Hello.

Looks concourse to me, brilliant example as a future classic. I used to be on e36 coupe forums myself.

Yeh but theyre never going to be anywhere near as good.

In that case i see your point.

lol not anymore.... saxo VTR

Nice change to see a decent original e36 not driven by a Kossovan with a Halfords spoiler on it. Had an e36 compact as my first car and always fancied a coupe. Always tempted when im over at auction but theyre too thirsty for me to run about in really.

So you spotted me in my robin reliant van loaded with clio parts.

wayyyy too much red. Needs standard grills and standard side mouldings. Although i think silver handles wouldn't have gone well on the red so probs a good call on colour coding them.

your brakes arnet assisted anywhere near as much as your mates will be, the Mk2 is heavily assisted thats the reason why his seem much sharper.

a severely seized one could theoretically. but you would know if a shock was that seized as the suspension wouldn't move on that corner whatsoever. Clios do tend to lean to one side slightly though.

Ive got a coil pack (ph1) no airbox im afraid, are there any trim bits you need?

ive got a pair available, you need to identify which one is at fault first. thanks josh

i would definitely re-bleed, see if it makes any difference. usually air makes them spongy rather than hard. just make sure you give the brake pedal a good push after starting the ignition.

Its only a metal gasket, i just used the same one, they don't wear like Card gaskets.

I had Koni adjustable shocks but found them very stiff even on the softest setting.

from a decent motorfactors 7 quid should get you a huge tin.(which should last forever), halfords do the big tins but they're pretty expensive from there. they also do a tube, only small for about 3 quid. apply a smear to where the caliper parts meet the back of the pads, and a small amount...

No problem mate im more than happy to have a look at it for you.

Clicking/Knocking is likely to be the CV joint. Is that what sort of noise it is?

yeh just don't let it near the engine cover as it will go into the coils. and steer clear of the fusebox. THen once your all done i just spray AG Viynl and rubber care all over, leave a few mins then wipe over with a rag. Stops metal getting oxidized and leaves all plastics black and protected.

have you bled your brakes recently? or changed the fluid at all?

its difficult to succesfully put a puncture repair kit on it as its hard to clean up the surface properly even with brake cleaner.

i would go and see renault about the vanity mirrors see if its on the spec sheet, see if you can get yourself one of those grills for free ;) car looks great, nothing like the smell of a new car.

is there anything to suggest it might be running rich?

Not just surface rust on the calipers? most pads need a little heat to be effective i usually find, but usually find even from very cold to have a good degree of stopping power.

have you checked how much difference it will make? 3 points sometimes makes little difference, particularly when they have nearly expired, or is it 6 points?

More like the ball joint, easy enough to do and check, if you want it checking ill do it for you only takes a couple of mins. And if you want it fitting its 30 min job really, very straightforward.

They make a grinding noise when theyre fudged sometimes. Theyre mega money from a dealer, but there are some on ebay or alternatively a breaker. Im having mine done on my puma runaround at the moment.

Ive got a pair of driveshafts (30 day warranty) Balljoints are dealer only part, they come only complete with the lower arms. Around 45 each if i recall correctly. Is the noise a constant clicking/knocking when moving on full lock?

not keen
