Hey all, Anyone know the history of this car? Looks a decent deal https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402206776882?sort=relevance&advertising-location=at_cars&make=Renault&model=Clio&page=1&postcode=SK5%208BL&price-to=5000&radius=10&fromsra

Jumping on this, what size spring clips do you need for the radiator on OEM hoses? It looks like 40mm but I’m not sure

I read on here that it’s a bit of a nightmare to swap them so would rather avoid

Ah great to know, cheers

Have seen a few threads mentioning the calipers are the same but all of the ones for the 106/206/306 Saxo appear to have a different handbrake cable arms. Will these actually work okay?

I scraped off the adhesive on the clip and used JB Weld plastic bond to stick it on. You can get that on amazon for about £6. I just cleaned the tank and scuffed it up with some 240 grit paper to key it but that’s probably overkill

Seems to have worked pretty well and is holding.

Yeah it looks like you're right. I've ordered some of these: https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/self-adhesive-cable-clips-assortment Im going to scrape the adhesive off and then use some JB weld plastic bond to stick it on where the original was but who knows how long that will last

Hi all, Noticed mine has completely sheered off at some point and my handbrake cable is just sort of dangling down a bit and im slightly worried about my impending mot. Has anyone had any luck replacing this and what with? I'm hoping its just one of those push fit 'fir tree' connectors and I...

Hi All, Could anyone with the scorpion centre section help me out with any of these measurements? I have ordered one but my OEM Cat has been the restriction/olive joint removed with a straight 57mm section welded on and will need to modify the centre section to it to sleeve on to that. I...

Will keep an eye on mine but the gtechniq stuff works wonders making bare plastic look shiny and new. May end up lacquering it like you say

The standard ones aren’t speckle are they? This retains all the silver bits on the trim

Hi all, just thought I’d share my success using the ‘Elbow Grease’ and wipe method on my sticky dash parts. I rubbed it down with some elbow grease spray and lots of clean rags to remove all of the soft touch coating then sealed it with some gtechniq C4 trim restorer. Took about 20 minutes...

Reviving a dead thread because I also am an idiot

Hi buddy, I’m going to Aus in December if you still need these. Orange as in Orange NSW?

Where did you get new genuine wishbones from o_O?

These look exactly like the ebay specials that I am replacing on the car atm. I don’t claim to know more than ktec but all other sources say the aftermarket ones do not have the extra caster. Copy and paste job maybe? You can usually see the ball joint comes out square with the wishbone, the...

I think this is wrong. I ordered some FAI Ss129 bushes based on this and they look slightly different, with the back end of the metal sleeve tapering inwards. On a used set of extra caster wishbones the bushing has part number 7700789477 C. have now ordere FAI SS5266 based on new part which...

Did you ever figure this out?

Okay cool I’ll bear that in mind. I Injected a load of cv grease in the boot hole patched the hole with a bike puncture repair kit ( LOL I know this is dumb, not doing any miles just want to not piss grease everywhere while I diagnose the noise). The patch held on a short drive but couldn’t get...

Probably right about the grease. Tbh as a noob that just sounds like more for me to f**k up. Im not how it would even come apart to be honest The shaftec r218ar shafts allegedly fit perfectly and are only £120 after returning my old one. May even end up taking a garage, as I have no time to do...

Sods law its the side that I need 😅

I just took it out. Its not super loud but you can ‘feel’ it the drive train and it sounds quite high energy/ under load if that makes any sense. Not a click or a clunk but a sharp bang. Like someones smacking it with a plastic mallet. The hole is tiny so I'm going to try repacking and patching...

My GF noticed a bit of a clunk when accelerating. Its a single clunk when pulling away/ accelerating quite hard. I checked the car over and found the OS outer cv joint boot has a small hole and has pissed grease everywhere. Could the joint now be drying out/failing and causing the clunk? Any...

Very cool idea, here is a doc that leads me to believe the 10mm and 12mm ball joints are the same except for the mounting holes PROTIPS22410_GB.PDF (bilsteingroup.com). I currently have the Febi 10640 ones on my ebay special wishbones.

For anyone searching this, the powerflex website says it’s 7700840741 and all 4 are the same

Yeah they are 10mm on the car right now, I will have to get another set of 12mm ball joints for refurbing the genuine wishbones unfortunately

Thanks man, Pure motorsport are currently out of stock for the modified 172 spec ones, and the originals are not available anywhere. So I'm refurbing a used set and would like the part number for the bushing itself

quick update, car is driving much better with the new properly fitted ball joints. Have got some knackered extra caster wishbones to refurb on the way too. Thanks all

Hi All, Does anyone know the part number for the wishbone bushes (extra caster ones if that makes a difference)? Also are all 4 bushes the same? And any tips on getting them out? Thanks!
