I thought it may have just been something about the renault gearbox, but asked at the renault dealership when i took it in to be serviced. they said that they also noticed that it didnt feel right and that they needed to get the box out and have a look. they said to drop it back in to be...

I need some advice please I dont wash or wax my car at present - just take it to the car wash and get it done there (I know you are probably thinking - WHAT?!?!!?!!!). Does the finish last a lot longer when the car is washed an waxed? just a couple of questions: 1.How much longer does the...

a quick question on the boxter and clean16v: because clean16vs car is obviously a flier (14.4 Qtr - top time mate(y)), does that mean that a bog standard 172 (like mine) with no mods would have quite a hard job at keeping up with the boxter? havent encountered one yet, but would like to know...

In Australia they suggest a 10,000 km service.

paddymph - mines in for its 10k service this friday. Ive got a bit of a list of the usual things for the dealer to have a look at - is this something that they should be able to fix??? or is it just a problem that isnt the end of the world and ill just turn the stereo up a bit more with??:)

Sandro - youre not alone. do a search for "creaking" and "rattles" and youll find some very long threads on this site. bottom line is that build qualiy isnt that great for the clio sport, however many say thats whats to be expected for the price of the car considering the awesome...
