    Gearbox/Driveshaft leaking!

    Actually, I could probably make this much easier... Do I need to do any pressing or renewing of bearings if I want to change the gaiter? Is there anything else tricky about it (apart from trying to undo rusted bolts on a freezing day!)? Would it just be eaiser to renew the whole shaft...

    Gearbox/Driveshaft leaking!

    planning on spending tomorrow doing this... the haynes manual says something about having to press a new bearing into the shaft when fitting a new gaiter. Sounds like something I wont be able to do without a press (agree / disagree??!!) - I thought / hoped that you would simply be able to get...

    Gearbox/Driveshaft leaking!

    it is my n/s shaft that is leaking from the box - i was just asking whether this is the r/h side you talked about with a replacable seal? If so, is the seal renewable without dismantling the box? Thanks [Edited by steve_rt on 17 December 2004 at 3:00pm]

    sigma alarm codes

    a friend of mine has recently had an M20 alarm system installed, but the engineer didnt ask him about setting any of the options when setting it up, and refused to give him the codes to do it himself when he rang up - he wants a call-out charge to come and tweak it, which is ridiculous...

    Battery or alternator!

    My battery is almost flat, to the point now where it hardly has enough juice to crank the starter motor! How do I tell whether it is just an old battery not holding the charge or it is the alternator not charging the battery?

    split CV boot fitting ball joint - help!

    not too tricky but youll need a minor earthquake to release that bolt if you dont have air on it...or use a long bar and try that, worked for me.

    changing fuel filter

    yes depressurise! i use allen keys to stick in the end when they come out, there is no was of avoiding some spillage though, but you can use the protective rubber caps on new filters to plug each end of the filter as you undo it to prevent extra leakage. oh and you can buy a pipe clamp from any...

    1.2 or 1.2i

    look and see if you have an ECU - do you have a haynes manual? think the ECU is under one of the scuttle panels. also look to see if its a carb under the airbox, gives it away with all the screws. btw carb = not injected (in case)

    might be worth giving renault a ring and asking their service dept whether you have EBD?

    Ride Height

    the clio is setup as standard to have a higher rear than front, so by altering that, yes you will suffer a loss in handling. Having said that, loads of people do it, and unless you drive your car hard as it is now, you wont probably feel much difference like that!
