My OH had an old smart and it could be driven in semi auto mode , it would get confused at a roundabout if you approached at low speed and didn't come to a complete stop, the same as what Daniel described in that you would decide you wanted to go so would be committed on the roundabout at low...
If I were you I would go and drive it for her first, that way you know why to expect without her having to find out the hard way (Ie at a roundabout like Daniel described)
A family member is in the process of setting up a small business and wants to get a traders policy in place.
Companies so far seem reluctant to cover based on postcode, and the best quote he has so far is £5.6k!
Doesnt help he is in his 20s i guess, plus we all know how traders policies are...
Not a clio but a DC2, replacing the inner CV boots which means removing the driveshaft.I have removed one side with a little bit of a fight but the NS is nearly impossible to remove.
I am using plus gas on the hub nut and the deformed section of the nut has been bent away from the driveshaft...
The only issue is a revised top mount which came into force at sometime in 2009. Also i would want to change all 4 if you have a non cup rather than just the fronts. You will find the cup rears are much more expensive than non cup ones which may sway your decision. I replaced all my non cups...

a better option would be to jack up at the base to force the balljoint back in and lock it into place. Can also try some molegrips if that isnt an option.
Nice, i thought everyone on CS hated 197s :tongueout:
Fitted some silverstones from a laguna with 225 tyres to mine for winter, fit better in the arch too (wider).
I don't know , it's dropped slightly recently with the colder weather. That's with a 6 mile commute and worked out correctly (fuelly) rather than the OBC (which says high 20s.)
Typhoon covered it really, MPG is not as bad as people make out (I have a 30mpg average over the last 2.5k). I was surprised in a good way at the handling of mine out of the box with tired suspension (mines a non cup). Brilliant cars, there also seems to be a lot of cheap ones floating around at...
