Hi, I am having more nightmares with my wife's clio sport 172. I am getting a real juddering and feedback from the brake pedal on a clio 172 (non cup). I have replaced the discs and the pads but forgot to check the abs ring! Am very annoyed with myself but I have had real distraction as I had...

Hi, My girlfriend is saying that her beloved 172 is not handling well. She is saying that the car is not holding well into the bends like it used to and in her words "it might as well just be a normal car"! The car feels like its sliding and taking a bend at 50/60 doesn't feel safe at that...
