Im looking into selling my car to fund a round the world trip before i go to University, Its an Early 1993 3 door K reg 1.4RT Metallic Blue, Manual, Electric Windows, Color-coded bumpers, Remote Central Locking, Mot Till – 20th of March 2004, (would be sold with 12 Months) Taxed till –...

i tightened the driveshaft up well and the suspention is secure at the top, i didnt undo the large nut on the tracker arm so i think thats ok. The new hubs bearings are fine but i guess that it may be slightly bent, i going to give renault a ring tomorrow to find out if their are any different...

The top of the wheel slants into the arch, I had the tracking set but the wheel is riding on one edge instead of on the entire base of the tyre I needed to take the tracking arm off the hub when i removed it, i did have a lot of trouble lining up the top of the hub and the suspension mount...

Did all phase one 1.4Rts have the same wheel hubs ?? I have just replaced a hub on my car which i picked up from a scrap yard that came off a J reg 1.4RT, i think it was a 5 door, I put the hub onto my K reg 3 door RT and now my wheel is pointing at a funny angle, Anybody got any ideas cheers

Cheers for that, Im a bit more confident to give it a go now, Will the 1/2" breaker bar be strong enough ? I had a little go with one yesterday and it felt as if the 1/2" breaker bar was going to give way before the driveshaft nut ?

I think i will end up taking it to a garage but i still may give it a go, i planned to take the wheel off, its just that the nut is on so tight that the whole hub moves when i try to loosen it, Have you got any flames yet ?? Are you using a de-Cat with it ?

The wheel bearing in one of my wheels hubs has gone so instead of going to the trouble of buying new bearing etc i am going to change the hub instead. Has any body ever removed the wheel hub from their car ? How much work is involved ?? Ive already had a look at my hub and it seems that a...

One of my front wheel bearings has gone and ive been offered a hub which i can just replace the original with. Has anybody removed the wheel hub before, have you got any tips, do you need to lock the hub in place before the driveshaft retaining nut is removed ?? Can you loosen the...

cheers for that, i had a read of that just after i posted, im going to get it looked at on wednesday so ill find out then. its just its always better to go in with a good idea of whats wrong so you dont get ripped off :)

Ive had a quick read on some past posts and im 90% sure that one of my wheel bearings has gone. The car is making a humming sound from the front and the humming gets louder when i turn right and stops when i turn left, Is this the front right bearing ? the only reason i am doubting that it...

I had a side exit exhaust on my 1.4RT and it sounded amazing. I thought that i had sold it but after agreeing the price the blokes just vanished ? have a look and send me a PM if your interested...

what would be a decent price for a 16V with a willy lump already in and running ?? Ive just seen one on auto trader RENAULT CLIO 1.8 16v, M reg. Metallic Silver, 20 16V Williams engine, lowered suspension, Dimma petrol cap, speck R bits insides, alloys, drivers airbag, e/windows, remote...

Ive got to say Bravo to the owner of this car, great choice of graphics

You may of seen on the for sale forum (PLUG, PLUG) that im selling an exhaust that was fitted to my RT. Could anybody tell me if this will fit onto a 16V ? I dont think that bore is an issue, its just going to be if the lengths are the same and weather the brackets off my exhaust match up to...
