Haha, many thanks for a little peace of mind! It's quite an unnerving noise :rasp:

Hi everyone, just to warn you this could be long, so thanks to anyone who reads it. I have a 1998 1.6 RXE and it has just gone over 100k miles. I started getting a humming noise which disappeared when I turned left. When I jacked each wheel of the car up, I found that the rear passenger side...

I expected that would be the case, cheers for your help!

Hi everyone, Right I've discovered my cambelt is overdue for a change but am pretty tight on money at the mo. I'm not technically minded although my dad is so although I suspect he (or me with his help :P) could change the belt, i'd rather pay for it, and have a friendly chap who will do it for...

I'm not sure why but as a personal preference i don't like red/black on these models, looks nicer on a 197 IMO. However i think if you're going to do that you should do it all except the diamonds, there was one recently on here that had red diamonds for a bit, looked awful. I think best thing...

It might look like a bargain, but at the end of the day i'd say it's a far safer bet to not buy the car - you might be missing a bargain, but you've given a pretty hefty list of things you are worried about. You're parting with quite a bit of cash, so you really need to be worry free when you're...

My friend wrote his clio off and they paid within a few days, seemed pretty good.

I've squeezed 50 out of mine with a bust exhaust and one under inflated tyre... it is only a 1.6 though ^^

Ah excellent, i had visions of my student loan disappearing on my car... well it probably will anyway. Cheers for the help!

Yeah, this is what i had assumed it most likely was, its a fairly old car as well - i'm assuming this could end up being expensive if it is this? cheers

No it does it everywhere, dual carriageways, on the drive etc, it's not just a small amount either.

I have to pull the wheel slightly to the right to go in a straight line on my ickle RXE and i refuse to accept its going to be anything expensive because it's not allowed to be. The cheapest option i can think of is that there has been some work on the steering wheel and it was not replaced...

Depends on their valuation, they use Glass's don't they? One of my mates just wrote of his 56 plate campus, paid £4200 at a dealer, just got £4900!

Seems a bit pointless, but kind of cool in a way. Get a needle and spring, connect it to the loud pedal and write 'Warp Speed' on the gauge.

Nah, i've never met him actually, he frequents a biking forum i'm on, he'll go far with his camera though, i'm sure!
