Why i hate clio's part 2

[Waitey]

The worlds slowest gearbox change hits yet another problem.

Meet my top mounts. The nuts have been way over tightened and the allen key holes are cracked/rounded.

Awesome

Been there done that. Watched the apex spring spin round and round lol

Even with the wheels on the floor?

 

[bmh.01]

Mole grips on the damper shaft and hope they hold? Failing that stilsons, not doing to do the dampers much good though.

 

[Waitey]

Will give it another go when i'm not so stressed.

Either way i don't think the dampers are loving it.

 

[Jamesstone]

"propa" impact gun ( 150+NM ) will have them off in no time, make sure the wheels are on the ground

 

[Revels]

Teddy in a bag isnt impressed.

I've got a bigger one. I'll try and find it.

I've had 3 now lol. And 3 106's. I need help.

[Mells]

Did they come off?

 

[Greeny.]

Surely thats more of the monkeys fault who fitted them rather than the Clio itself?

 

[Waitey]

Did they come off?

Yes. Big style
