    Anyone in Peterborough able to do me a favour?

    story- I bought a car from a garage in Peterborough which developed a few issues. It was on finance so the finance company arranged for it to be returned to the garage for the work done as they wouldn't pay for it to be done at a dealer or local garage. That was 29th July I last drove the car...

    Clio V6 Rep Turbo

    I seriously doubt that is a lasses car. More like he put it in her name for the "lady owner" vote. However most worrying, it showed 63908miles at MOT in 2011 then 17002 in 2014... In fact, can anyone explain the MOT history as it looks fishy as f**k to be fair around that time.

    Clio 172 2002 running like a scooby

    These aren't the best runners when stone cold. Mine hesitates and holds back slightly for 30sec when first driven cold then suddenly is fine.

    AMAX (APEX?) 40mm springs £30 from ECP

    Yeah. Much better than it was. Stiffer than standard 172 cup springs I had on for a bit, settled well enough and feels more planted on cornering with the good rubber on.

    AMAX (APEX?) 40mm springs £30 from ECP

    Text upside down. removed the old ones and there was a pig tail bit where it wasn't flush on the bottom so fitted the same way. Only knock is from under the front seats so not suspension related I don't think and was present before fitting these. Bit of trim or exhaust moving/bouncing I think

    I'm running these springs and car handles fine with them. So far so good for the money :smile:

    Tapping/Knocking noise- 172 cup

    FINAL UPDATE (RESOLVED)- Turns out it was the torque brace. The garage said that the bolts were too short and weren't securing it properly in the right position so the driveshaft was moving with the stiffened suspension and rough surface on the road and causing the brace to knock on the engine...

    Tapping/Knocking noise- 172 cup

    I'm thinking it's the driveshaft as I've had the torque brace secured and the knocking remains but stops when dipping clutch. The squeaking that happens too stops when steering left slightly. However, it looks like my hubs have had abs sensors at some time (172 cup) so not sure what driveshaft I...

    Bloody knocking!!

    Could that cause this? Before I go buying driveshafts and such http://www.cliosport.net/threads/tapping-knocking-noise-172-cup.795206/#post-11136129

    Bloody knocking!!

    How does the dogbone contribute to knocking? I have a similar issue and not changed mine yet. Had the car in 1st at garage and the engine moved/knocked when the clutch was lifted to biting point. I get a rhythmic tap tap tap and a squeak outside and am sure a rubbing/grinding noise.
