Oh dear. I believe this is the 'famous' car for all the wrong reasons.

Is scrap not still down to around £50 a ton? Bung on ebay at a £200 starting bid and hope for the best. Someone will spend around £400/£450 as a 'buy to break'.

You're obviously in love. Keep it and see what happens.

A few grand probably. Better ways to invest than in a Renault Clio IMO.

Identify the measurements. Go to a fixings place or punch the numbers into ebay. You'll pay a fraction of that.

Chip, is that you?

Lots of incorrect info in here. Go to a 106 forum and read a decent guide.

I may be wrong, but I'd suggest you leave it alone and get a dent guy out as attempting it yourself could make it worse/harder to sort.

If the gearbox was quiet as a mouse, would you have been more inclined to keep the car and do the clutch/bearing? Because you'd be taking the box of anyway to do that. Just put another box back on it the noisy ones place. Unless you'd have kept on driving it with a noisy bearing, obviously.

£100 box and a day assigned to change it. Plenty of guides on here if you aren't initially feeling competent. Yet you'd put the effort in to break?

Don't turn up with 3 mates and a boot full of crap if you can help it. Have had that happen many a time. Once I sold a boot to a car full of 4 people. The rear passengers sat with it by their knees and look through the glass as if they were in a black cab. Almost as bad as when someone came to...

Put a 50mm one in each mirror cap. Give it a week and you'll see everyone doing it.

It may go back to the front to meet up with the Radio.

When you follow it - What's at the end of it?

What has caused the boot to split on a brand new part in one day?

Take the car somewhere flat. I just do it by eye. Wind it in/out a bit until the wheels looks straight ahead or have a bit of toe depending on what I want, when you lower it down to the ground. Small adjustments. Repeat until happy. Get someone in the car to shake the steering wheel until the...

Would anyone happen to know off the top of their head what size the stainless screws are which hold the 'faux carbon' end caps on to the Cup spoilers for the Mk3? Random but you never know!

Posting it out to me :)

The seller may be able to tell you if you ask them.

There's nothing to say that a few weeks later another tester at the same garage won't fail it for another overlooked/newly identified issue. I personally just book a test up to 4 weeks before expiry and use the first test as an indicator for what needs doing and have 10 working days to rectify...

Use a brake pipe spanner, wire brush the hell out of it and use some decent penetrating oil. Worst case scenario is you will kink the pipe if you're too heavy handed with it.

Silverline tools are generally speaking, Chinese tools. For something you wish to retain a level of accuracy, I'd have avoided personally. Hopefully it will see you right anyway :)

If you aren't changing the disc you won't need to disturb the hub nut. Effectively it's a Nyloc from memory so it's good practice to replace, but if you torque it up correctly it will likely be fine and you can look to source another in the meantime and change it over in the near future.

I've got a couple of Halfords ones. I've dug out the receipts for you. Trade prices when I purchased last year: 40-200nm £74.99 retail. £59.99 Trade 8-60nm £74.99 retail. £39.99 Trade

Still going?

The £ being at the end of the price really frustrates me. 75.19£ There's no need for it.

What will you be using it for?

Combe has had new tarmac recently and it will squeal a lot more than 'old' tarmac. I did a track day there on Monday and it was very loud with my R888s.
