Get the Renault ones, they are just under £100 + vat, comes with everything you need and while you are at the dealer ask for the Motrio rear pads as well.
Knocking will be something worn, ball joints seem to be failing all the time on the sports lately so get that checked.
You need to get the knocking sorted before the suspension set up or you will just be wasting money.
I recommend my local Pro-Tyre as they are spot on, cant say what your local...
Boolocks had mine on the ramp today for this very problem, had to get it off the ramp for a waiting job and forgot to do it, thanks for reminding me.
Large washer and new nut usually does the job, or rip it off if your hardcore.
Seen that a few times before , not just on the sports.
Feel sorry for the guy that booked in for a cambelt change on his scenic the other week, booked it for the following week but he turned up the very next day on a breakdown truck with a snapped cambelt.
Kits around £116+vat
Official book time is 2.2 hours, thats if you do it the long way and take the bumper and headlight out which you really dont need to do.
A decent garage should be able to do this job no problems.
best advise is do it when the car is cold!
I hate it when people come in for this job and expect it done within an hour, many a time I have ended up with a great big blister on my hand.
Use a proper oxygen sensor socket and it will be easy to remove, forget spanners and normal sockets correct...
crikey seems if anything costs more than 15 pence lately its expensive, good price that IMO as long as its a full timing belt kit but get them to check the waterpump and change the accessory belt.
wrong washer as the Renaults with alloy sumps need the washer with the rubber seal, but if its not leaking I might be able to get rid of the shed load of washers I have just like that one.
change the starter motor, and if your clever you dont need to remove the driveshaft as it will come out via the top of the engine rather than the bottom.
open bonnet, look at the black plastic bit just under the front screen on the drivers side and remove large plastic panel its under that and has a load of wires going to it.
Have a look in the guides section for changing pollen filter its basically the same, the connector has lugs that you need...
so its climate control if you press buttons to get fan and temp to change with button pressing.
I expect you could have two things wrong, heater resistor fooked and a possible mixer motor failure, could even be the panel at fault.
Needs a clip diagnostic test to see whats causing the problem.
Or...
mm.. I run 13.98 and 0-60 in 5.8 secs in a full fat 172 with exhaust/remap and laughing gas and that took around 6 attempts.
You might be lucky if you get your tyres up to temp and get a perfect start.
whats your location?
Is it a climate control system or poverty spec dials that control the heating system?
More info you give and the more we are all able to help ;)
