You again..
These cars always sag at that point, but it's not just sagging straight down, it's partly twisting from the rear.. You need to take the strain off the back box, then the 2 Middle sections and clamp the fker back up...
What you really need is a to do is make a new hanger at that...
At any mileage... There is no longer any saving in diesels.. Mines trashed me for £1200 in less than 8000 miles, does no more than 45mpg and is currently on the drive with no fuel tank as its drawing in air to the lines.. Another £200
I've been trawling the internet finding nothing but more...
The Clio 172-182 isn't a very problematic car and there isn't anything I'd say has a high failure rate..
It's more your tyres, clutch, cambelt interval, brakes, exhaust condition etc that need checking when your looking..
Normal stuff.
Avoid all new diesels from 2004, the emission laws and changes to the engines are completely fking up anything that made them value for money..
Dpf problems are a daily problem for all brands, then there's dmfs, egr's, engines getting blocked with sh1t and that's not including the normal £1000...
Years ago head work was all the rage on here and angel tuning? Was waxing lyrical about head work like there's no tomorrow.. It seems all that the guys mad for it have left as no one cares anymore, or got wise.
I've seen many a guy have his head worked on and I'm not talking about p**n... Perhaps it's because I'm into head gasket blowing Renault 5's, but when the heads warp, crack, get smashed by a dropped valve, all that hard work and money's gone up in smoke..
With a turbo set up, you can rebuilt...
The problem is on a N/A car, one mod alone doesn't do a lot, you need everything and a propper map to really get the full performance from each upgrade...
At that point you'll have an engine in the classifieds for £2700 and everyone will laugh and think I can get a whole car for that, or 12...
Crack it off while it's on the ground, or jam a screw driver in the brake disc and it'll lock it off while you give it some whammy..
Worst bits the bottom ball joint, a lever bar, crow bar sorts it.
Don't hit the track rod end to free it, whack the side of it (the hub) to shock it free.

I think these are like my gtt ones, with the sliding lock with pin and the springs?
My slider was rusted, worn pitted and the spring had no life in them, no sooner had I put the pads in I could wiggle them back out effortlessly..
I got a new fitting kit, problem solved.
I drive it for 6 months if I had too.. You've paid you insurance, you should be covered..
Bash for cash I hate, but i couldn't hate anyone for being cheeky in this case.. It's fair..
There are some many things people do to cars that make them look sh1t..
This isn't one of them... I sat with brake cleaner and engine degreaser on the Clio the other week and it still looked poopy.. This looks like an OE looking solution..
The top bit looks pukka... The lower might have had...
I've always found a good quality head unit can make oe speakers improve..
Then I add a sub/and and cut out the bass from the rest on the speakers.. If needed I'll upgrade them to alpine or something..
I don't mega loud and find the car, doors, dash etc will trash sound quality anyway.. I...
If you walk in off the street for a balance they might charge £12 just for 1 wheel.. Punctures often round my way we're £17 standard and going u with the size of your wheel 19" = £19..
Yes, they take the pee pee.. Most will slap 4 tyres on for £20-30 if friendly..
