Cheers Guys, First line of attack will be a visit to Renault Manchester, they still owe me a handbook (apparently they have had to order me one!!!!!). I will book in next week and let u know the outcome. I hope it is the mount, rather than a suspension issue. ta for that telephone number...

Jonathan, My starts, which induced the afore mentioned noise, were not of the 7K variety. My Car has currently done around 450miles - I drive it hardish (when warmed up) but carefully - I get these noises when performing progressively fast starts, not rev n dumps - The noise happens on the...

fine! as long as ur not in a hurry to stop on ice. traction control is a laugh on ice as well, just floor it and watch the little light go mad! Dont know what it looks like from the outside though - wheelspin no wheelspin wheelspin...........

so it sounds like a suspension modification is the only real cure then, either that or stay inside when it rains! ur right Eddd about knowing it when it happens, it sounds like a 1000cc twin with no exhaust!

I managed 135mph (indicated) in the wifes A4 1.8T, though as its the SE and not fitted with sports suspenders it was a very strange experience.
