    Passenger side dirty oil leak near wheels, unsure of source

    On my way home there's been nothing bad, no noises anything. Near my house are 2 mini roundabouts, went round first fine, went round 2nd and its a tad cambered and made a grinding noise like bottoming out (despite the inch or 2 arch gap..) I had a look under the car to see if it hit anything or...

    Lots of newish parts but still knocking

    Such a common problem on these cars but I just can't rid of mine. The noise started with my ktec solid top mounts and I thought they had been damaged on potholes so they have been swapped out for standard top mounts with the washer spacer (just in case) So it's the usual pulling away makes a...

    Air Horn not working

    Hi I've got an air horn with tubing and air compressor that sits in the car engine bay. I've not had a chance to give it a proper blast just a couple of beeps (it's very loud and you can't really keep beeping it). The last time I used it, I then parked up minutes later to the cinema then...

    Removing Crayon from car bodywork

    Hi all I had a chalkboard bonnet on the car as a temporary fix. But thinking he was all funny, the dumbass neighbour decided to be an ass one night and drew on the car in crayon (rather than chalk...), so he had written on the bonnet and wing "yerr boyyxx" which makes me look stupid. This now...

    Wilton House SuperCar Show

    This is on August 10th in Wilton, (SP2 0BJ) Is anyone attending? I think I'll give it a go due to it being pretty local. It's pretty samey as been to 2 previous events but nevertheless if you've ever wanted to see convoys of Lambo's and groups of Mclarens driving in then it's a good sight!

    Wheel Rubbing on Horn whilst Turning (and few other issues)

    Hi All My Clio was involved in a front impact accident and is now running back on the road. I drove it to work fine this morning, except for the bonnet not closing.. 1) Now I've resolved that problem, unsure but probably coincidence, now the passenger/nearside front wheel rubs/grinds when...

    Clio Cup vs Heavily modified Volvo v70

    Hi as you know the Clio 172 cup is the fastest thing in the planet. Anyway a friend is getting a highly modified fwd volvo v70r (1996)which has apparently over 300bhp and possibly over 400nm torque. In all comparisons of speed, his is faster with claims of 0-60 in under 5.5 and all that, but...

    Clio bunny Hop on Clutch

    If i'm pulling away/ rolling on clutch the car starts bunny hopping and it just doesn't seem right. Especially if i'm in a large queue of traffic moving slowly, means i have to keep the clutch down and rev to move slowly rather than pull away gently on clutch which I would prefer to do... Car...

    I've had this noise coming from the left side spring/ top mount which just sounds like the spring is creaking or car is bouncing. Is this a top mount or spring problem. Happens on full lock, but only reversing out my downhill driveway or turning full lock in my work gravel car park so it...

    Alternate Tyre sizes

    I own a clio cup and I believe the tyre sizes are 195/45/16 I heard somewhere you can fit 205's on too? Now is it possible to add 195/45/16 to the front and 205/45/16s to the back? Or is this being stupid? Also what would be the better set up? 195, 205 or both? For grip traction and...

    Broken mount?

    The car shakes under acceleration, the higher the rev the louder it shakes i think it may be a gearbox mount because if in 5th and you put foot down on accelerator quickly it does a really big shake caused by a section of road which was a bigger bump than it had looked:/ i believe its it's a...
