I'm thinking torque steer?;)

Ph1 182 Throphy Cup?? :S ;)

Cheers guys, was the information I was looking for! :) I've not much idea when it comes to repairs but did think it was quite damaged but wanted to check.

Hope I'm posting this in the correct section of the forum? :) The other day while driving round a bend on track I lost the back, spun and hit a concrete wall - rear right hand side (drivers’ side). Bent the tailgate, broke the lights, and pushed the side in to the car a bit. Anywho, today...

I'm watching to! ;)

So for £110+ you have to grind them to get them to fit :eek:, me very :S Just doesn't make sense!

I've read this a couple of other times on here, but I don't really understand why ferodo make pads that don't fit? :S I'm thinking of getting some but am a little put off by the thought of having to 'file' down brake pads to fit! :)

With a lot of fiddling and shere luck! :D I didn't think you could get to it from the wheel arch, sounds like an easier was to access it... but as is the case with me I seem to pick the most difficult way of doing things! Especially if I'd have found that bolt head before trying to clamp the...

Good news! After a few hours of swearing, and with some help from my brother, I managed to remove the old upper gear box mount! Fitting the new one took some time to, trying to get a spanner in the gap in between the gearbox and the mount was a right pain. Upper engine mount though, very easy...

Cheers for the advice guys! I'll have a root around in the shed for something to grip the mount with. Was thinking about drilling a couple of holes through the metal on the top of the rubber mount, then put a bit of metal in to it to hold on to! I did try some mole grips yesterday but they...

I don't have one of those though :(

Just spent 1 1/2 hours trying to undo the centre nut of the upper gearbox mount. Each time I turned the spanner the rubber moves :mad: How do you stop the rubber moving? Even if I could hold the rubber from moving would the centre bolt move, do I need to stop that from moving to? Cheers :D

:rofl: "i valeted my car with oevn cleaner", love it!

^^What silver paint did you use to do this? Mine are really horrible and could do with a respray!

Always wondered what Renault put about this light and just found it in Driver's Hand book from my ph1, 172...

Did this on mine today... what a pain in the a**e! The larger rubber part was quite easy to get out but the small one took ages in the end used a large hammer and a screwdriver. :mad: Haven't swarn that much for ages! Anywho, done now! :approve: Although now I can hear something rattling...

I am a little tempted to get the k-tec mounts, might leave it a bit though to save! I had a look on the powerflex website, didn't realise there were so many bushes! :S I wonder if any of them need changing... http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products/Clio+II+%28inc+172+%26+182%29-426/1.html

Just ordered these: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=505705 Is it worth changing any other mounts? The top engine one was changed on mine about a year ago as it was broken!

That's the one! My youtube searches are rubbish :o

I watched Dave this morning and there was a bit about Premium petrol and the differences. In a normal engine designed for 95 RON the premium petrol did nothing to the performance. However, when they did the same test on a golf GTI, apparently recommended 98RON) it had better BHP with the...

Bit random but that red ph1 belongs to someone who works in the same office as me. We have the same model of car in the same colour... :eek:

Welcome! Reminds me when I frist got my Clio, had a massive grin everytime I put my foot down. It's great on track to, talking of which I've booked the RenaultSport one at Silverstone in Aug! :D Can't wait!

I converted the standard car radio last night to white LEDs! The only thing is they look a bit too bright. I tried to use a bit of paper to dim them down but the buttons now have a slight yellow tint to them. :(

Got a new tensioner on the car now, with a new belt and it's fine!! :O) The belt that was on it was not in good shape and it was only a few weeks old! Amazing what happens when the tensioner doesn't work properly. It must have been the tensioner because the mechanic was complaining how hard...

Just saw the double discount December for k-tec... v. tempting! Save me some £££ and I need to!

So all I would need is this: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2685 and some kind of tool to undo those odd bolts, something like this: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_216036_langId_-1_categoryId_165572 Then just...

I'm starting to wonder about the mechanic I use! Any mechanics in Woking? :O) Is it a quick and easy thing to change, the tensioner that is? Are they expensive? Do I need a reno one?? I had a look under the bonet earlier today and the very bottom pully I can move with my fingers!! Actually...

He must have balls of solid steel!

I wouldn't bid for it! I think were he says he'll break it and that it's not aligned, says it all...

Does this sound possible? A month or so ago I was driving to work and while on a dual carrage way in the outside lane my car temp gauge hit the limit and lights come on. I pulled over quite quickly and called the AA. The bloke who came thought it was the themostat so he poked it out, so to...
