Could always sell them on when your done. I bet somebody would pay 100 for a set of genuine tools. Think I paid 145 from rpd and sold them to my mate for 60 quid, but that was a mates rate

There's a good chance itl be fine then, I think alot of people just do it as a precaution really.

How many miles has the dephaser done since you last changed it?

Nah dephaser isn't a must but for the sake of 100 quid do you really want to take it all apart of it starts to rattle again in 12 months time? If your doing the work yourself then I wouldn't bother, but for the amount of labour garages charge for the full job I wouldn't want to be paying it twice!

The usual is just the crank bolt, dephaser, cam seals, cam seals are a must really, and come in a pack with new nuts and bolts for the pulleys Water pump can be done without touching the cambelt anyway so that's not an issue. Perhaps worth resealing the rocker cover, seems to be a common area...

I was under the impression that the genuine Renault locking pin deals with it no problem, but I think id jam the fly with a big screwdriver and keep the load on the screwdriver but keep the pin in place to keep the timing in the correct position

I think they've all got esp haven't they? My 182 cup packed and 172 both had esp and both used the same sensor

Nope, cheapest ones I found that fit are made by a company called triscan and are about 50 quid each

Put a volt meter on the pins and see which one goes 12v when you put it in reverse

Yeh beautiful colour, I paid over the odds for it but there was only 112 made so I wanted the exclusivity of it. I believe they did a similar colour in the type S for a longer run, but they look nowhere near as good as the R

Since buying my civic I've spent about 1500 quid on it to get it to a standard I wanted. Mugen grill Mugen spoiler Double din head unit with a decent amp and door speakers Cobra sport cat back Luckily it already came modded with an ecutec remap, mfactory LSD, fresh wheel refurb and a hks...

An rs tuner module might be an option for you then, only about 200 new from fastchip https://www.fastchip.nl/shop/clio/clio-2-products/rstuner-kit-detail

Sounds like it's got a dodgy map. I wouldn't be revving it to 8k if we're you, specially not on a standard engine

For it to come out that fast I'd say the passenger side boot seal, but you never know.

I can't see how they wouldn't fit. Renault parts direct list the same rear discs for the 172 and 182. I used mintex on my 172 and the bearings were still going strong when I sold it.

Looks to me like a new style nut with old style top mounts

Quality of jr isn't bad, it's just weather they send you the correct part that is the issue lol If it's too low you could end up bottoming out the joints if your running alot of camber too. Genuine second hand ones are probably all shagged by now unless you can find some off a low mileage.

Are the wheels facing dead straight? Or can you remember where they were facing before you took them off? One full turn should be quite noticeable

When I did mine I completely bolloxed up and spun the steering wheel loads trying to reattach the pinch bolt before I worked out how it went back together. Completely knackered up the position sensor. But I put it all back together, centered the wheels and took off the steering angle sensor and...

What issue you having? Providing you didn't move the steering wheel, then lower the subframe back down and make sure the steering rack is facing where it was before and then raise the subframe making sure that the universal joint connection goes back together properly, might need to wiggle the...

Yeh, even kwick fit and the likes do it, just be prepared for the hard sell after theyve given you your free check

Might be worth getting it on a decent alignment machine before hand to see how much camber and toe you've already got on the back they always seem to be out on the back anyway

It looks loud. Those silencers are tiny as hell.

What's wrong with the abs sensor anyway? Not been damaged by an incorrectly spaced rear disc has it? ;)

Not sure, probably not as even if the abs unit is on the opposite side, the sensors still plug in at the back axel anyway, but I'm not too sure to be honest

That appears to be the correct part number yes, I got the other side from autodoc and the fit was perfect.

I think it's only for noise dampening anyway, so unless the added noise bothers you, jus leave it off

I did my grab handles on the Clio and got a decent finish. The key is prepping the surface, it took me hours of sanding to get all that nasty sticky mess off.

I did the same because commuting with a decat pipe was unbearable lol
