Brilliant read, and Fred great report! Good move re finding a Trophy, hope you get a good one ;-)

Estimated to others on here, rediculously under-estimated to 99.9% of every other car owner / road user! Most of my work colleagues wonder what I'm talking about when I mention the dampers, most people just see it as an ordinary Clio.

Re: What did you drive before Clio’s MG Metro AX GT (absolutely mint) AX GT5 AX GT AX GT Cabriolet AX Forte Clio 172 Clio 182 Trophy

Must admit, when I first started driving I had a right old clapped out MG Metro but to this day, I wish I had saved my money up before buying car after car after car! My Trophy is off the road having dampers refurbed and must say my other halfs Saxo VTR (S reg.) is a 'beast' to buzz about in and...

Looking to help a colleague and friend at work whose Clio is over-revving when changing gear (she thinks it's the clutch but her other half disagrees!). Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Because it is just so under-estimated

Crikey that shifts - very nervous for the driver mind you!!

Agree!

Cheers Fred. (note to self must read guide before attempting job!)

Parked the car up ready to remove the dampers for a refurb and thought I may as well replace the rear pads whilst the car was off the ground. Have a feeling that I did not release the handbrake when I replaced them but cannot be sure! Have I done much damage? Pads fitted and car brakes as...

Fantastic job done there, very impressed!

Assume the 182 cup would be the same as the Trophy? Can you get just the track rod ends from anywhere other than Renault?

Ball joint breaker / fork. Also used this tool to remove my windscreen wipers on my old 172!

Last time I did mine on the drive they were a right sod to 'pop' out of the hub!

Thanks both - just spoke to friend at garage who was adamant this will not be a problem!

I did think that but reading some posts on here says they are near on impossible to remove without damaging them!

Car going in to a friends garage on Saturday to have majority of front suspension components replaced but seem to have overlooked a likely problem with the front ABS sensors. Are these likely to be damaged if the hubs are removed for new bearings to be pressed in? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone please confirm? Heading off to Renault shortly and if they screw up my order the second time the parts will not arrive for sat! Concerened as there are 2 sizes of the outer bush and need to make sure they get me the right one!

Went to Renault today and bought 2 outer ARB bushes numbered 7700799404. Any idea if these are correct as found conflicting information. Thanks

Hi, Doing the same 'project' myself - make sure you advise Euro Car Parts on the 25% online discount - got the Lemforder ball joints at trade for £13.65 + VAT each (Fred recommends these). Not too sure on the track rod ends for the Trophy but would imagine the Lemforder are a good shout again...

Exactly this but can see why he has done this and wouldn't mind a set myself - you can see them when jacking the car up ;-)

Used the cheaper 75w90 in mine (most on here say it is ok) and should of used 75w80 - mine also 'stiff' going into 1st some mornings.

Standard Trophy setup from factory other than refurbed front dampers depinned and new rear Sachs shocks.

Did you go for the Lemforder joints? Picked up a pair from ECP for £13.65 each! Fitted some 'cheapie' ball joints a short while ago and have knocking already!!

The Clio Panda, awesome!!

Mine knocks over speeds bumps - usually a good sign!
