2 quick questions, Do the Clio engines run Balance Shafts? Is the Fly Wheel a Dual Mass or a Solid ?

Nope, that was all done at BlackBoots over in Chesham who are very highly regarded so Im happy thats all ok (I had it adjusted from the last time they did it as i asked them to dial in some camber and was munching tyres every few Thousand miles :))

LOL Apart from being very difficult to replace like for like with mine being a silver one, but your right! The cars get under your skin though and bang for buck there is little out there as good as the cup IMO I think ill end up being buried when I die in mine. I just liken it to the other...

The mounts had been on for a good 4 months before the issue started, and they have been taken off and checked as part of the process of solving this issue, so all appear to be ok there :)

I am at the stage where i think pretty much everything has been checked / replaced that could cause the issue now, Ill check and see if the hubs were checked for Wear but I am sure they will have been, i have full confidence in the garage its in :) Really all that is left (Bar confirming the...

Would hub Wear not show up when the car was up on the ramp being run up to speed? Also would it not be apparent at any speed even when not accelerating.

Unfortunately not as simple as that... My moneys on it being Diff related now, just priced a new box from Renault at £863+ VAT Ouch! A rebuild of a 'old' box is possible, but I'm not sure its worth the risk as a rebuild wont involve replacing the Diff.

Hi Dave ;) Not Top mounts as I have those AST Solid ones on and there is no movement in them :)

Normally - No you cant Happened suddenly, out for the day driving normally, dropped the Mrs off and went into 'Just me driving mode' and the wobble was there! Well I am about to bite the bullet and stick a new Box in, for the love of god I hope it fixes the issue!

Yes... 100% sure, they were double checked :) - Just incase people are reading the above incorrectly.... The issue was there BEFORE the shafts were fitted. The shafts were only fitted to try and resolve the issue - They didn't!

All In hand, but everyone so far is stumped, Even Renault dealer has looked and cant find anything! (Although I suspect they didnt try very hard)

New New AFAIK Renault have stopped doing the Exchange ones.... Issue was exactly the same before and after the shafts were done.

I would think a trackrod going would create an issue constantly rather than only when under load. I forgot to mention the car has 2 x new Ball Joints fitted when it was MOT'ed in Feb 11.

Yes, Drive shafts supplied through Main Dealer.

Symptoms: Driving 'normally' the car is fine, not one issue. As soon as you put your foot down to accelerate the whole car shakes, it feels the wheel on the nearside front is badly unbalanced, however the car has been checked and the wheels are all balanced fine. Now the vibration is only...

Well the Clutch didnt help :( List of checks so far: Engine Mounts - All Ok Both Drive Shafts - All Ok Wheel Balance - All Ok Brake Rotas - All Ok Clutch - New Fly Wheel - Visually all ok and all Dowls Present Anyone got any other ideas? Its Torque related thats all we know !

I have not used a bad product from gtechniq yet! The Alloy wheel Sealent (C5) and the Bodywork Sealent (C2) are amazingly good!

RS1600i's and that MK3 Gartrack give me wood!

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Not long now.... Your gonna beat me to having yours fitted! My car is still down at JMS :(

Looking really good Tom, engine look so neat.

Gallys head has just Exploded!

195/50/15's on mine to! Cant help you with your other question by PM though :(

Off the top of my head very little (it's on 6 month old uprated mounts I purchased from ktec) The whole car is massively shaking when you accelerate from 50mph up! I have faith in JMS it's just proving to be very odd and not a simple easy to spot issue I hoped it was :(

It was more to see if the Vibration was there.... It wasnt LOL So shafts fitted and test driven Wheels balance checked Disk balance check Test Driven inbetween and still shakes more than a Crack Addict looking for his next fix :( Just waiting for an update on the Clutch to see if thats...

You have PM

Looks Much better - Still not feeling tghe Yellow!

Ill check with the JMS Boys and see :) Might be worth noting that the vibration can only be felt when the wheels are under load, as the car has been run up to 90mph on the ramps and the car does not vibrate !

99% Sure its not this as the Vibration is linked to something rotating.

Well still not got to the bottom of this, so far have ruled out the following- Nearside driveshaft Offside driveshaft Wheels have been balanced Discs have been balanced New clutch going in tomorrow to see if that helps. Properly loosing heart for the car now and unless the issue can be found...

Clutch going in Monday. If that don't solve it I'm pretty close to giving up and breaking the car.
