    Is this a coincidence??

    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

    190,000 miles...?

    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?

    Tyres Advice?

    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

    Harness mounting points to pass an MOT

    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...

    Poor radio reception since aftermarket HU fitted ..

    i had a brand new Alpine in mine briefly and swapped it back for the std head unit, partly because it didn't seem to have as good a tuner

    What people thoughts on this?

    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

    Handbrake has gone loose!

    sounds as though the cable's snapped that side. try pulling the cable end with pliers, which'll confirm

    Best place for Rear shocks, Rear discs and Pads

    i've ended up buying a pair of Bendix discs/bearings from GSF for about £50, which might be another possibility

    Best place for Rear shocks, Rear discs and Pads

    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...

    Steering rack bushes - play?

    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...

    Carbon Lorraine rc5+, not happy

    oh dear. just about to buy some of these as Inferno, what was the age/mileage out of them?

    Steering rack bushes - play?

    for the SMI rack, i used 7701470760, but i'd check that against your reg as there's more than one rack they were £20 each and you need 2

    braided front lines but not back, problem?

    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

    Hate my clio...FAILED MOT

    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

    Hate my clio...FAILED MOT

    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

    Hate my clio...FAILED MOT

    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

    Steering rack bushes - play?

    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

    Please identify these pads HELP!

    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

    Please identify these pads HELP!

    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...

    Please identify these pads HELP!

    just go by how stiff they feel - start with the softest, as it'll have the least 'cut'

    Catastrophic failure of my harness!

    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
