Yeah I've never had an issue with lemforder before. Just has me worried about the other parts I've fitted.

So doing some work to the Clio and as usual gone with lemforder ball joints and outer tie rod ends and genuine inner tie rods. The one outer tie rod has snapped when tightening it up. Was only using a 3/8 ratchet one handed and it never got to a point where it felt tight. It's such a clean...

I've registered hopefully see you there.

Just noticed this is on tomorrow. 14/05/2022 https://collectingcars.com/events/coffee-run-bicester-heritage-saturday-14-may-2022 Thinking of taking the Clio out for a run. Is anyone else thinking of going?

I'm not too far away in Stourbridge, I've not got any recommendations on places to get stuff done yet, as so far I've done all the work on mine myself. It is booked in to ktec in willenhall this week though.

I use avo coilovers on mine and so far Ive been really impressed by them. I think they're the gtx but now called race 1. I only use it on the road though. They're Quite stiff but absorb bumps great.

Following as I'm in this position at the moment, as mine had a decat on when I bought it. gt performance on eBay has a 172 cat pipe for about £210 but then there's the import duty and if it fails the problem of returning etc. A local exhaust place wanted £250 to install a sports cat into my...

You can tak bit out the top but when I did it you still had to drop the subframe enough for the gearbox end cover to fit between the subframe and arch gap to be able to rotate it to get it out. The only good thing is I didn't have to remove the steering rack or lines.

Yeah just isn't gonna work, I posted on here before faceache but yeah, still on the hunt for a exhaust system.

So had a pms shifter on my cup working fine but had a decat pipe and ktec exhaust. bought a orbisound cup racer exhaust with a cat. With it fitted I have zero room for the shift linkage and doesn't seem that even a standard linkage would fit. Has anyone had a cup race exhaust fitted with a pms...

Here's mine. Always seems to be a work in progress. Haven't driven it in about 5 months.

Does anyone know if the airbag ECU's are interchangeable between models I can't find one with the same part number as mine, I need to get it plugged in to turn the airbags of anyway. Mine says its been set off so the garage couldn't program it. Mine is a 172 cup with part number 8200242736 Cheers

yeah that should do the job if you just take it easy.

I'm only about 45 mins away in Stourbridge, if need a hand drop me a pm

I've seen a couple of posts of this in happening recently. I wonder if it's due to the solid engine mount. I run one as well so thinking of changing to the pure Motorsport upper engine mount as it replaces that casting as well. Where abouts in the Midlands? I think I have a spare here if...

Think I've sorted a ticket for c&m but will come to farmers fayre either way. See you guys there.

If anyone can't make it on Sunday and has a ticket for caffeine and machine let me know!

I'm hoping to get my ph1 out the garage tomorrow and do some bits on it ready for this. If all goes well I'll book a ticket and get my name down on the list.

Yeah if it's definitely that it shouldn't cause any other issues. If the tensioner is already a couple of years old though, it's the perfect time to replace it.

Is it where the square drive is on the tensioner that has snapped off?

Your ph1 looked super clean, if I can get my ph1 to even half as clean as yours I'd be happy, and as above the whole feeling was really relaxed and the convoy over from worcestershire was really respectful with no heroics from anybody. Happy to see 18 year odd old French tin rot taking over the...

Yeah the more the merrier, @RustyMojo is the main guy sorting the convoy out. But the main aim is to meet at Worcester rugby club for 7:30am

Where abouts in Shropshire? I'm in Stourbridge and meeting a few people at Worcester rugby club at about 7:30am

Indeed the best colour, the last silver on that sort of mileage sold for £3850 add odyssey blue tax and as long as it's mint and all original with recent belt change and not really needing any work I can't see why it wouldn't be worth 5/5.5k to the right person.

Also depends on colour, if it's a titanium silver I would say it's on the high side. You say almost original as well, it depends on what parts have been changed as some ph1 parts are getting harder to get hold of now.

Yeah all sounds good I'll aim for meeting at worcester rugby club.

It's almost like a hollow knock l. I think you can just about make it out in the video. Hard to get a decent video of the noise.

I've got a strange knocking noise from the front end but could be both ends that I can't diagnose and wondering if any one else has had anything similar. I've recently just installed helper springs and lowered it another 15 mm approximately all round, and too be fair it probably is a little...
