am going to take the wheel off later and check the clamp round the anti roll bar, im assuming that is done up tight to clamp the roll bar?

well that's not what I wanted, took the car for a drive this morning, first time after doing the wishbone and its making a loud bang/bonk. seems to be when doing a full steering lock or a tightish turn. what can you get wrong when doing a wishbone?

yeah, had the whole of the front end on axil stands

was looking forward to seeing this thread, then none of the photos worked :( fail...

wishbone done and my horrible creaking noise has gone :) took me 3 hours, went pretty well no major issues. one stubborn bolt but got it out in the end. getting the antiroll bar (thing that's what it is) back was a bit of a b**ch. the rubber on the end is a bit twisted but its in suppose I...

The bolt that seems to clamp the metal around the actual ball joint on the end of the wish bone, I'm assuming I need to remove this? It's fooking solid and won't budge

I just like things to work, so would be nice to get it sorted but its not life or death granted

take the wheel off spray the wish bone joints with wd40 and see if it goes away

think i probably have the same issue, i blieve my wish bone needs replacing. one of the rubber joints has gone i sprayed the joints with wd40 and it went away so pretty certain its my wish bone

not a problem, thanks for the links.

thanks for being so helpful and friendly

So where can I get the correct wish bone from at a sensible price?

nope, completely snapped

cos the motor isn't the issue, I have broken plastic

not sure that photo is a 182, but yeah I get the bit about removing fabric

I did wonder that. im assuming then some of the bolts can be accessed from under the car to remove the fabric?

bugger, ok thanks ill take it back

I'm assuming you have to remove this radiator? Even the the plastic unit seems far bigger than the hole

I've removed all the bolts I can see and the whole air unit is lose, but I can't actually get it out. Has anyone removed one before who can offer some advice?

heres the one ive got it cost me £30 and it does take a 12mm bolt

Bump

just went to my local parts place to pick up a new wish bone for the 182. the chap was very helpful, he said only one supplier stocked a wish bone for a 182 and according to them the 182 wish bone is the same as a standard clio wish bone. he said which is odd as other places listed normal clio...

Rubbish why do these things have to go wrong. I will look into it at the weekend and see what's what

that explains a lot, ill have a look weekend. how hard is it to fit a whole new flap system? some of the bolts look fookers to get to

if anyone wants one, there is one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-2006-RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-1-1-AC-Regulator-Motor-664844F-B-/131329338952?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e93d6ae48

ok so went in and got the actuator a moment ago. fully sealed and not meant to be opened but I did interesting once out and I applied power to it, it worked just find. took a multi meter to the connector and im only getting 5.5v out of the connector. the actual flap is not stuck in...

My As seemed fine and moved ok, I didnt notice any issues. So your not selling one of yours for 40?

f**k me 163.... I wish I had of taken mine out now and taken it to bits to see whats actually wrong with it. will give ya a tenner for one :)

so where can you buy just the actuator cos I cant find one on ebay?

so as we speak im here - im assuming this is the flap in question - i turned the car on and tried the button and nothing, flap doesnt move. im assuming having the fan and bits unplugged wont stop it from working? how do you replace it?
