What didn't happen lol , misfire on the first stage , found water in the spark plug hole , loads of spins as it was so Slippy , then the rear drivers side bearing collapsed , changed it and it did it again which put us out of the rally , not the best of rallies but sh1t happens !
Andrew didn't fair much better but I'll let him tell you about it lol
No I'm running the larger Laguna rear hubs , the pin must be bent to have the bearings go like that , the only problem now is the disc broke I don't have any spare so I'll have to fit the standard discs with the small bearings now , unless anyone has a disc ??
Video looks a laugh!
Have you decided your getting rid of the clio?
no not yet , I'm using the Clio on a rally in march so won't decide until then
Which event have you got planned for March? I'm hoping to do an event around then
I can't go back to Laguna hubs now as one of my discs broke when the bearings collapsed , unless you know of any discs.
If not i'll buy a pair of genuine renault 172 rear discs and use them
Managed to find a brand new pair in France in the Alcon boxes myself as they are hard to source.
It supprised my how insecure the Hubs are on the bearing you would think its a nice secure fit.
The bearing is from a 1999 Laguna , very easy to source , the discs aren't , do you want to sell your good disc ?

Bare in mind the other disc failed due to corrosion/ fatigue (probably due to years of no use) at the point where the swept area meets the mounting ring and completely parted company -result that he hub still turned freely when the brakes were applied. The other side is likely to be in similar condition and is probably due to fail. £ 20 + carriage if you want to give it a go or £150 for the hubs c/w bearings as well.
