    slippery brake pedal?

    Hi everyone, Does anyone find the brake and clutch pedals slippery wet damp or wet, being made from ali? I found this a problem in my 172 and still do in the Trophy. A couple of times my foot has slipped off the clutch all together when very wet, thankfully without harm. On my previous 172 I...

    I think it is damper rebuild time :-(

    Hi all, My car has felt a little "different" lately especially on the front passenger side. Doesn't seem to handle as confidently as it did and the front seems a little "bouncy". I can push the passenger side down and get it to bounce quite easily whereas the driver's side is solid and will...

    recaro's tilting but not sliding

    As above, I can slide the seat back and forth with the front lever. But if I try to tilt and slide to get in the back, it tilts but doesn't slide. Can I fix this or does something need to be replaced?

    I was stopped by the Police today, shortly after leaving work. I was not speeding, using my phone or driving erractically. My car is insured, MOT'ed and I have just put four new tyres on it. I own it, it is taxed and I had not been drinking. So why was I stopped? Because the Policeman in...

    Fitted the top mounts, camber bolts and strut brace today - geo check tomorrow, had a drive feels pretty good but who can tell on the road, track day on the 24th so that will be a good test. Thinking that the shocks might need a refurb now though, as one had a faint sign of oil mist on the base...

    Problem with my Trophy

    I have a problem with it. When I go round a corner it feels quite light and tends to understeer and feel light at the front end. Furthermore if I push even slightly more the back end comes round. At first I thought I had it wrong but as daft as it sounds I went out to see if I did and provoke...

    How's the suspension on UK roads?

    Hi all, I currently drive a DC5 which I'll shortly be selling. One of my reasons for selling is the suspension which, though wonderful on smooth roads, is an absolute nightmare on my daily commute due to the quality of the roads near me. After 18months of ownership I'm ready to move on. I...

    Megane R26 230 f1

    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone owns or has owned a Megane R26? I've been toying with the idea of buying a Megane since having a test drive in a Megane R26R. I absolutely loved the R26R, just the noise alone is amazing! but it's a little unpractical for everyday driving, which is what I would...

    Clio 200 Vs Trophy

    I loved the Trophy and thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months with it, but one lazy Saturday afternoon I read about the Clio 200's top-5 finish in eCOTY and casually trundled down to the local Renault Garage to see what all the fuss was about. Three days later I placed my order. There has been a lot...
