I saw you on Temple Way, tried to acknowledge you with a little wave, but was pushing my kids in the pushchair so thought I looked a loser :D

Yeah, they are wrong, they are only £44 each from Renault Wolverampton for the right ones each.

Wishbone has different position bolt holes for ball joint plus there is a difference in the turini wheel and possiblely the subframe

I've seen people mention that the pms bearings can dry out

172 Cup shocks don't fit 182 Cup hubs, the bolt spacing is different.

@Cub. Thanks for the help. I've just gone ahead and purchased them.

You can

Waved to you in the traffic this morning, you probably didn't realise as I was driving a Vauxhall Astra!

As above, the hub spacing is different on the 182 Cup. The 182 shares the same hubs as the rest of the 172/182 range

If I go for the PMS top mounts and Bilsteins, do I need to retain anything from my current set up? I assume they are all swapped out. Thanks

Follow this http://www.cliosport.net/threads/fitting-vibratechnics-engine-mounts.679303/ the car shouldn't feel like it is vibrating

Sorry @Cub. I meant is the difference that noticeable over the standard items to make it worth me selling the bits on there at the moment. I'm sure the upgrade from standard shocks is worth it. Just 12 months ago, this was meant to be a cheap track/road car, now it's got a quaife and its...

Thought about fitting it all myself, got some quotes from the Specialists and decided it was best to send it off to Beaniesport as they are local and could fit it in this week. I remember the other jobs taking so long and I've been really enjoying the car lately. Decided to change the rack...

Sorry, actually thinking of it. It's the one on the shock itself not the top nut. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Renault-Clio-2-0-16V-172-182-Shock-Absorber-Top-Mount-Spacer-Nut-/181260350888?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&fits=Model:Clio&hash=item2a33f575a8 That is the revised part. I think it is...

Renault have changed that nut to stop knocking

VOSA expect there to be as little as 10kg of pressure on the rear brakes. If there was no effort, then you'd have very knackered rear discs. What you have done is taken out the one safety device on the rear brakes, this could cause you to lock the rears.

Why not just take the VOSA bulletin?

How did you fix a Cup's poor rear braking effort?

I've currently got new cup shocks, top mounts & Cooksports that have done 1000 miles. Is the difference worth taking this all off?

Do them one at a time. If fitting an evol dogbone follow this With the mount in hand, the arrow sticker on the bar must be positioned towards the front of the vehicle & pointing up. For best results, do not over tighten the mount bolts, treat them as if you are tightening a sump plug...

Do you use them with solid top mounts?

Is it worth going for Bilstein B14 & PMS top mounts for the odd trackday, fast road use. Car isn't used as a daily

You've overtightened it. It only needs nipping up, it shouldn't vibrate. OP - When you do the gearbox mount, I tapped mine down over the gearbox spindle using a socket.

No. You may find an rs tuner remap improves the car a little

I agree with Danny, I've got all three solid and the car doesn't vibrate. One bit of plastic around the window does at idle but that is all.

I'm considering upgrading to Bilsteins, I've got new Renault top mounts with the new spacer, new cup shocks and cooksports. Let me know if you fancy a deal

Do the powerflex bushes still need welding in place?

We've got an Octavia Estate coming at some point to replace the Astra, it was ordered in January! Think that they are perfect family cars. Can't see what'll come after the Clio, can't bring myself to face the possible bills that something more special may bring. Guess I'm a tight northerner!

Box & shifter arrived yesterday via sister courier from the (her words) "lovely guy" @Ph1 Tom Will spend next weekend, ripping it apart, again.
