So here, my wee mate at Reno is ADAMANT that this is a replaceable CV boot. The part numbers he is showing are 7701209884, 7701471522 and 7701207822 depending on what inner cv is in place. Does anyone have any ideas about these? ???? J

Are we 100% that ECP ones arent right? is it all about the length? I mean this one LOOKS on the money...? J

This is nuts..... Worse than the timing belt monopoly IMO. Think I am going to take the hit mate and replace the shaft when i can, hoping I get a bit of discount at the dealers though. I reckon ill start arsing about with the old shaft when it comes out to see if there is a bit of tinkery...

It is brutally intrusive in my opinion, yes it has saved my bacon a few times but it can also land you in the s**t. Like, when you are "on it" in a corner and lose a bit of grip, hey presto....power off - tail ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut lol On that note, does anyone ever notice...

Cro, Fred, What is the problem with sticking a universal on this? Is it the clearance around that wee metal tube/cv housing? Would a well trimmed universal held on with wire still not clear the block? I always used to use fine wire and a tidy twist to fasten awkward boots on the Civic and...

Ill give her a go bud......its still one of those things that you dont like having on the car... Itll do my box in knowing its there J

Even if the inner has s**t its oil everywhere bud?

ABS rings..... I Used to get this all the time. One of the front rings had a micro crack in it, cost £10 to replace with cheapo ebay ones. Problem solved Jj

This could very well be the final nail in the coffin for this car for me :( I can swallow everything else, even the daft timing belt prices.......because I GET that it's tight in there, special tools are required and the floating pulleys etc etc But I cannot swallow such a ridiculous...

TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY QUID? Ill have that one out with them I think. That is not acceptable IMO to replace a rubber boot. Incidentally, I phoned hursts and they did say they supply that boot.............??? J

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!...... Okey dokey chaps.......Ill have to ponder.......might just poney up for the Renault one and see what (if any discount i can get) Any idea whats involved making the ph1 shaft work. Regards Andy

Oh no.......... Tell me it isnt true that there is NO REPLACEMENT for a drivers side inside CV boot? Seriously? A

Its ok buddy, just out from under the car and discovered what it is. Have lost the drivers side cv boot and grease. Off to euro car parts tomorrow for a new boot then ffs. Jj

Right, So the Clio was tired suspension wise when i bought it with the usual creaks/clunks etc when turning and so on, so as soon as i bought it, i replace: Top mount rubbers Top mount bearings Bottom ball joints Track rod ends Rear shocks Front springs "Fred" spec washers atop the struts...

Interested to see opinions on this... Mine isnt that bad but it does look pulled out of line imo. Im powerflexed and still have exhaust drummage. J

Would that not normally dictate crap timing? A

Aye....thanks for the replies team. Hence the seriously short supply. Cheers Andy

Sorry, probably a quick one...... Just wondering if anyone that has these could let me know if the 195/45/16 has a rim protector? Also, are they REALLY the bomb? Im ditching some old Avon ZV5's to be replaced with these, the Avon's were a bit, well....slimy. Thanks Andy

Might as well saw the manifold off....

Vehicular thrush tbh.......

Right, I have been reading numerous threads regarding the crazy heater behaviour when this "resistor pack/rheostat" goes potty. There seem to be a few more of late, is it possible this extreme cold is having an effect on this? I only ask as wifey has been driving my car the past few days...

To be fair, mine is a bit boke too.......but at least I TRY :rasp:

WTF? Does that not make, like a SLIGHT rattle?

^ All of the above....however, I was always of the opinion that the cold/damp went for leads first...no? J

Gotta be throttle pedal or throttle body related. When my TB got wet, it behaved similar.......i.e., idled at about 2.5-3k and the pedal had no effect Fortunately mine resolved itself, when it dried out but not sure what could have goosed yours. Suppose the cold/damp could have a similar...

It's normal.....and I kinda like it. It's just a lumpy wee motor tbh. J

Fixed that for you chap ;)

Cheers buddy.... Ill get on the dog and bone now Andy

Ok, all sounds positive enough. Anyone had dealings with endsleigh in this regard?

What is this "Aero Deflector" buddy? Andy
