I'd go for Rainsports 3's . I've been running them and Rainsports 2's for the past few years now . Fantastic grip in the wet , some people don't like them in the dry but I've never had a problem with them when pushing on . The wear rate is s**t , but I can live with that knowing how well they...

You don't have anywhere in Portugal that can mix paint ? Maybe you could try Autopaints ? https://www.auto-paint.co.uk/

It's the first time I've seen it mentioned on here too.

No , just this small puddle of water . It does seem like it's been trickling from where I said . I've just been and dried it off and put some sealant around it . I'll monitor it and see if it's better. Like I said before . I sealed the grommets years ago when I had water coming intto the boot ...

I'm 99% certain it's coming from there , when I press it a litttle bit of water comes out . It's just a small puddle of water. I sealed the black grommets years ago. I'll put some sealant around it when it stops pissing down and see if that cures it . I never knew what they were , thanks :up:

There does seem to be a bit of play in the bearing . I'm not sure if thats normal or the cause of your grinding problem . I fitted original discs/ bearings a couple of years ago and don't recall the bearing having play like that. @bloke or somebody else might come along and might be able to give...

I know there's been umpteen posts about water inside the car over the years , in various places . I noticed over the weekend a small puddle of water under the rear passenger seat . It sems to be coming from this " metal bung/cap " or whatever it actually is . My question is . What is this bung...

It might just be the " cheap " discs / bearings you've fitted . They're not a make that people usually go for . Did you fit the spacer behind the disc ? If you didn't this could be cause of the problem with the bearing. @George@RTR_Parts...

Another thumbs up from me for Mick at Diamond motors :up: . It's a 6 hour round trip for me but well worth it. As northloop says , it'll look alot better on your service history if Mick does it rather than a friend .

Try swapping the lambda sensors round . Could be your Cats knackered or blocked . I saw one on here not that long ago that was blocked . If you do a search you might find it.

Why not just make some ramps ? I made some about 20 years ago out of 18mm plywood, they're solid as a rock. I made them to suit my car , length , height etc ...... job done .

I find them good in the snow too . I've just got home from my g/f's and the side roads are covered in snow , crept up a big hill to my house in 2nd gear no problem :smile:

I was assuming FF182 with cup packs ? Most usually are. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Renault-Clio-Sport-172-182-Scenic-Megane-amp-Twingo-LH-Track-Rod-End-/281697000271 Lemforder are decent quality and a bit cheaper . Have a look for a discount code for Euro car parts...

Just a suggestion for your profile pic :wink:

If they can't manage that , God knows what the rest of their work is like. Any decent garage would have done that without hesitation . The least they could have done was phone the OP and tell them.

Exactly . Sounds like a shite garage to me .

Sounds like you've still got air in the system. Why didn't the garage remove the broken bleed nipples and replace them ? Sounds like a lazy garage to me . Get some stainless bleed nipples . They won't shear off ...

I doubt very much the spring will have broken if its a genuine Renault spring, they're very strong . The bolt through the spring might have rusted away pulling through the hole in the exhaust manifold making it loose ? I've had loads rust over the years . I'd start with getting this end of the...

Standard centre hanger. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Twingo-Genuine-Centre-Exhaust-Mount-Rubber-Bracket-7700424341/271777361477?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A2.0+16V+Sport&epid=645819199&hash=item3f47316e45:g:DUAAAMXQVT9S-2ba Somebody used to sell these polyurethane hangers . It...

Heat shield come loose and rattling ? It might have got disturbed when fitting the new exhaust .

That's exactly what I do . In fact did this morning . Half a bottle of redex into half a tank and took my car for a 30 min hard drive to make sure it was up to temp. Whether the redex actually works or not I don't know, but definitely make sure the engine is up to temp . Mine passed :smile:

Tell me about it . Annoyed as f**k . I'd been driving a wagon all day with ultra light steering , so just put it down to the Clios heavier steering . Only when I got home did I noticed how flat it was . The RS3s are very thin though on the shoulder/ sidewall . You can easily feel your fingers...

Just a word of warning . I've been running RS3's since they were launched so I'm used to a little bit of a squirmy feeling when newly fitted, but love the tyres . Just don't ever run them underinflated . I had a slow puncture last week , ran it for an hour and wondered why the steering felt...

They do feel a bit strange at first , up the pressures a couple of psi. Plus they need a few miles to scrub in . I'm on my 4th set , previously RS2's . The wear rate is shite , but they stick like s**t to a blanket in the wet .

Gorgeous lookin' car. No wonder you're sad to see it go .

You sure it's the boot floor ? What condition is the centre exhaust hanger in ? It might be hitting underneath the car here if it's knackered .

Have you checked the " parts for sale " ? Somebodys breaking a 172 Cup . Or maybe put a post in the wanted section . Sometimes people have parts they don't need but they haven't advertised them. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/clio-172-cup-breaking.815009/#post-11543827

Thats looks spot on . :smile:I thought Mondial Blue would be a better match than Arctic Blue . You'll just have to keep your eye out for some Mondial Blue side trims now .

What did they say on the phone ? Any luck ?
