it's entirely possible it's directly related, but would have said the exhaust was well on its way before it finally went anyway
engine mounts and exhausts are rubbish in OE guise, so at least they've both been&gone now
it's hard work looking after a car, taking it to that kind of mileage (or it should be, if it's done properly). you can't compare circa 200k to circa 100k!
is it that one in the link?
i've recently put 205/45s on mine and the difference in height in the sidewall is noticeable over 195/45s
ed. what are you actually trying to achieve?:)
they look alright to me
to the rear seat belt anchorage in the seat base (need to take the rear belt and seat base out; if the seat base is there, it'll fail as you've no seat belt for it). not sure what they'd make of attachment to the isofix bar? might be ok
or just put the inertia reel back in so you don't have to...
i'd not be put off by the mileage; it's 8 years old
providing it's not been abused and has been looked after, shouldn't be any more of a risk than any other imo
shopping for these at the moment as well; there are some cheapies on ebay, but some of them look 'too cheap', if you know what i mean
has anyone had these...
don't think it does - random parts assignment! it'll be a hydraulic rack, of which there are four different. they may well all have the same mounting bushes though - just check with Renault on their parts computer when you go in:)
ed. if it's still there, the sticker on the bottom of the rack...
the rears pass through the compensator block before they reach the hoses, so won't introduce any weak link
i'd do the rears as well myself, just for the sakes of completeness vs. £25
have you any ticket left on last year's MoT? i thought you could get away with driving on that, but it's probably changed with this new system they've put in
i'm not familiar with them, but presume that's all you need. you likely need a press to put them on though, so i'd take it to a garage for a cheapy if you're going to take the disc off yourself. need a 175Nm torque wrench to do the hub nut back up
loads of cheap, decent tyres about
try this with the front brakes: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=483236
i'm only guessing the rear bearings might be sold separately - someone would have to confirm. there's another thread on the go at the moment about cheapest place for rear discs if you end up needing them
the rack's moving an inch in the bushes?
there shouldn't be any movement at all
have you tried tightening the clamps? new bushes are expensive for some reason
MachineMart sell a selection of velcro backed pads for less than a fiver each. the orange ones 6"x25mm have done me well, although i'm not at all into this sort of thing
you can id Menz pads easily as they're 5", not 6"
that orange one - if it's 6", it could be the 'ultimate compounding' pad that someone sells for twice as much as you can buy them from MachineMart for:quiet:
tbh, you can buy stuff that looks identical to well known brands from unbranded...
were they threaded like that as they arrived though?
just on the face of it, those buckles are either sub-standard, or the belts were threaded dangerously? i wouldn't want to either use the same belt, or pay for replacement personally
