Think this is the closest solution:- Guys, on a level road try lifting the clutch pedal very slowly to start the car moving without giving any gas! I`m thinking it might be something to do with the fly-by throttle in some cases. Mine happens if i actually use the throttle whilst im lifting the...

Sat in traffic for nearly an hour today and I am sure this problem is getting worse! Cannot afford a CLIP test until the end of the month so any help appreciated. Idle is very rough (missing badly) and problems only during low revs (i.e. between 500rpm and 1500rpm). No stalling though unless...

Car has K & N Panel filter, performance back box and matched inlet. Had these problems before any of the modications. Thanks

Any recommendations out of the following? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s344p0 Have 2 cheapy rears tyres (tread never seems to go down!) and 2 195 width Goodyear eagles on the front. Looking to try 205's this time round for more grip. Thanks

I think it is drive by wire, it's a 2002 FF 172. What were you thinking? Thanks

Are the home U380 readers any good to diagnose this type of issues or still a trip to the stealers? Cheers

And for 172 as well?

Fitted jubilee clip as the standard metal clip had weakened and released a stack of grease! Used a 100mm one and worked a treat!

Found the problem with mine, very weird sensation when full lock to left or right. Took front wheel off and lots of grease everywhere! Outer CV boot the problem!

2 Tonne (and better than some real cheapos) from Lidls for £12. Don't shop in Lidls but found this deal on a website. Works a treat and jacks the car up nice and high ;-)

got some 100MM jubilee clips from local motor factors so hoping these will hold out this time!

Have the pleasure of cleaning mine tomorrow when I try and clean the grease which has spilled out. Managed to get 2 100mm jubilee clips and wondering if they will be too thick to tighten the rubber boot to the shaft? The only ones my local parts centre had were 12mm. Will these be ok? Have...

Noticed mine had grease in the same place. Mine clunky on full lock, as it has only recently started doing this is it best to replace the shaft or get an outer cv boot repair kit? Thanks

Same position as you, had a full home service (plugs, oil + filters) and seen mine reduce from over 38 mpg to 30 mpg with addition of matched inlet and k & n panel filter Dan

I see.............not my car but a good idea!

Sorry what does this mean?

Just bled my brakes for the first time, going to test them on route to work tomorrow!

This is good to know, is it a full allignment check or geommetry as I have similar issues!

Same here! Also my first car was an MG Metro - shame it wasn't the turbo. cheers!

Think these will be my next purchase, nice height IMO!

All part of the fun!!

I would miss all the extras on the FF especially with the high miles I drive daily. With the range of mods available the FF can also be pushed to high limits (obviously more expensive as it is cheap to simply lose weight). Still, not driven a Cup so do not know what the speed differences are...

Love these, was so close to getting one before I got my 172.

ps. I work in insurance claim industry and assume you were injured in the accident? If you were not only will you get the value for your car, a setup funded by all insurers (see MIB) allows you to pursue an injury claim in the event of an uninsured / untraced driver ;)

Real shame, this bad weather is seeing a number of Clios off the road :-(

............well had a day off today as major roads were blocked into Exeter. Giving the car a full service and also fitting matched inlet - this is the weather I had to contend with today! Also took out the pollen filter - cannot believe how black it was!

Very common fault, I got one off a megane at local scrappy!
