Okay I've got a squeal which only occurs on full lock I'm guessing it's the power steering belt am I right? Heres the irony, PAS belt was fine but my fan belt was screaching like mad, took it to Hi-Q and they said they'll replace the fan belt they also advised I do the PAS belt as it's...

My pedal feels harder than normal today it was fine last night, the car still brakes as it should no loss in perfomance in that area, could I put this down to all the salt on the roads or is there something more to it?

LOL I know what with it being made like a Coke can Clio's in general, sorry Renaults in general do rattle but theres a very annoying one when I have my sub on it's not a bass rattle it's something around the rear, it seems to stop when the boots up. Anyone got any tips on what to do in order...

I've installed my new sound system today, it's 1000 watts and my car doesn't like it one bit. At night time if I have the system on the belt almost constantly squeals if I turn the system off the squeal disapears. Before having to strip half the car down to tighten the belt (Bloody french)...

I assume it's the Aux belt? Mainly only happens at night when I've got my lights on even more so when the blowers on. It will pretty much always screech for a couple of seconds upon start up no matter the time of day but at night it does it sometimes when doing along also notable when changing...

KK how good are the standard alarms, might sound silly but I can't actually set the bugger off. I can arm the car and leave the windows open it'll then go off after about a couple of minitues, I arm it and open the car from the inside via sticking hand through open window and it will go off. I...

Just pulled up with my sub on etc.. get out the car and he goes are you deaf mate, I replyed no why and he starts giving me a load of mouth which I gratfully return. End of story is he wants to contact the concil about me being a noisy nebiour, can they actually do anything about me pulling...

I thought I'd ask you lot as your far more qualified than the work experience boy who "fixed" my car today. Heres the symtoms 1. Groaning/humming noise when I turn the wheel to the left above say 20mph Does it only when I turn the wheel left, stops when I go 100% straight or right. 2...

Basically today I've had the following done Track rod end Steering Gator Rear left tyre Wheel alignment The steering wheel is now having to be put at 10oc to drive straight, I told matey who done the work this and he said the parts need to be worn in and the steering will correct...

As if my Clio didn't have enough problems. Tommorow it's going in to have a new LHS track rod end. I only noticed this new sound today as I left my headunit at home so I didn't have twin subs droaning it out. When I go above 20mph i get a clicking noise from the rhs tyre or what seems...

Under the car on the left hand side the bit of rubber which sort of looks like a coil has split if you put your finger in it you can feel grease in it, anyway. When I turn my wheel any amount to the left a get a vibrating type of humming sound I was wondering does this sound like the result...

Anyone know the paint code for it, I can't find the panel on my Clio it's a phase 2 and where the panel on my old phase 1 was theres nothing there.

Right I took it to a mate at Justyres they jacked it up and checked all the wheels for me turns out it's not the wheel bearings after all the noise I'm getting is because my track rods are knackard. Didn't really take it all in I was more intrested in the price but he said something about...

I've jacked up my front two tyres to try and find which bearing is shot, apparently if I hold the wheel at the 12 and 6'oc position I would feel some play - well I didn't. The far as I could go to say is that the driver side one sort of clicks when i freehand the wheel forward or backwards like...

My clio is making a humming noise when I get above 20, say for example I turn the wheel to the left it doesn't matter how much it makes this really deep humming sound like the engine is revving it's nuts off. Doesn't do it when I turn to the right I noticed it about 300 miles ago (Three days)...

I've got a MK1 Phase 2 with Power steering, Everytime I turn the steering ever so slightly to the left I get a horrible hmmmmmmmmmm sound, really hard to describe it, mostly does it when your doing over 30. Turning right is fine so is going straight, I've noticed the rear lhs tyre is bald...

Just got a Clio RT, 1996 model nice and modest 1.4 certainly has the power behind it. However a couple of things I've noticed, the bite point on the clutch is a lot higher than my old 1.2 RN, However I test drove another RT before getting my current one and that had a high byte too, is this...

What do you make of them, it's a 1.2 Oasis RL. Lovely condition with just under 60k on the clock. I was wondering I'm currently driving a 5 speed Clio (Well half of one if you've been following my crash thread) I was wondering does only having four gears hamper speed/mpg at all? Im guessing...

I'm pretty much decided that after my old Clio had he's little fight with an Escort and lost I'm going to buy a clean low milage 54k (with history as proof) Mk1. Problem being it isn't taxed and I'd like to drive it home legally, I was wondering if my Dad could get it taxed for me as you have...

After many of problems my Clio has finally met it's match in the shape of a Ford Escort and a women with a heavy right foot. Was turning into my work car park off my local ind. estate, had to cross oncoming traffic checked once all clear put into correct gear (2nd) and proceeded out of...

What are they by looks of them 8cm? If I put new decent 8cm ones in exactly the same place the old ones are how much diffrence would it make? Like I don't want 6x9's and stuff because it will only attract attention so I want it standard looking. I've got twin 15" subs and amp in the boot...

My rear left suspension had started creaking pretty badly, i.e hard braking, getting out the car, putting hand break on etc.. I'm wondering whats happened? I did go over a bump in the road quite fast which to be honest I didn't notice to the last minute Anyone got any ideas as to what it...

Hi whats the best product to clean all the internal engine parts, I was looking at the engine, carb mouth, rocker cover. It's in a pretty bad state and could probably do with a good flush, I know about redex which you add to your petrol but is there anything else which is better?
