IMO the clio sports are "Quick" but not really that "Fast". Straight line speed and pulling power is not the best but for me the thrill of the car is on twisty roads where it can keep up with a lot of things out there. Wouldn't worry about it!

Guys problem with my car and have got the aa out. problem is, he seems to think its a problem with the fuel shut off valve (car wouldnt start, thought it was flat battery and turned it over, hence the theory the furl shut off valve may have kicked in) trouble is, no idea where the darn thing...

Started this thread yesterday, still on the front page of the forum http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=397676 Couple of links on there of where to buy. Also http://www.brakesint.co.uk/ seem pretty good if you're after OEM.

Cool, might get the Bendix ones instead then, they are only £5 more anyway. I've got brembo grooved discs with ferrodo pads on the front but not too bothered about the rear due to the lack of braking they contribute to.

Yeah, seems apparent from the searching i've done around them! Cheers for the response though guys. Think i'm just going to call in to GSF over lunch today and get the mintex ones. That'll leave me only with the issue of wrestling with my calipers to get the things on! :D

Just called both GSF and Renault now, Renault stealership want £42.35 + vat for a set of rear pads, stuff that! GSF offer 3 brands; Cheap: £9.40 + vat for vtech(?) pads Mid: £13.60 + vat for Mintex Top: £18.10 + vat for Textar (Thought he said Textron but never heard of them...) Much...

Thanks. Just checked their online catalogue out and there's none on there for the RS versions. May give them a call to see if they can get hold of them and at what price.

Rear pads need replacing soonish and i'm just wondering where the best/cheapest place to get them from is? I'm not upgrading and just after some standard, preferably genuine, pads for the 182. Was going to fit them myself to save some pennies so anywhere off the net is good! Cheers, Dan

Good effort! I used to live in Oldfield park in during uni, it is an arse to park! Fortunately I didn't have my 182 then with the naff steering lock to worry about though!

Mine makes a knocking noise occasionaly, not got a clue what it is! Disappears for a bit then comes back, v.odd! As for the 'skidding' on low speed manoueveres, i think that's just down to the 'sporty' set up. I suppose it might have something to do with the tyre camber on full lock and lack...

I'd say his was worth a bit less too tbh. Then again, as has been said, you might struggle to shift your mk1 vee for a decent price anytime soon. I would be tempted.

Sounds a bit odd to me, a lot of dealers don't seem to know anything about the cliosport range. No point in lugging around a spare wheel in the boot, extra weight for the sake of it. Can of Holt's tyreweld is enough to get you to a garage. As far as servicing goes, cambelt is 72,000 miles...

Alright Dan, I was indeed going to the chippy! Not a bad piece of cod from that place.:) Dan

Surely the location of the built-in system is a bit naff? That section of the dash is quite offset, would have thought the view of the screen would be obscured a bit from the driving position. If I was going to get one i'd probably get a tomtom or equivalent, can take it anywhere then. Of...

That's the one. Yet to use the hand car wash place, normally prefer to do it myself but may give it a go soon, getting too cold outside to be cleaning the car!
