No wheels on yet bud.

Aww dung. Dot isn't in centre of mine but surely I cant be that much out as nothing was spun

wheel didnt turn as it was locked on the key lock throughout the only thing that can have moved is the rack and only by about half a turn at most either way unless i went full special the problem with CLIP, is that i dont actually know of anyone in northern ireland at all who has it

Right.....here we go. Not sure if the odds are with me here. I turned the rack the direction against where I think it might have moved. Guessing as I tried so hard not to hit the tre's etc. Anyway, bolted the subframe. Tightened the pinch bolt and pulled the airbag and cowling. I don't have...

There wont be a next time bud.....hopefully. I also did have them tie wrapped, real tight too :/ So this is now kinda blocking me from getting this done. What do I do? Just assume it rotated one turn one way (best guess) and go for the build then check the little levels on the steering angle...

That's the thing fella. I'm fairly sure the rack moved as the recess for the pinch bolt (in the column shaft) is facing the wrong way. How can I work this out while the car is still apart

So....this is depressing. Easing the subframe back up after being super careful to not move the wheel or the rack......well.....looks like I have managed to do just that ffs :( Steering wheel was on lock so it wasnt that but noticed when the rack end slid into the joint that the little recess...

Eugh..... right.....i need help and @hipwell my issue looka similar to this. despite all of my best efforts......when putting the sub frame back on I have moved something....must have been the rack itself yet I have no idea how. So given the subframe is still loose what is the best way to deal...

I did that as the replacement didn't had the oily, hangy, dangly thing that goes into the linkage

Had this exact same thing. New discs about a 2 years or so before and caliper was dragging ever so slightly for a while and was put on the "to do" list for too long. No doubt the disc was ACTUALLY beetroot coloured most of the time.

He did bud. And i fiddled to get the other bit one (with the boot) and now its not although I am fairly sure I can get it there again so I hope that will help. I think it was roughly in the middle of back and forth movement and push it into the box and then towards the bulkhead side, right? And...

Ok. Mr @NorthloopCup furnished me with one of his lovely rebuilds so starting the process of getting that in. New clutch in and have noticed that pedal is still creaking ruling out the clutch/release bearing etc so it simply has to be the clutch cable but I just cannot budget for that right now...

Well.......with the old clutch it was a brutally creaky affair.........not sure if that was down to the clutch alone Still worth it?

Also, can anyone confirm the correct clutch for this car? This is the one that was on it... renault code and green springs so I am assuming valeo oem?

Wow. I am so unfit......lol Finally got the box out. Clutch looks fine but will be replaced. Strange wear on springs......normal? I gather it makes sense to throw in a clutch cable at this stage as well? What about this flywheel? Not looking perfection nor a track car but in days gone by...

Right guys......currently weighing up what I would be up against to swap this box by taking a shiney refurbished item from mr @NorthloopCup. Financial decision mainly atm but i am just trying to get everything straight in my head. I have limited room to work (have to work out how to get it up...

If it is like the 172 engine, that will be one of those mass damper crank pulleys that separate the core and outer with rubber This perishes and the inner and outer spin separately and can sometimes squeal.....worst case is the outer will come off and everything under the bonnet will become...

Yeah, this was it. video There is no play in the arb, joints, top mounts, rack ends, rack bushes I also had a little look (briefly) at the inner tripod of the shaft and i see no damage or missing pin bearings etc and the outer certainly feels tight

One query. I was of the opinion that the 182 style diff setup was supposed to be more robust than the 172........is this a normal failure as far as you guys are concerned? @NorthloopCup when you build these, do you use this 4 bolt system or do you use the renfort plate with more bolts? I...

At least it rules out the quick fix though.....glad I was able to get at it today.

Standard box

Found one in the driveshaft boot

Stock renault I guess

Remember that pesky circlip guys? Wthjf? And yeah, no sign of the screw heads :/

Thanks dude

Thanks bud.

Rodger that buddy. I still owe you some help checking timing etc. Not forgotten;)

So just to confirm. Will I be able to visibly see if the circlip has shat itself or is there a quick test to prove so? Can I try and shunt the shaft in or anything to knock the diff and see if it picks up drive again This would also help me get it in the garage as I cannot do work on it where...

So mine had no speed sensor......ph2 172......I take it no difference going to a 182 box or anything

Ok buddy. If you could PM me a price I can throw that into the mix here as my head is a mess right now. Cheers bud.
