When changing from gear 3 to 4, how many revs do you usually go up to? How many is it *safe* to reach? :o

i'll check today. i think it does get worse in 5th. it mostly happens, when i am speeding up... say from 30 to 40

all in the name of saving petrol!

nope. i am fairly sure it comes from the engine area

Let’s say I am doing 30mph in 4th gear. The car sits at around 15 hundred revs. I get a really annoying rattle sort of noise. Like two pieces of metal scraping together!! It happens mostly when starting to accelerate from 30 in 4th. Any ideas?:nono:

oh my! why do that

i read the thread title and was nearly sick! big nono if you ask me! :dead:

i keep seeing a really nice black clio around the skipton/keighley area! anybody's here?

i gave my car £10 worth of juice today, then drove 10 miles and half of it had already gone! surely this is wrong? just recently i have found myself filling up far too much. don't 1.4s give about 40 mpg? ideas? :rasp:

cost me about £40 a week ago

get an old coat-hanger, the metal ones cut it in half and bend each half round insert the four bits of coat hanger into the four small holes leaving them in, pull the whole thing :)

flipping lovely

looks good would look better lowered and some rear tints get it polished up too

1.4 mk2 ph1 all standard. no faults
