I've got problems with the downpipe too, seems like its twisting and always rubs on the bulkhead. I think this results in the downpipe nuts and studs constantly coming loose also
I currently have the same issue. Most common answer will be 'You've fitted the M10 Balljoint not the M12', but this definitely isn't the case with mine. Even with Loctite it still comes loose.
Still need to buy some new Bolts/Nuts to test out in fairness
I've used the Samsung SmartThings stuff at work, and linked with an Aeotec Smart Switch you can do remote On/Off and stuff. Not sure on smart scheduling stuff as we never got that deep into it. Also works with most stuff that are Z-Wave/Zigbee spec. We had it working with Osram RGB Bulbs...
Mind if I ask more about the tooling required?
I've looked into this before because some of the colour combos you can produce are absolutely awesome in my opinion, and as it's technically a temporary coating you can change the colour pretty fast, which for indecisive me is a bonus!
However on...
I had this exact same problem. Turn the key and absolutely nothing, give it a bump start and it would fire right up. Leave it five minutes it would fire straight up. All intermittent issues where the starter just wouldn't fire on the key. Funniest one was getting pushed by a mates saxo as no one...
As angry as they may look round my way, they're generally speaking the nicest out of the lot. They'll actually stand and have a decent conversation with you regardless and as long as you're not mouthy back they're pretty fair. Turns out 99% of traffic police are car guys. Even had one who after...
From run ins with the police while driving around with mates who drive imports, the rules for them seem to be fit whatever you can in the factory location that looks sensible. Obviously if someone tries to convince the police their import Civic Type R ran 300x45 plates factory they're gonna get...
I Can't comment on whether the Cabasse units were amplified for signal etc, but I had similar problems in a MK4 golf where the Aerial used to get its signal amplifier power down the actual aerial line. You can get a cheap adapter to try on the clio perhaps? They look like an aerial socket with a...
Have you tried the LEDs in the socket the other way round? They're polarity sensitive!
You'll have to get them back out to flip them, so while they're out hook them up to some 12v to see if they light, they'll light one way and not the other
Shameless theft from google, but they look like that. It looks like a bad picture because the threaded hole isn't round but that's actually how they are.
Definitely had them with lemforder and the like before, Internet reckons they're 'torque prevailing' style lock nuts 🤷♂️
As they've been coming loose mate, as tight as I can personally get them with a 1/2 inch ratchet with a 1ft-ish bar on the end. So far they've stayed tight a week or so but i'm still not happy with it.
They're not nylocs on there. I don't know the proper name for these type of nuts, I've had...
It is worrying why they keep coming loose.
So the only solution to sourcing new bolts is to buy a whole new balljoint? That's a bit of an annoyance as the actual joints themselves are sound. I'll wait for a euros/GSF discount weekend or something and have to pick some up! Cheers :)
I'd ordered just bolts from Renault about 6 weeks previous for the pinch bolt and gearbox mounts so it surprised me to be fair...
The 2 M12's into the wishbone, not the single pinch into the hub that ones nice and tight!
Hi All,
I seem to have a problem where the outer most bolt that secures the balljoint to the wishbones keeps loosening off. The actual balljoint is fine with no abnormal play, the end bolts just require a tweak up now and then.
Reading around a bit on the forums, it seems the original Renault...
Coilpacks have the same part number between these and a 1*2
Probably has a a return line fuel system with a ph1 rail too?
Not forgetting Ph1 Indicator stalks too
Even the base models can have some useful parts
Mine was also like this so didn't fit the washers.
Fifth sometimes crunches and reverse takes two hands to slam it in so something is up
Also it still buzzes with mine the way it is haha
I have had the light staying on issue before. There is a small earth ring terminal for the ECU (8mm or 10mm bolt? i can't exactly remember) which can snap off with age. It is located near the left hand side drive shaft cup on the gearbox. Make sure this is attached, this gave me the same issue...
You're gonna want to do a parasitic draw test by the sounds of things, YouTube is awash with videos explaining how to do this however this one below seems to be fairly good at explaining the reasonings/method on how to do this. hopefully is helps :)
I didn't no, once again around the time the car did a box so funds for fun car things were too low to warrant it! Its still sat in the ebay basket waiting its fateful day!
Exact same symptoms as when I forgot to reconnect the earth for the ECU to the gearbox. It's a 10mm (maybe 13mm?) little short bolt, ring terminal bolts on just above where the passenger side drive shaft hooks up
