Took about 30 mins old car and about 25 mins my newer car, thats with all the pros shlt i/e snap on impact wrench etc.. Twas wondering, speaking to an exmechanical friend, he said he used to do loads of bearings back in the day without a press, he used to use a socket and hammer, but I dont...

F@cking I hate you Renault, bloody french. Took both hubs off and fitted 99% of the one with the good bearing in, got to the last bolt at the very top and realised i oculd only get one of the two bolts in as the new hub is just ever so slightly out. Tell you I was screwing proper, plan now...

Yeah point noted mate, dunno how long my bearings going to hold out for tho never heard one as bad as mine. I take it removing the hub would also send my tracking out?

Sorry lads yeah mk1's. Guess I'll just have to give it a shot, if it fits it fits etc.. What they like to remove, got work at two going to start work on the car at ten you reckon thats enough time? Also if it makes fa diffrence the donor clio is 1991 RN and the other clio is 1996 RT.

I know I've asked before I had a reply about it all depends on the spacing but if possible can someone tell me, maybe they've attempted it themselfs... Can I fit a 1.2 hub on my 1.4 clio? Cheers lads,

Kewl any idea what the damage is on a front wheel bearing, expecting about £25?

Do they sell them? Need a new LHS one as when I turn right I get a groaning noise.

Probably best to add the water/smoke stops when the engines been on for a little while, I only do short trips try to keep revs below 2k & the coolent needs topping up once every so often.

Cars done 90k.. on the orignal head, cam and pretty much everything else lol. Tbh I'm not going to change the gasket or cam I'm just going to use it till it dies and shove a new 1.4 lump from the scrappies in there. Basically I started it up this morning and there was a bit of water coming...

Bump, please help someone. Ive got the money waiting to pay for the headunit but i need everything sorted first.

Update, Ive managed to take a picture of one of the wires sticking out near the speaker and another wire Ive found under the bonnet could someone kindly try to identifiy them for me please because Im really baffled as to whats going on here...

My Dads got some antifreeze somewhere it wont be long till its half empty again anyway lol. when it is how much antifreeze should I bung in?

Theres no gunk as such in the coolant tank or lid & the oil looks fine too.

Ive recently topped mine up with distiled (Spell?) water. When I got the car, 300 miles ago it was about 1/2 full now it was about 1/4 left just sitting near the Min line. its an old 1991 car is it usuall for them to lose coolant? Also will it damage the engine if the coolant runs down...

My speedo clock is well and truly w**kered. My Clios done 79,xxx miles the second digit (9) was always only showing half, i.e inbetween the 9 and 0. Now its reverted back to zero showing that Ive done 70,xxx miles. Anyone know whats happened and if it can be fixed?

In regards to the standard sound system on the Clio mk1. Basically Ive got a mk 1 minus a headunit. (its never had once since I got it). Ive brought a Sony Minidisc headunit to tied me over for a few months. Looking at the car what I can see where the headunit used to be is an aeral...

Can anyone do anything with this, I got the car recently looking exactly how its pictured its my first car I love Clios but its so dated inside. I was wondering if anyone felt like throwing together some color scheams i.e diffrent color air vents, center of the steering wheel. Please help me...

Cheers mate, I take it that its hard to tell the diffrence leak wise between gearbox oil and engine oil?

My Clio has black oil all over the place under the car the engine oil doesnt seem to be going down so I was wondering if its the gearbox oil. how do you fill it up or check it?

Not even sure if theres any power going to them leads as theres a unused wire coming from the battery Id say its about 5x2cm long with lots of holes in the end where pins go into, whether its a power lead which used to go to an amp I dont know but its got all the original crappy speakers in so I...

Going to get mine done with my next wage cheque, The cars a 1991 J reg and the engines done 72k Ive no idea whats happened to the car in the past so best be on the safe side.

Any idea how much it costs, Ive got a Clio with no history so I think Id better be safe than sorry.

Could well be but I dont know if the speakers are already wired into that red box as theres one unplugged connector underneath each of the front speakers.

Cheers mate, Ill take a trip down there when I get paid at the end of the month, got to get a new lockbarrel sorted out too as you can open the current one with a screwdriver lol.

Cheers mate I was planning on getting a head unit from there anyway and have them fit it under a deal where they fit it for free if you buy a certain model, would they charge me extra when they see what a state the wirings in? [Edited by DarrenRN on 8/20/2005 8:32:48 PM] Steve Im in the...

Nope thats all I got that big connector with wires coming out and the little one which I assumes the aerial, Plus the two speaker connectors I found with your help. In the middle of the big connector it pulls away leaving just the rear of that redbox and lots of pins. Do you know as an est...

Hi Daz, I checked under the front speakers and each one has a little connector with 5 wires coming out of it numbered 12345. Do I need all the wires that I photographed still?
