CES - link is already in this thread

a few things it could be - heatshield, etc you're going to have to scrub around underneath it to find out what's loose unfortunately if you can't find anything it could be the baffles in one of the silencers

EuroCarParts keep the top engine mount and the upper gearbox mount

best bet is probably in asking them to use as flat an oval box as poss, and have skid plates welded either end

wouldn't be surprised if it's a problem on some cars as the centre boxes of a lot of aftermarket exhausts hang lower than the OE one which is built up into the exhaust tunnel

i can't really keep up with the tacho but have noticed that i tend to shift from second at about 60 and at about 80 from third. looking at those vids, seems that's about 6500rpms have you tried driving it steadily (at part throttle) up to the limiter to see where it cuts, rather than wanging...

interesting read, and some comedy translation!

Re: s**te renault jacks same here^. they're not really up to much for regular use

typical outer CV joint below. you've got a spider locked onto the splined end of the driveshaft which holds a number of ball bearings which are located by a cage which is, in turn, housed by the outer casing of the joint. the purpose of a CV joint is to allow for steering/suspension movement...

it's a constant velocity joint..

Re: s**te renault jacks i think the standard jack i've got is actually ok (as they go), but the plastic loop that you hook the winding handle into looks as though it wouldn't stand up to a lot of regular use as it deforms alarmingly

depends how it breaks as to how much damage it could cause - main concern might be loss of the steering if the CV joint breaks up and seizes

it's not a confidence inspiring advert

unless someone is/knows the seller, you could try asking for pictures of the actual exhaust (as that's a picture from KTEC's website)

Renault dealer is going to be your best bet. don't know how easy to fit they might be if by 'standard road lights' you mean driving lamps, it won't be possible to convert them as the lens/reflector design dictates the light pattern that the lamps emit - fog lamps will only cast light onto the...

^ jack the relevant corner up, and try rocking the wheel whilst grasping it at the 9-3 and 12-6 o'clock positions. also spin the wheel to see if you can see/hear anything untoward tbh, if it's the wheel bearing, it should be obvious if it's as noisy as you describe. if it is the bearing, i...

i thought the object was in avoiding doing that.. ? anyway, that suggestion of using a loose clip is a good one - easy scrap yard job and you could keep it in the glove box PS. Peperami, there's a suggestion in similar topics that the alarm can be deleted using the CLIP diagnostic thing

try plugging the passenger's belt into the driver's clip. obv no good if you've removed either of those bits, or if you're carrying passengers

this rather defeats the object but, in some cars, you can turn the alarm off by plugging in the passenger belt only

i'm sure you would have noticed, but i'm going to embarrass myself by asking - assume it's not stuck in gear? as chance would have it, my gearbox failed last x-mas eve and gave similar sounding symptoms as the engine couldn't be started unless the clutch was in otherwise, i think there are...

may be the half of the bolt that screws into the gearbox is narrower than the other half (that bolts to the mount)

i don't myself (may be someone else will) but i do know that they're out of stock of these mounts at the moment (as i enquired recently) and are expecting more in the second week of Jan. may be they can arrange something else before then though

i'm lucky enough to have a pillar drill but, likewise, probably wouldn't be happy using a hand held drill. the alloy's probably quite soft but you wouldn't really want to risk being at all inaccurate as i assume the plate should sleeve over the bolt snugly if the hole in the base plate is too...

doesn't sound good. i think 'adeyspecracing' (user name) has fitted one - could ask him by PM, or wait to call KTEC after the break if it's just the case that the hole in the base plate isn't big enough, could you enlarge it by drilling?

Powerflex also sell directly; might be worth checking their prices

i've not but am considering a pair; what are you struggling with? have you got the old mount off?

sounds daft, but a loose upper gearbox mount (under battery) will make a similar sounding noise - although usually intermittently i'd have thought possibly the wheel bearing?

i've a G220 that i've used to go over the car once and, tbh, it's *very* hard work. if your car's covered in minor scratches/swirls (as mine was), you're not going to remove them by hand, so you've no option but to be using a machine really. but - as said - it takes an absolute age as you...

i know you've just decided but, in order of pref, i'd look for Cups/Ph1/Ph2 if i were in your position the Cups are the lightest (marginally) but, perhaps most importantly, don't have any driver aids (other than PAS), or A/C - so less to maintain (not that you'd necessarily be bothered if the...

i've a mk2 stealth on mine and think it's quite pleasant with the cat fitted. i did try it with a decat (briefly) but found it way too noisy - was actually quite surprised at the noise increase. it was fine at relatively small throttle openings but was otherwise embarrassing - i felt guilty...
