Staff discount, you work at the place I'm thinking on that road?

Haha it's just a first car which tbh he will end up crashing like every other 17 year old so 1k is reasonable. The one on 100k looks all good in pics but just not sure how many miles the engines can take.

Well my boss has enlisted me to help him pic out a first car for his son, he wants a clio and obv only a 1.2 for insurance. Went to look at one today but it was a wreck, gunk in the oil cap, didn't appear to have oil in the engine!! Plus some other things. Anyway looking to spend £1k max What...

Thanks for the reply mate just always wondered as I sometimes have to plan journeys via a shell garage instead of any normal one.

I had my car mapped at RS tuning and it was mapped for v-power and that's all I've ever used since what would happen with if I used another high octane petrol? Or a lower one?

Next step was top mounts as I'd told him they were a common problem on the clios, there was some...

Track rod ends look fine, adjusted the tracking the other day. Ball joints are ok as well. The car seems to pull all over the road, kind of feels like the steering sticks in the direction you turn it instead of coming back to centre.

When doing 3 point turns or on full lock at slow speeds my car makes a knocking noise, it also judders. I was thinking cv joint problems but they seem ok, is this the dreaded top mount knocking? do I need new mounts or just the washers that people have used.

What times were people getting? Best I did was 15.2 it was my first time up in the Clio and I was doing the runs with half a tank of petrol. I really wanted to do the time attack course but after I paid for it I went over to the start line to be told I needed a helmet which I didn't have so got...
