And the last day of the year.

He says £800 more to insure than his last 1.2. So that makes it about £2000 at a guess. Enjoy your 197 Bux, must be Xmas present to yourself.

Yeah! Toooooo much, think off £2k and maybe a bit.

Worth looking at if it is nearby. The cambelt should be about £250 by a Renault specialist if no a/c. It will need other bits replacing due to it's age though. Take it all into consideration.

Sure it's not the clutch cable that has seen better days?

No Top marked. As said previously the Eibach name and part no. should be readable looking down on them.

Have a look at them when you buy them or ask the parts man. And buy the ones with the wheel bearing already fitted, the chances are they will need doing as well. OE's are plenty good enough.

The oe rears on mine when I bought it were well low, you could really notice some excess negative camber, hence when I fitted the Prolines the back went up a bit. After 5 months of fitting them the height from ground to highest point of the arch is 610mm. at the front and 600mm. at the rear. A...

The idea of adjustable shocks is you can play around with them to get them just right for you, thats the idea. For me though i would be having them harder at the front as my Cup is very light at the back and twiches a bit on fast cornering, making the shocks softer helps for me. Have a...

The amber light is to warn of emmisions failures/faults and is not fatal to the engine. Mine comes on occasionally when de-celerating at speed, and I think it is because of overfuelling. You may find come MOT time that it will fail the emmisions test. Don't worry about it till then if...

The Sportline or Proline will be ok for you and they are designed for oe shocks. I'm up to 89k miles and on oe shocks with the Prolines, I will change the shocks when they shot. Coilovers are substantially more expensive. As for changing them at the same time, it don't matter, they are easy...

What car do you have? it's a vague question. Usually just the pads and the discs, a can of brake cleaner will help degreasing.

The red engine light orthe amber one on the right hand side of the dash?

Renault mechanic, silly me, you'll change it all inside an hour then. Ps. Why are the rear shocks a common failure?

You are probably familiar with the crashy ride over holes and bumps in the road on the standard springs. The Eibachs are progressively coiled, ie. closer at the bottom so they give a little over holes in the road , but stiffen on corners nicely to give a flat ride. I sound like Eibach...

Just giving you something to mull over. Hopefully you'll be changing the suspension yourself, in which case it's easy to do. Buy the Springs on the for sale forum, they are only £70-£80. If you find that they are not what you expected you can go for Prolines and be changing them over in...

The Sportlines will lower your car more than the Prolines and will have a softer ride, as yours is heavier than the Cup 172/182, Are you sure that is what you want on track.

Can you see what you want?

Taken from the top of the engine bay and looking from the offside. The fixing screw is at the top of the clip, you can just see the shiny head.

Yep, He'll be scraping the the front bumper on the floor on fast corners.

Konis- Yes Camber bolts- Yes Sportlines -No, go for the Prolines, especially in you are going on track.

Oh dear thats bad luck, what went wrong?

Yes, only on Homestart.

Which one? I'll out bid you :rasp:

Have alook at these people http://www.broadspeed.com/new_cars/Renault/Clio/25084/2_0_VVT_Renaultsport_200_3_door# They are genuine and have been around a long time.

You can only do it online if you have the tax renewal notice. If not sit tight and wait for your ins. certificate and renew the tax at the PO.

Have you checked that nothing else electrical is left switched on when the car is parked up?

The OE top mounts are not bolted in to the car, the weight of the front of the car just holds the struts in place. After you have renewed yer bearings and mounts allow a couple of hundred miles for the rubber mounts to wedge themselves back into to the turrets and settle. then have your...

Dot 4 or 5 but a quality fluid, Castrol, CL, ATE blue, Motul should suffice.

Yep, front looks higher than the back, normal. Go Eibach Pros, much better ride and a bit lower at the front. the rear will be a bit higher though.
