Been a while since an update, and there's isn't a huge lot to report. I finished university which has been a big thing, with my graduation next month! 3 years has flown. Car wise, I've got my hands on a scenic shifter which I'm going to modify into my own BMS style (Shorter shift, stiffen mod...

I went for the j & r ones which include the fitting cone. I'll let you know how I get on. Probably update my thread with it but it'll be Monday at the earliest. Injected some grease into my boots as a precaution the the splits aren't huge or leaking grease badly.

Spotted in huddersfield earlier about 2 minutes apart

Mine did this after I loosened off the nut on the negative terminal leading to the earth moving around. Tightened it up, and no more worries.

Just the turn the switch around mate

Doesn't need anything. It should be fine. If you want sticky stuff anywhere it's on the front edge

Great videos mate. Can't wait to get on track myself! How many times you been out now?

Eh

I'd forgotten about him.

Why do you want low mileage out of interest? How low are we talking? 83k was fairly low last time I checked!

Survived the scrappage scheme sticker would need to go first.

Alright mate, i'll do it this way then, really don't want to drop my oil as it's not very old. Nearly pulled the shaft out when doing the balljoints before but manage to shift it back in without losing any oil.

Pretty sure when I did my ABS rings, I didn't loosen or remove the balljoint. Managed to swing it out away from the hub IIRC.

Thats a plan. Could probably get away with just loosening them?

Sounds good! Will do just that. When it comes to removing my shafts, can I get away with just removing the caliper/bottom shock bolts and then pulling the shaft to the side or do I need to remove the balljoints too? I just changed those today, and not wanting to damage the boots.

Is the spoiler wrapped too? Make it silver again pls

It's like a new car again

Sorry yeah, those are what I torqued it upto. Wasn't a flanged nut. Was nearly making its way through the hole. Resolved for now anyway just a bit annoying. Suprised it's managed to move enough to hit that torx.

Well I've gone for those stretchy ones now and if they last 6 months I'm happy. Better than what's on now pissing grease everywhere.

Spotted a Monaco blue just now on the back of a trailer travelling towards the m62. Down trinity street in Huddersfield, anyones?

Do they require shaft off to knock out the CV though? Or are they stretchy enough to fit over without doing that.

These do? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-RENAULT-CLIO-OUTER-CV-JOINT-BOOT-KIT-DRIVESHAFT-BOOTKIT-GAITER-STRETCH-/130772965297?hash=item1e72ad17b1:m:m-M6WxkRpGkhXShI0WZlbCw

Noticed a while back that I had tiny pin pricks in my CV boots on both sides, but had left it as it wasn't pissing grease out everywhere. Looked today though and there's a split in one boot now so wanting to change them. Are the universal cone ones off ebay okay to use? Has anyone got a link...

Whilst on the hunt for a front end knocking I thought i'd try and eliminate the engine/gearbox mounts. What I found was that the engine mount bolts weren't torqued to 44nm and were actually fairly loose. The centre nut on the ktr also seems to have been missing its washer which has led to it...

A clear enthusiast vs a company that knows nothing about the car they're selling 'FRESHLY CUSTOM REMAPPED @ BLACKOUT-TUNING STAGE 2+ (cat deleted correctly etc) appx 200BHP' An easy decision to make.

Looks lovely mate, GLWS. What's next?

All those say 25mm inner?

Clio Ph1 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 23mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-182: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio 2.0 16v RS (172 & 182) Cup / Cup pack models: Outer mount - 23mm, Inner mount - 25mm

It's lemforder i've bought mate not the starline ones. All ECP ones say click and collect for the 30th but they say they have 2 in stock. Might just pop in tomorrow and see if they can sort me out.

Just click and collected for those. Annoying I can't get them tomorrow despite ECP being open. 30th is the earliest day
