right i understand that the center section to cat is M8 nut and bolt center section to backbox - is this the normal U clamp with nuts on either side?

my back box decide to fall off today so i am going to replace the full system from the cat back - i am anticipating the nuts and bolts being corroded , what bits do i need ?thanks

nice :) just hope the rozzers don't take a dislike to that plate, they seem hot on them round my way

fill it up to MAX when cold

winner :)

you might aswell take the VOSA doc with you to the MOT station to pre-empt any questions on rear braking (see my earlier thread about this) :)

wowaweewa i like it!

WOW!

get a crow bar on all your bush areas to check for movement ... by factors i mean motor factors like a1 or euro car parts etc

be prepared to get bummed by Renault for about 8 quid for a bolt though. get some proper penetrating fluid instead of WD40 and you will get it off. if you take your time and it cleans up ok you may not need to replace it

cost saving if you are keeping the car as a new paper filter is £13 a time & thats for a pattern part! change it 3 times and you could have bought a panel which will last forever!

good effort, if you are making a 172 rep then you will need the badges - dont feel pressured to take them off haha where abouts in lancs are you?

have you decatted it?

if its cold or been raining recently they will ne noisy and scratchey from cold ..... what pads have you got fitted ? have you inspected the pads to checked for a wedged stone in there or the like ?

it didn't fail on the braking, it failed because if the missing linkage

yeah, a big thanks to cliosport i guess :) as for the doc, do a search for "mot vosa rear load sensor" and you should get it, sorry can't be of more help i am on my phone

well i have revisited the garage and they were happy with the vosa document :)

Yeah the 220bhp made me chuckle too - not too keen on the silver / orange combo but each to their own :)

I have JUST posted about this too (in General) have you seen the VOSA document floating about? This advises that the rear linkage isnt fitted to cups and as i understand you shouldnt fit one. It also covers the low braking efficiency on the rear.

Go a call yesterday to say my cup had failed the MOT becuase the brake load sensing linkage was missing from the rear...bells began to rang as i immediately thought of the threads i had read on here in the past about a similar issue..a quick check of my phone and this confirmed it...anyway went...

here you go http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?488404-Espace-v6-airbox-price&highlight=espace+airbox

try your local factors - they will be able to source them (cheaper than Renault)

What have you got, I am still considering my options for the 172 cup however worried it will look silly if not recessed in the bumper (dont want to cut) So what pictures have you got?

Yeah or the uk

good effort - what exhaust do you have fitted??

I have some EBC Ultimax pads (not sure if they are same as the KTEC ones) - i got these from ebay for about £18 - coupled with my Brembo HC's cant fault them to be honest , especially for £63 all in

i have been having similar thoughts, really don't want to cut the back bumper !

the lack ABS is a positive not a negative, especially with snow on the ground

welcome!

you can try a socket whilst the car is on the ground, chance are it wont budge (just twist the damper insert) therefore you will need the dog leg spanner to allow you to secure the thread with an allen key
