting in the rubber with a line of water dripping into the footwell. The solution was to take the door card out and reseal it with Butyl tape. That wouldn't explain why the sill is filling up with water though. Have you checked...

The key to selling is asking the right price; nostalgia often inflates values. The market determines the value of goods; it's not the reverse.

The last owner said 920kg but I think it's heavier than that. It has got a fibreglass tailgate, the bonnet's guts are ripped out, no carpet, racing tank (20 ltrs) but full interior. My last car was fully stripped out but had a full RO22 roll cage, plastic windows, one seat. That weighed 940 kg...
