If it's grey/dark smoke and you particular notice it when you put your toe down, I'd be very inclined to say EGR valve. Should be a relatively easy job to do yourself, if it's accessible.

Three of them have seized solid. Bought some second hand carriers, but came without pins. @MarcR, can you remember how much Renault wanted?

Christ, does that have any springs in the front? Also, leaning into the corner doesn't make it go any faster ;)

Bought some caliper rebuild kits from Bigg Red, no problem with anything, other than the front slider pins. They've sent 4 new ones and have confirmed I've got the right part, but they are vastly different to original (not even the same shape), offer far less travel and stick out from the...

Hi.

Try to explain the problem again in a bit more detail? Your inital post didn't seem to make much sense...

Where are all the PC guys with their usual ridiculous hi-res screenshots? I've bought this on the basis of this thread, so hoping it'll be a good 'un :)

I've never actually wanked over a game (other than Leisure Suit Larry). Can't wait for this.

What was the charge in the battery like when it wouldn't start? Could it have drained overnight? Have you checked the earthing straps for a loose connection? They're all the things I'd be checking first. Get the car back from Renault before they change things (fuel pump) that they don't need to.

Oh, and it looks a b*****d of a job.

See here for a workshop manual. It looks like you could do it on the car, if you can get the puller in. http://www.r21club.com/download/r21organes/prevodovka2_ang.pdf

It's better to get the whole lot balanced, my local engineering place charge £150+vat for full bottom end balancing. Obviously you need to do the removal yourself ;)

Nice one, I'm only over near Thirsk :)

Where's TOPO? :o

I was hoping to come up, but car will still be off the road and there's no way I'm turning up in the Mondeo ;)

Can anyone recommend any good Wii games? Had mine since launch and only really had sports/fit and Mario kart. Anything else worth playing?

£62.50 each at Camskill for a 16" for the Unis.

Have you ruled out the knocking being something fouling bodywork, such as exhuast or heatshields?

Black smoke will be EGR. I did the EGR on my old Mondeo and you could hardly see a hole through the pipe because of all the gunge.
