Most of its already been said Ian, but the fuel economy and rough idle could also be the lambda (oxygen) sensor being faulty. If you are changing the dog bone mount, I would recommend changing the top mount too, as failure on one leads to the issues with the other.
Hope you get the car back...
Hi Stacy,
Yeah, Id change the two top mounts at the same time, its best when doing the front suspension like that. Like you would have to change both shock absorbers even if only one was gone. The top mounts should eliminate the creak. As for the smell, are you getting the smell inside the...
I think thats a good price considering the age of the car now. If that makes the 197 affordable I would pull yer mans arm off to get the car tbh :approve:
Over here in Ireland the Dynamique is equivalent to your Dynamique S. The SX has the additional body kit that I paid for. The main difference between yours and mine is auto lights/wipers. Mine came with the 16" Canasta alloys and flared arches as standard.

Best Ive ever seen from my Mk3 1.4 was 620 kilometers to a full tank. That was mostly motorway driving with some spirited foot down action and town driving thrown into the mix. That works out to 385 miles. On average with mostly city driving I will get about 520kms or 323 miles to a tank, and...
Nice one. Saw both of these at FCS last year. Cant say Im a fan of the euro look, but credit where its due. A lot of work very well done. Best of luck with the remainder of the project!
Beautiful car. Im very jealous that you get to play in a vee AND a 197 :o
If I was getting a vee it would have to be either BG or Inferno tbh. May I ask, when detailing what do you use to clean up the exhausts? I have a new back box coming for mine and want to know how best to care for it...
Stupid video. I dont know about buying an American car, unless it was a 67 Shelby Mustang GT500 :approve:
Although, Im renting a Mustang in less than 6 weeks when I head over to America :o
I suppose it might be a good idea to go into a scrappies and take one from there? You might need to take the whole shifter shaft and gaitor though, I know how well bolted on they are!!
Welcome along to CS mate! Always nice to see another Mk3 on board, and congrats on the new arrival! Adam1942 has a dump valve and induction kit on his TCE and it sounds pretty decent, not too chav for my tastes :o
Theres a nice wee spoiler on the K-Tec website. For me it works nicely cos its subtle and not as in yo face as the cup spoiler. Im saving me cash for the K-Tec spoiler :approve:
They are either the Mahonia or Kimono wheels afaik
Friend of mine put 17s on her old Mk3 and didnt need anything doing. Went with a 45 profile tyre iirc.
Wont be cheap anyways. Its due out in October so Im looking forward to seeing the rip off Irish price. Considering the Megane 225 started at €37,000 here Im expecting the new one to hit over €40,000.
Sometimes I really hate Ireland.
I had a Laguna 3 loan car for 2 weeks and one of the lads sat in the drivers seat while I was standing outside less than a foot away. The engine wouldnt start even though I was standing that close. The key card has to be actually inside the car to be able to start the engine.
In the Clio 3 its called the toxic fume filter warning light which means theres something dicky with the emissions. Could be either the coil pack starting to give out or the lambda sensor. Either way shes throwing a code so get her plugged in asap. You will probably notice an increase in fuel...
Well Al, didnt know you was on here too! Are you gonna spray the wheels too?? If so then Id be painting the calipers a colour thats gonna stand out behind the wheels. EG, my calipers are yellow and hopefully I will be getting the wheels powder coated anthracite. IMO, the colour should...
