Does anyone insure their Clio on a classic policy? I've got the opportunity to buy my girlfriend's car for next to nothing so I was thinking of using that for commuting and then the Clio for weekends. It's a Ph1 so is nearly 15 years old. I don't have a garage which might be an issue.
For the...
Since the weather got cold in December my aux belt started giving a little chirp on start up. Gradually it got worse and when dry steering in the morning the steering would be 'lumpy'. I had the aux belt changed which cured the problem for a a month. Now it's back with a vengeance.
This morning...
My offside drive shaft was knackered. I had 330 miles to drive to get home. I tried to get an OE one but time was not on my side. I fitted one made by 'European Bearing Technologies'. Anyway, the car drives okay except for a resonance at high revs and in second gear it knocks quite loudly...
When I accelerate through the gears, it's fine until I get to third gear from about 4-5k rpm. The whole car shakes noticeably. It's not wheel balance as the steering wheel doesn't shake.
I've checked the engine mounts and given the engine a proper good shove and it hardly moves. When I first...
These lights come when I'm driving quickly and take a sharp left turn. As soon as I stop and turn the car off, they stay on for about five seconds after the other lights have gone out but then they go out as well. They never come on otherwise at any speed or if turning right. I've plugged in a...
I tried to fit some 15(16?)mm front spacers yesterday. Bolt on hub centric. I attached the spacer to the hub okay but my standard wheel nuts were too long. I only discovered this when I snapped a wheel bolt by over tightening it. Due to the pressure applied against the hub by the over tightened...
I had a new bearing pressed into one of my rear discs. They discs are only about 8k miles old otherwise I would have replaced them. After I'd had the old bearing pressed out and the new one in I noticed that the dust cover wouldn't stay on properly when I was reinstalling them. I looked closely...
Has anyone else experienced this? Since I had the car there was always a tiny silver scratch there but now it's getting worse. The cover is clipped on correctly so I don't understand why it would start happening now.

Ideal for anyone looking to save costs whilst still having a fun car!
A week last Thursday I bought this Ph1 172 that Russ Rallye was selling on here:

It is my second Renaultsport. I had a DB 197 F1 about two years ago which I sold to help fund a house deposit. I loved that car. Mostly standard apart from a decat Mongoose exhaust with no centre...
