    Powerflex engine mounts.

    I've got all three mounts installed. Vibration is particularly bad when the weather is hot (we've had high 30s, and early 40s in Melbourne, this summer), and, even when it's cool, the steering wheel vibrates on idle, and the rear view mirror can be very blurred. However, why on earth anyone...

    Performance gearbox upgrade

    I drove a Subaru STI, recently (a 2012 model). It's red line was the same as my Clio, but the sound and throttle response was no where near it. I haven't driven a Megane, however. Ralph.

    Hello from Melbourne, Australia, folks. My car is a 2012 Clio RS 200 Sport. I had my gearbox replaced after 1800 miles; it was crunching from 3rd to 4th shortly after 620 miles. Now the car has done 9500 miles, and I am experiencing intermittent complete lock-out from 1st and 2nd gears...
