No, its not rounded off (yet..) I dont have an impact gun, just trying with spanners. I think the nut was a nyloc which seems to be enjoying its job! I just cant get enough leverage on the two spanners. might wizz it down to the garage and ask them to undo it.

well i cant get the f-ing top mount off of the strut...I think i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new strut and top mount...annoying!

Hi again, Well I've got the strut out using a spring compressor - i had to cut the compressors down in order to get access. Now I'm trying to remove the top mount from the strut. Can anyone tell me how to do that please? I am using a 18mmspanner to grab the nut and a 6mm allen socket to hold...

Hi. Many thanks chaps. I'm just waiting for a set of spring compressors to be delivered along with the new springs I'll see if I can manage that way. I should be able to compress the spring by about the necessary 2" which should enable me to get the strut out of the hub. I'd rather not take the...

Hi. Just a quick request for some clarification! I have a broken front spring and so I am trying to get the shock tower off the car. I've undone the two drop links from the tower and removed the pinch bolt in the hub. I've now bashed the hub to get the wishbone as low as it will go in order to...

THanks @RSRowe I tried RPD but they tell me they cant do it at present. Tried Kam Racing too but I'm not 100% convinced its the correct one. They looked it up on the Renault parts thingy which lists that part number as a "shock absorber"...they thought that was just a mistake, as apparently...

Hello chaps. I'm going to replace my rad support on my 62 plate 200rs. Many thanks @MarcB for drawing attention to the correct part no. 8200803451 Mine is currently as useful as wet cardboard...thanks Renault! I'm wondering if anyone can give me a heads up on best place to order from/ who is...

I did hang around like a stalker to say hello. but didnt see you. forum sticker too.

many thanks for your thoughts. Sounds great, the straits are just the boring bits between the corners! I will give one a try. cheers matey. Will

I'm wondering about trying a 133 too (swap a 172 cup for it). My wife has a 200cup and i love the handling on that. Please would you give a bit more info on how you felt the 133 compared to the 200? Would be really keen to know. For my money, the 200 is wonderful but I'd like all the thrills but...

@Beany Cheers mate, much obliged.

thanks chaps. @Beany what would you recommend wheel wise? OZ maybe? If I go the spacer route, is there a particular brand to go for? cheers. Will

Hi. I know this has probably been done to death but I cant quite find my answer. I have an RS200 with the standard wheels (five spokes not speedlines). Like many think, the rear arches arent really filled by the wheels. I quite fancy the cup racers but as a cheaper alternative, what spacers...

Thanks mate....oooh, thats lovely. Need to ditch the chrome and go for the black and red!

Hi. I've just bought an ultra red rs 200. Its completely standard and i'm just think about a few bits to do. I'm still not 100% about the colour (i bought it really as its 35k miles and pretty much like new) and was wondering if I should do black bullets, black door handles and renaultsport...

Anyone got a 200 for sale? ff or cup, prefer recaros. Ready to buy.cheers.

cool. that green one seems a bloomin good price for a green one. a long way from me but would be a lovely 400 mile trip home.....

gotcha. this is the car, cheers https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renaultsport-clio-200-recaro-seats-alien-green/1344030862

Hi. Were all recaro seats put into 200s the "yellow dot" material. i've seen one with the "white dot" seats? would they have been fitted originally? ta.

Looked fantastic.
