    Old problem... noise!

    Mine does when the car goes over quite severe seed bumps...more of a squeeking but then its sometimes accompanied by a knocking as well! Definitely coming from the drivers side as well.

    Old problem... noise!

    I've got the same friggin noise! Been doing it for a while now. Just bought it into the dry of the workshop here at work to investigate yet again as it seems to be doing it quite alot this morning. So what we looking at? Strut top mount, ball joint and anti roll bushes? Jeeeez

    How have your clio's handled the snow then?

    My Cup can only dream of a nice dry garage...its now half the size as one half is now a shower room and the half that is left is full of fridge and freezer...

    How have your clio's handled the snow then?

    My car has been fine in the snow, but lets just say its been pretty hairy driving some of the stuff where i work. Semi Slick Yokohama AO38 shod Exiges are a tad tricky on un treated roads..

    Exige S Bargain...

    Considering they can still fetch near the 30k mark with that many miles on yes i think that is a bargain. As Peperami says, S2 Elises still commnad that kind of money with 20k on the clock. I know for a fact that it needed both front and rear clams that car, along with suspension work. But...

    2 Silver 182's, Old Woking Area

    2 spots on the drive home tonight, both at about 5.25ish Number 1 Silver 182 followed me from the Burnt Common roundabout to the Old Woking roundabout. Reg was R*54 LKK. Number 2 was at the Mayford roundabout heading back towards Westfield. Didn't catch the reg.

    cup owners roll call

    Yesssir. Im in safe. Decided to get to work early to avoid the worst of the traffic....less to hit that way.

    182: no go from cold

    The rough cold running is usually down the O2 sensors. Most O2's dont start reading till they warm up (closed loop) so they run with a set of parameters set by open loop running, so it will feel like it doesn't know how to fuel itself until the engine gains some temperature and then reverts...

    Unable To Use The Vee At The Mo.....

    Steve you are a brave man....purely because that RSi looks precariously balanced on those makeshift stands. I hope for your sake there are no high winds forecast!

    Car Damage by Other Half

    I put my other half on the insurance for our drive up to Scotland. She was more nervous about driving it than i was! But to be honest i trusted her and after she relaxed she really enjoyed it. Loved the power and as her confidence grew she started nagging me to let her drive! Unfortunately for...

    Clarkson review on the 197

    To be honest i think Clarkson is better placed than anyone of us on here to give a proper and fair opinion on the 197...you know why? Because he doesn't own a Renault Clio. If its not as good as it could be then he's gonna say so. Why do people throw their arms up in exasperation when they...

    How do you cup boys cope without...

    Thats probably the quickest and most intuitive response i've seen to end ANOTHER one of these goddamn CUP vs ABS threads! However today i was pretty much saved by ABS in an Impreza due to another driver acting like a complete numpty and pulling out on me having not looked BOTH directions...

    question for 172 cup drivers??

    MY CUP WHICH IS AWESOME has a knocking when cornering over any bad bumps but other than that and the rattles inside its all good. The knocks and bangs are just part and parcel with these things....even the Trophy boys get them im sure. As long at the engine is well looked after and there are...

    My new 182...

    Card Magician doesn't even cover it....he's a proper jaw dropping Illusionist in my opinion. Ive seen Ad's work first hand and he's bloody amazing. Nice wagon there Ad! Hope to see you at the next meet.

    50+ Renault Clio 197 Cup Cars

    Well i guess they'd have to have a few bits done but im fairly sure they would be ready to roll on the roads. Only prob is the Getrag Sequential Box....not exactly town friendly and the suspension is probably truly unforgiving......I want one!

    50+ Renault Clio 197 Cup Cars

    Well that has just convinced me about the 197....it looks beltin' in Cup guise! Now PLEASE RENAULT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, make it a road version and make it as close to that as possible! Just goes to show, the best Clio Sport versions are Cups or Trophies! ;):rasp:

    When does teh 172 top mount knock happen?

    So this washer fix for the strut top mounts, does it still apply to cars that have apparently had the mod from Renault? I had mine done when i got a very hrash sqeeking/grinding noise when i apllied full right lock (i.e when going all the way round mini-roundabouts) and it cured it but i still...

    wrote me car off

    What so you crashed your Clio and its NOT a Cup?? My god some people won't believe it....I was sure that only Cups crashed in the winter having see the amount of "0oooh i wonder how many Cups are left" comments. On a serious note mate, im glad to hear you are ok. Sorry to hear about the car but...

    cup or not

    Cup for a rawer driving experience. Both will deliver in terms of fun and thrills...just depends if you like to rough it a bit. Cup is more focused basically.

    Watchdog Now Clio Problem Story

    Re: Clio Bonnet Failure on Watchdog.. BBC1 now.. I've had to spray lube my latch mechanism up once since i've had the Cup as it became noticebly dry and was prone to jamming open. No probs since, but i suppose we have to assume all those elderly drivers in their 1.2's (not a dig) won't be as...
