Happened to me. And I shut my bonnet properly!!!
Really bad design, I usually attack mine once a month with WD40 just to make sure it keeps working!
The worst roads in the UK in view are in South Lanarkshire, fookin terrible even on standard suspension. As soon as you cross the county line, smooth......
While we're on topic in a way. How long on average would a set of Ferrodo crossed drilled? and greenstuff pads last. Bought the car with them newly fitted and im clueless in this topic.
^^ Indeed sir, as long as its not as icy as this morning though.. :eek:

1.2 to 172 = Quick!
Tractor to 172 = Supersonic! :cool:

Hey folks
As some of you may have been aware of I picked up a 53 Monaco Blue 172 off John185k today.
To give you an idea I have been driving a 1.2 8v Clio for 4 years!
First impression = WOW!
