Induction kit changed over today, mostly. The battery I've got appears to be pushed slightly further forward than it should be, so no room to negotiate back into the gap as outlined in the fatty guide on here. For now, filter heads have been changed over until I can sort that issue out...
Meet at Chester Services for 08:30? Looks like it's about an 1h15m drive from there according to Google Maps.
I'll aim to be there from about 08:00 to grab some breakfast and whatnot. We can meet at the back car park, same place as last time.
No more drama from the EML coming on so I'm assuming that it's fixed itself. Always a nice bonus!
First track day ever over the weekend at Oulton Park. It was a novice day, but there was some bloody lovely cars there! McLaren 12C, Porsche GT3RS and a few Ariel Atoms. Good to see a couple of...
That's what I'm thinking myself. The metal housing for the mounts looks a bit shot itself, so need to get it off and see what condition that's in before I think about reusing it. Worst case they're replaced for OEM and I get some PowerFlex inserts later down the line.
Was cocking about back...
Pretty productive few weeks with the car then and already making good progress. After a good run out with the local lot here into Wales and getting used to the car, I've got the lot done below.
- Rear discs and pads have been changed for OEM, and this has also stopped a low-speed knocking I...
Recently bought from George myself and would recommend going to him for these.
I've simply replaced and put Renault OEM discs on based on popular opinion being the rears do very little. I've paired it with some OEM pads for that reason as well. For the fronts I went with Brembo HC with Mintex...
Similar story here. I was struggling to keep the thing in view! I'll blame it on only owning mine for the best part of a fortnight ha
Cracking day out though, really enjoyed it.
Rear discs and pads sorted today. Took a little longer than anticipated no doubt but good exercise to learn a bit more about that stuff and how the cars been put together. I've no mechanical background whatsoever but was a nice afternoon so thought why not! Seems to have been the cause for the...
Cheers! Saw that you had. I was honoured when I dug into your profile to try find your Clio and realised you don't post so much ha! Found it on here - looks like a right weapon!
Thanks gents. Regarding brakes, the main reason for getting some immediate attention is that I appear to have a knocking from rear drivers side. Pratically identical issue to the one in this YouTube video:
Anyone got any ideas as to what would be causing that?
After battling my own indecisiveness for the better part of 6 months in the build up to moving away from London and into a property with actual space for a second car, I finally came to the conclusion that it was a toss-up between the Renaultsport Clio 182 or Civic Type R (EP3). I seemed to need...
