Great turn around - black paint work certainly shows up the swirls - but looks great when polished up

As already said, use a foam applicator pad, a little QD or even water on the pad, and a half turn of the applicator pad in the wax tin, and apply. Thinly is the key.

On my MKIII at idle I used to have a vibration. Took the bumper of and the sponge padding for the washer bottle had moved and was causing the vibration. This solved the vibration problem. Now in the warm weather my car sounds like a rusty old wheel barrow...need to see if I have dry bearings...

I never use supermarket diesel as I had the same problem, plus I always got 90 miles less to the tank.

I had a 09 Focus Estate as a company car, didn't notice too much difference inside from my MK3 Clio.

Nice comfy cars, and are a good size inside. You won't notice any difference in size from the Focus.

Update: Just filled the car up this morning: Done 629.4 miles (this was mixed driving - the last 5 days I have been driving 20 miles round trip via back roads to work, also motorway driving at 70mph) Filled up 50.88 litres @ £1.19.9 Fuel consumption 56.24 I started using cheaper diesel (non...

Topped up this morning with diesel: Done 362 miles (20 miles of this was town driving) Filled up 29.93 litres at £1.219 Fuel consumption 54.98 A little better than I was getting, I might drive at 70mph on the motorway this week to see what I return in mpg.

I was using cheaper diesel for a while, but I am back using BP, and not seeing any increase in mpg, so I am going back to the cheaper diesel, which is 3p per litre cheaper. I have tried using Millers additive etc but seen no different.

I check my tyre pressures every week, I use 35psi front and 32psi back. I have had 2 Mk2 dci 65bhp Clio's and they could easily do nearly 70mpg and never got less than 52mpg in town driving.

Hi Looking some feed back on this. I have a MK3 106bhp model. I have had it for over 2 years, with 27k on the clock now. I would never say it was easy on fuel with average mpg at 45mpg with a mixture of town/motorway driving. I now drive a round trip of 60 miles per day on motorway and still...
