Fair play, 12 years on and here we are.
Just changing the radiator on my 172 Cup and wondered if brackets were available to buy as mine are a bit grubby.
Turns out you can't buy them new anymore.
And for completeness and hopefully helpful to someone in the future
These are the non aircon...
Hunting rattles and I'm snooping around the boot area.
The boot latch. Is it adjustable, I seem to recall reading that they could be adjusted but I can't see how?
@Brigsy I think it's your thread I read where you adjusted the boot latch?
Now every Clio I've owned has had floppy inner TRE's and the the outer TRE's aren't usually far behind. Neither aren expensive so I did my research and bought some fresh ones.
The ones on there weren't that bad to be honest and at one point I did consider sending the back, getting a refund and...
Flat side to bearing/disc and tapered side to car.
It's not immediately obvious which side is tapered until you hold it in your hand. Even that above image, not really sure what side that even is! 😂
To finish of the rear refresh I thought it rude not to add some new rear discs and pads.
Sure we've all seen what old discs and pads look like but for the sake of documenting it:
Before
After
Looked like one bearing was on it's last legs as this rubber (at one time was rubber maybe?) seal...
Took just over a week. They had to get it done quick as they had bigger projects to smash out.
I had originally planned to refresh a second beam and supply that built up with rear brakes and bushes etc. But the second had beam I'd bought had a rust hole in it which I wasn't aware of until the...
Dropped the car off to a local place for removing the rear beam, tank and exhaust etc and having any surface rust treated with dinitrol RC900 and undersealed with dinitrol 4941 and lastly front wheelwells treated with dinitrol 4010 and a linolin based coating. Also the rear beam was given a lick...
Great question. I've tried getting them in position for a while, but the passenger side keeps touching the drivers wiper when it comes to rest. The only way to get them not to touch is to raise the passenger wiper.
In trying to sort this out (again) today, I noticed the spline on the passenger...
Boys, it's done.
Ordered genuine washers from PugFive ebay seller. Double the price of the 'genuine' 6438V8 knock offs on ebay but these are genuine and come in a citreon bag.
Genuine on the right, Chinese special on the left.
You can see just how different they are.
Lovely mist spread...
I couldn't find the thread where we were chatting about the spare wheel kit? Why I tagged you there. Thanks for the help... Mist washer jets next. 😅
Yeah, PMS rear stub axle spacers. Nothing on the front.
Not alot happening as it's booked in for having the beam and fuel tank dropped and undersealing etc.
I previously mentioned I'd bought a spare Turini but the original tool kit wouldn't fit or rather thread on the bar in the wheelwell. Thanks to @Mattcup for the recommendation of using a yellow...
I've messaged the Ebay seller @Darren S mention above. They're sourcing some for me. If they work (or not) I'll update here.
Failing that, I'll contact Citroen direct. Is it 6438V8 you used @Matt Cup ?
Oddly the seller had 2 pairs listed with the 6438v8 part number. After the first set didn't work I messaged them and they refunded without returning the item.
I ordered the second pair, different listing and they're the same. They barely hit the wipers. Messaged the seller and they refunded...
Had the same boot trim rattle and the clips were snapped not the actual fixings like yours. Looks like you'll need a new boot trim, fairly easy to get hold of and the clips are on ebay too.
Lovely updates, cleaning the seat belts. How's the plastic trims? Gooey?
This is interesting as I have the same issue. The toolkit fastener I have is a bit short. Where did you source the yellow piece? Look jus the job.
Also, agreed I don't think wheel face will work.
Bit of a bump but does anyone have a more current link to mist style washer jets?
I bought these

But they just hit the wipers.
