I had already checked the fuel rail guard and there's no movement in it. Very hard to determine exactly where it's coming from whether I listen at the engine bay or on the ground to the side of the car. On it potentially being a heat shield- would it be normal for when this occurs to change...

Also, I had most of the front suspension replaced and steering rack bushes changed so the subframe was dropped. Hopefully it might be a heat shield as has been suggested on the Clio Trophy forum.

No, my usual specialist I've used for this sort of thing for the last 10 years, hence the 2 hour trip.

Picked the car up yesterday after getting the timing belt and a load of work done and there's an obvious rattle coming from it now, almost sounds like something's loose to me- That sound like anything in particular to anyone's ears? I noticed something within about 10 mins of driving away...

10 year old tyres with full tread are still the biggest no brainer to bin.

I've just bought these for my Trophy (https://k-tecracing.com/products/aftermarket-heavy-duty-clio-2-rs-lower-arms?variant=43236198678767) and I see the description includes the comment 'Suitable for fitment to all Clio 2 RS 172 and 182 models including 172 Phase 1 as an upgrade for extra...

Those long nuts are as much use as tits on a fish the way they come from new- https://cliosport.net/threads/top-mounts.849564/ Bought the lot only to end up sticking with the old set up.

Just saw this news on the Cliotrophy forum. PS5 vs. PS3 will the most straightforward no-brainer you can get IMO.

Think that looks to be a refurbished version of the same one as opposed to brand new- I'd also read a few things about people saying to go brand new over a refurbished unit to guarantee no issues. Looking at the price differential I think I would.

What’s the current consensus on replacement? The Renault part is out of stock with RPD but googling has led me to believe VALEO 439302 is the only one I’d want to go for which autodoc have- https://www.autodoc.co.uk/valeo/1081040 Is that accurate or is there anything else I should know?

Reviving this...has anybody tried aftermarket options with any success? Autodoc list a few options- https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=Arch%20liner

Have you tried them before to know how they feel?

I've done some digging on this as I also need some pads for my XKR and there's a thread on the Jaguar forum which details pad friction ratings- https://www.jaguarforum.com/threads/brake-pads-are-they-all-the-same.103539/#replies I won't go in to the research steps but it involved a lot of...

Brembo pads were the original reason for starting the thread 5 years ago.

Anyone?

What's the latest on pads? Are TRW still a safe bet for what I've previously described? Will need front discs and pads due to corrosion on the inside of the disc which probably goes a long way to explain why I no longer have much 'bite' when pushing the brakes hard.

I appreciate there are various old threads on this but could do with some up to date input. Got new SNR top mount kits for my Trophy dampers and the new spacer/nut that replaces the separate spacer and half nut appears to be absolutely nowhere near where it's meant to be. A waste of time or am...

Top work cheers chaps.

Revival here as my Trophy's driver side fog light has been cracked since I bought the car in 2014 😬 and it'll be getting a front bumper respray this year so need to finally force myself into sorting it out. @Brigsy did these Valeo ones fit no issues? OEM items are now taking the piss at £135 a...

Yeah I know as I contacted Jon directly through pistonheads referencing the tests he did but he did also say the feel can vary through different sizes. I've been reluctant to try it as the PS3's come in an 87 load but most others including the PC6 come in 83. I don't doubt they'd objectively...

Do you have experience of how the Contintental's feel? I've asked this a couple of times but yet to come across someone who's made the swap- https://cliosport.net/threads/continental-premium-contact-6-tyres-205-45-16-clio-182-size-review.833866/...

Cheers, already ordered them though.

Think I'll go ahead with them cheers. It's definitely this part as my mechanic mentioned it's the part that bolts directly to the boot floor and between it and the rubber mount.

Looks like the originals are NLA from Renault, has anyone gone with these from BRR? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353801214382?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nbjusknlqtu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cyMunfjgTbG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY One of mine has had its day...

For what it's worth, I do not recommend these Kam Racing ones. Only had them on the car a few months and the nice shiny finish has dulled and gone tatty already.

...and it's the completely wrong part according to my mechanic, just as well it's so cheap.

Cheers, ordered that one!

Have you fitted this yet? I've been delaying replacing mine but looks like I've sprung a mega leak as topping up the screenwash resulted in it pishing out from the left hand wheel arch liner. Made noticeably worse when using the washers which at least looks to confirm it was indeed playing up...

Yeah I knew it was officially ok, was more if anyone had noticed anything.

Have their been any reported issues running these on E10? E5 super can sometimes be a pain to get locally so I'd hope there's been some folk using E10 without issue...
