    Am I going mad?

    The 'problem' seems to have gone away but I will check the rocker cover bolts as suggested... :-) And yes edgew37 - it is quite possible that I am going mad!! :-) x

    Am I going mad?

    I have a low mileage 2011 RS200 and for the past week or so I am convinced I can smell 'burning oil' or possibly exhaust fumes from time to time while driving... Is it possible that I have a minor oil leak or a leaky exhaust or - as the title says - am I imagining things?!? Anyone ever...

    Nitrogen in tyres

    I had never considered that moisture in a tyre could cause pressure fluctuations but it makes perfect sense! Water vapour will form as temperatures rise and this water vapour will contribute to the total gas pressure within the tyre! The major components of air are all 'straightforward' gases...

    Car buying advice

    I had a Clio RS197 that I cherished and I loved it! I fancied something better built that was more suitable for a long drive to/from work. I ended up in a beautiful blue BMW 325ci M-Sport which was a great example of it's type but I kept that for about 9 months after some big bills! I now...

    My GW 197 - Mega Update PG3 4/1/13

    Definitely a Cup .... but a nice example in a rare colour for a 197! The easiest way to tell is the conventional key start, the unpainted black plastic trims & the lack of soft-touch plastics inside! :-)

    Orders stopped??

    I thought I read somewhere that the Megane RS250/265 is built on a standard production line. It is such a shame that the current Clio RS200 has reached the end of the road but all good things come to an end! If I had my way Subaru would still be making the classic 1997 - 2000 Impreza Turbo 2000...

    Who said these cars can't be economical?

    My RS200 consistently averages 33 - 34 mpg with a mix of roads and driving styles BUT I rarely drive short distances.... I am happy with those figures because I don't hang about and I only use 95RON Shell or Esso fuel..! :-)

    What Fuel Do You Use?

    I use normal 95RON Shell or Esso fuel and the car runs just fine and I am averaging 33mpg... I have tried Tesco Momentum 99RON in 3 of my own cars, including the latest, and I have always seen a 5% reduction in economy! I once heard that the octane rating of Momentum is enhanced by the...

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    Thanks for the tip! I used Ferecla by hand and it also made the problem worse! I recently used Auto Glym paint restorer which made little difference but a quick going over by hand with Meguiars Ultimate Cut on a sponge applicator helped to bring back the black gloss! The Ferecla left an opaque...

    My FF Cup Packed Albi 200

    My car has covered 7,000 fairly gentle miles but the gloss black front bumper is looking a bit tatty already! Is it definitely painted & lacquered or is the high gloss black finish some kind of gel coat? I have tried to gently polish out the fine, swirly scratches with no luck... :-(
