I had my car mapped at RS tuning and it was mapped for v-power and that's all I've ever used since what would happen with if I used another high octane petrol? Or a lower one?

Outside quartermile, saw a white twingo 133 with chequered pattern on side and a silver 1*2 on turinis parked behind it at about 11pm when I came out the gym.

When doing 3 point turns or on full lock at slow speeds my car makes a knocking noise, it also judders. I was thinking cv joint problems but they seem ok, is this the dreaded top mount knocking? do I need new mounts or just the washers that people have used.

Was driving for about 5 mins today and then noticed my petrol light was on even though the gauge isn't near the bottom. It's definitely got smoggy petrol in it as it was on the second last marker last night and I put £10 in and have only driven about 3 miles before the light came on. Any...

My friend is looking at buying a 51 plate Clio 1.2 but has been told it needs the throttle body replaced, how much will that cost? Is it a straight forward job? Any help would be good thanks

Well my Clio has been feeling a bit sluggish lately and seemed to have a flat spot from 3.5k-5k. Weirdly it felt like I lost my remap which smoothed out the power from 3k-5k. So anyway I changed my oil after 6k miles since it's last change (anal I know) but the flat spot is gone an it seems too...

It scans the car says there is one code but just comes up with na 01 01. Also put it onto my friends Clio 1.2 campus as his engine light...

I've just had a look at both my front discs and on the inside of both discs there are big pitted sections. It's like chunks of the discs have fallen off where the centre of the pad touches and causes the friction. Is this caused by something being seized? It currently has standard discs and some...

As above my local garage are fitting them just now but they think the washer that has a tab on the back of it is made to fit aftermarket shocks? Im running uprated springs. Car is a 182 ff. Does the tab need ground off?

I've seen this a few times in the Colinton area. Drove past it yesterday on colinton road at the barracks so thought I would give it a flash to say hi as I think there a member on here. However I think it was there other half/daughter driving as I got a weird look. The reg looks like clip or Clio?

Got some camber bolts waiting to go on but not sure on what degrees they should be adjusted to for a "fast road" set up. Seen alot of people saying -1.5 but is this an additional -1.5 to whatever the standard degrees is or is it -1.5 overall? Thanks

Silver 02 plate ph2 172 with black/anthracite wheels outside the shops at buckstone. At about 2ish today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSJ-HzNWJGM&feature=youtube_gdata_player I randomly came across this video and it's just mad. It reminds me of grand turismo when. You can have a race with any car in it. I mean clio's sharing the track with Porsche race cars

Just a quick question, I'm going to be ordering a new 182 wheel from Renault and just want to know if it comes with a centre cap or not?

Well after crashing I want to refresh my suspension/steering. The crash caused only bodywork damage but the front right wheel took the weight of the car on it as it landed in the field :S Basically want to get new ball joints, track rod ends and going to get camber bolts too. What about the...

I'm getting compensation for a damaged tyre from a pothole, I'm going to get a pilot sport 3 so I think I'll buy another one myself so I'll have to ps3s on the front. My rear tires are a crap brand so I want to change those as well but don't have the money for ps3s on the back. I was thinking of...

This is the second time in 2 days I've seen old people driving a Clio sport what's the deal with it? Was heading to the gym on Wednesday night ad saw an old guy driving a standard black 172 he had White hair and I would guess was over 60. Next day on the way home from work I see a woman 50+ I...

Not sure if this is the right section but can anyone put up pics of a black Clio with a carbon front diamond as I'm thinking of getting one but the only pic I've seen of one on a black car made the badge look almost blue/grey which is putting me off. Thanks

Can you still drive the car if the air bag ecu is removed? I'm sending mine off to get reprogrammed after one airbag went off so want to know if I can use the car when it's away.

I've had my car mapped at rstuning and would phone them for advice but obv there shut on Sunday. If I unhook my battery whilst fitting a new air bag will this clear the map from the ecu?

What does this actually mean? If I was to get a door sprayed I know it would need blended to the 1/4 panel but what exactly does that mean? Does it just mean the paint is mixed to be the same as the 1/4 panel and not just an off the shelf colour? Or does it mean the 1/4 panel will get sprayed as...

Passenger air bag went of after a small mishap. Can I just use a resistor like people do when they put aftermarket seats in to cure the lights being on? And will this also mean that the other air bags are activated again? Thanks.

What bodyshops do people use in or around Edinburgh? I know JRM are good but there bills are big. Any help much appreciated thanks

Noticed I've got an oil leak a few weeks ago and been keeping an eye on it. Got it up on axel stands yesterday and can't see where it's coming from!! It seems to be coming from the timing belt side of of the engine and either beside the timing belt or at the back of the block. Any ideas where...

Saw this as I was driving past, had black pro race 1.2s I think. Must of been a flat tyre because it looked like it was jacked up.

It's amazing what you can find on google! Was looking at OBD II readers and this came up http://www.avforums.com/forums/motoring/1220714-iphone-obdii-reader.html Quite a decent piece of kit but $150 plus £30 for the software. Will it give accurate readings?

Just thought I'd see if the owner is on here or anyone knows who's car it is. Must be about 2 years ago now I was up at crail with my mate and wee saw a blue 172Cup with the turinis painted in the same blue as the car, I think it was doing 13s on the 1/4 mile. They guy that owned it chatted to...
