    Warning light for exhaust gases and electronic fault light on, restricted power

    This does ring a bell tbh. 100% certain my 182 displayed a similar fault with (Not a fault) next to it. Maybe someone with RSTuner can verify if its this exact 'fault?'

    Problem starting the car - hopefully battery related

    The cold weather can amplify a weak battery, if you have access to an alternative suitable battery for your Clio, it may be worth swapping to that first. If you still have the issue then at least you have found that the battery is not the issue.

    Finding out if your Car came with cup packs

    Or if your local to Fred, he will just take a look and tell you without measuring it. Just says "Yep its got cup suspension" or whatever he would say if it didn't. Also informed me my 182 has the RS inlets too which I was unaware of.

    RB 172 Blackpool CSL 12:30 today

    Just now spotted this with Turinis, initially thought it was a 182 until it went past and saw it only had a single exit yozza. Sure I saw a CS sticker in the front window?

    Best headunit for £100?

    No, its a Pioneer aftermarket unit. I'm not quite sure, I'll report back when Pioneer release the firmware and I've tried it myself. I'd imagine its through one of the USB ports it sports.

    Fastchip ??

    My mates Cup was on a standard map beforehand but IIRC it pushed 174BHP on the rollers. He had it stripped (Recaro Evo front seats, no rear bench) and we were neck and neck up the motorway. He got his RS Tuner and whilst I was waiting for 5K he was taking off. By the time I got to 5K it was...

    Best headunit for £100?

    My Clio came with the stock headunit with an iPhone/iPod cable but due to Apple changing the connector, I had to change headunits! After I did, and got my iPhone 5, I still couldnt change tracks via the headunit. Appears the 8400BT needs a firmware update to do so, so I just bought an SD card...

    Just put deposit on a 172cup

    As said, check where the belts have previously been done. Mine was on a 15,000 mile cambelt but I got dephaser rattle, and when I took it to a specialist (Fred@BTM) he shown me the tippex marks that told both me and him that it had been "Tippex timed" previously by the garage that did the belt...

    Back in a cup!!!

    Nice buy, I absolutely love that colour! They are fairly economical for a 2L, I'm surprised at how little juice my 182 drinks even when on that particular drive, my right foot feels kinda heavy.

    Fastchip ??

    To be honest, I think that has been a wise move by Henk. Lots of RSTuners are sold on here with the maps he created/modified e-mailed over and he gains no profit from these. Judging by the way my mates 98RON mapped Cup now leaves me for dust, when beforehand we used to be neck-and-neck, I'd...

    Best headunit for £100?

    I'd stretch a little further and get the Pioneer DEH-8400BT. I spent £180 on one of these from an ICE installer/retailer near me then a friend got one for about £150 online. 32 different colours for the display/buttons and the "Orange" makes it match the Clio's dash brilliantly. Has SD card...

    Bimarco futura seat covers

    St3ve had some, I'll point him in the direction of this thread but not sure if he bought them brand new or 2nd hand. EDIT: Apologies, thought you were just after the seats, should read things properly instead of skim reading!

    Coolant change - my lazy shortcut worked a treat!

    It drops again when the fans kicks in. Initially just the thermostat will open and the coolant will cool the engine enough. I had to wait another 10-15mins for it to warm the coolant up for the fan to then need to kick in. Checked the levels again today and it was at 'Mini' so topped it up again.

    New thermostat - slightly livlier

    I sorted my thermostat the other day and the car definitely feel smoother and gets upto temp nicely now. When I was replacing my coolant I let it run upto temp, kept checking the pipe to feel when the coolant was let loose, then kept it sat some more until the fan kicked in, then replaced the...

    Cylinder 1 misfire & difficulties starting occasionally?

    Quick question, Is getting a temporary cylinder one misfire (engine management light flashes) the starting signs of the crank position sensor going? Had this for a while and today its been difficult starting so I'm beginning to think it could be related. Engine will fire into life just to cut...

    Cambelt Garages, for those chancers out there.

    It's been said over a million times on here, but again, it's not worth taking an RS for a cambelt change to someone who isn't certain what they are doing.

    The new Clio from Argentina. "Clio Mio" completely SUCKS

    Sick in mouth... at both. Horrible looking cars if you ask me!

    Factory Fitted Tyres About To Be Removed!

    It was just with the spare wheel that it came with, threw me a little. But yes, thats going to be the explanation.

    Factory Fitted Tyres About To Be Removed!

    The spare wheel is in the boot. The car came with it. Beats tyre weld. Its on 65,000. Nice find Heez. ;)

    Factory Fitted Tyres About To Be Removed!

    Well, I was a little taken back by this.. Two of the PES's on my Clio are getting to the limit so going to have them replaced before winter really sets in. Took them to my usual tyre guy and he informed me they haven't done bad for an 8 year old set of tyres. "%$&£ off!" was my reply... Then...

    How long does it take a 182 to de-ice windows?

    She used to date Cam, the mad bald ice skater... I know of her but don't know her. Yeah, it definitely does, paints Blackpool in a bad light to be honest.

    How long does it take a 182 to de-ice windows?

    Not guilty no! A friend of mine played pool against some guy who looked like a smackhead that appeared on one of the first episodes though. Thats about as much of a claim to fame that I have.

    How long does it take a 182 to de-ice windows?

    Haha, you have been watching "999: Whats Your Emergency" then? I'm not keen on de-icer, but I'm not keen on scraping the ice off for 5 minutes either so its either this or This. Seen Fords do it in 2 minutes flat. As you say, genius idea!

    How long does it take a 182 to de-ice windows?

    Just seen MarkR's media thread with a photo of his frozen Clio. It got me wondering how long it takes for the 182's to de-ice the windscreen? This will be my first winter with the Clio. Mine is running a decatted Milltek so not the noisiest of systems, but my neighbours tell me it is still...

    Clifford Car Alarm

    IIRC I read (when Intellistart was first launched) that the car's alarm stays armed and the doors locked. Once you manage to access the car (via the fob or by breaking in) you need to put the key into the ignition & then do a sequence on the pedals to be able to drive away otherwise it cuts the...

    I cannot wait :)

    As previously said be careful. I had a 192BHP MK4 Golf before my 182 and I was massively surprised at how 'raw' the Clio is compared to it. Took me a fair few weeks to adjust to the Clio trying to rip the wheel out of my hands in 1st and 2nd gear. Be gentle, and adjust to it gradually.

    Clifford Car Alarm

    It is illegal to leave a car idling on a road when you aren't in it.... But on private property such as your driveway? Surely not?

    Clifford Car Alarm

    I used the Berkhamsted Castle postcode to find this: http://www.clifford.co.uk/Support/RetailerLocator.aspx?ZipCode=HP4 You need to get Intellistart! Tempted to have my Laserline Thatcham 1 ripped out to replace it with a Clifford with Intellistart! Handy in the winter to warm the car up!

    Servicing & stamps...

    To be honest, I saw National's work first hand on my old car and was shocked! If I broke down outside a National garage now I would rather push my Clio to the next garage than let them work on it!
