Like those alloys! I bet yours ain't £500. Perhaps for the wheels alone

This fella reckoned he had been running the car to London and back so I wouldn't expect condensation in the filler cap. Been to look at another 2 yesterday. 1 was meant to have full history and was already running when I turned up. Turned out didn't have any service history. 2nd which has...

What I might do is buy the release bearing and when I have a long weekend (unfortunately I need the car tomorrow) fit it and see if that solves it. That way I'm only out of pocket for the time it's taken me.

That's what I had initially thought and I hope your right as this is a cheaper option! However the noise goes away when I press down on the clutch pedal. My understanding is that if the release bearing was bad I'd hear the noise when I press the pedal, where as I hear the noise when the pedal is up.

Love these and wouldn't mind one myself. Very practical and seem to be quite quick for there size.

Checked. It's got nice new fluid in it full to the brim. My temp fix will be to turn my stereo up until it warms up and stops screeching. Lol

No I haven't. It's just had a new engine put in 2 month a go which they put new fluid in. It's just the butterfly lug on the front?

Second for the eibach's. I have these and love them

I think this is my best option. The sound like I say is really evident even when it's idling in neutral with the clutch engaged and when u blip the peddle. The screach it makes sounds like a slipping auxiliary belt ( it's not the belt as the sound is definitely coming from the box). I'm...

Thanks for having a look for me. I think as it only happens when cold I'll hold off until it makes the noise all the time. Either way it's going to need a clutch and gear box I'd it is the input shaft bearing

Not what I wanted to hear. I think dismantling a box may be slightly out of my league. There seems to be a lot of YouTube video's for Honda gearboxes but couldn't find any for renault

Brilliant mate. Thanks for this. I was suddenly panicking that this was a full box strip down job and buying recon box might be a easier option

Ok I'm a little confused. I'm struggling to find where the input bearing should be on the gearbox. I've attached a pic and can't see how or where I would have to get my hand in to get the bearing out. So do I need to open the box to get at it? If any one could tell me where the input bearing...

So better to remove the box. Cheers for the help

Strangely the more it goes wrong the more I love it. In for a penny in for a pound

Oh f**k! Thought this would be am easy ish fix! On the plus side car has just had a new engine so everything should come apart easily

Has the full box got to come out or can I just slide it across?

Yep I can hear it in neutral and idling. Input bearing then? Reckon this is a garage job or a competent home mechanic fix?

Got 2 to look at tomorrow and I'm waiting for a fella to get back to me about the timing belt on another

No this one was knackered. White sludge in the cap, water bottle a lovely black colour and recently replaced with water. I drove the car for a bit pulled over took the oil cap off and was greeted by smoke. This one was dead

Bit of a update. Been and looked at two potentials. Boy is this end of the market tough! One had head gasket failure written all over it. Seller said its a great car I've had it 2 weeks. Needless to say I walked away. The other was slightly better but needed clutch, brakes, bushes all...

As above really. When driving and the car is in gear i get a whining noise which I have to be honest is pretty loud. After about a half hour the noise dispapears. It also dispappears when the clutch pedal is pressed. Any guesses as to what it is? clutch release bearing maybe?

At 10 thou a year your provably right

Champion lads, I thought it was a bit over priced. .........but by the looks of things I might be wrong. Could be 2nd clio in the family tomorrow

Going to go and have a look at a 1.2 petrol clio on an 02 plate tomorrow for my son. The car is £500 and has 118,000 on the clock with some service history. Now I think £500 is a bit steep and ideally I want to pay around £350. Do u fellas think this is an attainable price? Any haggling...

Second this. ^^. I would also consider a small subwoofer and some sound deadening for the doors to get shot of the rattle

Are the carrier bolts free? Mine had seized on the driver side. Your best bet will be to dismantle everything and checks it's all loose. I bet the caliper has seized up again

Oh yeah and my drive needs re-Tarmac-ing. It's just a little pitted!

Discs fitted just need them to bed in Finally got round to replacing my rear exhaust bracket. This was a pain in the arse as the captive nut inside the box section sheared off Here's the little blighter! So in went a m8 rivet nut. I have to say I love these! And one if the hanger back...

Ha! I quite like this option. Only started pissing about with it to fit a poly bush in as it's shagged. Should have known better than to start on a Sunday!
