I did look for a stick last night so I could go all Basil Fawlty on it but there's no such thing as trees in deepest Rotherham. And I don't know where the UCH is, but I'm willing to give it a smack. 🔨
This morning on the way to work I stopped off for petrol and the bloody thing took ages to start again. I finished work at 6 pm and again it refused to start. I summoned the AA via the app and was told 2 hours so I cancelled them and summoned the wife who sent her dad to pick me up who took...
I had a mondeo that was making a noise that had a Ford master tech suck air through his teeth like a like a 2 bit plumber. Did I tell the dealer about it when I traded it in?
It's possible the previous owner had no dealings with where you bought the car so they can claim they didn't know of any...
Prewious owners haven't been listed on the log book for a while now though.
Who was it who bought a yellow edc that had gearbox issues and he swapped it for a red one 🤔.
Still chasing the knock I decided to swap out the pms top mounts to check the bearings. A nice and easy job to whip the B14's off and swap the mounts to standard renault items that I had in my stash.
The pms bearings were fine but the rubber mounts will add a little bit of much needed...
I'm sure @PhillipM said his supplier shut and he was tweaking the design for new material. That was a while back though. If you ant get one I'd go with an evol engineering one. I've run both and couldn't tell the difference.
Well I definitely can't hide the knocking. It happens more when I'm on and off the throttle. I need to pull the dampers off and check them anyway as its doing my head in. Any info on the SKF sealed bearings? I've got the new style pms top mounts.
I reckon that's the knocking I currently have. It's certainly making me cringe. The roads around here are so bad I'm considering going back to oem mounts as I doubt the pms bearings will last 4k again.
Holy sheet the Max Power days were mental and bringing a little bit of it back with loud paint and lambo doors won't hurt anyone. Great to see you're still working on the car, any idea when it'll be on th Road? CSF maybe?
My replacement ones were sloppy as fook. Maybe because I de-rusted the hubs too. The old ones came out in a similar fashion though, t**t of a job to do.
That's an auto express interpretation of what it'll look like so don't get all excited over those pics.
Apparently the 5 will not get AWD so yeah the more powerful megane will probably be quicker and with AWD and torque vectoring it'll probably corner better too. Renaultsport would never have...
LY tax at its best but this one has just popped up very close so I might go for a test drive as I've never driven one.

I sorted mine when it was in bits by riveting on a piece of plate and shaping it to the oe bolt. It's ridiculous how flimsy the ecu mount is and I can see them snapping at the bottom in a few years as the rust eats through them.
