    Clunk when in reverse!

    Ok, got the car up on a 4-post ramp yesterday and the clunking noise seems to be coming from inside the gearbox. So either reverse gear is about to fall out, or the diff is fubar! New box time me thinks. :( Anyone have 1?

    Engine mounts, 2 questions?

    The knocking noise is the manifold hitting the subframe. So you pull the engine forward to increase the manifold to subframe gap.

    magnex hitting axel?

    Loosen the Clamp on the back box, use a wooden mallet to beat the centre section up into the backbox pipe. Then redo clamp. I also uprated the mount as the renault 1 is s**t!

    Clunk when in reverse!

    Had a real good look at the car last nite, and cant see anythin obvious. Mounts seem ok, but could it be a dog bone mount? Just notied this morning it makes a less noisey knock when coming off the power in 2nd 3rd and 4th? Anyone had this b4?

    Clunk when in reverse!

    This sounds really bad. It only clunks once, then runs fine until you go forward then select reverse again, then another clunk. could this be a driveshaft problem?

    Clunk when in reverse!

    Would I be best to losen all the mounts, get some1 to pull the engine forward whilst I tighten them again?

    And it was clunking then driving fine? I'm hoping it is something very simple! Will get her on a ramp later!

    Clunk when in reverse!

    No, can't feel it through the pedals. I was thinking mount, will have a look when I get home. Could it be a shaft?

    Clunk when in reverse!

    Ok, just went to reverse my car there to park in work and there was a loudish clunk from around the engine bay somewhere. Only did it once, then reversed fine. Does it everytime I select reverse, 1 clunk then drives ok. Anyone any ideas what this could b? Thanks, Stuart

    3M Perfect It

    They're all compounds mate. U'd need Machine glaze or ultrafina after! Fast cut is great for taking scratches out!

    3M Perfect It

    All 3m Polishes are great! My bro won't use anything else in his bodyshop as the 3m seems to give the best results for the money. Ultrafina is amazing!

    GF's Mum Reversed into my 172!!

    Picked it up from the beater on wednesday! Panel looks 100%. Looking at the inside I can hardly see any ripples and the outside looks mint! He said it came out really easily! You should see the state of the Porsche he's pulling atm!

    GF's Mum Reversed into my 172!!

    He said that if he fitted a new panel it'd never be right. I thought a new panel would be the easier option myself, but I've seen his previous work. My bro uses him alot! He's good, so I trust him!

    GF's Mum Reversed into my 172!!

    Haven't got the bill yet, but the guy's a mate of my brother's. I took the car too him and asked him to put a panel on it. He said he'd rather pull it than cut and weld a new panel on. He seems to know his stuff, so I let him work away with it!

    GF's Mum Reversed into my 172!!

    It's repaired and all! Only took the tiniest skim of isopon after he pulled it out! This guy knows his stuff! U couldn't tell from the outside that is's bin fixed! Jus need her painted now! :D Doesn't need a new quarter. Just there's very few proper panel beaters left now days!

    GF's Mum Reversed into my 172!!

    After alot of thought the car is not in with the Panel beater to be pulled straight. I hate taking panels off a car when there aint much wrong with them. Insurance companies are too quick to replace panels when they could be easily fixed! Car will be up for sale when she's fixed!

    Electric Fault.....

    Dad's Laguna blew a fuse and I couldn't find where it was, turned out to be below the ashtray. Dunno if the MK3's are the same, but might be worth a shot!
