I was offered one of the last ones available at 11k on friends and family. I wasn't really in the market for one at the time, but <6 months later I bought mine for £11.5k - 15 months old with 2 owners (demo + first owner)! :roll: Wish I'd been able to do the deal on a new one, but never...
I had exactly the same symptoms, 036 has done 35k miles now. Took the car to Sutton Park Renault in Warwick on Monday this week, and told them I suspected either balljoints or top mounts having read this thread. I breathed a sigh of relief when they phoned to say they could hear the creak, but...
I've had this all the time I've owned the car. Outside my house I park with the car tilted slightly to the left, due to the camber on my drive. Once I'm rolling, slipping the clutch to move away and turning left, I get the clonk. It doesn't do it any other time. It's not the same tyre scrub...
Try the M45 - it only has one junction on it and crosses the border from Northants into Warwickshire, so is patrolled by the police once in a blue moon. It's also normally very quiet, despite only being 2 lanes in either direction. If you go from Northants (the M1 end) into Warwickshire you...

If...
I used to be religious about using V-Power but now just use 95 - I really can't tell any difference. Actually, that's not quite true - if anything it runs worse on V-Power during the 60-90 secs from cold - like it's running too rich.
I do wonder about the quality of the V-Power I get from...
Is it possible to do a straight swap for the FF's interior light, which (I believe) has a map light built-in to it? I'm doing a navigational rally tomorrow night and have just had to rig up a load of cardboard and masking tape to shield the light from my side of the car... :lol:
If anyone...
I was there on Sunday - only took one photo:
Despite the rain and mud it was absolutely packed... it was a real damp squib as the atmosphere is normally one of summer garden party, not a mudbath. Had lunch in Honda's tent, Jenson Button was at the table on one side and John Surtees on...
