Its the drivers side engine mount. Iv just gave it another hard rock and both the rubber stoppers are loose and one has just fallen off so the engine is banging on the frame. Iv wedged some thick tire in to keep me on the road.
How much am i looking at paying?? any rough ideas??
Could be...
That does sound promising Russ and would make sense so ill give it a go.
Iv just taken the car to a rapid fit garage and they havnt got a clue what it is and said i should take it to a renault dealer!! No way with there prices!! lol. :S
He thinks its transmission related but cant be sure...
I have just rocked the engine and cant here a thing, everything seems solid and theirs no noise or banging.
There is no noise when the engine is turned over just when i accerlerate and i nothing is looks wrong so i cant figure out what it is.
The mechanic I use is on holiday for 2weeks and i...
Thanks Stu
that was the first thing that came to my head.
How much do you think im looking at paying??
and this might be a stupid question but could it still be driven because i really need the car :/
hey guys iv got a 172 cup.
When i accelerate especially through the lower gears it sounds like somethings grinding as if something metal is dragging on the floor but there aint anything dragging.
If i accerlerate really lightly and drive really slow there is hardly any noise at all but put...
if moneys not a problem then i would go for the 200.
I personally prefer the look of the 197's front end and with the 197 cup you get the spoiler which makes the car look alot better in my opinion so if you do decide to go for the 197 id go for the cup or R26 F1-team edition, but the 200...
haha mine had 45k on the clock when i first got it. Shes been treated like a princess lol.
As we all no though low milage means nothing if it hasnt been serviced and looked after well.
just be patient and the right one will come around then go for it. They are great cars i love them but mine will be up for sale soon. Had it 2 years now and its time for something new :)
57k with nearly FSH, missing 1 or 2 stamps. ;)
i think everyone has different opinions,
iv never driven a 200 yet and cant wait to but i prefer the look of the 197 anyday, especially with the cup spoiler, black front splitter and black skirts.
Only thing that really annoys me is what renault actually did and what they could of done to...
of course there all welcome, its about the love for clio sports and cars in general, at the time you might not be able to afford a cliosport but eventually you might have one :)
its all about who you no isnt it, its high running costs that put people off buying cars like clio sports but they aint to expensive to run, except petrol :/
if you no a mechanic or your good with cars (which im not, but i no alot about them) then its going to be even cheaper, i got the cup...
my mate has a trophy, another mate has just sold his ph1, i have a 172cup,
the trophy has a better driving position because it has buckets seats standard but thats it, the cup feels quicker and on paper it is quicker even if it is only milli-seconds, the cups lighter and handles just the same...
