i looked at the comma stuff, but its GL4

was it worn, or did you just swap it as you were upgrading?

is this just where the bolt/stud has been pushing against the rubber?

hi mate, how did you do this, just a shim under the engine mount? did you do anything with the gearbox mounts? I only have about 2mm clearance. strangely the knocking only started when i went from a normal dogbone to a powerflex one, though i guess it makes sense- the engine now pivots on the...

Re: Upper gearbox mount- turning upper nut looks like its going to rip the rubber mou i just worked on the lower nut though, i didn't touch the upper nut and bolt

Re: Upper gearbox mount- turning upper nut looks like its going to rip the rubber mou yeah, got the nut off this way

i'll give that a go. only wiggled the bolt back and forth so far

did you miss the start of the video? i'm pulling on both ;)

Re: Upper gearbox mount- turning upper nut looks like its going to rip the rubber mou turns out the bolt was moving. in the end i accessed it from the top of the gearbox, you can direct a spanner under the gearbox mount and slot it onto the net.

hi, im trying to remove the upper gearbox mount so i can see if its the reason my manifold is knocking on the subframe. i've taken off the two smaller nuts, but when i turn the large nut in the middle it twists the rubber mount. i've located the nut underneath- the nut isn't spinning, but...

also, would you replace both track rod ends, or is one on its own ok? i suppose the condition of one side is a good indication of the condition of the other side though...

hi, i can feel a bit of knocking when rocking the passenger wheel with my hands at 9 and 3 o clock. its coming more from the 3 o clock position i think. figured the track rod end, so remove it from the hub and here's the play, i guess this is too loose, but would be good to confirm. i also...

you should give cliospares a call, they don't prioritise emails/posts

thanks, i tried that thread already, mondial blue/ D43 isn't available from renault any more

Can anyone recommend a place to get paint mixed up? I just need a touch up stick, although i guess if i get it mixed up it will be a small pot of paint. Or is it all much of a muchness and I should just go to my nearest coachworks (or the one that my local dealer uses)? Thanks

can't find it for sale anywhere

any thoughts on autoglym hd wax? £40 in halfords but available on ebay for £27

love it!! i know its temporary, but can't help thinking the plate is starving the radiator of cool air..?

wow, super clean example. red carpets remind me of (among other things) my old 205 gti. pimping.

hi, sometimes when i'm steering it feels like there is too much play in the wheels, like i turn the steering wheel but it starts to steer a split second later. this only happens when i'm going straight and then start to turn. it's horrible when you're making good pace and there's a left-to-right...

sorry to hear about your accident. as dave88 said go and get photos to support your claim, draw diagrams, etc etc, basically as much evidence as you can.

i think it looks like a 4x4 at standard height, and i have a cup which i've read is slightly lower than non-cup 172's

om nom nom nom that's lurvely

both bushes got drilled. once i got those out, i got the metal collar out. i used a hacksaw blade to cut through it from the inside at 90 degree angle just down to the mount itself, then i could hammer it in towards the centre and it fell out.

i went at mine with a drill, just kept drilling holes into the rubber part of the bush until it weakened and i could force it out.

i was about to post the same thread. i get a tapping/ ticking, almost clicking noise from cold. it doesn't sound like that dephaser pulley video. it's just a tick tick tick sound. not sure but i think it may have happened after i changed the oil. can't be sure. i'm using carlube triple r...

i understand where you're coming from, it's like "i'm just doing it". do you go mental when your pc asks you to click next?

perhaps half the problem is you don't know it's a sport until you're too close to nod, so you just stare. i get/give the unintentional stare whenever i see a sport. i've never seen a v6 though, bit sad about that.

thanks for the info guys, some good stuff there. i'm not fussed about getting it from halfords, will buy online. i usually pick up my cleaning stuff on their 3 for 2 weekends hence why most stuff is from halfords. car is mondial blue. thanks

my wife begs to differ :rasp:
