[Deaks]

Wheel arches is mullered to. Fuming!

 

[Fernandez]

Looks like someone ran out of talent....

 

[Ashton]

Or never had any to start with?

 

[Ashton]

Just hear back from Josh cook and he said the wheel nuts just came lose and.....well.....you have seen the pic

 

[Fernandez]

Wheel nuts don't "just" become loose..... Sounds like an epic fail by Renault

 

[N0ddie]

Design fault?

 

[nutnutwelshman]

NOT a fail by Renault my be the wheel nuts are made of chocolate like the gear box's?????

Don't they?!

Did it happen on the first right hander he got to? Lucky not to hit the walls at Oulton!!

 

[Robo_#1]

I see 2 issues with the pic

1. £1300 worth of paint don't look so good now
2. Lack of cup pack

:rofl: This would never have happened if he had cup pack.

 

[Ashton]

So should we all send our renaultsport vehicles back then Angel?

I'm sorry but I am a firm believer of "**** happens" and this is not exactly what Renault would like to see, however there could be a number of reasons why it happened

Poor pdi, owner not doing correct checks etc.

You say that... But if the wheels have paint where the wheel bolts sit like a lot of oem wheel I've seen then the wheel get hot the paint melts and the bolts loosen up.

Doesn't matter how much you torque them if that happens.

And the diffuser practically fell off the cup race car....

 

[Ashton]

Oh the love......lol

Il make sure I'm stocked up on superglue and bluetac then

 

[MikeH]

On the plus side they didnt appear to have any french electrical gremlins...

 

[Ashton]

Le gremlin?

Only time will tell

first service on the 200t is in 2yrs or 12000m time.....so could go 2years without the nuts checked!

I bet this has had the tyres changed being a hard used press car and the bolts weren't done up right...

 

[MikeH]

Rubber wheel bolts?
