Was it not grey? mine was from the Gloucester area, Reg. VU60PSO. Appologies if not :P

Just tested the accuracy of the OBC in mine. Indicated 29.5mpg - actual 34. That was mixed town and motorway stuff, its actually better if I keep off the motorways (gearing)

I bought this car!

Checked today, looks like it has a pipe instead of the centre section. Pretty pissed off tbh, as the Renault dealer told me it was standard. At least the cats there, which is something. I know it's a popular mod, but I want the middle box! I'd like that back pressure and refinement back...

I know, just haven't had a chance to have a proper look- living in a top floor flat and very busy with work/life, not to mention the constant rain. And yea, the Landsails - Grips pretty well with them! Although I'm aware it could be better. Thinking of some Goodyear Eagle F1's soon And no, if...

Blimey! thats daft

Hi all Not having a great time with my recently purchased 200. About 2 weeks after picking it up (Renault Main dealer and Renaultsport 'Centre') I noticed theres no jack in the boot, so I informed the dealer immediately and they said they'd get back to me. Didn't hear anything back so prompted...

I dont really see it as ruining it, I didn't buy it for straight line speed- the clio isn't fast as it is - I want the handling, braking steering and looks in a sensible daily driver, which this could be. I also can't stand diesels. The engine is the worst bit of the 200, the rest of it's...

Im not getting a megane just because of a gearbox...

Urgh, but I love the way the clio looks. Its the only french car to have ever appealed to me, and apart from the gearing it seems a pretty great little car.

Yep, my driving style is very similar with this car, get it into 6th asap. Thing about the nice roads is, im not going to really go anywhere (unless I have to) if its screaming its tits off on the motorway doing some horrific mpg - so the nice roads wouldn't get driven. Already I've found...

It'd still be good with a 26% drop in revs in 6th. For me it'd be a lot better in fact. Yes most of the power is high up in the rev range, but low down it doesn't feel too bad - with normal gear ratios it'd cope perfectly well, its just such a massive shame 6th is so short, Ruins the car imo...

My last 2 cars would be doing about 3200-3500 at that speed. :/

Using this http://philch.free.fr/clio/clio3/MR392CLIO2.pdf it looks like the final drive from a TL4 002 would work out to 26mph/1000rpm, which is perfect. So the question is, how hard is the swap?

How much of a job would it be to change the final drive?
