Chris's LY 200t.

[Chris]

Yeah still got another month to wait yet.

car feels tighter after the service also as they fixed a knocking it was making over bumps which was front arb bushes.

im surprised the arm bushes bit the dust after a few years :s
at least they got sorted so happy days :hug:

 

[Vasterad]

In my case new arb bushes didn't solve the issue with knocking. Next time they replaced upper engine mount and the noise is gone.

Weak point on Mk4 clios apparently, no different to manifolds/gearboxes/hub joints on the mk3s lol. Glad it's under warranty though as it was apparently quite labour intensive to change.

Yes I had the engine mount done a few months ago and that solved one knocking noise, about a month later this one came and the arb bushes solved it.

Although have something on the way which will be a bit of a nice update for the car
