I came across this Clio in North London today, from a distance I thought it was a beefed up Twingo but seems to be a debaged RS Clio of some sort. It had leather interior which makes me think some kind of Gordini, or maybe retrimmed. Looked like a neat package, only wish I could've heard that...

Has anyone here tried Pure Motorsport's Cylinder Head Cover Bolts? They look like a sturdy replacement for the factory bolts and come with washers which may help prevent the common issue of leaking bolts.

Hey guys, I have the usual wear on the two O/S bolsters and wondering if anyone knows a decent repairer in the south-east? I've spoken to capital seating who say they can do it in a day but also said it won't be an exact match. I'm considering a full retrim but would prefer a repair as the...

The alarm sensor/switch on my bonnet doesn't seem to be pushed down far enough with the bonnet closed and think there may be a missing fixing on the bonnet. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can do me a favor and take a picture of the fixing and I'll try and find something that matches. Having...

I replaced the torque arm a little over a year ago but since the weathers gotten colder it’s started knocking again. When removing the bush on the original arm there weren't any splits and given it only happens cold I’m guessing the rubber shrinks, either allowing the casing to knock against the...

Hey guys, Just looking for a bit of advice on solving an oil leak while my cambelt is being replaced. I've noticed the undertray always has oil on it but can't be a major leak as the level on the dipstick is quite stable. When I have a look on the ramp the back of the engine looks moist and at...

Has anyone tried rentune's lowered Recaro seat base? Going by the looks, it's a straight swap where you bolt your lower cushion and tilting seatback into their frame, then bolt it onto your runners/the floor. I used a Recaro for a year or so then eventually switched back to the original seat...

Hey guys, The perforated leather on my steering wheel has been coming off in bits for the last year or so, almost all of it has peeled away leaving another layer underneath and it actually looks ok, but it's gone all sticky to the touch and needs replacing. I'll likely go via...

Hiya guys, So this morning my car won't start... the electrics all come on but when I push the start button the cluster reads gibberish for a few seconds, car makes a lot of clicking noises but doesn't turn over, and various warning messages show, such as Steering Not Locked, Brake Fault, ABS...

I came back from doing some shopping to find this Megane had decided to park next to me :smile: I wouldn't mind a run in it to see the difference... I'd imagine much more power but less nimble?

I've had a knocking when cold from the top of my engine for a while now and found that the top mount (torque arm?) moves quite a bit when I wiggle it, searching the forum I see it's quite common. The arm itself looks easy enough to change, just 2 bolts, altho the way it moves I think it's just...

Some snaps from my recent trip to Snowdonia

I changed my brakes a few months ago but my n/s disc had worn ridged (running your finger you could feel the disc worn unevenly) I changed my brakes this past weekend and it already has a line going around the middle of the n/s disc. Now it could be something caught in the pad, I'm also...

So I have a steering judder under braking @ 30mph, when I brake from 50-60mph it's pretty much fine but as soon as I hit 30mph the steering wheel wobbles considerably. If i pull the handbrake up it's fine so I'm fairly sure it's the front brakes. I changed my brakes all round a couple months...

I knew there must be something like this out there... do you guys know where I can buy something similar in the UK?

I checked my coolant tank today and it was empty! I topped it up and ran the car for a few minutes and it seemed to be ok, at least coolant wasn't gushing out of anywhere. The other day when starting up from cold I heard a very loud sloshing noise, if I had to guess it was coming from the n/s/r...

Hey guys, been a while since I've been on the forum and it's nice to be back, I've been doing a bit of work on my car recently and would appreciate a bit of advice. My car's developed a knock from the n/s/f over potholes, when the suspension unloads/reloads you hear a loud clunk, then just...

I've just had my 197 repaired for front end damage (mostly O/S/F) and when i lock the car now i get a solid bleep from the N/S/R wheel arch for ~30 seconds. Upon investigation, it's the bonnet switch for the alarm (N/S/F of bonnet) as when i push the bonnet down a little it hits the switch and...

Where I work we use mm for alignment values, but for my 197 cup I only have the degrees values. How would I go about converting the degrees to mm? Thanks in advance for any help

Hello there, i've just ordered 4 of these tyres for my car that desperately needs them, I was just wondering if the 'XL' matters? Would I have to change the psi? If so, what to? I've been running the factory Conti's from new and they are practically slicks right now, very slippy when wet, so...
