Hey anyone reading this first post.
Recently purchased a 2005 Clio 172 with 60,000km on the clock
Used to do a bit of clubsport stuff at local track and now back into Motorkhanas
Today, I took the Clio out to its first sealed Motorkhana and would like advice on 2 things I noticed.
1.
Clutch pedal seemed to "stick" to firewall a few times on some tests, e.g. while quickly depressing clutch to initiate handbrake turn. It popped back after a few seconds. (doesn't do this on standard slower gear changes on the road).
2.
Loud bang from engine bay with more jerky movements (like driving into garage, selecting reverse quickly and backing out)
Could that be broken engine mounts?
Any useful suggestions appreciated, as I am not too mechanically minded.
PS. Love the car, little pocket rocket.
Boys at the track were impressed too, just wish it could handbrake better.
Cheers, John
