Buy a genuine cable from Renault to start of with 7700829067 £14.70 + vat. The cable comes with a diagram on how to route the new cable. Will take you about 25 minutes

b******s never gave me a diagram for mine, was half an hour playing about yesterday trying to fit it, got there in the end tho lol

Best idea is to put some string on the old one when you pull if though from the cabin to the engine bay then attach the sting to the new one and pull the new one into the cabin.

Its easy to do.

Its easy to do. Just try not take the pedal assembly to pices best way to work in the fottwell is to sit backwards in the seat with your head facing the pedals looking upwards legs on the roof.

I had mine replaced yesterday and on my way home the travel on the clutch pedal seemed to decrease and now it won't change in to gear properly, crunchin and allsorts. Any suggestions peeps?

 

[MazzaR26]

hey guys, fitted it to day, its all set up right but the ratchet system isnt working it just doesnt pick up the slack, all that happens is when th pedal is pushed it moves the clutch up no more than a few mill. and matt brown if you are reading this then when i spoke to you i didnt have it set up properly, it wasnt slotted through the rear of the pedal(the ratchet arm). If anyone has any clue or if im doing something wrong please help lol, or if anyone lives anywhere near cheshunt/enfield and know how to do it, please pm me with your mobile number and ill see bout sorting you out a cuppa and a few notes.

Thanks

Mario

I wonder M8, did you buy a new cable from anywhere other than Renault? You MUST get the genuine part otherwise it won't fit properly.

Did you pass the new cable through the little white plastic loop on top of the pedal? V diff to see it, it's right at the back of the pedal on top.

Yep, genuine Reno part. It was fine this morning for about ten miles then went crap again. Reverse is a nightmare now too.

Only cheap £20 I think at worst.

 

[MazzaR26]

Finally got a mechanic to look at my car, mobile mechanics are the way forward lol.....realised it wasnt the clutch rachet that was busted it was just me so he just fitted the cable properly and that was that, so i thought. I go to press the clutch and it feels soft as s**t!!. It was my clutch that was causing the problems all along it just become seriouly worn and heavy, the clutch btw was a group N uprated clutch, going back to an orignal clutch now. But cant get it booked in till next week, been without a car since last saturday night, it seriously sucks.....

Group N means standard though.

Standard Renault is the best realy.
