I think so. I’m pretty sure the knock was there before I replaced them, so I’m hoping it isn’t that. I might order these top mounts and see if that helps at all. If not, then I’ll move on to the engine mounts.

I’m getting an annoying knocking sound when I pull off from stationary. It’s a single knock and sounds/feels like it’s coming from the front right, around the top mount. I’m thinking the issue is the top mount but I wanted to check if anyone had any other ideas? They’ve never seem to sit...

I spoke to Mark Fish earlier today and he’s still got a couple of sets available so I’m going to have one off of him. Really nice guy and seems to know a ton about these cars.

My front spring has snapped and I just wanted to confirm my assumsions are correct before I order a new set. From what I understand I can't get OEM springs as they're no longer manufasctured. The only option I can see is to get them from Mark Fish. Is this still correct? Just wanted to check...

Thanks both for the help. It just looked a little odd with the overhang. Oh and wow that’s a clean car!

Is the trophy suspension considered cup?

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid, but does this abs ring look too big? It looks to be over hanging by a couple of mm but I’m not sure if that’s normal? I measured it and it’s 16mm wide.

Thanks, I'll have a go at burning them out. I just hope all my bashing with a hammer hasn't ruined them :unsure:

Now the wishbone is out I was planning to replace them entirely with new bushes etc. I've read the OSF wishbone has been discontinued so it's either refurb mine or get some aftermarket ones. I was looking at the below. Would these be ok with one of these stiffening plates? Or should I stop being...

Reciprocating saw made easy work of the bolt. Thanks for all the help everyone 👍

Thanks for the replies everyone. Hoping to get a recip saw at the weekend and get this sorted. I've got another quick question that seemed too basic to start a new thread. Can the below be removed for access to the arb? The car is currently on axle stands and I wasn't sure if it's safe to remove...

Thanks. Never used one of these saws before, will the blade that comes with it be suitable or do I need a specific blade?

Unfortunately not. I do have a multi tool so was thinking that might do the job?

Does anyone have any tips for removing these buggers? I’ve tried everything and it just won’t budge. The inner metal of the rubber bush has seized to the bolt from what I can tell. I’m happy to take a grinder to it but I don’t have the access. Would a multi tool do the job?

Thanks. I've got some brake cleaner so I'll give it a good clean and report back when I have a better idea of where it might be leaking from. Hopefully not that many places!

I’ve had an advisory on my MOT for the last few years for an oil leak. I’m trying to locate it to fix but I’m struggling to find the source. I've cleaned up the underside the best I can in an attempt to find it so time will now tell. However, are there some common areas to investigate? I've...

Thanks. That makes sense. I did a bit of Googling and that seems to agree with what you’re saying. Phew 😂

This is almost certainly a daft question, but I’m going to ask it anyway. When my car is in gear the front wheels couldn’t spin when one side was jacked up. Now both sides are jacked up they spin, even in gear. Is that normal or have I knocked something out?

Got it, thanks (y)

I'm not sure if this is too obvious, but has my brake fluid leaked out of the bleed nipple snapped hole?

Thanks, no leaks that I can spot. I’ll probably need to replace the callipers. One of the bleed nipples has rusted off so unable to bleed it 😩

Just wondering if anyone can give me some guidance on this before I start taking the brakes off. The brakes were fine last year and I’ve not had any need to drive the car until now. The brake pedal goes hard if I pump it with the engine off. If I start the engine the pedal goes to the floor and...

Cheers, I'll check them first. Is the below correct? Would I need anything else? https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-anti-roll-bar-bush-kit/

Thanks both. I'll just replace all the bushes as I have no idea when they were last done. Any recommendations? I found the below from powerflex. https://www.powerflexsuspensionbushes.co.uk/powerflex-front-lower-wishbone-bush-pff60-301-for-renault-clio-ii-inc-172--182-1998-2012-91121-p.asp

:ROFLMAO: I did think that one was a little odd. I guess it's just that they can't assess the possibility of rust on the sills? It went to Mick at Diamond Motors for belts etc and he put it through the MOT with another garage (I'm not sure which).

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice on my latest MOT advisories. The Clio has been off the road for a year due to lack of requirement and time. Anyway, I'd like to get it back on the road but wanted to sort a few issues first. The ones I'm not sure on are the anti-roll bar pins or bush. Is...

Got it off with the Dremel and a bit of force.

Thanks. I need to replace the whole arm because it’s snapped around that spline. I called it a bearing but only because I couldn’t think of a better name 😀

Quick question, am I right in thinking the below bearing needs to be removed if I’m to replace the rear wiper on the 182? I think it’ll need grinding off but wanted to check before I hack away at it.

Cheers (y) considerably cheaper than I was expecting too
