    hub ball joint f**Ked!!

    I have just realised the upper joint is on the other part of the swivel hub assembly so it would just be the abs sensor to refit

    Middle section delete - is it worth it?

    Dont do it. I have bought a car with the centre section missing and the noise is embarrassing. I have just welded a centre silencer in and it is much quieter and more responsive.

    Xenon auto adjuster level switch

    It bolts onto a metal bracket which is fixed to the n/s axle mount and the other end of the small rods fix onto the axle itself. It is the orientation of the small rods that I think I may have messed up.....if that makes any sense at all

    Xenon auto adjuster level switch

    Can I ask if anyone has or can take a photograph of the xenon rear level switch on their car as I have refitted mine to the new rear axle and may have done it incorrectly. It is a small wired box with two universal arms which sense the load on the rear of the car. It is positioned on the...

    New owner 197 in Glasgow

    Just a quick update. I have replaced the rear beam and the rear o/s wheel is sitting fine now....phew. However, I noticed after driving it that one of the rear brakes was binding badly. Upon investigation the handbrake cable is on its way out so I will have to get one tomorrow. Also...

    Bent rear axle?

    Picked up another beam today along with a complete o/s/r hub assembly. Working over the weekend so Monday will be changing it over and hopefully get it sorted.

    Bent rear axle?

    It is well out as you can see it with the car on the ground with the wheels on.

    Bent rear axle?

    I am going to collect a rear beam from a guy in Fife tomorrow and to be honest hadn't even considered the possibility of the rear hub carrier being bent. I have had a look on ebay and euro for replacement ones but cant see any?

    I got the aux cable working....didnt realise it had to be activated by holding the "expert" button. The codes for the bolster and centre squab cloth would be great if you have it

    New owner 197 in Glasgow

    Well the wife had a jcw mini and wrote it off a few weeks ago and needed a replacement car. I saw the neglected Clio on fb and thought it looked like a decent replacement. As is always the case, bargains are often bargains for a reason and this is no exception. I have no plans other than...

    New owner 197 in Glasgow

    Hi all. I am not new to Renaultsport Clios as I had a new 172 back in 2003 and loved it. Last week I bought my wife an 08 plate 197 in black. I got it very cheap (£1800) as it has some issues, namely: blown exhaust - flexi - new flexi welded in four baldy tyres - tyres replaced alloy wheels...

    Bent rear axle?

    Aw man, this car keeps giving me issues....suppose it was cheap for a reason. The o/s/r/ wheel sits further into the arch than the n/s one. The top of the o/s/r wheel sits a good bit further in castor wise. I noticed this when buying the car, however put it down to a possible broken spring. I...

    Which stereo should my car have

    I have an 08 plate 197 and it has a crap aftermarket stereo in it and I am looking to regain steering wheel control and display functionality. So I think the most cost effective way is to try and get an oe unit. The problem is, I dont know which oe unit would have been originally fitted...

    Toyosport manifold flexi blowing

    Got it welded yesterday and all seems fine except for the dreadful exhaust note the car has. It would seem to only have a back box and sounds like a wasp in a tin can. There is also heavy vibes/knocking from under the front passenger footwell yet the exhaust and manifold is well clear of the car?
