Must just be me but id much rather see the process out the car so its clear to see!

Sounds like clutch release bearing on the clutch if it's a MK2? A 2006 could be either a 2 or a 3! Lots of blue smoke could be the turbo on its way out but the car may just be needing a good run, 80 miles is a good distance but possibly not a lot of load. Worth giving the egr valve a clean out...

Got some replacement centre caps for the wheels, they will be going for a refurb in gold, a throwback to Ali G's 5GTT which had the same wheels 😂 Exhaust blow is all sorted now and she's running sweet! Anyone know a solution for getting the ABS, STOP and SERV lights off as it's throwing a...

Easy once the manifold is off if you can weld!

Ktec sell replacement flexis, I ordered a set for a customers car as it saved me the hassle of getting it in a ramp first to measure etc

I negotiated a SIM only deal when 4g with unlimited data was a fairly new thing so they were ££££ after ages in the phone I had a plan which was about £60 but they had put through discounts, so my bill looked like Plan £60 Upgrade discount -5 Upgrade discount -£7.50 Loyalty discount -£10 Loyalty...

Yeah I agree, I've got a decent set of pads on my 197 and they are very good, but I've had similar performance from single piston calipers. Very light if your a good enough driver to make the most of less unsprung weight but I'm not lol

doh! now i see your game haha

I found the brakes on mine were better than the 197/200 Brembos on the car it replaced, not sure on the size difference between them but they looked huge!

Just call Renault assistance and get it recovered to the dealership?

The airbag ribbon is inside the squib

that will be the Squib, i dont know why renault call it a squib...

If it's the same as the process on a MK2 then you will need the dashboard switch, the steering squib, wheel/airbag with buttons, clutch and brake pedal switches then may or may not need to configure it in Clip depending on how the car is setup (on the MK2 RS cars don't need config but non RS...

mine fitted in nicely but if its had a new windscreen in its life its possibly off slightly, you could probably use a dab of silicon to hold it in

usually it jumps out of 5th when the box oil is low

Lower arm bushes probably, seen it on its cousin the gashqui

£50 and a crate of stella is a good deal! its a nice easy job on that engine right enough, first timing belt i done was a D4F and its a good one to start with! few months later i moved onto the F4R!

The ticking sounds normal, but the odd uneven noise sounds like a bearing on the rotation side, id put my cash on the water pump, for all it costs id get the timing belt and water pump changed and make sure they change the aux tensioner/roller too.

not done much with this yet, but realised that CSF is approaching fast and this is probably the car closest to being fixed so need to get a move on to take it!! Had a small leak from the thermostat housing that i couldn't see for the airbox so finally found it, replaced it and awaiting more...

DONT FORGET IF YOU HAVE A DODGY MOT YOUR INSURANCE IS INVALID AND IF YOU GET CAUGHT YOU WILL BE PUNISHED SEVERELY* *The club members, who never forget, will disown you, and never like another post, ever again.

given the hassle you had with the relatively straight forward job id get it to a specialist to fit the new squib, how did you manage to get the steering wheel off centre? its a keyed spline?!

lower arms, subframe etc are all the same, as is the anti roll bar, track rods and track rod ends. All you need is hubs, calipers and carriers, discs, pads, and shocks. probably £100 to do it at a guess?! mine was a bit different as i bought a doner car as i was changing more than just the...

if its pulling on power, something's moving in the front end under engine load, lower arm inner bushes, outer ball joints, track rods or track rod ends

an afternoon after a trip to the scrappy is your best solution, i done it on my Grande, move over to ph2 hubs and brakes, means you also go from solid front discs to 260mm vented!

i use the cheapo mild steel off the shelf system, sounds similar to standard, been on 3 years with no issues...

Correct, Roof liner is the same as a non sunroof, base spec (authentique/campus/van) - The cheapo looking one lol interior is specific to cup, you have a few options non RS wise that are closer but not the same: extreme 4/campus sport - same design seat and patern but different colour...

Will be the boot button that's faulty, very common (a trend going on here with common faults :ROFLMAO: )

My rad fan is on its way out too, sounds like it's about to shear off and exit thru the bonnet. My AC compressor got quiet after a regas for a few days then back to noisy again, they get noisy when they are low on gas

Yeah that's the normal location for the needle to sit. Mine has a noisy AC compressor too. AC worked lovely after a regas but it's died and I've got the dye over the bottom of the compressor so I assume it's leaking/dead

Very rare in a manual!
