@bloke has had impressive results with 197 cams and his special timing

Check the contacts at the plug on the passenger side behind the bumper. I'm sure both lights are fed from the same plug.

How did that happen? I'd be trying to claim from the garage whoever forgot to put oil back in

Oops just realised they are cornering lights. What an annoying thing to put on a car. Quite distracting I think, maybe not now I know why they are coming on and off all the time lol

Got a funny fault with the mk3. When the headlights are on, the bulbs on the outer edge also come on but come on and off during driving. What are these bulbs for? They are mega bright like fog lamps but the car has bumper mounted fog lights which work fine. Main beam and dipped beam and side...

Sure it's not the joint on the end of the driveshaft thats gone making it look like the diff bearing has gone? I'd take the drive shafts off first and check the roller bearings on the end and cv joint and also the wheel bearings. Drain the oil first so you can see of his theory is correct...

Ah right cheers guys. Never noticed it before. I though it had snapped at first when I saw the coils lowering down onto each other lol

Not sure that i did now that you mention it. I'll double check that tomorow. There's no funny noises or anything though coming from them.

Yep

These ones https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Front+Lower+Wishbone+Bush/1241.html Took the wheels off earlier and everything was tight, no play in anything so im completely stumped.

Just been having a look around under the car to find the source of my pulling to the right and when I dropped the Jack I noticed my front sportline spring the bottom 3 coils all sat on each other. Is that normal? The spring isn't snapped.

Mine runs like a right dogg for the first 2 or 3 minutes. My 182 was the same

Did you not read my post re the resistor? It's a 3 quid fix to diy it. Or 13 quid if you don't currently own a soldering iron

Loads on eBay mate...

Thanks Steve. My rears are 6 month old sportlines and brand new cup shocks so I wouldn't have thought it'd be that unless one of the sprigs has gone soft recently. I'll double check both wishbones are correctly torqued up tomorow along with both ball joint pinch bolts but again they are all...

Yeh toe is ok now. Front right could do with a bit more camber but if have thought if that was the issue it would pull off power too

The toe was corrected after this pic as I complained but everything else remained the same.

Only other thing I can think of is I replaced the top engine mount but not the gearbox mount. Dogbone is polybushed. Could uneven engine mounts cause It?

Bumping this thread as after removing the rear shocks together to find one was oem and the other was completely different I changed them both for brand new cup shocks, however the issue is still there and is driving me insane. There's no knocks from any of the suspension as everything up front...

My is kind of lol. I just assumed stealth meant it's completely hidden, id have gone for the recessed if I knew it would be such a pain lol. I'm gonna try a powerflex mount I think hopefully no sag should get it more or less hidden

I fitted some cup shocks the other day and they actually did the opposite. The shaft would go back in by itself. The rears however are pressurised and will want to extend everytime you push them in

Looks good that. Ever had it rolling roaded to see if all the effort of shifting the battery actually makes a difference?

I think you can get Chinese clones of Renault Clip on ebay. Probably the best option.

Track rods?

If the noise goes away when the clutch is dipped then surely its more likley to be a bearing in the box? When the clutch is dipped the release bearing is engaged and is under pressure against the clutch cover so more likely to make noise. when the clutch is up and his noise is auduble ie...

What do you mean by moves? Shakes? Or pulls the car to one side? If it's the first then id be checking all brake sliders and maybe changing the disks.

How you finding these? I'm gona need a set soon and these are dirt cheap fitted at halfords

If you manage to get it stealth let me know how you did it. I've settled for about an inch an a half of tail pipe hanging down as even with new mounts and hours of adjusting I could get it completely hidden

Just took both shocks off and one is Renault and the other side is completely different. Different length and different top mount lol. I'll get new cup items.
