    yeah exactly that. It gets smoother as the revs go up. Sadly to say though its not a motor bike its a push bike !! I needed to get fit anyway, happy days!!!!

    Help needed!!

    Just gone out to try and start it again. I dont think its in limp mode as revs dont seem to be restricted. The clutch does'nt feel right and I could'nt get it into reverse as easily as before without it crunching. Just got my bike out the shed so I can get to work tomorrow!! lol

    Help needed!!

    I guess it is in limp mode but it doesnt sound good and its the last thing I need at the moment. Does the garage have to take it out of limp mode?

    Help needed!!

    Hi wonder if anyone can help. I was just on driving along a dual carrageway in 5th and came up to some slower moving traffic so I dropped it into 4th to over take, However I missed 4th and got second. The engine cut out and I coasted to a halt. I turned everything off and started the car...

    Central Locking Problems

    I've spoke with Andy at GDI, he could fit one, but not code it to the car. I've spoke to another Renault garage (not a dealership) but they want to run another diagnostic test on it to confirm Renault are right about the problem. but thats £50. He said he could do the work just on what the...

    Central Locking Problems

    I'll let you know how I get on, my key fob just does'nt work at all!! I would'nt of thought the UCH would be much different between the models. (i'm no expert though!!) I just think my local dealer is rubbish, i'm never been confident with them. I've not phoned GDI yet so we will see!! Paul.

    Central Locking Problems

    Ok i've done a search, and i've found out what a UCH is. By what I can tell all Renault have to do is replace it a programme it? Is a UCH expeensive or is it just Renaults labour charge bumping up the cost. From what i've read its not something I can do.

    Central Locking Problems

    Hi All I wonder if any of you guys can help. I went to Renault as i've had a problem for a while where I have not been able to use the 'blip' on my key. Replaced the battery and ordered a new key which Renault have programmed (needed a new key anyway). However this has not resolved the...

    Loss of interest

    I've been looking for another car for the past year, i'm bored with the daily drive to work and back in it, never taking it over 4k revs because its just town driving and sitting in traffic and i'm always enquiring about other cars, but then I clean it and take it for a blast and I fall in love...

    197 clarkson review

    I thought the r26 was softer then the cup because it has more toys and the soft touch dash? I would'nt cancel my order just because of Clarkson's review. Lets be fair 0.xx of a second makes no difference in the real world. Unless you prefer the power delivery of a turbo or think it might...

    197 clarkson review

    I doubt they will launch a more powerful version just a different flavour otherwise the Clio will be competing with the Megane. If you waited and waited you'd never buy as new cars or variations are coming out all the time. Buy it. Its my favorite car at the moment!

    197 clarkson review

    If Renault are going to do a stripped out hardcore version, I doubt they would do it at the beginning of this models life. It will be a end of the line outgoing model. We will probably see a couple of face lifts before then. Look at the Megane. The R26 has come out years after the first 225...

    Thinking of selling up...

    50K? i'm sure I read the average was more like 200K. I know i'm on 350K and I drive a Clio not a Ferrari because there's not a car been made yet that can beat a 182 in the twisty's! Hope you get a good price for it if you decide to sell. Sounds like a lot of money has been spent on it and...
