    Accelerating "flatspot"

    Recently noticed this now I'm paying attention to my fuel ecomony, if I accelerate in any gear at any speed there is hesitation up until 2k revs then it picks up speed. I can tell when I hit 2k revs without looking at the speedo as I can feel the car pull a bit more once it's hit it. Any...

    Gearbox oil

    What will my car think to me topping it up with Halfrauds Automatic Transmition (aka. powersteering fluid)? Got a litre sitting at home and as I've got a gearbox leak the lever has become notchy so it's time to lose to skin getting some oil in again. Will it mix with Castrol gearbox oil, I...

    Exhaust blowing

    I've recently found my exhaust is blowing on my Clio, not majory but I can't stall the car by blocking the exhaust. Also when the engines running if I stand near the exhaust it doesn't sound right - Can also hear what I think is a rattle sound from it when I get to 3k I'll have to try and get...

    Car sluggish with sub on

    I don't know if it's my imagination but when I have my system on the car seems sluggish in acceleration - even taking into account that it's a 1.4 and on a good day scooters give it a run for it's money. Is it at all possible, or am I just imagining it?

    Alloy DIY refurb

    Was giving me car a clean today and realized just how bad my rear alloy is kerbed. I was thinking is it possible to get a touch up pen for it, it's not a special color as you can see in the pic just a standard alloy. They're nothing special so I don't really want to pay for it to be...

    Color coding door strips

    I've just been paid and I've decided to put a bit of money into my car like wheels etc.. I really like the color of it, think for an old/first car it's quite an appealing colour. However; the door strips lets it down, they are black and minus the black bits on the color coded bumpers, which...

    Cleaning injectors

    I made a post recently about my car kangarooing around when I first start out, it might be down to the injectors being blocked? I have also noticed it's a bit sluggish and there seems to be a halt in acceleration everytime it touches 2k rpm no matter what gear its in. I'm wondering whats the...

    Renault Kangaroo/Clio

    My Clio thinks it's a Kangaroo. If I just start out in the morning, the car kangaroo jumps I think it's when I'm in a high gear and the revs drop, but enough revs to do it when the engines warm if you know what I mean. Basically I've got to thrash the car everywhere at high rpm for a good...

    If I just start out in the morning, the car kangaroo I think it's when I'm in a high gear and the revs drop, but enough revs to do it when the engines warm if you know what I mean. Basically I've got to thrash the car everywhere at high rpm for a good 10 mins or it will start bouncing around...
