Ahem. Keep your Rallye. (;

172 cups only came in Mondial Blue and Iceberg Silver. The red you're looking at is Flame red. Not a limited edition, no. Just not that many sold. Tend to hold their price better than silvers and blacks..

I think Jamesstone is selling some almost new 888's.

195/50/15 is normally standard, iirc.

Unlikely to be engine mounts, imo. Look at ball joints, and suspension top mounts, imo.

Drivers side engine mount (LHS of engine bay as facing) Upper gearbox mount (Under battery) Lower gearbox mount (from gearbox to subframe at front) Dogbone (gearbox to car (back of the gearbox.)) Your knocking noise, is it at the top of the revs in first and second? If so, I'd try loosening...

Just pads? Loosen wheel bolts. Jack rear up and put on stands (with handbrake off!). Remove wheels. Remove metal clips that hold pads in. Tap slider out with hammer and screwdriver. Remove two bolts that hold caliper yoke. Everything will fall off. To fit, reverse procedure. You'll need to...

Drop of superglue on the thread, lol

I've got a full set of standard 172 springs in the shed..

I'd guess 12-15kgs for the head, and 60 odd for the bottom end. Both guesses, but I lifted both at the weekend.

The energy lost by softer mounts is put onto the road, in theory.

£570?! f**k me. Pretty much, new coil spring is easy. Inspect the shock. It could be because of the broken spring, but standard dampers are picked up on here cheap enough. Same if it's a knackered top mount.

Open the bonnet on the driveway, and get someone to blip the throttle. The engine will rock slightly on standard mounts. Do the same with solid mounts and there's hardly any movement. Without the slight engine movement (eliminated by uprated mounts) the car picks up better when you boot it...

I'd bet so.

Agreed. Abbeylands school has both indoors and out. Get on it, Johns!

What's going on then?

As said by PM, this is why I gave you the whole mount in the first place. Just unbolt the whole thing from the gearbox and the car, and swap it over!

Heat them up with a hairdryer and peel them off. Might need polishing after to remove any residue. Simple

That's Luke. The Boosh! on here. Tidy car.

Squeaky as f**k. Like, seriously loud. Also, they make a mess of wheels/paintwork.

For road use and track, DS2500. For purely track/minimal road- CL.

Once the hub nut's off- tap with a lump hammer and spin, repeat until it moves.. Sometimes gets a bit sticky.

You've taken the box apart and are rebuilding it, or you've changed the box over in the car and now the gearstick won't engage?

I agree.

Check the ball joints, imo.

If you've got knocking, it's unlikely to be this one. WHen do you get the knocking? High up in the revs in first and second is tell tale engine mounts..

There's another mount, called the lower gearbox mount. It bolts to the subframe and the front of the gearbox.

Wrong. The dogbone connects the gearbox to the car.

Vish has got one for sale, I think..

Yep, buy the discs from Renault, and they come already pressed in. Easy peasy to swap, then.
