I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.
Evening Mark. As I always say to you....."Simple cos French" I always thought that was a "FUNNY BONE" to hit 😊😅😊😅.....You DIDN'T seem to be laughing ? For fear of upsetting Mrs CoatsandGaiters, I feel obliged to say there's some rust uner the said French thing to treat. On a serious note, always interesting & informative , explained so very well, definitely filmed to a high standard . Sorry forgot to say, Aluminium anti cease grease was probably preferable to copper slip, just my humble opinion. Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200
There's definitely no rust under there Alan.....just a bit of rust coloured something...but not rust. We stand by our Lagunas haha. I want a back hander for this Mr Renault. This was a quickie video as it was a job I had to do to use the car for work...wait till you see the next one on the brakes lol.
It is more educational for us that you have included minor setbacks in the videos you have prepared. In this way, while we learn what to do, we also learn what not to do. It was a very useful video for me. Thank you. In addition, what I can say about the rust seen is that I see this kind of rust in almost every car in the cars in the northern countries, the same vehicles are present in Turkey, but the same rusting is not found in the cars here. Good luck
Thank you for the comment, it’s good to hear the videos help my viewers. Next weeks is on the brake pads and that was a right game for something so simple.
I'm also a fan of putting grease on anything that I might on another occasion have to undo. I don't think that the torque on those bolts matters at all, as long as they as done up to suit the bolt size. They are acting entirely in shear, not in tension at all, so the torque would have little to no relevance beyond ensuring that they do not come undone by vibration. My guess would be that they will be 10.9 strength bolts, purely to up the strength in shear, which isn't normally specified but generally derived as being 60% of the tensile strength.
Thank you for that Joseph. I noticed as I removed the upper mounting bolt it was covered in copper grease from the last time I had removed it for some other repair and it certainly hadn't come loose in the last several years. Ironically I only recently discovered aluminium anti seize as I put copper on everything lol.
@@CoatsandGaiters Because they don't :). Yours exhibits an extraordinary amount of rust, as if it's been parked in a sea somewhere :). And those rear shocks lower mounts are a royal pain in the ass, tru dat. I recently spent a good hour on each side trying to get them out.
In reality I don't think it has much rust at all. It's just surface rust. My Ford Focus, now that's rust. The whole rear subframe is terrible and both sills had rusted right through. No perforations on the Renault and it has clocked up 182,000 miles so think it's done incredibly well. Take a look at my Ford Focus series and compare the two cars. @@Jezusbeznogi

Thanks very much for this informative video. I feel able to sort my Laguna now.
Good luck and hope it all goes well for you.
Amazing video mate, well done!
Thank you

Renault must like their plastic underbody covers, seems a bit pointless when you see all the corrosion there anyway.
Don't you say that about our Renault's lol .....We tell people Renault's don't rust shhhhhh haha my wife will go mad is she reads this
