Cool, thanks. I got it off one wheel but took about half an hour.

Did any of yours come with residue on your wheels from some sort of sticker? If so, how did you get it off? It seems pretty solid.

I agree. I find that they're a bit on/off. When they're on, though, they send you through the windscreen.

I quite like the low speed noise...

I have a new ST and mine are pretty loud at low speeds. Sounds like the pad compound is quite abrasive. Mine is only 2 weeks old though, so maybe they will smooth off.

Only saw the back of it as you were driving up the hill away from the circuit. GB plate.

Saw you on the way back from Spa-Francorchamps on Monday. You gave us a wave. Wondering if you are on here. GB plate with 'cup' on the door frame. Can't remember if a 172 or 182.

Black, looked slightly modded. Might be on here? Thornbury, 17:35.

M5 north, Sunday. Bridgewater-ish. ClioSport sticker in the side window.

I've made sure the dogbone is tight and I've also tightened the main top engine mount (was loose) while pulling the engine forward. If anything though, it's made it worse. Dan@SJM could I bring this to you to diagnose? Is there anything else I can try first? Just a but worried because last...

Any ideas on this? Should I take it back to the garage that fitted my starter motor and see what they say?

Will they have touched that when fitting the starter motor?

Thanks for your reply. I don't think it matches either. It's like a repeated banging/knocking when pulling away hard in first. Like a pulsing sound...

Hi, Since having my starter motor changed a few weeks ago, my car (Clio 172 phase 2) has developed a knocking noise under hard acceleration in 1st gear, but only in 1st. It sounds like the wheels are spinning (but they're not) and the TC/ESP is kicking in. When I turn ESP off though, it still...

2 Clios parked together - black 172 and an RB 182 with CS stickers. Also in the car park was a Gordini 197, looked good.
