My lastest purchase to replace the standard dci dynamique surround and worn knob!

http://i12.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/e5/37/f55d_1.JPG

off of a r26

nice touch how much did it go for ?

£41 delivered.

not bad cos renault wanted £50 just for the knob!

not bad at all mate it will make a real nice little mod!

not to sure on how to remove and replace the knob thou!

i maxed my bidding at 35£ ;)

the ring just clips down so just needs a little pull, the gearnob also just pulls off as is friction tight but dont hit yourself in the face!!

p.s do not try twisting it!

pass i wanted to put the r26 one on my 225 but couldnt be bothered so i ordered an r26 instead im so lazy sometimes!

thanks for that benje, i will let you know how i get on once i get it!

if you're struggling let me know, i'll go remove mine again and remember exactly what i did!

so if i understand right, the knob is just wedged/moulded on? I think i read somewhere that you have to cable tie the gator at the top of the stick??

That's the other way round to mine :s

Other way around to mine too ;p
My reverse gear is on the left after you pull up the bottom of the knob.

so if i understand right, the knob is just wedged/moulded on? I think i read somewhere that you have to cable tie the gator at the top of the stick??

There's a plastic locating 'thingy' at the top of the gear stick that the knob 'clicks' onto. So the old one just pulls straight up and the new one is pushed straight down until it locks with the locator.

And before pulling your knob, remember to free the gaitor base ring from the centre console as the whole knob/reverse lift sleeve/gaitor/ring assembly comes off as one piece.

When the assembly is removed, the knob is freed from the reverse sleeve by twisting a quarter turn anti-clockwise, it's a bayonet fitting. Careful though, there's a spring between the two (pushing them apart) so be sure to catch it on removal.

And finally, yes the gaitor is held at the top by a cable tie to the reverse lift sleeve.

thanks for that finn thats a great help!

Miltage,

Was it just a one off auction or is there somewhere on ebay selling a load of them? It looks really good much better than the standard beige set in mine.

here is the sellers shop on ebay,

cheers mate, i'll have to keep a look out

he has a few parts from the same r26 if anyone interested.

shame you can only fit renault gearknobs as i have a nice one but it doesnt fit over the guy renault end bit

he has got the silver trim for the centre consol, i was due to win it for a fiver but then he withdrew it an put it up @ £35 buy it now FFS!!

should be with me 2mora, but my meg is in getting heated seats fixed again!

will tha centre console fit a normal megane (1.6 dynamique) with a/c not climate control?

i would have thought so mate, the climate control is completly different moulding i think??

I am still a bit puzzled as t how the gear knob is going to come off of that pole!

Put the pole in a vice and pull the knob really hard

i just tried to do it with some mole grips, nearly pulled my arm off! I need a vice!

Has it just been cut out of the car then?

yes mate just lifted up the leather gaitor and sawed the thing off! Thats breakers for ya! lol

Hence the name I suppose

gave it a little go when i got in from work and manage to pull it off! Just cant wait to get me car back now so i can fit it!!
