For better or worse? :p I'm thinking of getting one - not for the fact it's easier to clean of course lol

Looks class! :) Is the paint on a Civic easier to correct than the Renault paint?

Mine sounds like a haunted house in traffic - every little movement makes a squeaking/creaking from the arches somewhere. Even more-so when I'm on & off the brake pedal

Don't think the black ones need any welding - I could be wrong though

I've found that one of my metal sleeves on the wishbones has moved as it wasn't spot-welded when fitted. (Powerflex bushes- purple type) I do get a strange rubbing sound occasionally on the offside too - think it's an arch liner though

Cheers guys! :)

Could do yeah - only got this issue on one sleeve though, thankfully! After that I am done with modifying anything - ever lol

Yeah that's the ones

I had Powerflex wishbone bushes put on the car a while back. After a while I got a crazy noise coming from the car I thought/was led to believe was a brand new shock Got a good look underneath and the only odd thing we spotted is one of the metal collars for the wishbone bushes has moved...

Not sure why one of my shocks were diagnosed as being weaker than the other - seems fine to drive and passed MOT ok. Got another good look for my noise and a metal sleeve from Powerflex wishbone bushes is rubbing the subframe - sprayed some grease in there and gave it a tap with a hammer. No...

The noise in my front left is something uncalled for - and everything is fresh apart from engine & rack mounts!

This is interesting I have front Cup shocks - fitted new in January and Renault "health check" diagnosed one as being week

Still have this creaking session - lots of squeaking on a good B-Road blast and even smooth roads around town at 30mph and less It's had a health check when it was in Renault having the belts done. Their comment on the checklist "Passenger front shock seems weaker than drivers front"

Think it's inevitable in them anyway from reading up on it before - I had my 10 year/70k belts done last week too

I replaced my breather gasket & solenoid seal last summer. Still have oil pooling where the lower inlet meets the head though, but in fairness I've always had that with this car and been told it's normal lol
