I used silicone spray and thoroughly cleaned mine, after doing it half arsed all the time and getting no where, doing as Danlp6 describes, it fixed it.

It will be the speedo sensor as mentioned above, it's actually harder to see on a 1.2 8v than it is a 2.0 (lol) but it is in the same place.
To remove it you twist a quarter turn or similar, very easy to change and only about £25 from Renault.
If you want a hand and are ever over this side of...
Awesome! I didn't see one the whole time I was in NZ the year before last, hope you enjoy it mate, not sure if you're our first NZ member? Hopefully someone else will know!
Welcome to the club.
I changed the passenger side, they're very easy to check though, i.e its quite obvious if one has gone, and tbh this certainly doesn't feel like a balljoint.
I think I might just take it to a mechanic for a diagnosis, what I do about it from there is up to me I suppose.
Car drives straight yeah, but since doing the balljoint the wheel is off centre, (just needs tracking, but need to fix this knock before I get that done)
As for why I only changed one, I'd change bigger parts in pairs, but something like a balljoint I didn't think it was at all essential to do...
I'm waiting on Kam racing to send me some bushes for my dog bone mount, then I'll get both GB mounts changed. (hopefully this week)
Only thing is, why would the gearbox mounts make the steering wheel jump?
What did it turn out to be mate?
I changed the ball joint on one side because it was quite clearly worn, made sure I used the 12mm bolts though, there was no play in the otherside, so I didn't think to check the bolt sizes, but I will, cheers.
I'm skint at the moment, serious reducing of student overdraft/bank troubles, so...
Nope, it's 1 single knock, not something bouncing off something, i'm quite certain it's something shifting under the weight of the car.
It knocks when you pull off, pretty much every time, and sometimes when braking.
Last time I checked it, the rod was fine, I couldn't undo it to replace it though, so it's still sitting on my dining room table... lol!
Hopefully in the next week I can replace the dogbone and that.
Engine or bushes on the wishbone etc?
Thought it had all been a bit quiet in here!!
Passenger ride's sound epic, I want in! :(
The ride height and suit may be fine, but you didn't mention what size seat you guys have put in? ;)
Gonna check out the wishbones tmrw, would do it now but I'm feeling lazy.
It'll go to two tech's in the week one night when I can get away from work a bit early.
Not hard to take out at all once you've got the rooflining off.
The sunroof itself (the glass) just comes off (well it did on my ph1 pop up one) I don't know what style your ph2 one is.
Yes the roof linings will be interchangeable, but it may be necessary to cut a hole in the ph1 one, were the...
Cheers for trying to help mate, I didn't mean to come off as arsey if I did.
The coilovers are so low that you can see all of the thread and the lip whilst everything is in it's current place, no need to move them, so it's definately not that mate.
Well I had to say hello sweetie ;)
Replace...
Good work Bristol, must say I preferred the look of the f1's but function over looks n all that.
Hopefully you'll stop being a woman and use the poxy thing!
