    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    So I fitted my new mount yesterday with new bracket, 3 screws holding it in rather than 2 now! You can tell the difference between the cheap ebay ones and genuine ones - the genuine one is an absolute ball ache to get on! So tight, I had to resort to lots of WD40 and heating the rubber with a...

    Exhaust Sag

    It should be red, not black like in coleman's ebay link. And they can be a complete b**ch to remove sometimes!

    Misty headlights

    I ordered mine direct - http://www.3mdirect.co.uk/p-2639-3m-headlight-restoration-kit.aspx Was cheaper a couple of weeks ago though. Please with the results, but in some ways I made them worse as there's very faint swirls/scratches now. Make sure you apply at least 2 layers of the tape, I'd...

    Exhaust mount 172? will all types fit the 172?

    I bought a cheap one off the bay and it sagged straight away, and squeaks like an un-oiled prozzie. Pay out and get the proper one, give Renault Wolverhampton a shout - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?197-Renault-Wolverhampton-Parts

    Cream Porsche with cream wheels!

    I see one of these every morning, not the same one as that though. Not sure about them tbh!

    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    Reko - has that cured it for good? It sorted me for a few days and now it's just back to it's squeaking every few seconds!!

    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    So to revisit this, the squeak has come back! I've ordered a new exhaust mount and metal bracket from Adam, so not a cheap ebay jobby, and got 3 screws rather than 2, so hopefully things will improve! Will update with progress after I've fitted this weekend.

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    MOT tester told me I could put blanks in and it would pass, I wanted to get the pump replaced and get them working though.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Replaced the number plate bulb unit as it had corroded, easy job! Weekend saw me replace the headlight washer pump and adjust the headlights, although still not sure how they're supposed to be aiming for MOT retest on Friday! ​Ordered a replacement tyre from Camskill too.

    Squeak when crawling in traffic

    Ah you need to be more aggressive with the throttle, man up!
  15. Maccy

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    You'll be pleased to hear that I have working headlight washers then :) The only things left to sort are the headlight alignment (I've requested the garage sort this when the retest is done on friday), and fit the new tyre which I ordered from camskill earlier.

    Squeak when crawling in traffic

    Or it could be an exhaust mount that needs greasing, although maybe not if it only happens in slow traffic. Mine happens when doing anything!

    K&N Induction kit or just filter?

    I haven't noticed any real performance gains since my KTR induction kit was fitted, although I think it works better if you have uprated cams?? Certainly sounds great on full throttle :D

    clio 182 RPM query..

    Possibly, although I had the wrong plugs put into mine last year, Dan changed them last month and it's driving properly again.

    clio 182 RPM query..

    And if it's not revving past 6500 when it's warm, check you've got the correct spark plugs!

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    Yeh took me about 20 mins of filing and eventually got it back on. I've f**ked the wiper though, looks really damaged! Will replace it one day, I'm not fussed about it looking perfect atm.

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    I ended up buying a small tool from Halfords to remove one of the wipers, and replaced the faulty pump with a £14 one from euro car parts. One of the headlights wasn't in properly (couldn't tell as there's a massive Ktek induction kit blocking it!), so put that in and twisted in - I'm just...

    No dash lights!

    This just came up in search, I'm hoping this will fix the same issue I've just discovered!

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    I've bought a new pump but can't remove one of the wipers so not sure what to do!! O and the registration bulb was out too, thought that would just be a case of changing the bulb but still not working :(

    MOT Failures (joy!)

    Both headlamp washers not working Both headlights aiming too low I presume the headlamp washers I can just replace with blanks - is there a guide anywhere for this? Headlamps aiming too low, I had a search on here and someone said something about an allen key to adjust??

    Renaultsport Clio 200 Raider

    http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renaultsport-clio-200-raider/1339474 The asking price was actually less than I was expecting, are these just not holding their value?

    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    Bit of an improvement but still the occasional squeak. Wondering now if it's worth sourcing an uprated Prima rear mount, as it could just be the rubbish cheap ebay mounts...

    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    So just tried to do the centre mount (red one) and it would not budge. Screw came out fine, but it would not slide off the hanger. I sprayed a load of white grease into it, and all around it, so we'll see if there's any improvement!

    Exhaust squeaking - please help!

    Yeh I took the mounts off and was essentially w**king off the exhaust with the mount!
