    Gearbox rebuild number 2

    Renault UK said no new box & out of the 11 renaultsport's I've owned in various guises the same dealership has fixed them all . I do have some faith in there mechanics & the work came with a 12 month warranty . I say I may have the upper hand buy using this as a bargaining tool with RUK for a...

    Gearbox rebuild number 2

    RUK said replace the diff & reverse synchro as in there eyes that was cheaper. I'd have liked a new box . I've had gearboxes rebuilt in the past & never had a problem .. But the dealer monkeys just replace parts . Not real mechanics in my eyes..

    Gearbox rebuild number 2

    No renault were unsure if the fix would work. & I can tell them it didn't .. Hope I get a new box this time instead of some half arse attempt at trying to fix it..

    Rear brakes time. Where?

    If you buy genuine discs they come with bearings & abs rings . But you will need to by new hub nuts £6 each from the stealers . I changed mine a few months back & I didn't trust reusing the hub nuts as they have nuylock inserts . You will also need a piston wind back tool ( take the cap off the...

    Its insurance renewal time again......

    Jmr .. I'm 40 & the one claim I had on my 197 was 5 years ago & that was £1200 & not my fault . I'm sure that in my 20 years of driving the most I ever paid was £600 to insure a car . It seems that young people today are getting stitched up . I work on the roads everyday & I'm sure I see more...

    Rear Disc Change

    Webber. Make sure you get new rear hub nuts as they are nylock ones . You will need a toque wrench ( 175nm ) & to make life easier a piston winding tool. I bought one form a motor factors £6 that fits on the end of a socket drive. I replaced mine a few weeks back with genuine Renault ones ...
