    Strange noise from engine video inside

    The noise in the video is basically only there when warm and you can only hear it under 2k rpm, and sounds like its coming from under the timing belt cover area Renault has had a look at it when they were doing my gearbox and say they are not worried about it. Anybody else think its more...

    Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2 longevity?

    I got a set in the summer and have done about 6000 miles and the fronts are almost done. No track days, I have done 4 or 5 fast whole day runs up north. But 90% of the miles are motorway with the most exciting thing being accelerating after a roundabout. How long have other people been...

    Alarm problems

    I had a problem with my heater ages ago and arnold clark said they removed some alarm component. This problem started a bit after that but was kind of intermitant. But now is constant.

    ADO8R vs Piolet Sport 3s

    Ive been leaning towards the PS3s but the Eagles do look good. Never heard of those before (the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti), would probably prefer to stick to 215. Any idea what the Eagles/PS3s are like on track?

    ADO8R vs Piolet Sport 3s

    I will be needing new tires soon. I was thinking about either of these two. Hopefully in the next year I will be able to make it to a few track days, but the car will mostly be used for driving the 30 mile round trip to work, which can either be motorway or B road depending if I have time. I...
