My Jekyll and Hyde Cup

[Ollie82.]

When shes good shes very VERY good.....but shes bad she can be a complete b**ch.

Or maybe im just being oversensitive to my Cups health...

Drove home from work today without the stereo on...wish i hadn't.
The noises! Have a kind of rattle/tapping/knocking sound whenever the car goes over any excessively bumpy or rutted roads (of which there are a lot of in Surrey it seems)
It almost sounds like something is loose and knocking about in the engine bay, be it suspension or exhaust.
Anyone else got somethin similar?

Plus do ALL the Renaultsport 2.0 lumps sound so rough on idle or again is it just me? Seem to have an intermittent "phut phut" noise (and yes its NOT the regular sound) from the tailpipe after the trip home today. :S

I'm shocked you drive a 172 Cup with the radio on?

Us paupers only got the cheap 4x22w model so you can barely hear it anyway...I never bother...I just play "tunes" with my 2k-4k rattle LOL

You're being paraniod I think

Check your engine cover, mine was loose the other day it could be that. As for the idle, mine's a bit lumpy on start up but once warm it's fine.

Cup= No engine cover but i wish it was somethin as simple as that!

Luckily i have access to a ramp where i work so i think im gonna put it in the air tomorrow and have a poke around.

Already got a fight to pick with the heatshield so im thinking its gonna be game on with something else under there as well at this rate.....either that or im gonna make sure i never turn the stereo off again.
And yes i probably am just paranoid!

Luckily I haven't come across any annoying rattles on my Cup as of yet. Except from the interior fidgeting of course.
