Is that a cheeky 'Drift Button' installed on that handbrake? The ones where the button has no spring so you have to pull it out to lock it? If so that car has definitely been sideways ;) Lovely clean example though, makes a nice change from all the 'drift spec' (read: ruined) ones my slidey...

Good shout, I’ll fire Nick an email

Hi All, Was wondering if you could give me a bit of advice, I’m looking for a set of sump bolts (the ones that hold the sump pan on) to replace the set where a couple have rounded. Renault are on back order and yes, I could wait and risk it, but ideally I’d like everything waiting to go so I...

Turbo Manifold studs pinged a couple weekends ago so it's down the unit in the healing corner, I was hoping to get some solid time on it but now I wish I attempted it at home!

Yep, I've not been there in a while but a visit is due soon I think, It's been on top of that container forever!

I bought your bright orange subframe off your old grey car! Currently off the car at the moment because it's broken (again) but a little piece of yours still sees the road ;) That shell must have sat at CitRen for about 18 months surely? Can't wait to see this out and about!

Lovely job, I’ll get one ordered up, no changes to pedal effort or anything? Yeah I wish I’d of caught it earlier on because I literally dug up some thermal sleeve stuff the other day meant for this exact purpose, but this one is now fubar 😂

Ahh thanks for the tip! I have seen a few more 197 MCs up new on eBay than 1*2 ones! Any specifics to it or is it a straight no worries swap? As for the servo and feed, is there any uprated/more modern approaches to these? Does the vac feed have to be Renault hardline or can I just use the...

Hi All, Car is recently off the road with the exhaust manifold and everything out which we all know is a PITA, and I happened to look at the brake servo while I was there. There's rust on the servo that looks to me like it would have been caused by fluid leaks from the master cylinder...

If its on EE I believe their phones automatically unlock after the contract term expires

I've had to ship a couple about places, once to @NorthloopCup. I used TNT, came in at around £35-40 from memory. Big cardboard box with some strategically placed bits of wood and stuffed full of old newspaper

Bought the car nearly 4 years ago for £1500. Not wanting to count up too much, it's had three replacement gearboxes (current one with quaife) so thats around £5-6K before I even think about any of the other mods I've done. Don't ever count up, it'll make you financially invested to the point...

Its definitely aftermarket, usually they have an electronic servo box with its own throttle cable coming from it. if you wanted it to work you'd have to locate that servo/cable arrangement as its probably been disconnected and tucked away. You'd then connect the cable from that to the other side...

Flash memory does have read/write limits where it will just die with age, devices like dashcams which are constantly reading/writing will soon burn through this especially on the cheaper brands of card

I've got problems with the downpipe too, seems like its twisting and always rubs on the bulkhead. I think this results in the downpipe nuts and studs constantly coming loose also

Renault Specialist ≠ Renault Sport Specialist

I currently have the same issue. Most common answer will be 'You've fitted the M10 Balljoint not the M12', but this definitely isn't the case with mine. Even with Loctite it still comes loose. Still need to buy some new Bolts/Nuts to test out in fairness

I've used the Samsung SmartThings stuff at work, and linked with an Aeotec Smart Switch you can do remote On/Off and stuff. Not sure on smart scheduling stuff as we never got that deep into it. Also works with most stuff that are Z-Wave/Zigbee spec. We had it working with Osram RGB Bulbs...

Mind if I ask more about the tooling required? I've looked into this before because some of the colour combos you can produce are absolutely awesome in my opinion, and as it's technically a temporary coating you can change the colour pretty fast, which for indecisive me is a bonus! However on...

I had this exact same problem. Turn the key and absolutely nothing, give it a bump start and it would fire right up. Leave it five minutes it would fire straight up. All intermittent issues where the starter just wouldn't fire on the key. Funniest one was getting pushed by a mates saxo as no one...

As angry as they may look round my way, they're generally speaking the nicest out of the lot. They'll actually stand and have a decent conversation with you regardless and as long as you're not mouthy back they're pretty fair. Turns out 99% of traffic police are car guys. Even had one who after...

From run ins with the police while driving around with mates who drive imports, the rules for them seem to be fit whatever you can in the factory location that looks sensible. Obviously if someone tries to convince the police their import Civic Type R ran 300x45 plates factory they're gonna get...

I Can't comment on whether the Cabasse units were amplified for signal etc, but I had similar problems in a MK4 golf where the Aerial used to get its signal amplifier power down the actual aerial line. You can get a cheap adapter to try on the clio perhaps? They look like an aerial socket with a...

Have you tried the LEDs in the socket the other way round? They're polarity sensitive! You'll have to get them back out to flip them, so while they're out hook them up to some 12v to see if they light, they'll light one way and not the other

Shameless theft from google, but they look like that. It looks like a bad picture because the threaded hole isn't round but that's actually how they are. Definitely had them with lemforder and the like before, Internet reckons they're 'torque prevailing' style lock nuts 🤷‍♂️

As they've been coming loose mate, as tight as I can personally get them with a 1/2 inch ratchet with a 1ft-ish bar on the end. So far they've stayed tight a week or so but i'm still not happy with it. They're not nylocs on there. I don't know the proper name for these type of nuts, I've had...

Thanks for the update mate, to be fair my original post was probably a bit pointless, any thread is better than one that loosens in hindsight 😂

It is worrying why they keep coming loose. So the only solution to sourcing new bolts is to buy a whole new balljoint? That's a bit of an annoyance as the actual joints themselves are sound. I'll wait for a euros/GSF discount weekend or something and have to pick some up! Cheers :)

I'd ordered just bolts from Renault about 6 weeks previous for the pinch bolt and gearbox mounts so it surprised me to be fair... The 2 M12's into the wishbone, not the single pinch into the hub that ones nice and tight!

Hi All, I seem to have a problem where the outer most bolt that secures the balljoint to the wishbones keeps loosening off. The actual balljoint is fine with no abnormal play, the end bolts just require a tweak up now and then. Reading around a bit on the forums, it seems the original Renault...
