    Guide: How to remedy the sticky interior trim, quick and cheap.

    Hey guys, bit of a help here, I took apart the AC control box to clean it and in the circuit board compartment I found this orange plastic thing. Any idea where it should sit?

It was a pain till I found out how to remove the motor, fortunately I looked at the new one a d figured it out lol.. Tip : if the motor axle that protrudes to the outside has some play in it...

    Wheel Spacers on Track

    Bumpy bump! Ok so it's clear they won't fall of if done properly and if any scrub occurs you can sort it somehow (chop the arches i don't know) What I'm concerned is they will ruin the scrub radius and it will alter what renault did well in the first place.. Or is the extra track width...

    BIG help needed- rear ABS sensor!

    Well.... the guy that promised me the ate sensor just gave my money back as his supplier canceled his order...... The triscan sensor is nowhere to be found either, it's out of stock everywhere on multiple autoparts stores across EU and UK also. FInding a second hand part is virtually impossible...

    BIG help needed- rear ABS sensor!

    For two hour I'm on the phone with various suppliers and no joy. Renault have discontinued to make this part, ATE appears to have done the same. Where am I supposed to find the damn thing? It's a 2005 car not 1958 ffs :(( found this thread...

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    lol yeah... instead of the std ones I'd better live with the noisier solid ones and replace the bearings once every couple of years. The previous ones lasted around 5 years before one of them started to develop a play in it

    K-tec solid mounts bearing change + GAZ GHA shock service

    Hi guys, Did some diy work on the car yesterday and wanted to share some stuff here also. The mounts: As you can see I have the old style k-tec solid mounts. Thanks to some lovely chaps here I found the right bearings to replace - SKF GEH20C. There are other options on the market (even...

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    hmmm are yours the new style black anodised ones? Mine are the old gold design and can't remember them having those washers

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    What do these standsrd washers look like? don't remember seeing them in my mounts. Only visible componets are the mount body, the bearing pressed inside and the retaining circlip

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    Yeah I know that but I'm about to throw some 600 quid into other repairs. Paying 70 for 2 bearings plus 40 for transport to my country is 110. This is nearly the cost of the PMS mounts for example which is a bit too much now. That's why I'm trying to find replacement bearings locally at a...

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    One of the k tec ones has a play in the bearing, so wanna take it off and start looking for a replacement bearing set. Untill then I would be using the std ones

    Replacing Top Mounts - correct info?

    Hey @STEVE.M I am currently running the k tec solid mounts and I'm thinking I might go for the std ones untill I'm gonna find replacement bearings for the solid ones. Question is.. That stepped spacer you mention.. Is it included in the febi kit because I'm not sure that I kept old parts from...

    Mounting rear springs

    Strange one this is, can't you push the rear beam so that it opens up and create more space for the springs to fit? Std springs are taller so the beam is definitely designed to create a bigger gap

    Smoke when flooring it

    It used not to drink oil between services untill I tried many years ago the motul 300v. After 3-4k the dipstick showed minimum oil. And since then it started to use oil. That was a bit strange. Anyway, I guess I should have been more careful when I dynoed the car last year, would been able to...

    Smoke when flooring it

    Hi guys, I have seen this over the years (have the car since 2006) but thought it's not a big deal so far (still hope it's not!) Seen this the other night most recently when a Porsche macan pushed me from behind, 2nd gear foot down and a cloud of smoke in his headlights was visible. Couldn't...

    Replacing Ktec Top Mounts - Leftover holes..

    I have the exact same setup - gaz gha plus gold k tec mounts - and the suspensios knocks like sh*t! I don't think the remaining holes will create a problem but I wold get them corrosion protected somehow before the ast. Funny thing is that couple of mechanics looked at the car and weren't able...

    Track Day Wheels & Tyres

    Bump on this old thread.. After all.. People running 195 50 tyres for trackdays, is this size better handling wise versus thet 205 45 16 let's say? Or is it purely a cost of tyres thing? Cup racers run the 15's but are they for cost saving or does that size really performs better? What I want...
