A live Q&A would be quite nice :grin:
That’s amazing, Wobba. Good detail, there. I’ll have a crack at it! Thanks a lot, man.

I still have my Williams 3 on jack stands after removing the subframe and having it, plus the wishbones and other bits, powder-coated, as I am still waiting for some bits to arrive to be able to...
I can't measure them right now, but if I remember correctly, the R19 ones I bought were the smallest ones I could find, and are only about 1-1.5cm longer than my oringinal Williams ones (assuming...
These are the ones I got: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/febi-bilstein/1869682, and before those ones, I had bought these: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/mapco/2031550
They are actually both the same size,...
Has anyone tried using Renault 19 Inner Track Rods in a Clio Williams? Recently, I had a bit of a woe when I noticed the Inner Track Rods I had bought for my Williams 3 weren't as long as the OEM...
That's fair enough. This is the first car that I've worked this much on, so, it's clear I have a lot to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
Hi all,
The subframe on my Williams 3 is bent to the point where it's not viable to repair. This means I need to get one. I really haven't been able to find a Williams subframe, yet, and trust me,...
Hi guys,
I might be being paranoid, but I just realised the brake calipers I bought a while ago, might not be the correct ones (facepalm). I'm jacking up the car tomorrow (if some axle stand pads...
Thanks a lot for replying. The noise is present even when driving, and not just at full lock. Should I look at replacing the pump?
Hi all,
I had previously posted about this, a while back, I believe, but only recently I've had the time to look at it, as we just went back into lockdown, where I live. I tried flushing, using a...
Are these the ones?

Also, what’s that software? I’d love to have it, if it’s not licensed to a company, or something. It seems quite useful.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ve bought this (see picture), and some other bits.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201209/5cfb10e404db413107e48af445a74207.jpg
It says my order is being...
Thanks a lot for your reply. Very useful information, there. I've ordered the Track Rod set, two Brake Calipers, as refurbishing the old ones is simply not worth it (they're old and rusty), two Front...
Thanks for posting that. I probably should have thought of that. It also seems like the front-left wheel (picture on the right), has noticeable positive camber.
I don't believe they are replicas. They've got the Renault logo, and Renault PN. Not sure if they could still be a copy, though. Either way, when both wheels were out the car, they looked identical....
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for all those posts, but I kinda needed some enlightening. Like I said, I've put the car on ramps and had a proper look underneath. The subframe has some damage. At the...
Hi all,
Can someone either tell me the original Williams 3 Part Numbers for the driveshafts, for both sides, and tie rods (full assembly), again, for both sides? I've been posting on the Facebook...
Number plate has been changed to 71535, as I changed ownership in Guernsey, Channel Islands. Should I make a new post?
I'm hoping fresh fluid will help. If not, I'll have to open my wallet.
I've decided to go with Michelin Pilot Sport 3's in 195/50. Getting them fitted as soon as the car is out of the jack stands.
This car needs so much TLC, that the decals are the least of my worries :-(. Good to know you can buy them, though. Do you know if they're original? I'm asking because they aren't cheap.
Well, there she is. She is now in my possessions. Here are a few pictures from right before she was shipped over:

And here is the first picture I took of her:

Hi all,
It seems my Williams 3 is a work in progress (and maybe a money pit). There is a fair bit of play on the right wheel, and the car pulls to the left quite a bit. I'm not an expert, but upon...
Well, crap. The power steering fluid is black...That would explain some things. It could still be engine oil, I suppose. I'll be replacing it ASAP.
Thanks for such a quick reply. What tyre would you recommend in the standard size? I was looking at Michelin Pilot Sport 3's, as they seem to be a very good tyre, but they're in 195/50. Good tyres in...
Hi all,
My recently purchased Williams 3 has a hissing noise coming from the steering wheel when doing a full lock. When taking the brakes apart, as it's also not braking properly, we detected an...
Hi all,
Now, I know this has been posted here, many times, but I'd like to hear from the people running 195/50 tyres in their Williams and Valvers. Do the tyres rub against the inner arch, when...
