Someone already did that by speccing hearing aid brown interior. It is a nice car though.

Everything's polybushed on mine and my engine mounts are K-Tec/Vibratechnics, I got absolutely no extra vibration from any of them at all.

What's the tax and insurance like on that?

I didn't change a damn thing when I put Eibach Prolines on mine, 7 years later and my standard dampers and top mounts are still going strong and i've done trackdays with them too.

Next thing is to loosen off the 4 engine mount bolts and try pulling the engine forward, if that doesn't fix the knock then you might have to start looking elsewhere.

It does sound like the manifold knocking, loosening the engine mount bolts and pulling the engine forwards is a good shout, it's worth trying it before you spend anymore money on garage time.

Have you checked the heat shields aren't loose? Although that's more of a metallic rattle than a knock.

Good stuff, try the rock test then.

That's nice it's looks so good in silver, i'd love a Focus ST but my dog would f*ck the interior up.

Have you tried rocking the engine with your hand to see if there's any movement? If there's any play in the mounts you should be able to move it a bit and possibly hear the knock. Are you sure it's not your suspension top mounts? They can knock like a b*tch.

What a sh*t heap, you must be so embarrassed to be seen driving that old thing, just to help you out and spare you the shame of people seeing you in it, i'd be willing to take it off your hands, i'll be hard but i'm willing to bare the shame for you, I know I know you don't have to thank me, i'm...

Welcome to the club, where abouts in the West Mids are you? iIm from Coventry and there are quite a few West Mids members dotted all over the region, even as far north as Stoke, get yourself in the West Mids regional section to see what's going on meet wise.

I'd say no, even the rubber one leaks from time to time, so i'd expect the copper crush one's to drip like a leaky tap, I could be wrong though as i've never used one on the sump.

Could do they're rubber after all, but usually if they're gone the whole engine and box moves and causes the manifold to clunk into it's heatshield, plus your throttle response won't be as sharp because of all the movement. Also if you start chasing squeaks and rattles in a Mk2 Clio you'll be...

In the park and ride car park at the Memorial park 11am, still there at 12:30pm when I left.

A loud clunking when letting the throttle on and off, even at slow speeds, it's usually the dog bone that's the problem, but doing all three at once is usually best.

The one on the right with the rubber O ring, the other one is the copper crush washer for the gearbox.

Definitely needs to be toned down a bit, the whole point in projects like that is to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, not all 'look at me i'm a fast car in a van's body', kind of defeats the point.

Yeah well as a BMX enthusiast you've probably fell on your head a few times, so you can be forgiven.

Oh I don't know, some decent rims get it slammed on the deck with some wicked stance and it would still look sh*t.

My steering wheel vibrated so much at 60mph it phased out of our space time continuum, but when I got it to 80mph it went back to normal. The first time my headcase best mate got in the car he screamed 'F*CKING SLOW DOWN MAN'! Because the car was rattling that much, I told him I wasn't even...

OH FFS not another one! Metro's are cool and that's the end of it, anyone that say's otherwise is wrong.

It upsets me that so many people were embarrassed to own Metro's, I had one as my first car, it was an utter shed that was keyed on every panel, the whole thing vibrated and rattled so much I thought it was was going to fall apart at times, but I loved it, it was freedom and independence from...

Yeah it's got a real 'f*ck your show car sh*t i'm all business' look to it.

I love ugly ducklings like this, the wheels make it look so purposeful.

Love the wheels on the black one in the last shot.

Clio 172, faggoty little woman's car.
