sounds like a faulty lambda sensor to me especially if your mpg is down

Well my knocking is being caused by the passenger inner steering joint. I assume they are a git to remove? Also my steering rack only had the top right of the sticker left on it which reads DAD if that means anything to anybody i would be grateful otherwise im going to have to buy one of each...

Ive also done this. Made a great deal of difference to the handling.

Yeah give VOSA a call and get them to phone the test station. Failing that take it somewhere else and providing it passes you can get your money back off the other garage.

Cool ill try get that done one evening or if not over the weekend

Is jacking one side up ad a time ok to check?

Ive already got solid top mounts. I dont mind looking myself but as ive never had any steering related problems I need a quick rundown on how to check everything. I will only go to a garage as a last resort.

Thanks for the answers guys: Where are the rack clamps located? I did have a look over the weekend and tried to tighten what I thought were the rack clamps but I'm not sure if I did the right ones as I couldn't find a picture of them anywhere. The ones I tried to tighten had the bolts...

Ok Ive worked out that it does this all the time not just when its cold. If I sit there with the engine off and wiggle the steering wheel I get a clunking noise which Ive now tracked to the drivers side of the car. I've never had a steering related problem before so any pointers of what I...

Did you find out what this was as mines started doing the same? Can someone explain what I need to do to check everything in Henrys list?

I would check your topmounts are tight.

really really annoying

I drilled a hole in the gromit was dead easy after that.

This is a reasonably common fault. Rain water can sometimes get down the spark plug holes and stop them from firing. My bet is one of your holes got water in it and caused that plug not to fire. You will get loads of white smoke out of the back and a loss in power. I suspect leaving the car...

Mine had this and one of my alloys was buckled.

I expect the mechanism has come off of the handle. You will have to take the door card off to inspect and repair. It's a simple job. EDIT: Just re-read your post. My did this and it was because the door mechanism needed oiling although to do this properly you need to take the door card off!

Anybody got any ideas? From reading on here I'm guessing the steering rack could be loose.

Car has developed an odd problem. When the car hasn't been driven for a while the steering makes a knocking noise when I turn left and then immediately right. If the car is stationary and I wiggle the steering wheel a few inches in either direction I get a knock when the wheel is returning...

Yellowstuff were fine when I used them on the track. The paint blistered the same as yours but I never got any fade. My main complaint is they seem to crumble a bit on the edges. Not sure what pads to try next.

Each amp has a dedicated live and fuse.

All fitted now I used the 8 gauge with the 10 gauge fuse. I'm pretty impressed with the basslink sub. It's not windows shaking bass but its just what I was after.

Ive mounted mine upright at the end of the passenger foot well. It slides up right behind the glove box with plenty of space for air circulation. Can't tell it's there unless you look for it.

in other words i dont have a second fuse suitible for the 8 gauge

The 8 gauge wiring ive got going to the front amp has a 60amp fuse. Would it be possible to use the same fuse for the sub ie. two 8 gauge power cables into the fuse and two out (one to the sub and one to the front speaker amp)

Planning on wiring up my x-mas presents tomorrow. The sub came with 10 gauge power and earth cable. Is this suitable considering its only 200w? I'm never really sure on these things. Thanks EDIT: I've just found some 8 Gauge power cable left over from my amp. If theres enough I use this...

Eiback springs and Koni Adjustables has to be one of the best all round setups for the Clio IMO

Very good setup for the road and pretty good on the track.

Needs freds pictures really then it'll be reasonably easy to see how it works

From what we saw when you had it apart theres no way its going to fail

Yeah i did have the iceberg PH1 ive finished uni now though!!
