Seen your motors on the road, Always look smart :-)

Good progress, Reminds me I really should get around to sorting my grubby interior

You might work same as me we just got loads of 460's there fine till we backload pop then they struggle a bit up the hills Actually I just read your profile seems we work together, Small world lol

With that motor probably not much in it :D

Cant remember what the top mount is like on the clio but I had a similar thing on my megane after a few garages fitting and trying most things I cured it by spliting the top mount and fitting a tiny washer to space it slightly.

The 5 :-)

Cheers new ones in just need to fill it up and see if shes cured :-)

Come to change the diff seal on my ph1 as its leaking but I cant work out how to remove the old one as access is prety tight laid on my back looking up. Dont want to go forcing it out and knacking something else! :o

When mine was doing this it was a snapped spring but I think it started with a crack as I could not see the problem at first

Need a bit more advice, Before ordering the bits i removed the drip tray and cleaned everything up oil defiantely looked to be coming from diff seal so whilst i was under there i pushed the drive shaft in and out pushed the seal etc and as result its no longer leaking :S Been on a few drives...

Thanks again how is the seal held in just by force :) Made a mental note to drain oil first lol

Cheers Fred much appreciated, So remove Shaft, Drain box oil and swap seal over? Anyone know the correct name / part number looks like i need to ring Renault

My clio is leaking oil it looks to be coming from the Diff/box seal on the O/S as best i can tell leaking from the rubber seal between the diff and the driveshaft extender thingy (Can't remember its proper name), Its not a drip either but not spewing out assuming it is the diff seal is it a easy...

Top idea :)

Whacked the starter with a bar and now the celunoid is clicking but starter is doing nothing so im presuming thats the problem looks a nightmare to change though !

Very funny !

Checked relays, Battery terminals and fuses. Convinced its not Battery, As its always been a crap starter by turning over slowly before firing i'm hoping its a dodgy earth or live wire to the starter, Don't fancy changing starter looks a nightmare job :(

This is on my daily megane 1.9DCi The car has always been a lazy started since i got it over a year ago and on a couple of ocasions the engine has turned over really slow then not at all leaving it 5 minutes and it was back to normal. Today after work the car turned over really slowly then when...

Sorted now in my rush I had managed to rebuild the struts wrong :$ On a plus note i'm now quite good at removing and refitting struts lol Missus has given it another test drive and says it seems to be riding and handling a lot better so hopefully it will be o.k on tomorrows re test for MOT...

Its all back on there ,The only thing I can think is its in the wrong order maybe? Just dropping struts back off now should have taken pics :-/

Need some help here :banghead: Springs are seated right and checked top mounts but its still turning the springs with the steering , Can feel it on the road never mind tight turning !!! So im just assuming im a numpty is it possible to put the top of the struts back together wrong?? I have...

Yup the missus is well happy with them ( she drives it 95% of the time ) will check them tomorrow. Just hoping I have built struts back up right as I did it from memory and it seemed straight forward might try and find an exploded diagram to double check though lol

Just realised I tightened the strut top nut tight before locking it off so I could have twisted spring around a bit :$ Long time since I played mechanic lol

They look to be , Im just wondering if they have twisted when I tightened the top mount I do tend to evertighten stuff !

Just replaced the springs on my 172 thought I had done them right however its fine when driving normally but when turning tight i.e parking I can hear the springs groaning and then turning on the shock under full lock I can even feel it on steering wheel. Have I done something wrong :$

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra WOW not a fan of kits and replicas but I'm really liking this a lot :)

My Mk1 172 has just failed its MOT this morning on a couple of faults which I sort but unsure on this one :S The hazard lights don't work when the ignition is off. Absolutely no probs with button - hazards turn on and off when it's pressed and the ignition is on, but nothing when the car is...
