Its hard to say what could be causing that. Have you checked the tyre?? I doubt its the driveshaft, has the car had any suspension mods?

Greg did you have any problems fitting a ph2 wheel? Did the airbag connect up ok??

I think the bearing is only available with the clutch kit. Its nothing to worry about really, a lot of them do it. Just replace it when/if you ever replace the clutch.

^As above, it could be the clutch release bearing.

^Doh, where they on ebay and ended tonight?? I was watching them but forgot to bid!!!

Spotted a rb with strips last night on the a47 braunstone roundabout. Anyone on here??? You wouldnt have seen me, I was driving a Suzuki.

Im sure there is a rubber orange cap thing.

As above it will be fine, mine rubs on the cover and the cable throttle bracket.

Ah, happy memories.

You need one of these:

Love it, monaco rocks and is a hard colour to keep clean!!

He probably was feeling a bit guilty for leaving his brick in the middle of the road. :clown: On a more serious note it shouldnt be too hard to fix, need a new 2nd hand sump, a new gasket and some oil.

Looking good, it looks similar to my old car being a 5 door.

Try and keep the bit on the drivers side that protects the aux belt.

No they wont. But some new bearings and get them pressed in your new discs.

I cannot think of any differences. Id also like to know if anyone can think of anything as this is on my list of things to do.

Passed a nice looking flamer heading towards leicester today on way home from work. It had a really small front number plate. ANyone?

Thanks matt. I thought an itg would filter better after cleaning one once in petrol and seeing all the crap come out of it. I could be wrong though as never attempted to clean a paper filter.

I doubt it will be the shock mounts. Sounds like something is possibly bent somewhere or the steering rack is nackered. If you turn the wheel at a stand still is there any play then. Best to get it on ramps and check for play all along the steering rack.

Push the back down without the handbrake on, and do the test as mentioned above. If youve ever been in a car with nackered shocks it will feal very unsettled going over bumps. Chances are the knocking is something else like the exhaust or even the trailing arm bushes.

Theres still a benifit to having an itg. Its cleanable and re-useable where a renault one has to be changed at each service. Its also does a better job of filtering the air.

It looks exactly the same as a 172 one if that helps.

Pressing the clutch shouldnt effect the carbon canister. It could be a worn clutch release bearing, but they normally make a noise when the clutch is not engaged.

Halfords sell them but they are only bolts, not torx.

Im going to get flamed for saying this but a standard Renault 172mk1 paper filter is less restrictive than a itg filter.

I wouldnt worry about it too much. I know there are 2 different cambelt kits, later Clio sports had a different tensioner that had a thicker/stronger bolt holding it on hence the different part number. Also somethimes Renault will change part suppliers or remanufacture different parts to a...

Im sure theres a technical note from renault about it.

As above chances are its the idler on the aux belt. Its fairly easy to change. The idler is the lowest down part of the aux belt and is a bit exposed to the elements. Failing that get them to check the water pump and power steering pump.
