Thanks for the reply! I meant how do I check the motors are working before I reassemble? They are already out of the headlights so I wanted to connect them up to 12v to see if they are working before reinstalling. The headlight levelling doesn't work for some reason, nothing is broken in the...

I want to test these are working before I refit the headlights, anyone know which connections are which so I don't burn them out? Many thanks :up:.

Good price that cage was, I was so close to buying it! Gutted now (😞) cos it looks mint :cool:. Congrats on your purchase :up:.

I presume most of you are rinsing the car with an open hose? With a good lsp most of the water sheets off :up:

How much more expensive is the Redline stuff? If I'd just paid for a 'box refurb, a few extra dollars for good oil has gotta be worthwhile?

He repairs gearboxes (not just Clio ones), and considers the Redline stuff the best - through personal experience I believe. I like to browse these forums out of interest 🙈, so I only know this from general reading, I'm not affiliated with him in any way, and am not on any kind of...

From reading his posts on here, @NorthloopCup recommends MTL, and also from what I've read on these forums, he's the man! :cool::grinning:

That's excellent, thank you for the write up, very detailed! I feel confident I could do this now, and when I get round to it I'll try get some pics too :up:.

I've just looked at your thread again @Tomotek, and you did a trial fit without the bar and the bush was still too tight - I get it now :grinning:.

Thanks for replying :cool:. From your pic in your build thread it looked a bit like the inner diameter of the bush was too big and wouldn't compress enough round the bar......that was my thinking, in ignorance of course :smile:! So when fitting, have both front wheels off the ground, so bearing...

I guess @STEVE.M meant to quote me when I said.....

25mm it is then :up:. Thanks all!

Thanks :up:. Powerflex list two diameters on their webpage (23mm & 25mm), perhaps one is for Ph1?

That's interesting - I'm wonder though what size powerflex bushes @Tomotek used, 23 or 25mm, and if he used 25mm maybe 23mm would have been better? However I feel uneasy questioning what bushes he has fitted having seen the 'skillz' displayed in his build 🙈......

Maybe not, it could be either, I need to measure......

Yeah, it's 23mm, mk3 Clios are 25mm Thanks all, I'll give it a bash and report back when I can't do it 😅.

23mm sound right too?

Are the replacement bushes split to so as to go around the bar, or are they one piece an need sliding on from the end (I wonder if that makes any sense :laughing:?)

Great, there's no ramp going on 🙈. Will it be a self explanatory-type job?

The outer anti roll bar bushes have been replaced with polys at some stage, but the inners look worn and perished, so I'm gonna have a go at them at some stage soon. Are they a potential MOT fail? My searches have revealed they are a b1tch to do, but I've not managed to find a guide or fitting...

I got ECP bearings as spares as they only cost a few quid. I used them when I had a problem with my solid top mounts - they fitted fine and have performed well so far, however, I've only used them for one track day.

TBH you had me worried that my problem was going to be something more troublesome to sort 😅, glad it all worked out though :up:. Were your ST discs as much of a bargain as the Clio ones?

@JB21 linked to one on eBay for £20, and I very nearly bought it, but at £45 for new discs I thought at the very worst I'd end up with a spare set, so wigged out on the gauge 😅. It would be nice to have one though :up:.

So just to tidy up this thread...... Because the DS2500s were fubar'd I swapped them for some cheapo pads to see if that made a difference and the rumbling/vibration was much improved, but still there a bit. So I fitted new Brembo HC discs & Mintex M1155 pads and everything was perfect. So I...

Just order extra oil

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-torque-setting-guide-want-a-torque-setting-look-in-here-first.728550/ Can't vouch for the validity however :grimacing:!

Cheap eBay mounts and Tiger seal FTW! I've had Scorpion & KTec exhausts on my car and both the centre and rear hangers of both have had small bolts/washers in the end :up:

What bedding in procedure did you do please? :up:

Cool, thanks :grinning:. (I love these forums - barely had chance slurp my cuppa and got a reply :cool:).

Only toe is adjustable, is that right? Would need camber bolts to adjust camber I presume? And castor, no adjustment possible there? Need to get my facts right before I get my alignment checked......thanks!
