Rad fan kicks in ok and temp never ever goes up high. No smoke or steam from exhaust and no visable oil in water More confused lol

Not sure of my problem then, ill change the cap anyway to be safe. The radiator is fairly new as in 3 or 4 months old and hoses all seem fine. Recently had cambelt & waterpump changed, coolant seems to go down 1cm over a couple of days, not sure how much the mechanic refilled after the waterpump...

Job done, refilled with cv grease and recliped, Nice easy job too.

Hi guys, After a run I opened bonnet to check a few things and noticed a slight hissing noise from my expansion cap, Im guessing the seal is knackered, I know these are dead cheap but I have one or two questions, Could this be a reason for coolant level going slowly down? Also could the...

LOL yeah far too cheap, id torch the car just to be safe

Oh my god. the guy is happy with what he's had done, can't believe people are still banging on about it

Im in surrey, was hoping to have a go at it tomorrow aswell

ok cool, its just a case of getting the right jubilee clip now with the grease, I'll take the old clip with me on the hunt for a jubilee

2nd and 3rd sound reasonable??

Yeah just had 3 quotes from garages 1. £270 dont think so 2. £140 3. £100 ALL if we supply parts ( Buying from GSF )

Right jacked up each side one by one, rears seem fine no play or noise, front had a fair bit of play in both sides. Change front then I reckon. What would we be looking at as a guide for a garage to do the front both sides if we supplied the parts? cheers guys

Just phoned GSF and he cannot confirm which one of these two is the one for my car. Any ideas?? The car is a 1995 1.4 RT 1) R45014CV BOOT KIT-OUTER CLIO 1.2 /1.4 76MM 6.90 Add 2) R45024CV BOOT KIT-OUTER CLIO 1.1/1.4/1.8 THERMOPLASTIC OUTER 7.50 Add

cheers mate, ill have a look, was going to get the stuff from halfords but prob going to try the kit from gsf for the sake of 7 quid, you get the clip and the grease

Im going to remove the wheel to do it, sure it can be done without removing the shock??

is it easy to move the boot back and fill it with the grease??

cool, just need to work out what size jubilee clip will work best on my car??

anyone??, going to get the stuff tomorrow hopefully

Just cable tied it for now, the cv boot kit is about £7.50 from gsf so going to get that I reckon. From reading other posts people seem to say that a nice strong jubilee clip will be better than the clip supplied The clip was the only thing that failed, but if its not too hard I could change...

as a fair bit of grease has come out is it best to remove wheel and give it all a good clean up and pack with grease too?? What type of grease will I need? and what size jubilee clip would work?? Thanks

sigh.... Just to add another problem to my list, it seems that my drivers side cv gaiter clip has come loose or broken and grease has gone all over the inside of the wheel and near the joint, the gaiter doesnt seem to be split and on further inspection we found the clip could be moved by hand...

I work in an engineering factory, I can get hold of any socket whatsoever or torque wrench

No they have to moan as they paid £500 for a cam belt change!

sunroof rattle was the only thing that used to annoy me

could be a dirty or loose connection within the airbag circuit, a diognostic plug in would be quickest way to work it all out

oh right cool, dont think ill be doing the front myself if it needs doing, I can do the rears as i can press the bearings at work

yeah going to phone renault in the morning to get a price, will prob call gsf aswell to see if its alot cheaper whats a rough price that you guys have paid??

Why is the front harder?

right ok, is this easy? what stuff do I need to use to do it? sorry for all the questions but im a noob with cars
