actually KDF you may have a point there... does the fbw throttle r****d the throttle in anyway... especially as Im running 95ron fuel... it may be retarding something because of pinking.. just a thought... although it still wouldnt make sence that the revs stay where they are or drop slightly...

I was driving home tonight and found that if Im in third or fourth gear doing about 4k and I floot the throttle the car accelerates as normal but at about 5k the revs stay the same or shoot up a bit while Im still accelerating, so the clutch must be slipping. I noticed this a couple of days ago...

I was with Adrian Flux for 2 years with my MR2 but they gave me a quote of over £1000 for the clio which seemed a bit odd.I went with Direct line in the end.It sounds like a good quote though

I remember reading somewhere a couple of years back about a company that was producing electric turbos... they were really compact units too.The idea obviously didnt take off though because I havent heard about them since...

Ok thanks Weyland... I think Ill give my dealer a call... did the replace the whole clutch? Matt .. yeah I did have my foot off the clutch... I know its a simple mistake to possibly make... but I a point of not riding the clutch pedal... plus I had been traveling in third gear for a lil way...

Ok... my wife and I have just driven down to tesco... there is a duel carriageway on the way there.. so Im in third gear and I just put my foot flat to the floor (no one was about) ... but something weird happened.. the revs went up to 5k then settled down to 4 1/2 k while Im still...

I had a 1.3 ford escort estate !!!! with a push rod engine... I fitted a pico big bore exhaust and I advanced the timing so far I would get the odd backfire... after driving it like that for a while and doing about 6000rpm(yes I fitted a rev counter) everywhere :devilish: all of the push rods...

I have a feeling its the power steering pump or its belt (as its a multi V) that whines... my 172 does it and my previous 1.4 Maxim did it... I wouldnt worry about it

I found the ebc pads a bit hard ... they took a bit of warming up before they started to work properly...

By the by this is the first car Ive had with ABS... and I find it fine... its only working when your standing on the brakes... the rest of the time you get the normal feeling through the pedal.. One thing that does annoy me though is that abs is never fitted as standard on commercial vans... Ive...

Does the ABS work off a fuse inside the car... Just pull the fuse on it.That would probally turn it off..

Yeah it was fun... I just got back from college .... I was trying some braking in a turn manouvers in my street (its quite a big street) and it does control the car well... the only thing I dont like about abs is that you can never be sure exactly where it is going to stop you... whereas with...

lol know what you mean... Im just off to college now so Ill give it another go... the road outside my house is like a sheet of ice...

We had about 3-4 inches of snow today so I thought I would give my abs a try out, and to be honest it was a bit strange.It stopped the car but there was a lot and I mean A LOT of feed back through the brake pedal, like a heavy buzzing.I know its meant to do that but I didnt think you would feel...

I always used white spirit for cleaning my stainless steel exhaust.Gets tar spots off really well... it kind of melts them, and you can buy the stuff by the gallon for pennies.Oh and it takes the burnt on carbon off from the inside too...

Ok Thanks guys... I got a bit worried when it happened.I could just imagine breaking cv joints and alsorts with that kind of banging.I think I will go and see renault about the engine mount bolt thing.

Hi guys... just curious about this one.Today I was at a set of lights which I pulled away from fairly hard, but when I did this I got a really loud violent banging noise from under the car.Almost like the judder you get from the wheels losing grip then grabbing again.But when that happens...
