You mean the Cat to the exhaust manifold? Go into Renault and buy a fitting kit, you'll get 2 springs, 4 washers, 2 nuts, 2 bolts etc etc Replace the caps that go into the manifold aswell, they'll tap out with a chisel.
There will be a clamp between the Cat and centre section.
Go into a motor factors or a place like German & Swedish www.gsfcarparts.com and ask for a rotor arm and a new dizzy cap, goes on the end of the cam they'll know what your on about.
Pull your leads off it, and just unscrew it, you'll see the arm held onto the end of the cam. Held on usually by...
F0xy get it jacked up, get the wheel off and take the drum and bearing to a local garage.
Any decent place would press the bearing out the drum and press the new one in for a tenner cash in hand.
Don't think many places have had a chance to 'tweek' or play with many 197s yet even though they've been out a year.
Play it safe - panel filter & a Remap ;)
edit- Speak to j11ase on here hes had loads done to his 197
^ 2 Different types of oil filter for the 1.2 16V so ask them if you can have both and return one, or just look through your offside front wheel and you'll see if its the metal type, or the plastic housing containing the cartridge type.
You don't need to get the tracking/geometry setup again if you change the hub, forget tapping the threads, longer bolts and whatever else, just get a new hub, do you want a wheel to fall off at 100mph+ ??
Get your old man to just slam a set of valves in your car replace the gasket and all that, sell it and just upgrade, buy a 1.6, so so so much easier in the long run.
Bloody hell 19 now and seeing loads of RS's in this thread, I really should get one - could easily afford one but can't convince myself if for doulbe running costs (tax/insurance/fuel) its that much big a jump from the DCI... What to do..
Got no pics but the 2 screw clips going into the bonnet need to come off, remove/get behing the arch linings in either side wheel arch, theres a 10mm bolt in each side holding the bumper to the wing area - infront of each wheel up high. Then underneath theres a few 10mm bolts holding the lower...
To be fair modern cars are designed to have the crumple zones etc so wouldn't be suprised if that was 25/30mph, not forgetting Clio wings are made of plastic, as is most of the front end.
Strip them down, clean it all with brake cleaner, let it dry then use the copper grease, where the pads sits in the carrier, and where the caliper touchs the pads.
