As title, spotted on the forecourt at Bridges of Cirencester with aftermarket exhaust, Cliosport sticker just below 3rd brake light:)

hi Vomboy, had the steering rack bush replaced on the nearside where the knocking was coming from and i have to say, the car is loads better, noise gone and feels far more planted. Wasn't expensive either, £66 all in from a renault specialist. cheers stu

I get about 27-28 at the mo, yes it gets some beans now and then but is mainly due to sitting in traffic and having the air-con on. On a good run i'll see 35+

followed a 182 cup in my 182 ff 2 days ago , we'd been sitting in traffic for about 20 mins , the road cleared, he nailed it, so did i, my w'screen was absolutely covered inn water/ vapour from his exhausts. totally normal, nothing to worry about. cheers stu

hi jonny, My mrs had a dci brand new on a 54 plate and covered 70k in just under 3 years with no problems at all. She bought another brand new clio campus dci in sept 07 and has covered 11k already, again touch wood, with no problems. The mk2 dci comes with 3 power outputs 65brake, 80 and...

The garage, by law, has to supply a 3 month warranty with the car, so i'd mention that to trading stds aswell. stu

Mine is exactly the same and is going in on tuesday to have the work done, i'll let you know what happens vomboy. cheers stu

Mine is going in next tuesday to have the steering rack bushes replaced, does the noise only happen when the engine is cold?, if so, this was the recommended cure from renaultsport technical. cheers stu

I've contacted renaultsport about a knocking noise on my steering and they've suggested that it could be the steering rack bushes. They also said that the steering would wander if this is the case. Worth looking at i reckon.

Just to let you guys know, the car's booked in to be checked over on wednesday at an independent specialist. Once i know what's wrong i'll let you know, it's becoming very annoying. stu:dapprove:

As above don't even bother, but that said if you really want to prove a point go for it.:)

Just a slightly different take on things, i know the 1*2's aren't the fastest cars on earth but to be comparing them to cars with superior/more modern technology and power, i think , is credit to renault, after all it's all about smile per mile !! and the clio in that respect is hard to beat .

Renault recommend 12k or every 2 years as in the maintenance service book supplied with the car. I always change the oil and filter in between services though. They also recommend that the brake fluid and coolant systems are flushed out at a maximum of 4 years, which i've just had done, now that...

Decided to take the car out for a spin ( not literally), and once the engine was up to operating temperature the noise disappeared, weird or what ? I explained this to a mate of mine and he said it could be the power steering pump? If so is this expensive to sort? Cheers stu.

Thanks for the advice guys, hope you all have a great xmas:) cheers stu
