After 6 months of ownership, the car developed a creak when turning the wheel, I had taken out a warranty through Bristol Street Motors so I had hoped that whatever the issue was they would be able to sort some of it out. The car was taken into Perfect Touch Performance in Hoddesdon, to which on...

I haven't noticed anything strange to be fair and I am usually fairly observant on things like that. Got the car booked in a garaged noted the lower ball joint could be causing the issue. Thanks for the replies chaps.

Cheers guys appreciate the help.

Thanks for all the feedback! I will give the Yokohamas a punt I think :) they don't seem to sell them from some main dealers. What is the best place to buy them from? Cheers.

Thanks Ben, I am very tempted by the AD08r. How long would you say they last for general road use?

It appears I have developed a creak when turning the steering wheel, occurs at low speeds. Possibly more so when I turn left. Anybody else had a similar issue? If so what was the problem and was it a relatively easy fix? I have a warranty on the car so I am hoping that whatever is causing it can...

New tyres are required, I will be replacing all 4! Looking for a fast road tyre with decent longevity. I have read quite a lot, just want to know any other recommendations and how many miles are achievable, mainly on the fronts as these will be the first to go. My options so far: - Yokohama...

So I was thinking about all the things that really bug me when I am driving in the Clio. Turns out I have a few, so here they are: - Driving on a nice road only to have your fun completely ruined by getting stuck behind a Honda Jazz or Nissan Micra. Then having to sit behind them or perhaps...

Random snap in the rain..

Ok so I have always been a car cleaning addict. Recently purchased quite a few products, just wanted to see what everybody else is using. And if there is anything that I should add to my collection. Cheers Car Cleaning Collection

Ok so I had a look and it's running 20mm spacers at the rear, none at the front. It did have a H&R sticker on the back window so I guess that's a no brainer, just not sure on the drop.

Thanks man. Took me about 18 months to find one with the Recaro seats and the wing in racing blue! Well worth being patient though, they just don't come up very often so if you see one get in there quick! Thanks, the height is just right and not too low I never have to worry about speed bumps...

My radio has literally no reception at all even with an aftermarket alpine stereo. It's a really short aerial, if its any bigger it would hit the rear wing. Any suggestions to improve this? Not sure if this is the standard aerial or not.

I could be persuaded towards keeping them black.. They are "carbon wrapped" at the moment but it looks quite crap as its peeling off. Thanks chaps! :tearsofjoy:

So I recently purchased a retrimmed steering wheel from Royal Steering Wheels, the work is really good I am very impressed. Secondly I have had the car machine polished as there were lots of swirl marks, managed to get most of them out so looks really great. I decided to go out and take a few...

Looking to have some paint correction done to the Clio to remove those pesky swirl marks. I get the car nice and clean but soon as the sun is out all I can see are swirls :tired: I have debated getting a dual action polisher to do the work myself but I am a complete novice and wouldn't want to...

Yer definitely, I don't know too many good driving roads around here although last week I went through Hatfield Heath, White Roding and Pleshley was good fun. Other than that sounds like I haven't been looking hard enough lol, I am pretty much opposite the Formula 1 garage along Ware road...

Thanks for the comments. Have removed a few stickers including the Akrapovic ones keeping it a bit more subtle. So I drove to Worksop and back over the weekend to sell my Ford Fiesta Zetec S Mk6, it has been sitting at my Dads since i brought the Clio. Planned a decent route for the way back was...

Hey, I am Lewis. Been on here a little while thought I would start a progress thread. So I finished University last year after completing an engineering degree. I now work as a design engineer, been wanting a new car what seems like forever but only recently been able to afford an upgrade. I was...

Brought the Focal 130AS speakers and the adaptors you mentioned, will be fitting them by the end of the week. Thanks for your help.
