Needs to be the thin oil as you say to operate the dephaser and lube up the camshaft and associated lifters. As you say was prbably not topped up correctly, hopefully you have no oil leaks.

It's the same one as I bought for my cup. the only differences I have seen on other 1x2's are the bottom fixing pins, some are facing sideways and some downwards. Check how yours is fitted before ordering. It's aslo the same price as mine but from a differnet source.

5w40 fully synthetic is the grade of oil and should always be that. Why do you think of changing to 10w40?

It's good fun at North Weald, I have been to a couple events there myself. May give the Dragging bit a go one day. What car do you have?

Eibach Sport or Pro. Lower the car a little but supremely more comfortable.

Expensive though, I paid £45 for the front offside one. Should have trawled Ebay and the breakers for it.

:lolup: Thats a good discount. Just like DFS.

Seems strange to me why car enthusiasts spend lots of dosh on making their car go faster over a 1/4mile, only to find the quicker they go the less time you can enjoy yourself behind the wheel. Bit of a conundrum to me. Each their own I guess but I'll rather go on track days and enjoy...

The tax may be cheap but insurance will be more. Cat c 's aren't to be completely avoided but at the right price, I'm thinking £1600. Also it will be harder to sell on due to it's strange history.

I seem to remember the washer was attached to the plug. Just go to the Reno dealer and buy a new plug.

Rude Racing are the cheapest I've found for new ones. Whats wrong with used ones? there are Eibach's coming up for sale on Cliosport regularly. Its not that they wear out is it? more that they are worn in for you.

You could buy the paint required and give it to the refurber if you know the shade. That will put the onus off matching the colour on yourself of course.

Definitely wind them in clockwise and apply pressure too, I used a strip off flat metal that fitted in the piston slots and its easier done with the calipers on the car so don't take them off.

Im changing my springs to Eibach Pros today. Having taken one front spring out it looks to be about 2" shorter and 2 less coils than the new Pros spring . The Eibach part no. is EU7714001VA, is this the right one? Can't find any mention of a specific part no. for the Cup springs on the Eibach...

Exactly, Just like Kwik Fit.

Found it now, ta, Got email voucher for the check. Is this like a Kwik Fit free check up?

I'm pleased to tell you, Daniel - Laughing is allowed, so you'll be ok in my car.

can't find the site to book my car in, I'm looking on My Renault. Where is it?

And another, People who keep saying "Cool" or "Amazing"

I forgot pets, especially big dogs that gob all over the seats.

Passengers are allowed in my car, they get a free ride to wherever and thats it. No loud music, eating, drinking, smoking, wanking, shagging (unless with me), farting, talking football, winging. Probably a few more too.

It's unlikely to be the sticking calipers, but have a good look at the rubber piston seals, if they are split/damaged/missing then the piston edges rust up and prevent them withdrawing into the caliper. Uneven wear is not uncommon and all the cars I have had in the past have had uneven wear to...

It's probably your shocks affecting the whole suspension especially on bumpy roads. Change them both and see what happens then. Best to do both sides.

Mine doesn't have any of that, bog standard. 2002 model.

AA man will take it off for you with one of those tools mentioned above.

The only way you'll keep up with the Meg. is buy one yourself.

A French car feel solid, thats funny.:lolup::lolup:

57 on a m.way, how many truckers did you annoy?

Is it the engine light in the centre display or the engine light (emmision light) on the right hand side of the instrument panel, if the latter then not too important, the car is safe to drive. If the former then will be a fault in the ignition system, low oil and things like that.

I'm guessing the dephaser pulley has gone tits up.
