My car is currently driving me mad to the point where I am considering selling it and making a huge loss financially. For about 4 months the steering hasn't felt right, to define this what I mean is that the steering often feels vague and lacking in both weight and feel. When I originally...

Car has been labouring really badly and I can hardly accelerate, the check emissions light has now come on? Any ideas? Seems most likely to be a lamba to me.

When winding back the rear callipers to change the brake pads do I pump the brake pedal after I have done one side or after I have wound back both callipers?

With this recent heat wave my car seems to be struggling to start on certain occasions, sometimes it is fine and fire's up just fine. The starter motor is turning over but takes 2-3 seconds sometimes for the engine to fire up, this has never happened before. I do have the ktec induction kit...

To all you chaps out there who have fitted either coilovers and/or solid top mounts, what are your opinions on how they affect the dynamics of the car? I have recently re-fitted my standard cup springs as was not happy with the handling on lowered H+R springs as I seem to have no steering feel...

Could anyone tell me the part number for the front damper on the Clio 200 cup (59 plate). Thanks

As some of you will know ive had steering issues for a while now and recently had a new steering rack fitted. The steering is now smooth and direct however it feels very light and lacking in any real feel. Is the steering always light on these cars or should it be nicely weighted when up...

My gearbox feel pretty good overall apart from being difficult to get into 2nd when cold but never force it and take it this is just how they are. The main issue I have is when I'm high in the revs and go to change there is alot of resistance and doesn't want to go into gear most predominant...

Bit late as it was last weekend now but thought id post up a few pics:

I have had a slight knock coming through the steering when manoeuvring at slow speed and the steering also feels rather vauge. Taken it to a local specialist today to get diagnosed and he says its either the rack or column. Is it common for the column to fail on these cars as I know rack...

Will these fit in the front of our clio's does anyone know? http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-in-phase-xtc620_p-26007.htm

I have a squeak noise everytime I depress the clutch pedal which is driving me mad as I cant seem to find where it is coming from, seem to have sprayed silicon spray everywhere now. I have tried spraying it on the hinge point of the pedal and where the rod goes into the master cylinder and...

Ok so I have recently fitted some yoko Ad08's on the car and done about 600 miles on them now. The car just seems to lack any direct communication anymore through the steering. I was running crappy Avon zv5's beforehand which the car had on and it felt better (less outright grip but more feel)...

I have ordered some new front dampers for my clio 200 cup which is a 59 plate and he had said that the part number for these I'd the same as the 197 cup is this correct? I know the car is before they changed the top mount, does anyone have any part numbers they can throw up? Thanks

Finally got some decent pics of the 200 with it being so nice at the weekend. The car is lowered on H&R 30/40mm springs which have only been on for 4 days so may settle a little more yet. The 182 is my mates with turini wheels and is running piper exhaust + decat.

Ok so I have just had some H&R lowering springs fitted and now have a knock from the offside front at low speed over repeated harsh bumps (worse when turning into a corner with some lock). Doesn't make a noise when going over speedbumps or at speed. There was a slight noise when dropping off...

I have owned the federals on a meagne r26 I used to own and they where fantastic in the dry compared to the standard conti 3's (dont like them at all, sidewall is so soft). Even in the wet there where reasonable and I had no issues apart from being a bit dodgy when it was just damp. You can...

Thought I would quickly introduce myself on the forum. Quick History of my cars: Started with a 1.2 corsa six (no pics, whats the point) Quickly moved onto an white 08 corsa sri (with the 1.6t engine in) and was mapped at thorney motorsport with miltek and decat exhaust (ran 220bhp) and had...
