I have had knocking noises and rubbing noises comming from the rear of the car since saturday night. I have had my alloys since feb and then never rubbed then so why start now?

has my rear suspension gone?

any help would be great. I am getting worried. Sad

It was the exhaust knocking against something, all sorted now with a good old jublee clip.

And the spring that gives tension to the gear stick is twated so it's off to Renault for a new one.

renault will try and sell you a kit for 15 quid, you can get the spring alone but they won't let you have it in mnost cases, B&Q are a better option

what should i be looking for then?

Should it be a really stiff spring? I can't compair it as its nackered

nah not really that stiff, most of them don't have it, I wouldn't bother tbh.

So it's not a problem then?

It seems to me like a real waiste of time.

Also could I ask how much you think a Powerflow system would cost without the back box?

I don't know, Â£300 or something I don't use monkeys like that.

If you go down to the scrappies you should be able to get a five finger discount on the spring.
