Pretty sure I get the same noise from the throttle body, not caused me any issues yet.

I did a brief check to see if there were any loose bolts or rivets missing from the plate but my process was essentially: the clutch is still here. nice

Ok, I’ll try that next. It probably is me doing something wrong, it was still drivable before I tried bleeding it again :chair:

There was an o ring missing, we managed to grab a few from a garage but then with the valve closed and the metal clip on, the pressure from pressing the clutch pedal seems pretty harsh and just fires the line off the slave. I’ve tried bending the clip a bit but doesn’t seem to be helping. I...

Looking forward to getting them fitted!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll double check the wheel weights when it all goes on. What difference did you find? Having never experienced it I’m just assuming bigger means more heat dissipation. Does it feel different as well?

Not that I didn’t believe you, but it made a bigger difference than I thought it would :tearsofjoy:

For sure, we’ll see how it holds up tomorrow

I use a cheap ryobi impact, perfectly good enough for a driveway mechanic. Very rarely do I come across a nut/bolt it won’t crack off

It will be lower arm suspension balljoint, that one is threaded in rather than pressed in. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/ocap-wishbone-ball-joint-renault-clio-mk3-rs197-rs200.html

I’ve had the Subframe off loads of times but this is the first time i’ve removed the gearbox without pulling the engine as well

Pretty much yes

I believe @RSRowe had lots of issues with the ktec one snapping bolts. I've had the PMS one fitted for a while and its been fine, easy to fit and can get replacement pulleys/bearings easily. I also had the cup one which came on my old Clio cup which was also fine, only issue was I couldn't...
