Track rod ends changed. Really simple job to do. The old ones were awful and had so much play in them! However there is still a grumbling noise. So it is time to change the front wheel bearing tomorrow I really need to take more progress photos during tinkering!!

Replaced both track rod ends. Step dad says they were the worst he has ever seen. Tbh they were shocking!!! However car is still making a horrible noise, probably the front wheel bearing

Thanks! That photo is from when they were fresh. I would say green, it will look nice. Maybe Focus RS green......??

I hear you say Focus ST Orange (actually Ford Electric Orange). Don't need a photoshop, just look at mine! Yep, it is ST Orange. However they need doing again as break dust has sort of eaten them away. Ideally need >2 spray cans per wheel. Next time, of if you want to do it I would say powder...

Don't be boring. Go green. I have seen a Ph1 172 with bright green wheels. That was cool. I have bright orange. It's brilliant. Because race car.

My track rod ends are...ummm.....beyond useable condition (without using any faul language!). The end bit circled on both sides have the play in, can move the wheel a good inch without moving the steering wheels. I am hoping this is the cause of the grumbling noise otherwise it is the wheel...

Is there a grumbling noise? My car is making an awful grumbling noise but that could be because my track rod ends are fubar'd, it is a job for the weekend. I wondered why it was a bit funny sometimes. Had about 5deg of play in both front wheels. I also need to have a look at the rear shocks as...

Mine has got to a point where it needs a little bit of money spending on it this summer: * Coolant flush * Break fluid flush - maybe some braided lines * Possible new front discs and pads to go with the rears I have just put on. * Think the rear suspension is going - I see it as an excuse for...

Found out the bumper is missing a bolt ffs I see this summer is going to be expensive for my car

I have got a bit of a knocking noise coming from the rear left corner. I know I have a rattling exhasut but this is a little different, or could it be an exhaust still? Started the other weelk when I changed the rear discs and pads. I have put the anti-rattling retaining springs to the pads...

I need them in my life. Possibly a job for the summer.

Won't the car need waxing after if you have removed all of the crap from it? And is it the G3 detailing spray used as a lubricant? Does this give better results or just soapy water as @LiquidYellDan has just said do the same job?

Yeah looks like a good finish. I would be interested in getting something like this.

It makes such a difference. I think it's all about the small details that can make a car, like the head light condition and back to black on the trim. Shame my bumper needs a re-paint

Mine has similar problems, like a hesitation when accelerating from low revs in 4th. I had a dodgy connection on on of my plugs. Also happened to my stepdad when he owned the car before me and he changed an injector as that was faulty. So try the connections to the plugs and the injectors.

If I could get a bath and a boot lid from a Triumph 2000 (not at the same time though) in my old Fiat Cinquecento then I would thought a Clio boot will take a bonnet!!

They look smart. I would personally go for them over the Turinis as they are a little different.

It's done! Says you are a "ClioSport Club Member" under your name.

Seen a few with sun strips, getting one is seriously tempting! But need a new windscreen first as mine is cracked and chipped :tired:

You get access to certain areas with the memebrship, I think the classified section too, which is where I have bought and sold a few spares from. it is worth spending the money on,
