Been working on my car today and encountered a few issues mainly due to rust/corrosion
1. Does any one know the length of the rear shocker top bolts, they are fairly long and bolt through the chassis?, going to have to cut mine off but didn't want to remove without having another at the ready!
2. Also need the dimensions of the front shock bolts if anyone knows them
Think the above bolts are all M10.
3. I was replacing the rear discs and pads, I noticed the drivers side caliper appeared to be sticking so I removed the cable, the caliper is free but the handbrake cable is a bit seized and frayed so need replace these, can they be replaced without removing the exhaust heat shield? my head shield and bolts are rotten and won't go back on but I don't think Renault do any of the heat shields now do they?
4. I replaced the gear mechanism tension spring, but the diagrams in the pack showed 2 methods of fitting depending upon the shape of the linkage, supplied was a spring and a clip to go around the gear linkage arm, but in the pack they only supplied a fitting for one of the methods, typically the Williams was the one they didn't supply the clip for, I have manged to get it on using the original clip but it's different to how it should be, the hook piece for the spring wasn't on the original one, I will post a diagram to see if anyone else has encountered this.
Thanks for any help.
