Need to really narrow the noise down a little and its strange you have a noise after refurbishment. Did you get adjusters done at same time if so soften shocks and see if its the same or worse also just make sure your sub frame mounts and lower arm inner bolts are tight along with the ball joint...

Hi Steve, I can see the gap and i know the bushes have a cut down the middle of the flat part on the bush(the bit that sits against the sub frame), i doubt this would be your creaking noise, you can rule both inner and outer bushes by spraying rubber lube on them, either that or fit new ones...

Hi Steve, first off I would get a helper to lend a hand. Few things you need to check under load. First off lower ball joint get the steering to make the noise all the time and get your helper to give the steering a wiggle while holding the joint it will be obvious if this is the issue as you...

Took some pictures earlier, there not the best due to the weather once it clears will post up others. I shrunk the photos so they would fit on here if you want better detail pm me and will send you some via email.

I knew I would forget bits; the Trophy has had a RS Tuner 98 RON remap. It has a full fat 172 rear bench fitted, I have standard bench sitting under my bed atm. I also have a driver’s Recaro seat cover purchase this second hand on here a while back. There is Trophy no.440 car mats fitted these...

I have my Clio 182 Trophy No.440 for sale; I have owned thisfor the past 2 years and will be sad to see it go. Genuine reason for sale as I needed something bigger that Icould get tools and bits in. Due to me being a full time mechanic the Trophy has beenmaintained to the highest standard and...

I'm pretty sure rear springs are different from trophy to cup due to spring rates but look near on identical. Think mark has some of both for sale on cs forum from memory maybe he can shed some light on rears.

Front springs are yellow as standard and have an eibach stamp and part no on them. Rears however are hard to tell difference to others such as cup packs as there both black with white and red dots.

I think from memory i had the same issue on my old clio, the fobs only hold there memory for 3 months or so, im not sure on how to re-program a fob however if you unlock the vehicle from the passenger side and then put the key in the ignition and start the engine or even flick it to ignition on...

I'm the same height and I drive mine fine however I have recently taken out the seat base spacers and replaced them with washers and I find its more comfortable now. If you do a search on forum there is lots about belt replacement intervals and damper rebuilds.

You may be rite there may be a small amount of protection on the outside possible galvanised but from the look of my spare bolts in the locker box it looks like there just neat steel. Ideally somthing like the tpi bolts may last longer but will still end up corroding after a period of time. Even...

Wheel bolts are M12 x 1.5 and 24mm long they don't come with a coat usually unless stated as there be 10.9 steel I know tpi do some nice coloured ones and there was a group by on cs forum hope this helps.

It's an update list and its stamped on the facia in the bottom right hand corner

Have a chat with Fred from btm he on Clio sport it would be worth talking to him as I'm guessing he will diagnose correctly first time, there is also a low mileage engine for sale on Cliosport at a rather good price talk to Chris205 iv purchased from him before so can vouch for him, one thing...

I had a choice between avo and spax and i found that the avo's are again 20mm shorter, i emailed avo regarding this to find out, i must admit i was tempted with the avo shocks for the rear but never got them not sure why i think avo and spax are on par with one another to be honest. As for...

Sorry was going to reply last night but got sidetracked, I would personally stay away from koni I had issues with 2 sets one leaked another didn't work on compression dampening. I currently have spax fitted which are miles ahead in quality to koni however there 20 mm shorter than standard and...

I really like that, who done the retrim and how much was it? Iv seen a few guys on vs now offering this service.

I see what you mean now, if it was me I would just remove the old boot and fit the new one as the inner boots rarely let go its the force on the outer one that's the issue. As for the ptfe lining its only a lining the ball joint is steel so if there is very little movement in the joint over...

Was going to suggest to put some high temp grease between the shaft and the sleeve that you pictured above as metal to metal contact on something like that is bound to seize. Im not entirely sure what you mean about the driveshaft? i know on the nearside driveshaft the inner cv boot is clamped...

Just wanted to state do be careful with cleaning these with petrol and brake cleaner, im not sure if the rose joints are ptfe lined or what affects fuel has on ptfe lined joints.

I would go for either the gt racing cams as these have potentially the best torque figure of them all, but as stated above still awaiting more results. I emailed k-tec regarding the cat cam 438's as wanted to know if they set them up using the cat cam timing tool or just standard renault tool...

Gates only from memory. Wouldn't touch continental belts as had issues with these last year.

Undo the top mount bearings and make sure there free, seems to me like top mount is sticking to the cup and not the spring, if the springs are new then the paint on the spring will need to wear and corrode slightly to the top cup as i know that when i fitted the mark fish springs there was very...

More on this battery, when at idle and you load the car up with lights, wipers and heating you say it crashes to 11v on charge rate? Also im guessing this is on a 182, as seen your post on the rs192?! It sounds to me like a possible alternator issue. Does the light come on the dash when charge...

You sure you got the rite one's? Total length extended should be 375mm just measure them before fitting as im sure if there an inch longer there the wrong ones.

The units still connect to each other hence the reason why the ABS talks to the ECU, well it does on mine as i have an ABS fault on mine with regards to the communication between the ECU and the ABS unit. If you can explain that one when there is no can-bus system as i have a fault code for it...
