    Whine noise from engine??

    Getting a whine noise from behind my battery near bulkhead roughly in my cup and is only noticeable when stationery. It honestly sounds slightly like a supercharger wine but sadly it isn't :( any one got any ideas? Car drives perfect no problems at all. Thanks in advance

    Facelift conversion?

    I love the look of the new twingos but hate the rear end! Could I put the front end ie lights and bumper ect onto my 2010 cup? Would it be a straight swap or a pain to do as I really fancy doing it!!

    Squeaky rear end!!

    The back left (near side rear??) of my cup squeaks sometimes when it hits a bump (but not under hard cornering or acceleration) there's no bangs ect just a medium pitch squeak. Had a look when I changed rear pads yesterday and all looks fine, however I'm no mechanic. Any ideas? Springs are fine...

    Can clutch be adjusted?

    My cluch biting point has moved on my way home from work and is now very high (bites as my foot leaves the pedal)!! It's done 42205 miles and is on first clutch. Can it be adjusted or is it goodbye cluch? There is no slipping at all (5th gear 30mph foot down ect) I've only ever had 1 cluch go on...

    Jack points

    Just ordered myself a shiny new 2 ton jack with 3 ton stands to help me with oil change and rear pads, but looking at the jack points they are slightly bent (all) and I don't fancy using them. Is there anywhere else I could try to lift car or any tips you guys could offer? Thanks

    Ongoing saga!!!!!!

    So my cup failed her mot for a second year in a row because - it only has one cat on her and not 2. Again I argued the point and garage said Renault says they come with 2 cats. I do have a custom cat back exhaust so I called k-tec who were extremely friendly and helpful land stated again that...

    Wet spark plug??

    Just changed my plugs to the new renualt recommended ones for the twingo cup and the first three were perfect but the last one (next to air filter) was wet and stank of petrol. There was not any excess oil but almost looked like the rings had been dipped in petrol.
