secondhand might be your best bet, as new springs are £100+ea from Renault. or one of these aftermarket sets

people make mistakes - just part&parcel of racing at a level like that stolen from elsewhere, but haven't seen these posted (?) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm4CuWYarOE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi8iDIg5XfU watch the first one, and then the in-car vid (second one) - driver's got...

they're dirt cheap, MGFs, now. RWD as well, but rust seems to be a problem on some

are you trying to convert them to a spring catch fitting for eyebolts? don't think you can if so

^yeah, that can happen presumably you need a 21w/5w twin filament bulb - get them anywhere:)

did you fit new dampers and springs, or used ones?

considering the thousands of hours of use it must have had, doesn't look too shabby at all really seems a real bargain - hope it looks after you once you've been through it:)

not all that keen on private plates anyway, but that's not a good look, really i remember once having to drive around in a go-between car (Primrose Yellow Austin Mini.. bad enough already..) that i foolishly agreed to allow my dad to transfer one of his plates onto (A1 WUF, play on the family...

isn't that the bleed screw? you'd have to reverse flush through it, and you'd be there forever

only skimmed, but have you now bought it? defo want to go and have a good look at it first - looks OK in the pictures and might be a bargain, but could equally be a bin. think you'd expect to have to budget on mechanicals, but it's the body and the interior i'd be thinking about - esp. if...

just had a quick look in this (p110 onwards), and there's no mention of a block drain http://www.fastchip.nl/media/doc/clio2/F4R_730.pdf guess someone will advise if there is one

don't know, but you can flush the block by removing the thermostat

that's the order i did mine in - battery/ecu/pt/ecu/battery

nice one. serious lack of this sort of thing is posted on here, which is surprising given the car

sounds like a problem with the piston or the handbrake arm. whip pads out, carefully spray WD/etc behind the piston dustcover, wind in and carefully pump out repeatedly until it's free. make sure the handbrake arm moves smoothly through entire range of travel; take the boot off to clean and...

part number for the outers is 7700784171 (about £15/pair). can't find the number for the inner bushes i'd be asking for rollbar bushes, but not sure what Renault call them. best thing is to ask them to call it up on their screen so that you can make sure they look like the bushes in the...

v easy to remove - pull out/disconnect the ashtray/lighter, then the tray they sit in; pull out the 'leather' gear stick surround, then there's a clip either side of the moulding (in the footwell) and a velcro square infront of the gear stick - basically, all just pulls apart

from sideways danny, you've got the wrong part? sounds as though they're for the non RS cars. you need the bushes :) they're a bit fiddly to change (as mentioned earlier) - just requires patience

sounds as though you might have a PAS fluid problem as well. top it up and make sure it doesn't drop at all. mine was dropping and didn't show signs of external leaks - the seals in the rack had failed and the o/s steering gaiter had filled with PAS fluid (one to check) - need a...

sounds like two problems - the creaking's 'probably' the top mounts (common problem), but not sure about the diving (maybe dampers?). any evidence of leaks from the dampers? i'd go for a new set of top mounts and, whilst the struts are off, check the dampers for resistance/travel

picture from someone's for sale thread on here - guess you've got that part in the middle, but don't recognise it. sorry about this - not helping. someone who knows what they're talking about should be able to help:o

^those are the 172/182 outer bushes ^that looks like the inner bush (not a Clio bush - just an example)

i'm still not getting it, as the arb bush components are just rubber bushes with clamps and nuts/bolts - sorry if it's me, but your description doesn't sound similar maybe the Trophy does have a different bar after all?

apart from where you put them, you just need to make sure the stands are OK and use solid, level ground it's a good idea to leave something (spare wheels/wood blocks/etc) underneath the floor, just incase some idiot decides to try and push it over in the night (unless you're using a...

now i'm confused. sorry

sounds like a droplink(ish)! the bushes are just lumps of rubber not familiar with the Trophy, but if it has the same rollbar as the others, you've been given the wrong part/s

unless the Trophy has a different rollbar arrangement to the rest of the RS2 range (?), there shouldn't be droplinks - you've got inner bushes and outer bushes, which are clamped to the bottom arms the inner bushes are a bit of a pain as you need to be able to compress them to get the clamp...

gah! it's different to the sh*te Ph2 wheel looks fine though

not sure it's a particularly common problem, but it does seem to be a known weakness lucky you if they'll sort it on warranty - definitely have a go at that

take the airbox out for more room and carefully start it with hammer/screwdriver if you need to
