Just back from the mechanics. They diagnosed a loose far side steering arm. Getting it replaced under warranty next week. Hopefully that will sort it for a while.

Thanks for the responses guys. I really appreciate it. When I had the car jacked up I noticed that the front offside wheel has a bit of movement in it (but not much), whereas the drivers side has no movement at all. I didn't think to try moving the steering while it was jacked up though. I...

Noticed a rubbing noise when my steering approaches left lock. From searching around it sounds like it might be a ball joint needing replacing. Keen to get a second opinion though.

Back on the road! I'm not an exhaust expert but they seem to have done a decent job. Welds look beefier than before. Car is running smoother than ever now which is great. The only down side is its maybe a bit too quiet now...

Got the car down to the dealership today. I had emailed the picture to them in advance so they had already started looking at options. As expected they were reluctant to replace it with a new OEM one due to the cost, so what they've done instead is to send it off of an engineering firm to have...

Months!?! That is very worrying

Hi Sean. Are you the guy I saw cruising about Macedonia in Glenrothes? I live in Kirkcaldy.

Thanks guys. There seems to be a nice wee community around these cars. Come to think of it I have done a few things since I got it. I replaced the worn mats and installed wind deflectors (to help with the lack of a/c :). The centre console had some cosmetic damage so I replaced that with one I...

Hi All! Thought I'd say Hi. I've had my wee 2012 Clio 200 Cup for just over a month now and I'm loving it so far! Its the first car I've bought just for the fun factor and I think I've made a good choice. I've not got much planned for the car other than whizzing around A/B roads in Fife...
