We have unbranded thread locker at work but it's industrial. I was thinking of putting permanent ones on, but wanted to double check.

What are people using as thread locker? Medium or permanent strength? @dann2707 @Cub. @RMDavis @M.C. and anybody else who's done a conversion.

No mate, all normal in the back. Well apart from this noise!

I'd need to do it again to be sure but I "think" it's coming from the gearbox end of the shaft.

Yes. It drives normally as it should. It only does it on one turn on my whole commute (20+ miles) and we drove it yesterday quite far with no issues. I only noticed this noise yesterday with the wheels being straight when I jacked it up to clean the wheels. Other than that it's fine apart from...

I was thinking either driveshaft or CV joint. Unfortunately I don't really know what it is. Could be gearbox, different, etc. That's why I took the video rather than trying to explain. Hopefully someone clarify.

I've only noticed this when I turn into work. It's a sharp left. Any other time and it's fine. However I jacked the car up yesterday and it does it whist there was no load on the wheel. It sounds like spokey dokies you used to have on your bike as a kid. (Or a playing card if you didn't have...

I got some high tensile ones in the end, with allen key heads. I went for 75mm on the rears (I don't run any spacers as my wheels are et38) and 82mm on the fronts, as I'll be running 16mm spacers.

Haha, it's OK I have @MrBlonde shocks and cooksports that im borrowing!

@bloke Yeah that has been mentioned. Also longer springs have also been mentioned. I'm ging to swap the rears over with standard shocks/cooksports to see if it's still there. This will clarify if it's shock related or not. @OssPoop It's definitely not the trim. That would be heard/seen from...

No it can all be removed. All you need to do is bung up the pipe that goes from the inlet to the acoustic valve, otherwise you'll have an air leak/high revs.

Perfect! I can still go ahead and get it aligned in the morning then. I wont ever be adding camber/toe. Maybe 5mm hub spacer but not yet. I just didnt want to pay to have the car aligned then have to remove the rear shocks then get it aligned again. I dont really want to be driving longer than...

Ive planned to have the car aligned tomorrow but as some of you may know, i have a knocking rear somewhere. My question is: If i have the alignment done and then i need to adjust/remove my rear shocks, will this alter it? Vaguely remember reading the rear is fixed so this wont be an issue, but...

Ive never had an issue with them before. I know there is better out there but i cant say its these for sure. They are tight. Just out of interest do you now the correct torque setting?

I've checked everything and it's all tight and as it should be. Is there a chance it's actually the new shocks? This is the coilover type as opposed to the separate shock/spring.

Nope.

Better! Just read the above comments about prices to there women! That's OK, but unfortunately my misses knows how much all this sh*t costs so I can't even lie! It's like the council, 1 work and 2 watch!!

I will say its louder/more noticeable on the passenger side over the drivers, but it is coming from both.

They are brand new Mark! They came with the brand new set of coilovers that was purchased/arrived this week.

Video 1 & 2 is around our area, video 3 is around a nearby industrial estate then on the road and turning into our area. You can hear it well on 40ish seconds upwards on video 3.

Its a loose, knocking noise and i dont know what it is or even where its coming from. Car has had new discs (genuine) with all new spacers correctly fitted and done up to the correct setting. 175nm. It has brand new Gaz "full" coilovers all round. I have fitted them fully, and i even removed...

Piss easy mate. Remove the front bumper, unplug the acoustic valve from the plug, (that can be cable tied away) and remove the air pipe. This can be cut down but it needs to be plugged up with a bolt or something as itll create a air leak. I cut mine down, fed it through the engine hoist cradle...

They must be Tim. I wonder if anybody has had a real and replica one side by side to compare?

I have a replica spoiler Mike, so I just n3ed standard clio ones.

:up::up:

I have no idea!! Mine has a rep on it for sure and i need tailgate struts. How can you tell which ones what?

This thread needs more pics!!

@optical What do you mean by primered?

@flebay So just standard clio tailgate struts?

What I meant was I remember reading the BMW ones range for genuine but I'm unsure if the reps are the same.
