    Would you say a clutch change is a specialist only job??

    I was also concerned with undoing the subframe as i had heard horror stories of the clips coming off the back of the captive nuts inside the chassis. So took the motor out the top. 3 hrs first time didnt think that was too bad .....

    Would you say a clutch change is a specialist only job??

    I did mine myself. Clutch release bearing collapsed at 108K on my phase 1. I was quoted £250 by Mr Clutch in Northampton, they use a relined clutch which in this day and age is absolutely mental. Other quotes were upto £1000........ I opted to do it myself and lifted the motor out complete with...

    Helpp Clutch :((((

    My 172 did it for several months before the release bearing finally collapsed ( it had done 100K and in a 172 thats good going ). If you have a 172 then start saving ( £400+ fitted ) ! As i see you have a 1.2 i doubt its too big an issue....

    On way home tonight had the blower on full. Arrived home and the fan will not turn off. Even removing the key the fan still runs. Had to disconnect the battery to stop it. Will check in the morning. Any ideas ?

    Clio 1.2 - odd steering sensation

    Have a Clio 1.2 which is fitted with an electric rack. When driving straight ahead it feels to have a 'high spot' ! The effect is that is seems to be very sensitive to road surface. Can only describe at a bit 'vague' .... The tracking has been checked and all is good. Tyres are good with no...

    Gearbox Issue.....Again..

    When my clutch went the guy at renault talked me out of the Elf box oil. They only sold it out of a lrge drum. I went and bought some valvoline box oil. Works perfectly and was cheap ( £10 filled the box ). I recall it is specific for french boxes, Renault and Peugeot. Cant recall the...

    Changing Clutch, removing parts help!

    Yep thats the one. Mine got quite badly chewed when the release baring went poop. I undidi the bolts but couldnt shift it. Unbeknown to me i had managed the pop the seal off the back of it. Not too bad on my phase 1 as it just refits with a new sleeve. Apparently on a phase 2 the box needs...
