Technically no, but 9 times out of 10 I grease where the spring sits (Both ends) between the bushes at the top, and the top mount of most cars. I've eliminated squeaky noises from doing this a fair few times, also the noise when the rubber turns, then stops then turns again, like a twanging...

Sorry for the dodgy pic Its basically a ball & socket, and the ball wears, then it can go up and down, and make knocking noises. Did you grease the spring and the bearings when you assembled them?

Firstly, I'll take that as a No Secondly, a copper washer is wrong for the DCI sump

Fubar jack your car up mate, keep the wheel on work the play top to bottom, and at 5 & 10 o'clock. Get under it with a big screwdriver/prybar, get it between the arm and the hub & see if you can pull it down. You'll be able to feel/see ifs its excessive

Oh, by the way, its a steel washer, its not a 1.2/old 8v Engine etc. Thanks

Do you even know where the oil filter is on a DCI?

Yeah, okay

Gearboxes are different, 80 & 100 have intercooler, 100 has disc'd rear axle... The engines are the same neither is 'tougher' than the other 2

Use Renault stuff, DOT4. Plenty good enough unless you do some serious track work

Bobby personally I wouldn't bother jacking it up, just make sure your on level ground, theres more than enough room to get a old dish bowl under, & a sump tool. Also don't forget to change the washer on the sump plug.

225, quicker & they don't handle bad atall regardless of what people say. Get a remap & your laughing. Early Facelifted, with cup chassis??

Yeah good advice, massive visual deterrent & like said take ages to destroy/get off. Get some more security lights up & a cheap CCTV set if you have to, I know its not the point but what can you do. Personally if I caught them, they've be chewing 206 windscreen for the rest of their days

Agreed tommy the front spoiler looks shite. The exhaust surround is a bit half harted too, might look good all in black. I'd rather get a 130bhp DCI, and get that mapped. Lot cheaper

Do the bolts as you do the other bolts, torqued properly. Grease the thread and whenever you get the wheel bolts off, clean the head of the lock nut and the key, can't go wrong

Got mine round to 120mph once (on the clock before you start) f**k me, when I got the DCI I couldn't believe how much of a death trap it felt like compare to a Mk2. Solid engine thought never broke down, only replaced bits I bust on it, shock tops and cv gaiter flying off bridges :o Set of shoes...

Lubricate your cable mate, or get a new one there not too expensive.

Not worth doing to be honest, you'd need loads of £££

A back street garage would do it for half hours labour

No there in the hub on the fronts. You need to remove the hub, someone posted a guide up not long ago in your other thread have a look there.

Usually the slightly larger socket bashed on the lock nut will do. I usually give them 3 or 4 whacks with a massive punch which loosens them up, and 'shocks' them - full on swings, not toffee breaking hits. Then a thinner punch, about 5mm across, and tap them round to undo. Works everytime I've...

Your kidding?

Dave have you bled them properly?

Does it automatically when you have the lights on and wash the windscreen with the normal washers.

What the screw or the socket? It'll never turn if you just put the socket on them straight away, you'll mash the head up. shock them with the hammer/WD40 them to loosen them up a bit.

Can be a bit tight on those. Turn ignition off. Remove your airbox (1X10mm, 1 rubber band) pull that off. Remove your air filter (2XT20s) best with a stumpy screwdriver for those. Get a torch and you'll see 2X10mm bolts at the back, and 1 on the top, remove those. Then you'll have to fight it a...

If your not happy with them, get it jacked up again and have a nose around, make sure your bolts are all tight, pads sitting correctly, hoses positioned correctly etc etc. Best to be safe on brakes eh. Then if alls well, buzz it round the block and start to bed them in.
