yeah on the w reg 172 they had an ali bonnet on it, so presumably renault will have a part number for it. Why not get a fibre glass one, or carbon fibre

So they are 16s then? Look good with that colour imo. Were the standard 172 wheels 16's anyway? Presumably its on standard springs?

is it defo fooooked? If so, does anyone know the part number/cost?

^^^^ it is exactly what it says in the name ;)

its only loose where when you see me pumping it, when its hissing. Up to that point its as stiff as the other

no mate, although i've never had any problems with tyre blackner before.only put it on the very edges

Hi guys, just taken off the rear dampers to ckeck them, here is what if found? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDFIKe8bQEk They look ok, no leaks, but one of them is very loose when pushed right in (shown on the vid and it makes a noise). both felt the same to push down, and both recoil the...

197 on a track is much more managable, but 182 is more fun imo. Thanks shorty

how important are these? don't wanna fork out 60quid on a wrench just so i can check the dampers

Whats the difference in the rear suspension set ups? When i've driven the 197 it feels so much more stable. Is the rear axle completely different? or is it independant?

cheers dave

Anyone know the torque settings for rear dampers. I'm taking them off later, is there a certain torque they need at top and bottom?

I have noticed when i take the panel off that mine gets wet everytime i was the car. Can't be good surely.

ah ok, will just try the left side first then

I might just take them both off and see. Probably give a better comparison. Will give it a go this weekend. Although if they are both gone i've no comparison lol

I quite like that. What paint did you use?

have you tried the spare key? or changing the battery in the other key??

Does it sound like a metal sort of tapping noise? a bit like morse code when you get to near red line? Mine does this on occassion, no idea what it is.

I presume its climate with it being a dynamique

^^^^ is that normal? Or is my passenger side damper screwed?

take it to a renault specialist, better service at lower cost. No offence to the steelers :) Sounds like its belt related. does it do it would of gear when reved, or is it just when the gears are engaged?

lol why would you do that.

do a search on here mate, there are a few threads on it. Its under the plastic panel at the top of the bonnet infront of the driver. They are quite expensive from renault, but scrappy could be an option.

Was thinking the same too. Shame they haven't performed for you Mad. Do you have uprated hoses, fluid and disc?

how do you mean given up? Have you tried the battery?

about 3 inch

nice finds

I had the wheels off the other week but couldn't see any leaking from the dampers. I had the car on 4 axle stands at the time. I did notice that even on a flat, the passenger side rear axle wasn't sitting on the stands at all when the drivers side was. All stands were in the same place under the...

Doubt it would be the coils? usually they cause the engine to sound s**t, lose power, but not really jerky. Unless its on its way out and not already fooked.

had it done it since though? You can get the radio removal tools from halfords i think, but like said, use small screwdriver or similar, push in as far at it goes (2 on each side) then pull out. If you only have 2 then do one side first, pull out slightly then do the other.
