Pull straight up. Do not twist. And move your face out of the way

move your face out of the way

+1 took mine off the other week to get to a wire and this is good advice haha!

 

[S33KEM]

My new one is screw on, won't this fit then??

 

[pritchp]

is it the genuine renault sport one?

If yes then it shouldn't be a screw on.

 

[S33KEM]

Just a cheap one from halfords that looked good. Shoulda done my research!!

 

[pritchp]

got the receipt?

There's your problem.

Now I've been ridiculed any ideas for a cool replacement??

The renaultsport version. Either facelift or pre facelift. Nice weight to it makes shifting a pleasure compared to the standard item

But its freezing cold in the winter and really hot in the summer!

It's not that bad.

Not what you told me when a girl touched it the other day. Believe she screamed and said it was freezing

 

[maggi200]

Yeah. But she's a girl. It was probably the size that intimidated her

You need to hold and rub it until it's warm then

 

[S33KEM]

Lol cheers guys! Where can I get and for how much??

 

[MovingShadow]

I ordered mine via my Renault garage but hold on to your pants on the price :shock:

Don't remember it but it ain't cheap, for a knob

 

[maggi200]

Occasionally used ones come up for sale too. Think a facelift stick was on eBay not long back

I bought this one the other day, I know it is not a genuine Renault Sport one, but it is cheaper than the actual Renault Sport ones that are available, as I cannot afford to fork out that much cash for a gear knob. I just think it looks better than the original one that is on. It is arriving about 7th May, so fingers crossed it will fit .
