    Williams shocks

    I think the original rear shocks on the Williams are de carbon. Are other cheaper makes like gabrielle, monroe etc going to be pretty much the same or does the cheaper price underlie poorer quality? If i went to Renault for some, what make would they be, decarbon? How much more are decarbon over...

    Cup suspension on 182 and 172

    Apart from the tyres, what are the precise differences between the 182 with Cup option and 172Cup in terms of suspension? Is the 182 with Cup option exactly the same set up as a 172Cup? I know the tyres are different.

    New Platform for Clio

    Ive just been researching the new new Clio due out in the near future, and as far as i can tell Renault are going to use the Nissan Micra Platform / Chassis. Presumably this is an effort to save part costs, as done extensively by VW / Audi / Scoda. Anyone know if this is true?

    Williams radiator

    May be a stupid question but does the radiator on the Williams collect air like a normal radiator, ie. do you need to use the bleed screw on the top to bleed air out every now and then, or does the air alway accumulate in the expansion tank? And how do you get the bleed screw open? Mine wont budge.

    What is this noise

    When i drive slowly i get a squeeking noise from the front of the car. The best way to describe the noise is like a squeeking spring, as the wheel goes over bumps. Thats what i first thought. However, when i knock it out of gear the noise goes away. Driveshaft? I can only hear it if the window...

    Williams clutch

    The clutch of my high milage williams seems a bit harsh. In low gears when i change up, i lift my foot slowly off the clutch pedal and the clutch engages in a pretty violent manner (ie it seems to jolt on). The best way to describe it is when your watching a race car from on board and the driver...
