    Knock when coming off accelerator

    Most notable at lower speeds and in 2nd/3rd, don't have to accelerate hard, just slightly and when I come off the pedal there's a very slight delay (<1s) then a light knock that appears to be from the front right. Engine mounts and gearbox mounts are all pretty new.

    Well I wasn't sure if you had the exact same blades. Seems odd I should have to use so much force, much more than just a jiggle.

    With that sort of angle shown in the 3rd photo? Something is going to break first.

    So is one of yours essentially just hooked onto the arm without the plastic clip to retain it? It had crossed my mind but wasn't sure how secure it would be if the retaining clip broke off.

    I think there's a misunderstanding here. The bend in the wiper arm on the car physically seems to prevent fitment. You pop the top of the wiper blade open and slide it over the wiper arm but the bend in the wiper arm doesn't let you hook it in as the bit you popped open on the wiper blade is...

    How on earth are these meant to fit with the bend in the wiper arm getting in the way? I bought these as they're listed for the car but I swear something is going to break before the thing mounts.

    Cheapest place for Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ?

    Anyone use the 87W XL ones and can offer a comparison with Goodyear Eagles with regards to how the feel with stiffer sidewalls?

    Ah good news! It's getting rear discs and pads shortly so I can mention to the garage.

    Rear discs source

    I'll keep that in mine if I need fronts done cheers. What's the story regarding rear caliper seal kits with these? Can find plenty options to buy fronts but struggling with rears. Despite both rear calipers being replaced by the previous owner 2 years ago, my O/S/R brake pad is about half the...

    Yeah true, I forgot they were pricier than you'd think. I found these Brembo ones for the front that look good value FWIW- https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/brakes/renault-clio-mk2-brembo-front-brake-kit-road-use-2-0-16v-172-182-renaultsport.html?___SID=U

    What's the latest on the best place to source OEM discs? These discs and pads for under £100- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281077355493?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Seems pretty good to me but I'm sure I've seen folk in the past quoting really cheap costs for these...

    Standard gearshift in Tayside?

    Yeah I'd appreciate that thanks. I should be going to have a look at a car in Arbroath in a couple of weeks or so too so at least I'll have a good frame of reference now.

    Standard gearshift in Tayside?

    Cheers but it was more to compare the actual shifting action of the gear lever.

    Standard gearshift in Tayside?

    Still having bother with my gearshift despite removing the Yanoo lever (3rd to 4th feels crap and inconsistent) and I'm not sure if the linkage is standard or not. The garage seemed to say everything was fine but there is still something not right. Looking to compare it with a 100% standard one...

    Gearchange- 3rd to 4th

    Again, can anyone help with the actual gear linkage parts required? I've replaced the gear lever for standard and it's infinitely better but 3rd to 4th can still be inconsistent. This is really starting to grate. I can find a diagram alone but trying to find a diagram and all the parts listed...

    Cruise control/speed limiter not working

    So I can call up the symbols on the dash when I press the switch but can't actually activate either of them. I've had the car since October 2014 and it's never worked in my ownership, just getting round to it now. I've had it in at the garage and the mechanic was thinking either the clutch...

    Limp home mode light/EML

    I've seen the throttle body mentioned from what google has shown me? Symptoms- Stopped at some traffic lights then when I pulled away the EML (the one on the far right of the dash) started flashing, accelerating hard through second it kept doing it for a few seconds then stopped and...

    What short shift kit is this?

    The biggest issue comes when down-changing from 4th to 3rd. I had all this done because when driving hard a lot of the time it wouldn't let me go into 3rd from 4th straight away, it'd just be solid and I'd have to release pressure on the lever and then it'd let me get 3rd. Driving back from the...

    What short shift kit is this?

    Attempting to improve this shift and not having much joy. Previous owner had powerflexed the dog bone mount and I've just had both engine/gearbox mounts replaced for OEM and the gearbox oil changed. Marginally better shift but still not something that's particularly good.

    Engine mount movement

    What about vibration in the cabin with aftermarket ones?

    Engine mount movement

    I've heard some folk say that then as many say to stick with original due to excess vibration. I'm trying to cure the issues I'm having with the short shift kit I have.

    Engine mount movement

    Are these definitely OEM quality? Looking to do mine, keeping it standard but having bother finding genuine Renault ones. As an aside, is there a website for Renault parts similar to this for BMW?- http://www.bmminiparts.com/ Finding parts diagrams for any BMW is easy but not quite as...

    I messaged Yanoo and he says it's one of his.
