    Resonating- thought it was from the exhaust but maybe not...

    Have had this for a few months now, only under load (ie accelerating, not cruise) It's absolutely driving me mad. The garage that fitted my cup suspension thought it was something rubbing the exhaust. Took it to PipeWerx (great guys, if you're in the NW they're one of the best) but they...

    197 specialists in Merseyside?

    Guys, I'm getting loads of knocks from the front end. Garage can't find anything other than a little play in steering rack ends. i have worsening rattles from both sides (front) over speedbumps and rough surfaces, but, more worryingly, and odd clatter from what sounds like back of the engine...

    Standard 197 rims - any benefit or detriment 225/45/17?

    Chaps, other than the slightly lower prices of 225s compared to 215s, and marginal increase in tread width, are there any particular pros or cons of 225s over 215s? Do 225s fit ok? Thanks :)

    How do I get the Cabasse Auditorium out

    Without removal keys? Can I unclip the panel and get at it from there? I've been looking for a YoTube vid as I'm crap at this sort of stuff, and it's a bit chilly to venture outside until I know how to do it! Thanks :)

    What bulbs (lamps) for main beam?

    Hi all, Changing the side light bulbs to LED's as they look real yellow beside the HID's, and was considering changing the main beam and cornering bulbs too. What do I need, and would you go for LED's for all of them? Not sure if LED's are any good for main beam- if not, what should I use...

    Hello all, I bought some genuine RenaultSport mats for the Clio, the drivers mat has some type of female clips in the back. Sadly there are no male clips in the footwell. What do I need to secure them? Thanks :)

    Which Alpine HU's work with stalks?

    Hi, I'm sure I've seen a table of head units that work with the stalks but can I find it? I think I'm going to replace the Cabasse 6cd thing, as I could do with BT in the car and iPod, and rather than several interfaces I think I'll just replace the HU, then I can have straightforward...

    Magnex Cat-Back - any advantage?

    Or is it just noise? I'm doing too many miles to keep it, thinking of going back to a standard exhaust. I know. I'm getting old... ;)

    K&N 57i - what parts do I need to replace it?

    Chaps, the 197 I bought has a K&N 57i kit fitted. I'd like to change back to an airbox with panel filter. Does anyone have one lying around that I can buy? Assume there are several bits to it, so I dont really want to buy off ebay and only get half the bits I need. I'd happily do a deal, cash...

    Fuse attached to battery

    Hi all, first post so be gentle... I had to have the flexi's on the exhaust done the other day, and the car wouldn't power up when they re-connected the battery. Turns out it had blown the main fuse thing, the one that's actually attached to the battery. Looks like a flat ali plate...
