Dead at work so we’re putting the time to good use and practicing Cadwell ready for the summer. 😂

I just fill the kettle up with cold water. Pour on, drive off.

I think it’s absolutely w**k. I’d never own anything like that. But, I have such admiration for people that do their own thing and (from the limited pics) it looks to have been done by some very talented people.

Good evening all! @lemonnobby summoned me to his ramp this evening for a good look over of the car. We’ve come up with a list of parts needed and nothing we found scared either of us so that’s good… Cambelt Kit, aux belt kit, dephaser, oil, air, pollen and fuel filters, all shocks and...

Jack the rear end up and spin the wheel up. If it’s still sticking he hasn’t fixed it. If it’s grumbling the bearing is shagged. also, hold the wheel at 3 and 9 o clock. Rock the wheel. Then do the same at 12 and 6 o clock. if you’ve got any movement the bearing is buggered.

I can’t believe you deployed that so soon.

Jesus, bet that’s a cheap fix! 😂

That’s a Renault traffic locking wheel nut bag. 100%.

When you did the plugs and the leads, did you do the coil pack too?

Both mine have them. And my main one will have the solid black sunstrip it currently has, plus an extra 4-5 inches of tint come the spring. #blindedbythelight

Before you throw parts at it left right and centre, get it plugged in to a proper Clip machine. where are you located? We can point you in the right direction. my money is on injectors and/or Lamda.

Bring a crash helmet and something to bite down on. X

@McGherkin uses them iirc.

If I was you (and assuming you’re in this for the long haul) I would get it up on axel stands and get the rear beam, fuel tank, side skirts and exhaust off. assess the situation properly. if repairing all of that is beyond you, get someone in to cut out and weld in all the new metal, then you...

Välkommen till klubben Jeffrey!

Scenic Steels are for champions!

If it’s got that hot it’s probably cooked the wheel bearing as well. as said, sticky caliper.

Got a new one in the office, much more manly, and seems extremely well built. It’s actually exhausting to play as the steering is so fight, the seat chucks you around and the butt kicker rattles your teeth out. I don’t know how some people play them for hours. I’m done in after 20 minutes!

I was thinking that. Take it off and put it in the glovebox. Put it back on when I sell it. After @Ant1 selling it for £150, I don’t want this one getting damaged or go walkies!

@Brigsy - I used this for a looooong road trip last week. Did nearly 70mpg! (Think it was 68.8??) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Dynamique-S-Dci-86-Long-MOT-Pan-Roof-30-Tax-60-mpg-/255286004762?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I think they are...

They’re in the car and they’re not broken. I have no idea why they aren’t fitted 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s really really poor. I did my apprenticeship in a machine shop and our tolerances whilst we were using the machines for the first time were stricter than what you’ve actually paid for!

Just dropped it off to the lord and master of RenaultSport. very much looking forward to driving it back as I’ve not driven it yet. (Zero history of the belt being done! 😂)

First thing I looked for when I went to view it. 😂

The rear wings were blended when they did the sills, and that’s the bit that is blistering. Which is a shame as the blend is flawless (to 99.9% of people) and if it wasn’t for the blisters I probably wouldn’t be doing any paint at all. But they definitely need doing and the bumper has some minor...

I’ll also get a new bonnet catch… 😂 And here are the current tyres… 🤮 and here is the blistering on the wings. Can’t have that. and the reason I bought it…

Afternoon all! I thought I’d get a little project thread going as once it’s done it will probably be for sale as since buying it, I’ve had a change of heart and no longer want to hoard as many cars as I have. So here goes… 69,000 miles, completely standard, 2 pervious owned and a little bit...

Michealwood Services is grim for the other 364 days a year mate I promise you.

@Luke_Exc - see if any 24h petrol stations (or similar) have those little ratchet straps for suitcases. I have been known to use one of those on a gearbox mount before. We only moved it around the yard but if you’re gentle it may do the trick to get you home.

Many years ago, on my original Ph1, I had a crack in my mount. I thought it was normal. 😂 @Christopher duly educated me however.
