Okay, thanks. Full column it is then.

Just looking at other parts I need for this. do I need a full column like this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-ELECTRIC-STEERING-COLUMN-CONTROL-UNIT-1998-2006-GMV-/151011980744?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item232903f5c8 Or just a top bit and fit...

There are a few about. And like you said loads on site at Gaydon!

Sounds like it is going well. I just bout one of the racks with the part number you used off ebay. It's brand new, delivered for £53. Hope it's the right one!!

Im not disagreeing but it happens. And they are tuneable. It's not that stupid tho as you can vary the rate of them in the same way you tune a car by varying the rate of the spring you vary the rate or hardness of the bump stop.

for some OEM's they are classed as a tuneable item. The way they behave when you contact them is very important. It can lead to sudden changes in handling balance of the vehicle if the change is too abrupt or at the wrong place in the suspension travel. Some cars will run as standard only a few...

​they have a massive effect on handling in some cars.

I would agree with this. If AC is not important then it would be a 172 cup for me personaly. Also I personally would avoid the 182 Cup if I knew I was going to be mod'ing the suspension as I think there is less suspension coil over options available for 182 Cup / Cup packed vehicles.

Nah, Ferraris never catch fire.

Please could you do a guide with pics and part numbers etc. I know this thread is kinda doing this already but if you could then put it into the guide section with pics and issues / tips that would be fantastic.

My opinion would be that making it very low has put extra stress on something that is causing it. From what you have said you seem to be able to see the movement when you have the car on stands / a ramp. Sounds like driveshaft to me, but you have changed that so it's a tough one. I would do...

Is the car modified? Is it slammed?

How do you know it is the front left?

This sucks, but I am sure there is someone you know that witnessed it, and they can confirm they stopped for no reason and their brake lights didn't work. Or that you didn't actually hit them, or that they actually rolled into you. They are lying so you may as well do the same.

Where did you get these from, I need to replace mine asap.

There are only so many components that will cause this so it should just be a case of systematically checking them. But, as said before, having a ramp or pit makes this much easier!

I have just replaced the lower ball joints. I would do the work myself, I don't think it would be too bad but have lost use of a garage recently but I am sure I can find somewhere! What is frustrating is I had the engine out just before xmas, it would have been a very good time to change it...

If there is a chance it is the rubber boot then start there, should be quick and easy to rule it out. If it is the boot then something like GT86 should stop it (check its a lubricant that won't degrade the rubber like WD40).

I did exactly what you did, cheap things / easy things first. Wishbone bushes are next for me. Really not sure if I should go with poly bushes or go standard again, not sure I really rate the poly bushes for a road car. Also not sure if I should try and just do new bushes or go all out and...

Mine is pulling about terribly, I have done rack bushes, track rods and track rod ends. Next on the list is wishbone bushes for me. Just hope it is not the rack that is gone!!

I didn't find a guide either, but did it a couple of weeks ago. It isn't too hard, but can be quite fiddly. Make sure you have a good selection of socket extensions (I think you need a deep 13mm sockets as well but not sure!) and I found a universal joint attachment useful as well. Other bit...

Both Standard then power to weight would suggest the Clio is faster.

Does the drivers side door lock not work either?

Can I suggest that anyone who wants to try offloading with a LR experience seriously considers making the trip to Eastnor Castle. It is fantastic and it is where we do our off road training for work. All the LR experiences are great but Eastnor is just brilliant.

It is being replaced by the supplier. I have tried to adjust the belt etc. will be swapped on Friday, hopefully with a bit more luck this time.

I just got some today from the dealer just need to fit them now.

Anyone had an issue like this before?

Connect the jump leads and start the other car and leave it for a few minutes just ticking over, then try yours. Make sure all electrical stuff that you don't need is turned off. I found with mine that my rubbish little jump leads wouldn't work, then I connect a much bigger / thicker wire set...

So, following on from this thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?684306-Will-this-alternator-work-on-my-cup i have now got a whistling noise coming from the alternator. Reading up on it on the net it sounds like it might be the bearing and nothing to worry about, expect it is...

Okay fitted it and measured the voltage across it and it is a 11.9* V no mater what load I put on it. It concerns me?? also as I drove off for the first time it whistled! And at just above idel to about 2.7k revs is continues to whistle until the sound is drained out by the engine. All this...
