I think I may need a new manifold. :jumpon: Started as a suspected gasket as there was a very slight "tappy/tinny" blowing noise coming from the front and a scent of exhaust gases under the bonnet. Now it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders and a loud blow there. I now suspect the...

I've always thought that this size shouldnt be a problem on the clio? But after speaking to someone with michelin, apparently they catch when your on track giving it track abuse? (it was on a 200Cup the car they tested..) Might be because they're slightly lower? Anyone running this size...

I seem to have a fair bit of play on the O/S top engine mount. The "bar" type, not the one actually fitted to the car. Putting 2 and 2 together now as I always thought the car seemed a bit 'jerky?' but thought it might be normal. Like if your in slow traffic and your on and off the...

I know its not the usual question to be asked about a performance car, but no matter how I drive I can't seem to get mine past 25mpg! It was serviced before I picked it up and the air filter and oil seemed clean, but Ive not checked the plugs. Next one to try?

about my clutch, but the cars only just done 35K How long does standard clutch usually last on these? I just have a horrible feeling it is ever so slightly slipping. Car is a november 56 plate completely standard 197. The pedal seems sound, not sinking etc, but every now and again after...
