    Can anyone tell me if there is any physical difference between the 65BHP and 82BHP clio diesel engine - or is it the ECU that gives it the hike? Thanks.

    mk2 172 interior question

    Does anyone know if the interior trim has changed colour since the mk2 was released? I ask because I got hold of a steering wheel from an 04 mk2 172 and Im sure it looks black compared to my original one which is slightly blue - although it could be my imagination! Thanks in advance...

    172 lower on drivers side!

    I have noticed that my car is slightly lower on the drivers side, I know I drive the car 99% solo and that I am not the lightest person, coupled with the car being lowered but is this expected? I was thinking of swapping the rear suspension from L-R, but is this a good way to go? I also...

    Why is it that Luxobarges get annoyed

    .. and subsequently get aggressive when you werent the easy meat they thought you ought to be? Over the past two days Ive been subjected to psychopathic antics by an LS400 and Audi S8. A Jaguar LWB V12 (?) didnt like being overtaken but after a little tailgating (from him) settled down...

    Cat buzzing & car out of warranty

    Well, thats the situation. Im aware that the cat is about £800 - based upon people paying £200ish @ a 20% contribution.... What should I do? A de-cat would be the cheapest option but there is the problem of the "post" lambda sensor - isnt there? Ive also got the twin cat exhaust.... Spoke...

    Clio vs CBR600

    Off the line you know what happened - however... Between around 90-!20/!35 with the CBR restricted to 5th gear it was pretty evenly matched......except on the bends where his commitment wavered due to experience.....

The occifer concerned issued a £60 fixed penalty notice and alluded to the fact that a few more mph was ban territory. I thought that 30mph+ above the speed limit was an autobahn(!). Anyone know for...

    Toyo Proxes

    Ive been using these for a couple of days now.... I find that the ride is now smoother and quieter - bear in mind I m on AVO springs. The car doesnt seemed to be as affected by camber changes and longitudinal ruts. The back now comes around markedly in comparison to the Contis and makes for...

    Highspeed noises

    I have noticed that when flat out, my passengers keep telling me about a noise they hear - it sounds to me like the tyres hitting transverse ridges on the road. It only seems noticeable between 130-140. I dont see how the dealer can help me with this. Any clues?
