    Driveshafts lifespan?

    Hi guys jumping on this thread. My NS CV joint has gone I think. Started to clunk yesterday and when I got underneath to have a look the boot has slipped off. Not sure how long it's been like. Can you definitely just change the outer CV joint without having to replace the whole shaft? And if so...

    Does anyone know if your can replace the outer CV joint without having to replace the whole driveshaft. Car started making a clunking noise yesterday when reversing and turning full lock.

    Clio 197 knocking, speed bumps, pulling away, braking at low speeds.

    https://m.onlinecarparts.co.uk/oenumber/8200686016.html Check this link out. Delphi sell this part for less than £10. Not sure how great the quality is but the Renault ones don't seem great quality either so even if the cheaper ones last 2-3 years I think it's still worth it..the difference it...

    Heater blower stopped working, any suggestions?

    Heater blower stopped working, any suggestions?

    Awesome. That picture had helped alot a made sense now iv seen the whole unit. This may or may not be a silly question but someone in work mentioned that if it was the resistor then number 4 should still work as it's a straight through, is this the case? Or is it possible for all 4 to stop with...

    Heater blower stopped working, any suggestions?

    Cheers for the advice mate. I last changed the pollen filter about a year ago but had it out about 4 months ago to give it an hoover. The blowers were fine this morning blowing as normal then when driving home from work I noticed they were dead which made me think fuse but they all seem fine...

    Today went to work as normal, it was a cold morning, heaters worked fine. Popped out for lunch and the heaters worked fine, blowing well. Finished work 3 hours later and no blowers, 1,2,3,4 are all dead. I can feel warm air coming on slightly on 0 but no blowers at all. I have checked the fuses...

    First Year of Ownership - RB 197 with pics

    Hey mark love the car, great colour and loving that spoiler. Mind me asking how much the spoiler set you back? How much for painting? And was it easy to fit? Would love to get a sprint spoiler for my 197.

    197 lower suspension balljoint prob???

    Iv heard of alloy wheels being welded but the hub is a little worrying, maybe it’s fine tho like I said I wouldn’t know 100%. For the price he charged you could have bought the complete hub. These balljoints are a pain in the ass and they’ve stressed me out this last 2 weeks, in fact the bloody...

    197 lower suspension balljoint prob???

    Wow £200 for fitting? That’s insane. And it’s possible he cracked your hub and if so then he should have replaced, not sure I’d feel comfortable knowing he’s welded them, I’m not great with cars mechanical wise but is it safe to weld them? As their alloy?
