Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is). It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone's got a supersprint exhaust fitted? I hadn't heard anything about them until today off a mate, so I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's got one? If so what's the sound like on it? I'm after a nice system, not too loud and not boomy, just...

I have heard some horrible news today!.... The guy who I bought my car off, who was a registered owner on here! has outstanding finance on the trophy!? I did a HPI check when I bought it and it was all clear?! They have rang me up and said they are not taking the car but more interested in...

Anybody have any ideas please? I've got a 182,well maintained and looked after. During acceleration,either moderate or heavy and at any speed (but more noticeable during motorway speeds) there is a definate noise (ticking/knocking) coming from (I think) the engine bay. I've changed belts...

.................well managed to replace 1 ball joint and it took me hours! The holding nut was rather tight to say the least. Similar subject, looking to replace the top mounts with solid ones but wondering if there are any options where the chassis is not drilled? I have sourced...

I've snaped my nearside front spring. :( Does anyone have an original one, with the correct number on it: 8200514730 I doubt the sides are different, but just in case they are then it is the nearside one I need. Thanks Calum

Hi just picked up my clio trophy No.131, is it normal to hear a whistling come sucking sound when accelerating abit hard.

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...

After months of waiting i have finally got a trophy (352/500), hopefully picking it up at the weekend.

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...
