so after seeing Dan Freeman's thread about selling up his VX220's and getting an Exige it has got me thinking,
well actually since i sat in dan's VX220 last month i had been considering it at the back of my mind,
i really have lost interest in the clio, i haven't seen it for approx 6-7 weeks...
thats the thing, i think it possibly does,
i need to investigate the clio over the weekend
i did notice whilst browsing last night though that yours was a lot better spec for the dollar than the others.....
you have missed bugger-all mate,
i haven't seen the car in 6-7 weeks, can't seem to get hold of my mate either, still in 2 minds what to do with it, tbh i can't even be assed to talk about it

after speaking to my previous mechanic, he explained that the springs didn't need to be the same as such, (i.e. the springs do not need the same amount of coils, unlike what the other mechanics said).
just because it has less coils doesn't mean its not right, the spring could have a different...
cheers for the reply owen,
I am thinking it may be best to change over all shocks and springs as i have the 2 leaking dampers/struts, so that would be all front suspension and rear dampers (dependent on what i can get),i take it the struts/dampers are not inter-changable for the 172/182 and the...
I am currently working away from home during the week and upon leaving yesterday i could hear the usual Wheel bearing noise when they decide to go, with the thought of doing another 200 miles on it before i could ge it looked at i turned around, switched cars and got the gf to take it to a local...
