I paid £270 iirc for parts and labour the other month:approve:

Well its a common fault with the mounts... Mine are fine apart from when the TC kicks in. Its got to the point where I turn it off to get out of junctions in a hurry and the like... Its no where near bad enough to replace the mounts yet though:)

The thump, thump, thump, thump....you get from the traction control/engine smacking the sub frame when pulling from a junction in a hurry:mad: Few rattle's, seating position/gear lever/wheel size could be better. Oh and it would have been nice if the spec included a heated front screen:(...

Loud when pressing on and quiet(ish) when in traffic or on the motorway is the way forward:)

+1 Much better than a 1.2/1.4.... Bit unlucky but just blag as much as you can out of them.

Maybe now you know there is a "proper" way to use it might realise that its actually a lot better than not having it:S

The CC only uses extra horses when the AC is on. When its not on its the same as one without. Not in summer which is what the AC is for. In winter you only use it to demist the windows (which has its own button) or once in a while just to keep it working properly. I can't fault it really...

If your getting 50mpg on the computer its not going to be worse than 45 if you do the sums which is still very good.

You only get those figures on a good steady long run. But at the same time my normal mpg is around 31-33 with a mixture of town driving to work/shopping and going for a good thrash on on the moors on the weekends. Interesting thing is my old man does very similar most of the time in a 406 hdi...

Very good going, best I've had so far is 45mpg over 90 miles. I could have got a few more but I got bored near the end and gave it a short blast.

Mine only has a few. Drivers door card buzzes at certain revs. Something near the drivers air vent buzzes, not sure if its the vent or the trim around it. But the worst one comes from the boot lock area. kind of clicking/clunking noise. I think its coming from inside the cylinder part but not...

But it's not going to happen next year:). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/3429019/Labour-U-turn-on-car-tax-rises.html

I read on Pistonheads last week the gov are going ahead with a U turn on the new tax. It doesn't include new cars and might only be for a year or two. They blamed the crunch for the change of heart lol.

If you want sound just pull the air feed off the right side of the box, its free:)

I fully admit they look daft/chavy and I never use them but I've never been blinded by someones fog lights (apart from rear ones) before tbh.

It was a classic:D http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354821&highlight=j+cloth

PMSL:lolup::lolup::lolup: That has to be the funniest thing I've read since some numpty put a piece of J-cloth in place of the filter and sucked it into the engine. Some people........:S

I've never driven a Mk1 before but the comparisons you make all sound about about right to me. Good write up:)

I was thinking of getting one from ebay but i'm sure I read that the wireing is different or something?

Cheers lol. I didn't get the CD changer either which is a bugger because I would kill to plug an MP3 player into the standard head unit:(

Mines an import if that makes any difference? It was also registered in Oct 03 iirc.

You can't just put that down to to "problems". The CTR cost more to buy in the first place because its a bigger class of car.

You can just pull the pipe off the right hand side of the air box if you want a nice sound;) and I haven't noticed any decrease in performance what so ever with that method.

Mines a 53 and just has the ESP. Saw a couple of other 53 platers with cruise when I was looking though.

I would recommend them. For the money they cost not much comes close. They are quick, handle very well, look good (yet understated), have all the mod cons you need, safe and (although not the main reason to buy one) very good on fuel. I don't think so far (touch wood) they cost to much to...

Either you drive like a complete tit everywhere you go or you need to take it back to who ever mapped it and get them to fix it lol.

Sorry for the poor pic Xbox 360 Tannoy 6.1 speakers with a Paradigm sub upgrade Dennon AVR 1803 NEC 720P projector at 92" at the min 32" Panasonic CRT TV My laptop Thomson PVR Harmon/Kardon/Microsoft do everything remote

On a long run I've seen 40-45mpg easy and around 30-34 general so it ain't bad:)

Or if that fails do it again and type "fixboot" where you typed chkdsk /r

+1 Plenty of better things to spend 2k on imo
