    Is it true

    I was talking about mechanical grip rather than aerodynamic grip. I would have thought this effect would be negligible at normal road speeds unless the cars front end and underside has been modified.

    Is it true

    Geordiepaul - correct I think. If you have less ground clearance you will probably have to run the car stiffer to stop it grounding out. Stiffer = less grip.

    Is it true

    In theory lowering your car may affect wet-weather grip, but there are lots of other factors involved (tyres, tyre pressures, srings, dampers, anti-roll bars etc.). One reason why race cars are set up softer in the wet than the dry is to do with weight transfer. For instance, on a right-hand...

    Dealer Stamp ! Heeeeeeeeelp !

    Daipac, I have a list of stuff that my local Renault dealer has asked me to send to Renault UK. One of them was a photocopy of the dealer stamp. I dont have a dealer stamp either - just the chassis number on the back of the book. Renault dealer seemed to think that would be good enough...

    Renault say my 172 ECU needs a Quality Control Upgrade

    Ive got a Linux 172 too. It only cost 200 quid, but instead of pressing the keyfob I have to type: dropn -front -drvr -now -noalarm to get in. My mate has a 172 XP, which is like a 172 98 but its a different colour and it needs a turbo kit to get it off the drive.

    Couple of (probably) noddy questions

    I thought the ticking was perfectly normal - hot metal cooling down and contracting. Mine does it.

    how much would you pay for....

    Captain, your thoughts please on the castor change. Traditionally, a castor increase would give you a more positive turn-in but would reduce ultimate front-end grip (e.g. good initial turn-in, transitioning to understeer mid-corner). How much of an increase are we talking about here...
