Right guys, posted this before buts its starting to affect my happiness now. Has anyone on here replaced their front shocks with brand new items from Renault lately? If so, can you please go out and push up and down on your wing and tell me does it make a loud piston noise? I have read about...

About 2000 miles ago bud

So, took it out tonight and utterly spanked the b****cks off the clio. not one fart ​ffs!

Thanks guys....gonna have a wee hoke under the bonnet tonight to check for the obvious ones ​A

I was thinking of pulling the plugs and looking at them, to check for soot..... so, if say it was an injector at fault, would i expect not to see fouling on a plug?

yeah....no fault shown on dash at all Running perfectly fine now :/

true mate Cheers ​A

And on a side note, any ni peeps with a spare coil pack for a borrow to help diagnose? ​J

Gotcha bud.....any NI peeps with an RSTuner or code reader that they could lend? Why oh why did i sell my RSTuner? FML j

Hey gang, have just managed to nurse my car home from work after it started misfiring on the motorway...... Couldn't take any load at all so just tickled it up to running speed in 3rd and gingerly avoided traffic etc till i got it in the garage This happened another night a while ago that i...

Discovered this while casually browsing exhausts for a Megane 225 (yes, I am thinking about it)

All here guys Cheers Andy

There we go......voice of knowledge. Might go and check if there is oil left in my gearbox :D J

I think....I could be wrong, but the gearbox breather is in there so the box could have been overfilled in the past, or it might still be and you will be getting a wee bit of overflow......or this is just standard fare....not sure....Could also be the crankcase breather. Does your blue inlet...

Hmm, they have offered to look at it and sort out the issue. They are really nice chaps you know. I am just concerned in case something is bucked and all this alignment is worthless :/ A

you forgot bucked car bud :/

But would that have affected the crackerjack values on the rear and would such a small wobble affect this? Just to be clear, the front face of the wheel doesn't move at all. Its the inside lip at the back of the wheel where spokes dont live that has a bit of action. A

I understand bud. Well, I looked at the passenger front left wheel and there is the very slightest wobble when its running free in first gear so I have put it on the back for now until i can get the tyre swapped onto the other wheel Tempted to put the above charts to the company who did the...

Renault.......sorry.

No mate.....the shocks were reno......top mounts/bearings were KYB......ball joints and tre's were lemforder and track rods were firstline. A

Not at all Michael

Feb_Alignment - before any suspension work Mar_Alignment - after shocks, top mounts, inner track rods, tre's, bottom ball joints Why is the camber so borked after the NEW suspension is fitted when one side in Feb was within tolerance? :S Why are the rear axle measurements so bad in Feb...

Hmm........something is amiss with wheel alignment results. :S I am scanning it now and will upload asap J

hah.....i can imagine bud :D J

No bud.....everything but those. FYI....ANY work on this suspension is utter ****. **** The inner track rods were a complete and utter s**te to do. :/

Yes bud, sorry......bit thick on that one. may do the jack it up and let wifey idle it in first to inspect for buckling. Would obv only see if it was big

Fair point Chip........i don't think so, but to prove it to myself (and you, cos i know you really do care man :D) I will do a wee swapsie with the rear. I have a spare 172 wheel in t'boot so if its that it could be a quick fix :D thanks guys, keep em coming A

I flipping left it at home. I only have the old one that was pre my suspension refresh so that probably wont help. Ill do it early evening and drop it up here. really appreciate everyone input here. I miss my feisty handling wee frog box :( J

Shat, sorry..not silly at all..that was the thing i meant to include but forgot as I see that as a biggie in this kind of situation. Yes, tyre pressures are on the money as far as I understand. Sitting around 32 front and 30 rear. J

Hmm.....well I have had it laz0r3D twice now and they have pointed out iffy camber and castor......but they didn't scream "your car is bucked" at me. If camber and castor is out, does this spell bendage? A
