dont worry, there's a hole on the side of the window that needs a guide and pin, ebay £4

hi, i've just repaired the driver side window mechanism and it goes up and down ok, but the window rocks to the side and sometimes goes up at an angle unless i support it. what's missing??

ok, i plan to replace the dogbone bushes with powerflex ones. working on the assumption that fitting powerflex bushes will cause the next weakest bush to fail, i should replace lower gearbox mount upper engine mount is it wise to replace the upper gearbox mount? i think that's all the bushes.

thanks, didn't see your post before i posted. when you say gearbox mount and you referring to the dogbone?

some sites say the dogbone is the lower gearbox mount, but ktec racing list a lower gearbox mount @ £17, so i don't think this is the dogbone

hmmm, just seen on yozza sport they do a kit which consists of: 1. Dogbone Mount2. Offside Strut Top Mount 3. Front Subframe Mount 4. Battery Tray Mount but i don't know if the subframe mount and battery tray mount have bushes/ are prone to failure

thanks :cool:

thanks. how many mounts are there- i've counted the dog bone, the gearbox mount and the top engine mount.

hi, i think i need to replace the factory alarm unit- can i get a direct cobra replacement or should i look at aftermarket? basically i don't want to have to press the key to lock/unlock the door and then a fob button to arm/disarm the alarm. thanks, kris

i think i'm sold on the powerflex dogbone bushes. does the 172 cup have the inline or the twisted dogbone? do the oem mounts have to be bought from renault themselves?

turns out it was a faulty alarm. of the three wires in the plug behind the switch, there was a black/white wire soldered to the pink wire. i cut this and the hazards stopped. still need a new switch, will go scrappy hunting on the weekend. window problem is a broken clip, have ordered regulator...

hi, on the back of the hazard light are three wires- grey, pink and brown. do you know which two i have to connect to mimick the on/off switch, or do i have to connect all three? thanks, kris

hi, picked up my first clio yesterday (172 cup) and couldn't help noticing how thin the central part of the seats are. do the FF seats have much better lower back support than the cup seats, and which sell for more money 2nd hand- the cup seats or the FF seats? thanks, kris

Hi, where abouts is the dogbone, do you need to get under the car? The rest of the mounts, are you just buying the bushes or the actual mounts? Do you HAVE to get them from Renault or can you get cheaper OEM from elsewhere? Thanks

does this sound like the UCH/ multi timer unit? is there stuff i can try first before getting it replaced? thanks, kris

i would still remove it as it shouldn't have any bearing on the sale. putting the word 'repairs' into a buyers mind will leave you with an uphill struggle. it's much better bringing it up in conversation at the viewing before they start looking through the paperwork and service history. if i...

definitely. you shouldn't put anything in about previous repairs unless its a cat a,b,c,d insurance write off, then you should declare it.

i think the issue with buying a car with mods is that it's been personalized for someone else and will never feel like your own car. it will feel like you are driving around in someone elses pride and joy. if you compare this with an umodded car, it doesn't have it's own identity yet- it's a...

bit fat for my liking :-( how quick is the camera interface? say from standby screen to having taken a picture at 1mp resolution? ive had k750/w810 and both had good cameras, but then i got the w880 and whilst the camera isnt as good (no autofocus), i can go from standby to having taken a...

just subscribing. really hope you sort this out asap. i use to have a horrible problem with my integra. it kept losing power. i had it on a rolling road and they couldnt find anything. i even ordered a dizzy from canada and it fixed it for about 50 miles and then the problem came back. in the...

just read the lancer register thread. interesting. this sounds fast (from Simon Norris' sig) 30 To 130Mph: 5.06 Secs 0-60Mph: 2.4 Seconds 0-100Mph: 4.3 Seconds 0-150Mph: 8.0 Seconds :eek:

register on http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/ and ask the same question. whatever you do, this is the point that you need to start keeping evidence of phone calls/conversations and i would strongly advise following every phone call with a letter by recorded delivery to confirm the...

the UK CTR isnt (arguably) a proper Type R. the JDM CTR is though. uk v jdm no lsd no recaro race seats less track orientated chassis less powerful engine more relaxed camshafts and ecu programming more relaxed gear ratios and its not in white the uk buyer gets a bit of a raw deal on the ctr...

nice. slightly understated and looks oem in a cool way

the map coupled with the ability to diagnose faults is a bargain for £100. what do car manufacturers charge nowadays just to plug in their diagnostic equipment? £40+VAT? bear in mind no two cars are the same- one 1*2 will respond differently to another 1*2 with the same map, hence why live...

:cool: if it was picked up at midday he's been out in it for nearly 8 hours so far...

go and have a look on the cag forums (google it) some clever people on there who know what to say to big companies who wont play ball.

is it wrong that i think it looks nice...?! the bhp aren't that outlandish- i got an extra 15bhp out of my 406 after i fitted a child seat and topped up the power steering fluid...

hi, ok so its a Y reg new shape laguna and not a clio. :dapprove: (the clio purchase comes after the family car purchase) im looking at a petrol engined one with 39k on the clock. i understand cambelt interval is 72k, but as its 6yrs old should it have had one done @ 5 years old? if needed, how...
