Afternoon, we are looking for a recommendation for a Renaultsport specialist in the south east who can work on a few issues we have on the 275 CUP-S (ohlins rebuild and persistent clutch fluid overheat on track)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

I've heard good things on Cliosport about Two techs over the years. They are in Dartford somewhere.

AW Motorworks. Don't know about the Ohlins though. He works on Megane's and clios all day every day.

I think you will struggle to find a specialist who will do anything with the ohlins other than box them up & send to someone like BG Motorsport.

You then have to decide if you want the car to sit with no shocks or put on some second hand stuff to run-around with while the Ohlins are away.

I guess thats why you see Ohlins for sale as its easier just to swap to KW's or Fresh Cup stuff ( or dig deep for Nitrons). and sell the Ohlins.

Ideally you need someone with a set of Ohlin's that can be used on an exchange basis. Like people do with steering wheels.

It also seem that cosmetically refurbed Ohlin's look pretty ropey as I don't think there is a cosmetic element.

I use a guy in Twyford that is decent. He's only recently set-up on his own having worked for another place up until the summer. No website yet I think, just word of mouth. Always loads of track cars there when I visit. PM me for his number if that's any use.

Last job he did for me was refitting my refurbed Ohlins as it happens. I sent them to BG. Fortunately I had the original Cup dampers to use whilst they were off.
