Still gonna check engine mount, but what are the chances of uprated suspension (lowered/stiffend) sorting it out ?
oh and cheers for finding out what it meant for me :)
my GF mum drove into the garage door and almost ran over her hubbie at the time (who was in said garage)
And women think the reputation is undeserved ... tut tut..
Ye most fuses are the blade type fuses that you will get in most garages etc.
And I was just about to say, you should have spares or at least a place within the fusebox to keep your spares. Although I couldnt have confirmed that fact on the clio as I have never looked in the fusebox (yet)
ah, when your doing those sorts of speeds, aerodynamics comes into play a lot, just look at porche (i forget the model no) the spoiler only comes up at 80mph, because less than that speed it really isnt doing anything.
I think you are loosing this discussion :D
The back wheels.. what if I want to lock the front..
Choice is everything, I dont like to be restriceted in choice, if there was no choice we would all be driving the same car in the same colour etc.
You can, you just wouldnt be driving legally (unless you had a medical condition that prevented you from wearing one, or are reversing)
It was the government that decided that, not the manufacturors.. and after all, under Tony Blair we now live in a dictatorship
Well that would be her fault for being a stupid person that switches off things she doesnt know anything about.
The same could be said about traction control, she takes a corner too fast and has accedently switched off traction control which would have got her round safely, instead she in now...
Yes but as I said, for what they are...
I personally have done 0-60 is my 172 in 6.79 seconds.. (2 people in the car)
2.0 vs 2.0 Turbo charged,
If I put a turbo charger in my 172 I would be expecting a lot better than .19 off my 0-60 time.
Jeremy Clarkson gave them a bit of stick too, although I dont think he even drove it... he just hates vauxhalls. lol
arnt they quite slow aswell, for what it is..
You are forced to use it because as you can not predict the exact level of grip you are bound to encounter the ABS system.
I for one like to stab the brakes on a wet surface (or at least I used to) just to test for grip, and how much is there before breaking traction.
This is very hard to...
I still say ABS is one of the best safety features introduced after the seatbelt.
I hardly think manufacturors had reverse donuts in mind when they were thinking of safety.
As stated by myself in another thread I would like to see the option to be albe to switch it off, rather than be forced...
Regardless,
I think I will have a look at this engine mount. It really cant do any harm, I took it to renault and they said there was nothing wrong, so if I find a loose engine mount and fix the problem I will go mental on them.
So just to re-itterate .. what is axel tramp ?
I guess its down to personal choice then.. cause I thought exactly the oppisite to you VR6man,
I think the MK1 front looks outdated, and I really love the xenon headlights on the MK2. The MK1 looks tired and old IMHO

okay in that case, could you explain fully in lamens terms (or as close as you can get) what "axle tramp" is.
My car only bangs under wheelspin, if It gets the grip it doesnt bang.
A conversation with Renualt and myself...
ME: Hi
RENAULT: Hello sir.
ME: My car makes a banging noise when...
