hi everyone i think my car has been doing this very recently. im no mechanic and its my daily car. what will happen if i undo this bolt to try and seal it to stop it leaking? will it affect anything if i remove this bolt to clean up and seal it please? ive got a slight misfire on ny car at the...

hi thanks for the replies and help. It turned out that the nut which bolts to the motor had worked loose and the actual wiper motor had slightly too where it attaches to the mechanism by the 2 star bolts. Fingers crossed its ok now but ive put all the tools i need to access the mechanism in the...

hi yes brand new mech and brand new motor both from rpd and i did clean the scuttle out too whilst i was there. ive just tried them now and i can hear the mech turning but they arent moving. How tight do you do the bolt to the motor up?

hi all hope you qre having better luck than me! just before christmas my wioers packed up, investigated it and i had snapped the mechanism. i bought a genuine renault one, fitted that, a week later they stopped working again! i ordered a genuine motor amd fitted that. Tonight ive nipped out...

rs rowe yeah true.. is it possible they could've missed it as they were replacing the hub on the nearside and i suspect the clunk is coming from the offside? i have actually got one of those track focus direct steering rack bushes (polyamide) which are supposed to be good at alleviating...

hi all, a bit late with this but i ordered from rpd and had it delivered to my garage where the car was being worked on: great service from rpd as usual and the garage too who are a proper old school motorsport prep establishment called automech in irlam manchester, i had initially only booked...

hi chaps hope all is well, im just wondering where the best place is to vet some new standard 197 cup front springs please? (think ive got a snapped drivers side) many thanks stew

Thank you for the reply, righto yes i would have picked recaros over them myself too if im honest! although they are ok.

hi, no sadly they are not recaros, just the standard seats, look 100% factory too, i like them but did wonder what business they have being in a 'cup' car? thanks for the reply, stew

Hi all, i apologise for lack of input on here and also for a lack of knowledge on all things clio RS in general. Ive had my car just over 2 years now and ive often wondered this: how come my car has quilted leather seats? i don't think ive seen another with them, is this dare i say it, rare...

Brill, thank you mate I didnt think of that. I can't see any noticeable difference in ride height but as you say it could still be broken! I shall take the car back for another look over! many thanks indeed :thumb:

hi all hope all is well last week I got my car back from the garage (just a general local one I've used for years). I had developed a sticking rear caliper and I finally got the lambda sensors fitted too. Whilst it was in I had them do an m.o.t aswell. Luckily all seemed ok, it was my first...

thank you very much mate, I've actually got some of those steel ramps here that someone gave me years ago and an old spare wheel too. good shout on the plugs, suppose theres no real way of knowing what's on my car till I get underneath! many thanks stew
