    Bearing (belt?) noise + Unstable idle

    Hi all. On Friday just when I was approaching home I noticed idle of the car was unstable. It raised up to 1500 rpm a couple of times and reduced back to normal whilst waiting at the lights. I didn't care much as it only happened twice during a 4 hour hour drive, parked the car in next 5...

    Workshop recommendation for coilover & top mount setup / London

    My car has recently gone through a suspension refresh including B14 coilovers and Compbrake adjustable top mounts. The car drives much, much better but I doubt the coilovers are set correctly, as the rear is sitting lower than the front. I thought I'd do it myself but chickened out a bit so I'm...

    Tightening suspension and steering

    Hi all. I've recently bought a 2010 Clio Cup FF. It's on 75K miles and according to my very limited experience (150-200 miles) seems to be in pretty good condition. It'll be serviced next week where a few minor problems will be addressed. I want to have the car as tight and fresh as possible...

    New member / potential 200 buyer

    Hi guys, newbie here. I've been driving a boring Saab 9-3 diesel for the last couple of years due to mega high milage I was doing for work. Now I work from home drive a fraction of the amount I used to, so I think it's time I get rid of the Saab and get the Clio I always wanted! :-) I'll...
