OK, thanks for that.

I ordered some new genuine front pads online which I have just received. It looks like the package had already been opened as there were only 2 caliper pin bolts in the plastic bag. Should there be a wear sensor lead connected to one pad only? I haven't tried to fit them yet so don't know...

I did some reading on polybushes last night and it appears that some differ from the OEM in that the inner sleeve can rotate within the bush rather than it being bonded. In posts on various forums I read, some people indicated a rotating sleeve could get dirt in it and wear, and that the...

Well if there is a next time 😂

Yes I did measure them plus got old ones which shows unrusted band where they sat in beam. And I bought some device off ebay for pressing them back in....

Thanks for the link @Big_Steve_T . I've just had a look at your 182 restoration post - very nice work! I derusted and painted up my rear beam. I'm very pleased with it but it did take an age and I think your powder coated does look better. So next time it will be powder coating and poly bushes!

what I mean is I'm not missing a sleeve or anything that goes in the bolt hole?

I'm doing a rear beam refurb and have new renault bushes to fit. The new ones have a different bolt hole diameter to the originals, or rather for part way through. Hopefully the photos will explain what I mean with the new bush on the left. Do these new bushes just fit straight in does anyone...

Many thanks James. I thought probably either would do.

Thanks again. One other question if you don't mind.. I bought a new crank bolt from Renault yesterday. They said 2 are listed for the car, but my car being an '03 model year was showing the longer bolt (52mm). I went home and checked the bolt that actually came off my car, and it was the...

Last belt service was done by a Renault main dealer apparently Do you know why the kit only includes the one replacement pulley bolt and not the other? Below is how I found the cam timing...would the slight amount it is out account to much? Belt has been in the car for 5 years

Thanks James

Anyone know what the spare bolt and spacer is for in the cambelt kit (part no R13 0C 121 31R)? The new bolt and spacer is shown on the right in the photos below I assume they are for the ribbed pulley but the bolt is longer than the one already fitted to the car. Perhaps this new bolt is an...

Thanks...yes that's an idea

Today I took the bumper off my 172 and the aircon condenser was only "loosely" attached to the radiator. It seems there are 4 bolts holding the condenser to the radiator, but 3 of these were ineffective because the mounting points on the radiator had completely corroded through. Is this a...

Thanks for the photo. I actually bought both Lemforder track rod ends yesterday (LH and RH) so at least I would have the correct one. The Lemforder TREs are also marked "I" and "II" as the Renault ones above. Therefore it seems the "II" goes on the LHS. This would match the cross referenced...

I bought a Lemforder right hand track rod end for my 172 today from GSF. The track rod ends are handed and it appears that my car might have had the track rod ends on the wrong way round (ie the LH on the drivers side and the RH on the passenger side). Does anyone know if this is possible...
