I just need to get the inner tie rod in place so I can actually move the car to my mechanic for further inspcection

Maybe thermostat is faulty

Thanks for that Daniel doesn't help it happened around christmas I'm just hoping its just the inner tie rod thats bent Here's a pic I took before of it

Cheers Steven Got the track rod today will fit it and take it easy to my mechanics where he can give it a full once over It looks easy enough to fit if not looks like my cars being broken for parts and I'm not driving anymore. No car is nO job no job is no money no money is no car and so on...

There is plenty of guides in the guides section mate but you need to be a Clio sport member. On the other hand there is a video on YouTube showing you exactly how to do it from opening the dials to soldering the LEDS on Nick Edit

Possible leak between cat and manifold? Manifold gasket worn maybe? Sounds like the O2 sensor is giving a false reading Nick

I'll put a pic up tomorrow it's a solid bolt with a round head and has 4 oblong rectangles cut out at different angles around its diameter

I think there may be some rivets too? Could be mistaken I had the top off my dash today and seems to have 2 silver rivets in front of the clock Nick

Cheers guys I'll nip my local motor factors first and see if they have anything available for removing them if not an oversize socket it is

Thems are the ones you absolute gem! Single wire as per mine with an orange clip! Thank you mate

Your a star, Trouble is what are those other wires? It's just the orange clip on mine no other wires there. Will it fit a mk2 ph1? 2000 clip Nick

Ok after my bump I've just found time to take the airbags out now the passenger easy as pie but the drivers my god what a hassle!? The orange clip on the back of the unit appeared to be sealed with some orange sealant or so I thought it appears to have melted the clip to the back of the airbag...

Will I need to replace impact sensors aswell? Also would the rear seats have pre tensioners and I'm guessing they would have set off aswell?

It's not a 172 mate it's just a 1.2 with a 172 kit on it :P I'll have a look when I get a new rod I have lost my locking but key though I know that I'm having no luck wih this car! How do I get a locking nut off without a key?

I've heard the special tool is just a stud extractor a pair of mole gripes / vice grips will suffice mate

Take the top of the dash off you should be able to get to the clock from the top there is a guide on it in the guide section

Do I have to pop the lower ball joint?

As on my previous thread how do I replace the whole track rod not just the ends as mentioned in my previous thread it's absolutely f*cked I mean 60-70 degree bend in it hub side at least need to replace it to get my car to a mechanic to check it over further Cheers Nick

My mechanic has a clip computer mate I just need to get it in a drivable state which means getting that bar replaced behind my wheel

Cheers sam you have pm Does the drivers side have a pre tensioner? Had a look the passenger one has set off and all the surround has smashed to bits wondere why I found plastic on my floor Nick

Damn how necessary is a seatbelt pretensioner really? I didnt feel my seat belt tighten that im aware. Also how easy are they to fit? Or am I best just passing it my mechanic and let him go for it.

I've bent the track rod least it's not too expensive

Been looking air bag 20 a piece and looked this morning at it in the light it appears a bolt has sheared from the bottom? So we are going to stick a bolt in the hole and see then the alloy has taken most of the force

I do only have £30 a piece bargain tyres on I guess really couldnt afford anything else at the time (nor can I afford repairs really lol) So if the parts are sourced from a scrap yard my mechanic knows the owner and forever gets stupidly big discounts from?

As the title says, ive just taken a corner at my normal speed (35 ish on a 40 road) the corner is fairly sharp and was wet. Now unfortunatly the back end went light and swung out I managed to get it back in but in the process my front end decided to follow what the back end was doing so the...

PM me the first 8 digits of your VIN matey and ill sort you out over chirstmas :) and your email too Nick

I'd use Eurocar parts website to get a rough gestimate mate. Put in your Reg number and start pricing Nick

Sam, If you get stuck with set wiring I can get you (although rather limited) Wiring diagrams as I have Renault Diolagys so I have most workshop manuals and diagrams from Renault (The main wiring loom isn't really something I can get though) but other things such as dash components, speakers...

Take the top of the dash off and cowling around the steering column (3 torx screws) then you can remove the dials and the clock/radio from there its a matter of disassembling them and modifying. The clock/radio is just an orange filter of light if memory serves? Nick

I'd go for yellow if it's a yellow and gold theme Nick
