    Mk3 Steering

    How do they ride, ill miss the spacers for now then. The engine is great, it feels pretty rapid compared to my 8 year old Mk2, torquier acceleration throughout the range is great, especially when already rolling, although I regularly leave others off the line when I'm being "Spirited". Cool...

    Mk3 Steering

    Okay, that all makes sense. Lowering is my next plan, looking at 40mm, not sure what springs, have you spaced the wheels out aswel? Hopefully mine isn't one of the lifeless ones...Clio dCi 86 S Thanks for all the help, you've been really helpful.

    Mk3 Steering

    Yeah I knew it did that reg parking and M/Way, I think mine are 16", they're the factory Canastas? Disconnected was maybe the wrong word, I had a Mk2 DCi and the steering was quite weighty and you knew how much to turn for certain corners and with the new Mk3 presumably die to the variable...

    Mk3 Steering

    Thanks, tires are 28 PSI on all corners. Standard rack is good to know, what PSI should I be running and I'll get it checked, do you know if I can bypass the variable adjust thing.

    Mk3 Steering

    I read somewhere that the Mk2 Dci's had the sport steering rack so the steering was heavier than the 1.2's so had more feel to it, do you know if the new Mk3's have the sport steering rack as mine feels a little disconnected, or is there any way to make it quicker, it has the variable...

    MK3 Bio Diesel

    Hi, I've been reading various websites about the Clio on bio diesel, I had a mk2 and people said never due to the fuel pump, on a forum a guy with a 2007 campus said his runs fine on bio diesel, is the mk3 engine different, and does anyone know if it will run on bio diesel or a blend of bio and...

    DCI MPG

    Yeah, spares gone in pump sealant thing, may remove back seat bench as no ones ever in there. Done a thing of redex, no sparks, only glows which IIRC make no difference once running, going to do all the filters despite it says they've been done.

    DCI MPG

    That would be top, my 80 got 55ish when doing 80-90, 86 will struggle above 45 when doing "Normal" M'way speeds so 75-85. Tried using some redex fuel cleaner, also did 20 quid of v power diesel, someone a while ago mentioned whack 1 litre of petrol in a full tank of diesel to clean the...

    DCI MPG

    Recently picked up my MK3 DCI 86. I used to average about 58 in my MK2 one combined, however in my new one it struggles to break 50 MPG even driving steadily on the motorway, the only way is to average 50 on the motorway which is just stupid. The official figures say 64 combined which I...

    Changing Contract

    The Blackberry is slow and crashes occasionally, I could argue this as its not as described and I'm within the 6 month window after getting it where this would be taken as a technical fault?
