Had a look at all of the engine mounts today and found that the upper drivers side mount had completely split! Couldn't get the lower mount out but it looked ok anyway so we left it.

Lol yeah it certainly surprises a few "super cars" lol and high end German cars! I love it but the conditions have to be right. I like the clio because it's just so chuckable! Paid £1030 for the clio.

My stage 3 VX220 turbo! :D bit of a different beast lol.

I'm going to try this tomorrow. Any photos of your work would be appreciated! :D

Thanks, live near Lymington, are there any local meets? We're going to join this: http://www.bdcc.org.uk/events/ Looks like great cheap fun and perfect for the Clio!

We picked up the new track rod ends today and fitted them. Had some issues removing the old joint as it was so badly worn but lots of heat from the blow torch got it off, the new ones were easy to fit so then we just needed to adjust the tracking. We don't have any fancy equipment so we did it...

My Brother and i have been looking for a light, fast and cheap car for a while and we finally decided the only way to go was the Clio, we want to use the car for hill climbs / auto tests in our local car club. It also doubles up as a car we can lug kayaks around with. After a bit of looking...

When you're driving it sounds as if it's the offside that's gone but not 100%. I think the best thing to do is just take them out and have a...

Ahh that's great thanks very much. Where do you buy the Powerflex bushes from, i have them on another car and have been pleased with the results.

I've just bought a clio cup 172, pleased with the car but there are a couple of issues. Under hard acceleration there's a horrible grinding / knocking which i'm pretty sure is engine mounts. Is there one that normally goes first and what's the best way to check them? I see the offside mount is...

Hi Everyone, Heard lots of good things about this forum so thought i'd sign up! My brother and i have just bought a 2003 Clio cup 172. We were looking for a fun car for hill climbs as well as using it to lug kayaks around in the summer. This is what we went for...
