Re: Steering Noise

ive googled a bit and read something about a nut and bolt that may need re-tightened and then an adhesive applied to it? Does anyone know what bolt this would be? The only thing i can think it is would be the thing that knocks off the indicator, as the noise seems to happen at the point when the ind...

Re: rattling dash

my dash made a rattle when cold and i tried sticking small air freshners at each end (carplan do small red strawberry ones which were ideal), as the rattle went away when i pushed my hand against the dash, but eventually i found out what was really making the noise for me... The pillars that run up ...

Re: Stickies for fuel consumption

The 1.4 seems to return poor figures in real world driving, I think because the Megane is a heavy car and the 1.4 is low on torque and so has to be worked quite hard. I think you could be right on that. i have an 2003 1.4 16v dynamique megane just hit 47000on the clock and usually average about 31-...
