Sorry mate, you must be doing it the same way I do stuff then. Just wing it. ;)

Cheers Roamer. Just what I needed to hear mate. If anyone knows what they are talking about its you. See you tomorrow :D I wont have to worry about the screaming Kathy, Ill be stood at the end of the road. ;)

Under normal driving conditions you wouldnt even know the car had traction control. But when going for the 1/4 mile it just bogs it down. Only one thing to do and thats turn it off and practice your starts.

Ive just been chatting to a mate of mine who races a Caterham. I mentioned that Im taking my car to the Midlands Rolling road day tomorrow to which he replied "rather you than me". So I asked him why. As his Caterham is put on the rollers on a regular basis he knows what to expect, and...

Welcome Smokey.

Wow, you actually thought I made a worthwhile post for a change. Sorry about the lack of p**n or animals in it, no doubt thats why SteveV6 hasnt posted in here yet. Just had some sideways action in the car on the way to work. The school kids looked impressed anyway. :oops: That reminds...

Spare is an alloy on Mk2s. Look out for knocking from the front suspension towers. Its a known one that Renault will sort. The famous 4k RPM rattle from the exhaust. Rattling passanger seat, dash, in fact most things rattle on them. Although I do think mine is worse than most :@...

Hi, welcome to Cliosport As Viv says the wheel problem is common. Mine is off to the left slightly. Im not sure exactly when it happened but Renault stopped providing the screwdriver. I got my car new in March and I dont have one. I think it was some time in 2002 they removed them. God...

Fingers crossed its something relatively simple like that mike. Its getting embarassing everytime I give someone a lift they ask whats wrong with my car.

Hes Midlands mate.

I had the ATKIS thing done. That stopped the very loud knocking. I used to get that even when reversing off my drive. As dogmaul says, I also get that when cornering very hard and accelerating. Horrid noise too. But I also got a knocking/vibration from the front end when cornering...

Where abouts under the car? How old is the car? I had a knocking from the front under those circumstances, and that turned out to be a fault with the suspension towers on newer 172/Cups. Renault knew about it and sorted it. Took a couple of hours. That stopped the knocking but I still...

Fred, youre an absolute (y) mate. Its really spoiling my fun not being able to chuck it into corners. By the way, you can leave the angle grinder at home for now. ;)

Right I figured I may as well go ahead and ask the question, seeing as my local dealer cant get to look at the car for another 4 and a half weeks. :@ If I pull away and loose traction or corner hard or even just turn on an uneven surface Im getting a knocking noise from the front of the car...

Mate you have no idea how much Id like to go down that route, but practical reasons, prevent it. Also not all of us are in a position to throw huge amounts of money (read any) at our cars or have more than one car. :( Id love to be able to treat my car as a plaything, but unfortunately its a...

If whoever does it does a good job then Renault will never know!! Ive not heard any bad reports about Chips away. Yet.

I love loud zorsts....................when on other peoples cars. lol It would drive me f*****g mad if mine sounded like that all the time.

Ive been in telford_mikes and his Magnex certainly does purr. Ill probably go for something like that as I have to do too many miles to work to live with bleeding ears every day. Jills K-Tec on the other hand can be heard at 70mph on the motorway when behind her ;) If I didnt do so many...

Pikey. ;)

Sorry to hear that. I just hope when they fix the faults they dont create any more. Mine also pulls to the left and has done from day one.

Ive just booked mine in to get a few things done, again!!! http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=2&TopicID=48716&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=2&TopicID=48716&PagePosition=1 I totally forget to mention about my drivers side...

To be honest Tony I dont know for sure thats what it is, which is why Ill leave them to work out whats wrong. But from what Ive been told by people I see from Cliosport thats most likely what it is. They dont want me to wait with the car either!!! Its not the suspension towers as I had that...

So far its been average, but thats just rediculous. Looking at Autotrader as we speak.

Ive just booked my car in to get the loose engine mounts sorted, passanger seat rattle (again) and numerous dashboard rattles fixed. They cant fit the car in until the 16th of October. What an absolute POS. Ford can get a car in within a few days, and just think how many people have a Ford.:@

Im in the West Mids.

Philip, one word - B4stard ;)

I love the chattering noise.

They wont for long though mate. Mine lastest around 3 - 4 months before the new set started to do the same.

Just put up with it. I had new seat runners on my car when it was two weeks old. Its rattling like a good un again now. Best fix Ive found is to wedge a crash helmet behind the seat!!!

Looking good. Welcome. :D
