SKF from Autodoc. German quality :-)

Just to close this thread up and for reference, I went for the SKF 732mm long driveshaft offside for my Clio 172 Phase 1, and its great. This was after the Tech guy fitted a Shaftec one, which he was assured would fit my Phase 1, but didnt, and he had to replace it The info I was given was as...

anyone know of decent engine oil sites? Eurocarparts aren't any cheaper than usual

ooopps, that should have been all 172 and 182`s are 23 T spline.

Please find the following advice from someone other than me :-) I have now noticed that Autodoc have it listed as 402027463R, which is the 172/182 hub with the wheel bearing that has an ID of 37mm AND 7700830220, which is the 182 Cup hub, that has a wheel bearing ID of 40mm. It would be best...

seems like wrong size issued by Shaftec, even though my Tech went through it with them to ensure it would fit a Phase 1

Ive gotta say M90SR that Steve has been so much help on this issue, he's been a Godsend. He understood every issue I was complaining about, and his advice to me was copied to the Technician who did the work for me, and it has helped him out no end too. (So my Tech should receive a correct size...

Having had the drivers/offside driveshaft replaced on my 172 phase 1 , 20k miles and 3 years ago, I wasn't too surprised that it started clonking and banging merrily a couple weeks ago I did a bit of research and found several suppliers of a new driveshaft, some recommended, and some NOT, but...

LOL. But have you anything to contribute?

Just had my drivers side driveshaft on my 172 Phase 1 replaced , (Reconditioned shaft i believe) and getting the rumbling sound when reasonably fast cornering. Thought it was tyre at first, but checked the pressures. Will change the wheels at weekend see if that helps- could it be the replaced...

I too took it elsewhere, to Setyres, up on the lift, waited 15 mins for exhaust to cool down, out in my supplied BOSCH sensor, £20 Couldn't complain

probably go for this one as it is detailed in another thread as a recommended one to use for O/S 172 (Non Cup) Phase 1 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/skf/13837

Wont tell them I use n track, but with a half cage, and mostly stripped out interior I reckon they may be suspicious Still, will go see them anyway- I havent had any problems with it till now, so it mustav fitted correctly Fancy doing it meself, but worried that the part I get wont fit

I see the J & R offside driveshafts get slated for not fitting Anyone any comment on this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Drive-Shaft-Front-RH-Renault-Clio-2-0-Mk2-Phase-1-98-02-With-ABS/221478144201

Got the original receipt and it quotes SHAR209AR Gonna go have a chat with them tomorrow, see what they say...…….. Bet its "Been on the car 3 years, done 20kmiles and you use it on the track- you takes yer chances mate" But yet the one the other side been fine, never touched it in 3 years?

so anyone on the getgo for where to get a correct size OS driveshaft for a 172 Phase 1 non cup? JnR decent price on ebay at £60 odd, but if they dont fit...………………..

Took it to kwik fit for a free drive in inspection Drivers side knackered. not sure if to have a go myself with axle stands et al, or just get them to do it (Only had it done professionally 3 year ago, 20k miles - that sound right?) Inner ARB bushes knackered too

do you remove gearbox oil when replacing nearside driveshaft?

Appreciate there are stacks threads on the driveshaft issue After going over some sort of hole/bump on a country road, which was covered by leaves, I now have the odd clicky/clunky sound on accel/decal occasionally, and a good old shaky car over 40mph I am guessing its a driveshaft unless...

All I can say is I bit the bullet and purchased a whole "small car kit" from these guys: https://www.matt-pack.co.uk/car-kits-c102x3371356 All in, bcos I upgraded to the earlex gun it cost about £240 with 8 litres of dip When the kit arrived I wasn't that impressed, so supposed all the...

^ LOL

Just bought some blaze orange, blaze blue, and blaze green (Small amounts) so I can play around with the wheel colour- suggestions which colour 1st up? Couple things to comment on since car was sparyed up over 6 weeks ago: The paintwork looked like it gets sort of "bruised" for a couple of...

After reading this thread, chuffed I have a BTB exhaust fitted on my 172 Also got a Sports cat on it too, and sounds real good My question is, does anyone know what the whole system is made of? I would have guessed Stainless steel, but looking at my pipe exit as seen in the photo, dont look...

Can either peel off, clean the car, then re-apply alternative colour- or spray over Yes- there is a matt grey

The matt is really nice effect- even better the colour can be changed pretty easy every year. I really enjoyed doing it too, except removing 3 yr old decals with a hairdryer..... Cleaning and prep is key

# You wouldnt get that finish with cans- and itd be a lot of cans Used a compressor/sprayer and about 6 litres

Spent about 14hrs doing this last weekend 3 hrs removing decals 4 hrs cleaning and masking everything up/ removing some stuff 6hrs spraying (2 coats roughly every hour) 1 hour removing masking and replacing some parts I love it, looks nice and mean, and good coverage in 99% of car, and...
