Get your wheel bearings from here. Renault use SNR bearings . I had 2 fitted a few months ago and they're spot on. https://m.buycarparts.co.uk/snr/1928691

There's no need to be knocking s**t out of it lol. As said above. Give them a good soaking in wd40 first. Then get yourself one of these gear pullers from Halfords, it cost about 9 quid. A good tip that @Darren S said and it does makes it easy to pull the arms off is to lift the actual wiper...

You'll also have to factor in if the belts need doing , around £700 or thereabouts.

The pump didn't need changing . A local garage near me changed the alternator and had broken the tensioner and refitted the aux belt wrong causing the power steering pump to stall, so not spinning all the time. New aux belt kit fitted and everything is working as it should now. Maybe check...

A big thanks to Andy and Steve @Birchdown :) Sorted my clunking aux belt noise / power steering pump and sorted the long/soft brake pedal, today. Thanks guys . Spot on as always with your work (y)

Brembo discs front and rear are fine. Pads are more of a personal choice, a bit like tyres. Everybody has their favourites. Front pistons just push in. Crack the bleed nipple, I just use my thumbs. Rear pistons wind in clockwise. Use a screwdriver or flat bar. As Oss said above. George is the...

I meant Cat, lol. Orbisoud exhausts used to be regarded as one of the best.

Definitely an aftermarket Car.

Birchdown aren't that far away if you're in Manchester. They're always busy so you might a couple of weeks to wait .

The last water pump I had done was fitted at a Renault dealership 5 years previously. It had only done 28k miles . The cheeky b******s had used a none genuine pump . It was rattling and screeching it's tits off. I'm off to Birchdown next week for a few jobs. 3 hour round trip but at least I know...

I like a good spirited drive and never had any problems. They are no more dusty than other pads I've used over the years. The worst pads and most costly were mintex 1144's. What a waste of money they were. They were embarrassing the amount of squealing when slowing down at traffic lights.

I had exactly the same noise 5 years ago , it turned out the water pump was knackered and on its way out.

Are you looking for pads for the track and road? If you're looking for pads for the road I can highly recommend TRW GDB1405 for the fronts and TRW GDB1305 for the rears. I've been running these for years now after I needed some " emergency " brake pads and had to buy some from a local motor...

I always leave the shims in, the pads move better with them in imo . Just give everything a good clean and make sure the pads move freely and you shouldn't have any problems. If you have squealing that's probably due to the compound of the pad. Mintex 1144's squeal like a b**ch.

Nice one. Glad you got it sorted.

@imprezaworks might know ?

You have 2 air inlet pipes to the airbox. One from the side and one from underneath One pipe runs down into the wheel arch and has the acoustic valve on the end the other just runs to a piece of the bodywork like in the pic and gets air from the area behind the headlight , next to the battery.

The battery should be around 12.6v for a good battery. After leaving your lights on for a few minutes it'll probably drop ever so slightly. 9.66v is very very low. So it's either not charging or it's knackered. With the engine running if the alternator is working the battery should be around...

I know it's covered in s**t and its probably rusty as f**k . If it were me I'd get 2 new bolts to put back in. Give the other end of the bolt a good soaking in WD40 beforehand.

https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/service-parts/renault-dacia-pollen-filter-8201370532-8671018403/ You'll probably be able to get one alot cheaper from ECP if you search for one of those part numbers.

I'm not sure if cup shocks will fit , I don't see why they wouldn't. Less than 66 quid here. https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-rear-shock-absorber-cup-version/ Or Phase 1 rear shocks , same price...

My original " Yozza" when I had it decatted. It's not got the decat now , it was only slightly louder when it did. The decat made absolutely no difference to performance. The Yozza never came with a centre silencer. It's not the best video it's alot deeper in real life.

I've seen people who had a blocked Cat saying they are lacking power. Not sure if that's the problem you're having as ya say , higher revs and its ok. I guess the only way to tell is if you can get your hands on another Cat just to try or even a decat.

I've seen it so many times over the years . Usually a new member. They put up a post asking for information or how to solve a problem then never return. Very strange. Or you get the other CS phenomenon. Ask for advice and do totally opposite lol.

I assume when you say 3rd gear" scratch "you mean " crunch "? It seems like it's quite common. If you search on here or Google Clio 172 3rd gear crunch you'll find alot of information about it.

The buzzing sound is normal when you turn the key to position 1 . I think Its just the fuel pump priming. Mine was the earth from the battery but I also bought a new earth strap for the gearbox to chassis. It was only about 8 quid from Eurocarparts. The original wasn't actually in that bad of...

You mean the top of the top mounts , where the nut sits inside ? Some fine emery cloth then treat with your BH then some cold galv spray. https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-zinc-galvanising-spray-paint-silver-400ml/40801

I can't hear your recording. When you turn the key to position 1 all the lights come on then go out after a couple of seconds. The only lights that should remain on are Battery, Stop and Handbrake. Then when you turn the ignition on to start the engine all the lights go off, handbrake obviously...

I stripped one down years ago . I think from memory there were 4 concave washers. They were an absolute b*****d to get back together. Never again lol.

I had a 306 S16 and that had the same calipers.
