Hey folks Bought myself a nice phase 1 tonight with some good parts fitted. The last owner hasn't done any miles on the suspension really and not had the geometry set up. On the way home it was very shaky and vibrating quite a lot at high speeds so it's definitely needing set up. Got a local...

Hey folks Ive been to see a car I really like. Its immaculate inside and out with a few choice mods for a ok price. On the test drive it sounded fine until the seller accelerated hard. For example sitting at 2k rpm in 3rd,put the foot down and a funny sort of misfire sound comes from under the...

Hey folks Just bought a 1.2 Clio. Wanted a 172 but really not practical at the mo with its mpg. It's a 2002 dynamique with 64k on it. Not mint but in good nick. Got it for £900 but needs a clutch. Still drivable and can do 70 mph but slips if your aggressive with the gas. Ive done most things...

Hey folks Looking at getting a 1.2 Clio for a second car. Seen a nice red one but it's got a little problem. Drives about town fine but as soon as you go on the likes of a motorway/dual carriage way and hit 60mph the abs and SERV light comes on. When you stop and turn the engine off then...
