either side of the poly for the front (gearbox) end of the mount

i've not, sorry. you can't miss them though - the two clamps that bolt the rack body to the subframe:)

it's worth checking the tightness of the steering rack mounting clamps

thump the bolt with a hammer and/or let the jack off a little, to disturb it

best bet is probably in spending a little time reading up on the differences in spec (don't forget the Ph1 172), then, if that hasn't already given a good idea of which you might prefer, drive a few examples of each

i'm sure mine didn't use much more than 0.5L when i did it last, but think the 'official' capacity's twice that

ah, right - can see the sheared metal in the pic now. that does seem v strange

it's just a buffer and is on a bracket, but you don't seem able to buy this bracket seperately (it comes with a new mount). should be fine to drive i'd have thought

sounds someone else/:)

bought this as well, but thought the article itself was a bit of a let down for the Clio. must be interesting to have your own car in a magazine though how old was guy who owned the Honda, if you met him? used to know someone of the same name who was into his cars

it's an anonymous looking bolt on the side of the thermostat housing. think there's a picture of it in the workshop manual it might be worth taking the expansion tank off/disconnecting bottom hose so that you can try to hose/scrub it out, rather than renew it

how much are 1144s? at that sort of money, think your options are limited to Mintex and EBC. you want something that works from cold on a roadcar, so that might exclude 1155 and defo excludes Redstuff (from experience!)

best bet's probably in whipping the current one off and taking it along to GSF/etc to compare with what they've got - as said, it's a very common caliper and has been used on the back (and front, in different configuration) of lots of Frenchies for 20+ yrs unless you buy new from Renault...

loads on that one, and disc looks normal

might be worth a search as i think there's something to do with the car not being type approved for towing; not sure of the real-world/practical legality of just doing it regardless

yep, using double ended studs, like headbolts

looks as though you're missing the bolts as well. could be worth firing up a wanted thread on here, as people take them off when tracking them for weight saving

there shouldn't be. are you positive they've bled properly?

obviously not, so far! this place does make me wonder about alot of things sometimes!

think most would suggest you've got them in the right order in your OP have a read of the difference in specs - weight, ABS, cable throttle, etc

i'd go for 1., and buy a spare set of springs off of here when they next crop up - they go for next to nothing and aren't difficult to fit if you need to revisit are those genuine parts you've been quoted for?

the bevelled inner circ faces inwards and the (slightly wider?) squared end faces out

christ; you'd have thought the safety car drivers would be super-mindful of where they are, but seems not:S

that's it - if you're using the steering controls, you need to hold in the button that you use to change between the digits, once you've put the final digit in

boombang, have you spent much time in the Clios yet? i came from a 205 (recognise you from the driver's forum actually) - the car i have now isn't as characterful imo - quite different to drive and needs thrashing before it provides a similar sense of involvement perhaps an irrelevant point if...

bit of a black art

don't think so

they're not going to be easy to fit as the OE ones aren't (just fiddly, really) seem to be conflicting views as to whether or not they're worth the expense/bother

blokes, sorry - think i've confused the issue with some of mine. it does make sense if you read the bulletin and compare that with what there is on the car (which i've gotten wrong i think; haven't looked for a while)

there's a picture of it in the bulletin - the solid lines from the front of the car go into it, and the rear flexi hoses come out of it. rear beam
