Pretty common if you have a search. Believe it is the power steering pump. (I have it too)

Check out the search button, literally hundreds of threads on engine oil recommendations. Could consider the Renault Elf SXR 5w-40 too 519 Automotive on here do a deal on it with oil filter etc.

Just to start with I would put it up on a ramp/ jack it up, and visually see if you can see what is bent. Stress marks etc on anything. Is the wheel looking like it is toe'ing out then or the whole wheel just sitting further out?

Get a leak down test carried out possibly. Will show if valve seats are not sealing, blowby etc, and also by how much.

Re: do you need to have your alligment looked at once you have had a track rod end fi For peace of mind I probably would. If they measured, counted turns etc when they fitted the new end then chances are they probably got the new end on within tracking tolerances. So up to you really.

What was happening leading up to you breaking down? Loss of power, noise, smoke, etc? Generally if a bottom end goes it will have been making a "knocking" noise.

That is immaculate! Will be keeping an eye on this. Sorry to hear about your loss, hopefully will make a lot of people think. Hard to think about, as I'm a 1988 baby too, and also lost two good friends last year in an accident. Good luck with the project....not that it looks like it needs much...

That pulls fantastically well, bet that catches many people out!

Just to get clear? On the V5c your 182 is registered as a 1600 convertible?

Another agree here! I paid and did a skidpan course few years ago, quite possibly the best thing I ever did! I know I used what I learnt automatically on at least 1 occasion when I hit a diesel spillage! Should be part of the test for sure.

As Chip says, towing isn't allowed. This thread may be of interest to you: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?311130-Towbar-for-cup-172&highlight=towbar

Great write up! Been wondering for quite some time what your set up was! Nice to see someone playing around and not just grabbing something of the shelf! Top work!

Great work! Did one myself last year, very rewarding and customer thought it had been resprayed!haha

Impressive. Just realised it's not a sport too.

O cool! I might meet you then this year as I used to get down to some of his races to support. Haven't managed to in a while though.

Shame about the off! You may get to know a good friend of mine Nathan Ward who races in the championship. (In fact the range rover in the background in your pictures is his dads as they were down on Thursday too)

O my. Would like to see the video! Least it all being sorted now!

Haha! Awesome! As above I want a drive like that!

You would be surprised, it's possible, it depends. The bolt would have been under tension from the wheel face through to the thread engaged in the hub. With the bolt head snapped off, the thread remaining in the hub is no longer under tension. It will depend on if it was tight because of so much...

That is just cool!

Lovely looking car and great work!

Lucky guy! Thats quite an accident!

Looks fantastic! Remember first having a soft spot for it when I saw it up at BTM! Favourite ph1 for sure!

Nice write up! Really can't wait till I get a chance to do a similar trip. What was your total mileage for the trip roughly?

Don't envy the sound deadening removal, took me bl##dy ages when I did my mini shell before the shell went for blasting. That was 10kg of thick bitumen tar

Carbon Lorraine's don't need bedding in really, the only advice given is that with new disc's the braking system should be warmed up progressively, but no bedding in is required. The bite from cold with RC5+ isn't great at times, but by the sounds of it, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to...

Fantastic mileage to see! Look forward to seeing the 200k mark!

Much better! The quality of some of the mounts out there are horrendous! I had the same problem after 2 months with one of my mounts!

Love it! Marmite colour, but I'm definitely a like!

Re: My Renaultsport RB 200 Clio! Loving looking car! Very nice indeed!
