Try giving it a bash then mate. Use a soft hammer to do it though. Every one I've done before has had a clip though mate, but as you rightly say, there's nowhere to get down the joint.

I bought my recaro bucket seats direct from them. They're in Leicester. Real good company to deal with!

Look further inside the joint mate. There's a circlip about 1" down the the shaft, inside the joint. They are definitely not hammer off joints. Give it a good clean out inside the joint mate, you will see the circlip.

The cv joints are held on with a circlip mate. I use a set of needle nose pliers to get them off usually. They're a bit tricky at times, but once you get the hang of it they're easy enough.

It's the cv joint mate that dies. Yes it's the hub end where you want no play as well mate. If you've got no play in the cv joint you had replaced last year, get that swapped over. You can't buy the cv joints seperate for these cars which is a ball ache tbh (or you can actually, but I can't...

Recaro pole positions!! The most comfortable bucket seat you will ever find! I drive from the uk over to Germany in mine, and do the driving in one hit. The only time I stop is for fuel and the euro tunnel crossing. That's a 10hr + drive for me, and not once have they given me a numb arse or...

If you grab the shaft and pull it inwards and out wards, if it moves in/out at the wheel end (cv joint) then its knackered mate. Easiest way to tell I find.

It would certainly help in keeping geometry and steering angles more constant Tony.

The idle speed is set to 1200rpm mate, so the lumpy idle isn't an issue.

Ah the joys of running a cup and the majority of it not being there in the first place! :lolup:

Both adjusted mate. Inlet is advanced and exhaust is retarded. And getting hold of the full grp n tool is nigh on impossible! I struck lucky and I was considering getting some reproduced as well.

Yes mate. All a grp n engine is in reality is a standard engine that's had the tolerances machined/adjusted to the closest/best they can be. Ie: the cams in a grp n car will have been ground as close to tolerance as possible, and gain maybe a few thou lift. Not much granted, but in terms of...

That's why renault knocked the exhaust cam back a touch, to keep them alive at the top end. That's on the full grp n settings of course. When mines alive again I will be able to give a report back as to how much it holds on as I've got the full grp n tool and the grp n ecu to match. Assuming...

Re: Nylon steering rack bushes I'd be interested in a set of these Kenny.

Speedo drive on the gearbox is more than likely up the swanny mate to cause the speedo fault. Easy enough to replace though. Your reverse light fault could be the switch on the gearbox, a wiring fault or a uch fault. Not 100% certain that the uch has any involvement in the reverse lights...

The choice of heroes........ Lol! I'm not biased of course!!

Nice and tidy job that!

The biggest expense involved in the Quaife, in fact any diff for the 1*2's, is because the diff has to be machined up from a larger piece of steel. The frenchies design ain't the best either tbh, but that comes as very little surprise! Lol

Yeah would've been about 6:45 ish. You wouldn't have noticed me as I was in my daily driver golf mate.

That's just down the road from me! Lol! I saw you on Friday morning as well. On the sainsburys bypass.

It would probably look better if the bumper strip was colour coded to the bodywork tbh. It would make it a bit less 'visible' if you get what I mean?

Well the offer is there for anyone who wants to bring theirs to me! Providing it's easily accessible (preferably dash out) I'll happily do it. No worries mate, glad to have advised/helped you with yours! Have you tried your obd port to make sure it communicates with the engine management and...

Lol! Tbf, I could actually do this as a 'while you wait' service! If the loom was fully accesible I'd say it would take no longer than 2-3 hours. That includes taping it all up again and making it tidy. Glad you got on ok with yours this time around mate.

You have to remove the rear bumper to get the insert out mate, or at least that's what I had to do. It's secured with some plastic weld/heated and melted plastic. Easy enough to do though. I tried to lever mine out but it was marking the insert/bumper.

I run a redtop 25 on my cup with no issues at all mate.

Yep I've had mine do this as well! Happened on the way to the ring and my mate who was riding shotgun said, "wtf's knocking? It doesn't sound good", I replied with stop being a paranoid homosexual!! Only to look a right bell end when I stopped for fuel and had a quick check!!! Lol! In my defence...

It's a shame none of you guys live closer to me, otherwise I'd have done your looms for you. I've stripped mine back and removed all unwanted wiring/components. The obd port was retained and I can still access everything via that.

Cv boots are available from Renault. That's where I got mine from after being told "you need a complete driveshaft mate, they're x amount of £'s". I think my reply of you can f**k right off was possibly not appreciated! Lol There are 3 different inner boots listed as well FYI, and it comes up...

A bit of toe out on the rear helps with turn in on a Clio. I've run it on mine, but currently running a small amount of toe in. Have to keep it safe for when my wife drives the car on track! You'll only have big handling issues if you put a lot of toe out on the rear as well. Iirc mine was set...

Who do you use for your geometry setup mate? I have tracking gauges and camber gauges! ;)
