    Air Filters, do they actually make a difference?

    I had a K&N panel filter, changed it to a standard in my last service and there was no noticeable difference. That's not to say there is no benifiy, I'm sure it's just neglegable as a stand alone mod Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Ball Joint replacment

    @-Eddie- is there a way for me to check that it defo is the lower joint and not the upper. The fail sheet I have only says worn ball joint on it. I have a diagnostics report from Renault Belgard that was done a few months back. But it also does not specify lower or upper joint. Sent from my...

    My '07 clio 197

    Wheels were in desperate need of a refurb, decided to get something other than standard silver. Considered doing a diamond cut with black details like on the gordini models but it was mad money. So decided on Gold! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    197 track rod ends HELP

    I had the exact same problem! Changed my tie rod ends, still loose and sloppy-ish steering. Ball joints are getting changed Tuesday, they are visually worn for me so probably the culprit alright. Renault don't supply the ball joint without buying a whole control arm at a big cost, I ended up...
