Hi Guys, Just want to check something. Under hard accelleration (usually 5k+) there is a knocking sound coming from the front passenger wheel. Also, on full lock there is quite a vicious knocking (worse when it's cold). Is this a fooked CV joint? Thanks, Tom

Any ideas? It's pissing me off now! Cheers guys

Little b******s have done it again, same panel as last time! Just a good job I didn't pay the £400 to get it repaired before! Can't wait to catch someone doing it, they won't have any eyeballs or teeth left in their head! Rant over. :mad:

I was on my way to wash my car the other day when I came to a bus parked up at the side of the road (dropping or picking people up, dunno). I looked round the bus and saw it was clear to go past it, the road was plenty wide enough. Then, as I get up the side of the bus it begins to pull away...

Just recently had my faulty ABS sensor replaced prior to the MOT, and it seems to be accellerating a lot quicker than it was before. Does a faulty sensor affect performance at all, or am I just dreaming? Cheers, Tom

Came out of a hotel to find a nasty key mark above the rear wheel arch on the passengers side. I've told the hotel that they are paying for it, there is no sign to say that you leave your car there at your own risk, and I find it a bit of a contradiction in terms when you have to leave your keys...

Just need a bit of an opinion guys. There is a loud droning nouse coming from the front left wheel that disappears when steering left, I had the same problem on my old car too, is it the wheel bearing on its way out? Cheers

I bought a buffing machine today from Halfords that runs off the ciggy lighter. So I had the engine running (bearing in mind it's been 26 degrees here today) for about an hour idling to power the buffer, and noticed a bit of steam coming from underneath the bonnet. By the time I got to the key...

Don't know if this thread has already been kicked off, but if not..who will be there? 1. Tom Wilde

Hi Guys, Last night I fired my clio up and the lights didn't come on automatically. Leads me to believe that the sensor has gone. Any ideas if this would be covered on my extended warranty before I query it? Cheers! Tom

Hi Guys, Before I got my 172 I had a Polo 1.0L. As soon as I got my clio I put this up for sale and parked it on my street, and changed the insurance policy over to the clio, so I was no longer insured to drive the Polo. Now, last night I wrote an ad for Auto Trader, and intended to take some...

Ok, come January next year I will have my first years NCB. And guess what....I'm wanting to buy a 172. I've heard of someone from Wakefield (registered on this forum) who is insured on a 182 at 18 for £800 (With his mum, dad or whoever also on the policy). Can anyone recommend any good...
