I have a new ST and mine are pretty loud at low speeds. Sounds like the pad compound is quite abrasive. Mine is only 2 weeks old though, so maybe they will smooth off.
Saw you on the way back from Spa-Francorchamps on Monday. You gave us a wave. Wondering if you are on here.
GB plate with 'cup' on the door frame. Can't remember if a 172 or 182.
I've made sure the dogbone is tight and I've also tightened the main top engine mount (was loose) while pulling the engine forward. If anything though, it's made it worse.
Dan@SJM could I bring this to you to diagnose? Is there anything else I can try first?
Just a but worried because last...
Hi,
Since having my starter motor changed a few weeks ago, my car (Clio 172 phase 2) has developed a knocking noise under hard acceleration in 1st gear, but only in 1st.
It sounds like the wheels are spinning (but they're not) and the TC/ESP is kicking in. When I turn ESP off though, it still...

They said they'd check the earth, relays etc before changing the starter motor.
Hopefully it is something simple... (cheap)
Unfortunately it didn't solve it.
Called the RAC out.
Battery was fine, over 12v. We managed to bump start it, leading him to think it's the starter motor...
He couldn't test the starter motor on the roadside because it's so difficult to get to. :/
Thanks for your replies.
I tried jump starting it using my brother's car, with no luck.
If the battery is at fault, should the jump 'start' have started it?
Hi,
I have a PH2 172 and yesterday it wouldn't start. I drove it to and from university (25 miles) as normal and it started fine on both occasions.
I called into town and parked up on my way home. Got back to my car and it won't start. Not even turn over. Nothing.
However, my lights work...
