Just cleaning up a caliper before I put it back on the car, is there any way for me to wind the caliper piston out as far as possible for me to clean it? I haven't got any hoses connected but it still seems to be pretty well stuck in :(

only 2 or 3 but the ones I always get the rubber is a bit perished and cracked etc :( have u got ne lying around?

Just need the rubber bits that go on the sliders... re-seal kits cost an arm and a leg don't they? Surely some where must sell them cheap, they only cost about 10p to make??

Re: Veyron Crash ^ He probably owns the insurance company

Very common problem re the blower, usually the resistor plug by the blower, try giving it a wiggle first of all otherwise take it off its probably melted/rusted etc.

Renault charge an arm and a leg for driveshafts so I would do a ring round to be honest.

:o didn't realise it was electronic throttle!

I think the reason behind this is either your foot is very slightly still on the 'gas' when you dip the clutch or your accel. cable is sticking slightly so there is a delay between taking your foot off the pedal and the throttle cable releasing completely. Hence when you dip the clutch the...

If you have any then its a good idea to put some copper grease on the back of the new disc where it meets the hub so it won't stick again.

If its anything like the drivers side driveshaft on the valver then its a total pain in the ass to change that boot. I ended up just changing the whole shaft :(

Is that a bottomless pit? lol

Just sent my 3 phone off for repair and I still have my old K750i but it won't work with my 3 sim as its locked for orange I think... can I download software to unlock it or anything?

Lol no although haynes says you should use a 'sealing compound' I think thats mainly to stop s**t getting in though, you just hammer it back in again.

Just replaced the shaft on my valver earlier, need a 5mm punch and can re-use the old item. There is only one pin and its on the drivers side shaft.

Thing is im taking the boot off and putting it back on again so I won't have those circlips that normally come with boot kits, where can I buy them seperate?

Rather than using those gay circlip-type-jobs would there be any problems using a jubilee clip on the ends of the boots? or would it be better to use big cable ties?

hmm anyone who gets more than 30mpg from a renaultsport isn't driving it right.

Isn't it illegal to lie about a car not being a CAT D?

drive shaft needs to come off for nearside inner so thats going to include draining gbox oil and refilling not sure if the shaft has to come off for the other side but 1.5hrs doesnt sound 2 bad.

If you buy a 'clutch kit' which is what most people do, it will contain a pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing.

Could try craig he's in Swansea he charges around £230 inc clutch: http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=144 Did my gearbox last month, gd job and great price! EDIT: quite a way from exeter though, could try Mr.Clutch?

1.8 16v aka valvers are the best anyway ;)

Or could be a non-genuine clutch cable, most common reason for excessively heavy clutch.

Cant see the tyres on the rear of my valver lol

1. could mean low on brake fluid I would check tht asap or low pads (but doubt the sensors are connected as they never are) 2. V common problem, normally the heater resistor pack, easy fix either get one from a scrappy or renault for around £30, wipers/scuttle panel/wiper motor off and then...

Exactly :S

Is that carbon skin over an original bonnet? or actual carbon ie alot lighter?

Looks ok imo if the wheels were 1" bigger, then lowered with good sus. and tuned engine... i think i would!

If you have a read of this guide: http://www.retro-renault.com/forums/engine-mechanical/44-nearside-outer-cv-gaiter-replacement.html It will give you a good idea of what it would involve obv its for passenger side so you won't have to drain the oil. EDIT: obv thats for older renaults...
