    Gearbox whine @ low revs

    That all sounds very expensive to be look at, fixed. Might try gearbox oil on next service. See if that helps at all.

    Gearbox whine @ low revs

    Mine has done this for a long time. All gears roughly between 1500-4000rpm when off the throttle. As soon as i press the clutch the noise goes. Apart from being annoying and making my car sound rubbish there doesn't seem to be any other symptoms of this so i have just learnt to ignore it. It is...

    So they used tipex to mark the position of the camshaft when fitting the new belt? Scientific!

    Clio 182 BG paint correction

    Thanks for the reply. I actually didn't see the detailing sub forum some how. I should of posted this thread in there. I did look through but couldn't see anything referring to similar problems. Would i want to use a cutting polish to try and get the paint off and scratches out? Would i polish...

    Clio 182 BG paint correction

    I finally got myself motivated enough to give the Clio a good clean both inside and out. Its so nice knowing your car is sitting outside shining and looking brand new. Well it would look brand new apart from the imperfections. Now I'm not sure how to deal with them. If anyone could point me in...

    Run flats

    My mate has a 335i m sport coupe. Took the Bridgestone runflats off for a set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. The ride, handerling and grip where all greatly improved whilst the tyre noise and wear went down. BMW didn't care and the warranty on the car wasn't effected in his case.

    Squeaking Bloody Breaks!

    I ran standard front brakes for 2 years with no squeaks. Last month had brembo HCs and Renault pads fitted and now it squeals when breaking. Mainly when cold but if i don't drive hard it will do it for the whole journey. The squealing must be the brembos. I don't mind it to much though.

    Sticking throttle at high revs

    Ok i will have a look. I think my mechanical skill will stretch to doing that. I had a look on my lunch break and whilst im not 100% sure, i think it may of been the mat like geoarge suggested. I will test it later to be sure. I really hope it is that.

    Sticking throttle at high revs

    I'm not sure to be honest. I'd say its unlikely sue to the fact that i will regulary put my foot down and this has never happened before. I have had the same mats for over 2 years. I will have a look though. Maybe take the mat out and see if it happens again. Whilst i cant say 100%, i am pretty...

    My upgrade iPhone 4s

    Nice and simple. Put new sim into your current iPhone 4 and register. Then carry on using that phone as you have done for the last 2 years. You will receive a brand new iphone 4s in a sealed apple box. Put this on ebay and sell it. Jobs a gooden.

    Exhaust hanging low by the cat?

    Not sure what the part was called on the system. I just asked the parts guy for a cat to centre section clamp. He knew what i was talking about. My standard one lasted over 5 years before it cracked. Id say it looked more heavy duty then that one from ebay. It had a bit more girth from what i...

    Hi, Sorry I didnt get back to you on friday, got carried away with my weekend. So on friday I drove to my local garage. They were empty so my car was straight on the ramp. 15 minutes later the part was fitted and I was driving away with my exhaust back up where it belongs and sounding like...

    Exhaust hanging low. Noises.

    Thanks for the reply. If I remove the centre section clamp do you think it would be possible to just push the cat and silencer up so they line up straight again? I will attempt to get a replacement clamp from renault. I don't like the look of the cheap ones on ebay. Would i need any sealent? I...
