- So today i tried to fix the almighty click which i have been getting for months, i initially thought it was my driveshaft.. then i realised the spring could possibly be loose... thats when it turned bad.
Yes i snapped my suspension strut by overtighening it with a breaker bar; what an absolute D***HEAD.
lesson learnt.
Luckily; one of the megane lads had a spare strut lying around and i could go and grab it off him, otherwise i would have been in a bad bad place.
THANKS NICK.
Installing it was of course, a pain.
But shes all back on the road now, although she has developed ANOTHER noise which i will have to have a look at tomorow.
I hope you all enjoy, love you all, see ya next time.

I can believe it - hanging off a breaker bar that size, you'd snap Ronnie Coleman in half.

Isaac Elphick. He was turning it the wrong way
Whatt a moron, next time he better use a....very large sledgehammer...to wreck the car🤔
Sorry mate felt your pain for 1 second then pissed myself , remember don’t fix it if it isn’t broken .

Unlucky mate! I've been there many times when looking to get things done quicker or something, still shes on the road still which is the main thing
unlucky Lee. Glad you managed to get it back on the road though.
Nice channel bro , was looking for a good uk car vlog shit, found the right channel ✔️✔️

Matt Woodward hahaha I’m a silly bitch aren’t I

...Torque wrenches exist for a reason 😂
Passed my practical 👍 looking forward to being on the road
Breaker bar would break it mate 😂 but good on you for getting it sorted in the same day 👍 keep up the videos mate enjoying them 🤙 if only I lived near you I could sort that windscreen out for you 😂
sam miller hahaha come fix it
Unlucky bro but good to see you have people willing to help also loved the fact you mentioned Chris fix he’s spot on mate lastly have you checked the inner tie rod for the clicking as I’m having a similar issue , changed my track rod ends and drop links and I’m still hearing the noise so going to try inner tie rods
Lee you probs won’t answer but I’ve been looking at getting either the Clio rs or Megane rs what would you recommend I’m 19 nearly 20 need something quicker than my 1.4 corsa.
Chris Fix is a legend :D
Using a braker bar for top strut nut. Haha qulity. Sorry but ur reaction when it snaped was priceless 👌👌
when that thing strut snapped, i felt your pain.
Lee Lockwood: puts the breaker in breaker bar
Tomcole020 😂😂😂
Great video bro hope you fix the problems with the car ☺
And now we know why torque wrenches were made, lol, keep them uploads coming bro channels on the rise :)
Gascan5 hahaha I have one that’s the worst thing 😂
Ur reaction was like some 1 said your cat got run over 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Met you a few months ago at the horshoe pass and you seem a proper sound guy! Really enjoying the videos mate :)
Hugo bones :)
That reaction haha!! I've been there bro, trust me!
Your unfortunate misery gained you a sub if that helps, remember watching some older vids of yours and went out and painted my alloys after a few months back. Glad I stumbled onto you again
I don’t know how you stay so upbeat when things like that happen! I’ve only got to thread a bolt when working on my R26 and I completely lose my shit! 😂😂😂
JamesID mate they’re shocking haha
itsLeeLockwood But I still can’t help loving it! 😬
Lee Lockwoods Torque Wrench - “Am I a joke to you?”

