Renaults are sh!t. I find that it is like a game of hide and seek. Whenever a set of spanners are even remotely near by, something breaks and I then have to find it, when I do, it costs me even more money.

Could be promising. I'll see what I can dig out of the garage. I just need to watch the corners with the weight in the rear. I went a bit wild testing the new springs and split a bottle of Coke on the front seat runner, the car smells like a sugar factory now.

3x bags of plaster you say eh Mark? A little pikey but if it works. How does it look in comparison to the bullet?

Pins on that ho' ^^^. That looks more like it. Does the height on mine look about right for day 1 of fitment? I hope to god they settle down as I've just sold the Apex. More pics would be great.

Cheers guys, it does need a clean but it won't stop raining. Do you have any side on pic's of yours Gweebs?

Never seen a drop. Biggest change was when I haggled my last premium.

That's as low as mine was on Apex. I hope it gets to that level. I need some fat birds for the back seat.

I didn't notice yesterday but have just checked and yes you can. Good stuff.

I certainly hope so. Have you got a side on of yours to compare? As good as the Apex were, the ride wasn't the best. I counted 5 coils on the Apex and 7 on the Eibachs. I think standard is only 6.

After much fun yesterday and finding a split inner CV boot, the springs are now swapped. I'm not entirely convinced by the rear but the front doens't look to have changed. The ride is much improved, possibly better than standard and the handling seems to be just as good. I miss the lowness...

Magic. I need to have a good look at the new shaft when it arrives on Tuesday.

Cheers Sami, where is the roll pin? I can see the cylindrical section of the shaft half way down. There is then a plate bolted just behind this then the shaft carries on into the box.

Magic, cheers Dave. Just found out I can get a full new shaft for £78 exchange so going to go with that option. Just need to work out removal.

Any idea on the gaitor Josh, where from etc?

Any ideas anyone? Do I have to drop the gearbox oil?

Hanging off you're every word here Frederico. I'd prefer the repair option. How exactly does the drive shaft come out. I can pull it in and out but it won't pop. Is there a circlip or roll pin anywhere? Is the boot a Renault only job?

Process involved Fred? What's it going to cost me?

Now then guys. I'm in the process of swapping springs on mine and a mates Clio and I noticed my drivers side drive shaft boot has split. It is the boot that is half way along the shaft and mates to a metal cylinder containing bearings. How do I go about removing the shaft? I have unbolted...

^^^Constructive. Whack it on the back mate. Will be fine.

They're good cars and can punch above their weight but are easily beaten in a straight line. Where are you in Leeds?

The best of both worlds.

So HC's etc won't go up come MOT time?

How is this likely to effect emmissions?

You whip the interior out then fit a spare wheel, that's not hardcore ;)

The best option for a 172: By len_beach, shot with PDR-T20 at 2007-06-12 By len_beach, shot with PDR-T20 at 2007-06-12

Megane 1.6 fitted with Clio 1.2 engine then replaced with 172 engine. Later fitted with Clio shell and interior and a few bodywork tweaks.

Cheers guys. Have you still got the strut top washers in as well Fred?

Looks like junk to me. I'll look forward to the how2.

You only need a mate to hand if you have girls arms Ali ;)