That megane will be good for your channel mate ...keeps them videos up ....might swap my astra with my mrs for her megane for my channel haha ....keep up the work bro ....best car youtuber bar none including fyd haha
At least shes got a clean bill of health now shag 😁HAPPY DAYS!!!!
I had the exact problem on a 20 year old micra I had for my first car I hit a pothole and the strut snapped, jacked it up and you could literally wobble the wheel as if it wasn't even attached 😂
Hey Lee, I'm 42 and still making mistakes ;-) easy fix though... All the best mate 👍🏼.
It's not the car making the problems it's you. Fancy tightening it like that and people have to share the same road as you!!
Jason Alton silly me
Jason Alton don't hate man it's just a guy trying to get his car fixed
isnt it weird how the meganes front jacking points always make the back of the car come off the ground and float when both sides are jacked
Snapping bolts is the story of my life bro
Dude I did this with my motorbike (GSXR 750), over tightened the oil pan drain bolt and had to get a whole new underside of the engine -.- when it happened I was like omg what no please no 😂
Aaron Hodgkins oh shit
just started watching you, is ur car remapped? i have a 1.9 cdti sri 150 at 97k miles is this safe to map??
Is your front bumper misaligned from the front wing?
Karl S Megane problems
Complete bodge artist a right muppet
Your mechanic skills are scary
This is bad but when you snapped that top mount bolt I pissed myself laughing 😂 sorry
Green jacket = Bad luck
If that clicking sound is still there pull that driveshaft out take the inner cv boot off pull the shaft apart carefully as there's 3 needle rollers behind that is a spring they sometimes break causing a clicking sound. And get a bottom ball joint on it, yours don't look to healthy lol. 👍🏻
I hate to say it.. but I could see that a mile off.. I was shouting at my phone for you to STOP! STOP!.... I felt gutted for ya..haha.. dude!.. but you got it fixed. So all good..
cliff scholes same bro
cliff scholes bet it was cringe
I know a hammer solves all, but a break bar destroys....
moral of the story,don't touch your car when you don't know what your doing doing!!!!!!
THE JOY Weldon tho lad
Did one on a renault Senic a while back so stands a chance it could have that Spring too on your Megane maybe.
Mate, just come across ur channel, liked n subed! Plus ya got a Meg so all over it now..
if u want it to break.....u use a breaker bar..ha ha good quick fix there
O no Lee ! , No notification GUTTED 😢
That’s why breaker bar Rachets come in handy CRACK 😂
Must have been a headfuck doing that at Night ! got to admire your patience and effort sorting out everything same day and doing it at night in the cold ! Pure dedication ! Keep it up !
Was going to ask you, the noise you were experiencing, was it when your going over speed-humps and when your turning the steering wheel left or right while on standby or moving, it does a cling noise ?
W Racer ah mate it was horrible haha
Been there!....makes you feel sick when they snap don't it
Thats why you should only use factory torque settings
had the same on my 225 it's the swivel hubs . They have bearings that get corroded
Feel your pain brother did the same thing on my beast .
Another banging vid as always 👌🏻👌🏻@leelockwood
I think thats the best time for coilovers
Did you have to do an alignment afterwards
8:05 aww for fuck sake
Breaker bar on that 🙈🙈🙈 I saw it coming
Now you know why there called breaker bars 😁
Was thinking about a megane but the amount of problems you've had not so sure now
Classic Lockwood :D
THOU SHALT NOW BE KNOWN AS ......BREAKER BAR
Well, must be the Best Chinesium.
Never seen that happen, but yeah its a Renault.
Did he just hold the strut piston with mole grips at 10.15? 😮
I replaced the shock on my 225 CUP, Used Spring Compressors to shorten the shock and allow me to slip it in the hub without removing everything :)
Wasn't far of buying an r26 but went for a pug 208 gti 13 plate instead. Thought it was the more sensible choice.
The fuck up was getting a renault 😂🤣
Not sure about the Renault's but your suppose tighten the nut off the car using a Torque wrench lol. Anyway your video was funny and you seem like a top lad!
You doughnut! A breaker bar for a top nut hahaa
Bald Guy silly boy
Had the same problem with my Clio changed everything sound never went I was clueless to what it was...thank god I bought a Ford😂😉
THAT Guy fiesta?😉
Yep👌👍
Bro fking hell bet yeah was really happy yeah lucky yo yea pal sorted it👍👊
I can't believe my strut just snapped while I was hanging off a breaker bar, who would have thought it. Pure entertainment though top marks
I bought an R56 Cooper S about the same time as you got the Megane and spent £1,500 on it so far in just maintenance costs, I'll swap with you any day xD
James Blake Jesus 😂
That bottom ball joint looked shagged when you took the hub off, the grease from inside of it was everywhere
luke austin must be that then
ffffffffffffffuuuuuuck, Rest in peace
10:00 LOOOOOOOOOL!
hehe... a 3 whole months without any problems. #meganelife
to be honest, i'm just really surprised any of the electrics are still working.
Simon Johnny had my Megane for 2years so far and not a si gle problem. Also had the mk1 before for 3 years and no problems either.
One careful owner,
The bottom ball joint could be the knocking issue. All the grease looked like it was coming out.
Alan Danger oh no would make sense
Still got a cracking view from your windscreen 😂
Gixxer Haz waheyyyyyyy
itsLeeLockwood did you get my comment about what you use to record your vids and edit them lad?
You spoke the exact words that annoy me most with car modding! When you have to spend huge time, money, and effort on a job that only gets your car back to the way it was. No gain in performance or looks! Its happened many times to me buddy and its a bas**rd! It normally happens to me after I say the words " I think I will just av lil look at this" Good luck in future..
This is why you don't use a breaker bar that shouldn't be stupid tight...
Sorry but I couldn't help but piss myself 😂😂
Lads lads lads
Lee get rid of that renault, you keep having problems with it lol
he's the problem with it haha!
Pfff is not just renault , subaru gearbox is shit , ford focus rs mk3 problem with engine conception the engine broken easy , audi rs4
leakage of oil circulating throughout the injection system resutat the car does not come out these 420 hp .... Still car OEM version , no tuning , no chips reprog , no dump valve système or admission JUST OEM version !!!
