I thought this too!! I always thought that oil takes longer to get up to its proper working temp than the coolant does.

Bargain!

lol

See how much the ibiza tdi sport is for insurance and go and test drive one if it's cheap.

You can still get it serviced elsewhere without voiding your warranty! Just needs to be a VAT registered place using genuine renault parts.

This. Maybe in 20 years when there's only about ten left that aren't in the scrapper - but the next ten years or so - forget it.

No it's not. If you select Clio 2 from the list it knocks 40 euros off the price.

Idling before you drive off is a terrible idea. They run richer when they're cold so the bores will be being washed. I drive off straight away then wait til the temp gauge sits at its normal level then wait a few more minutes for the oil to warm up before I give it beans. Most engine wear...

I don't care how good they are they still look like a spaz wagon :P

What this man said. Mate of mine had one with a map and a few other little mods, was about 185bhp iirc and was bloody quick. Same engine as ibiza FR and fabia VRS but doesn't look as sporty so insurance was much cheaper. Did low 40s round town and mid-high 50s on a run. not bad for how fast it was.

It's also quite common for the 17" wheels on an audi A2 to buckle and bend when hitting pot holes. probably mainly due to having a 40 profile tyre. I've had a set of audi replica wheels and never had a problem with them bending or getting any flat spots, they were very cheap too and had 40...

sounds like an air leak somewhere tbh, check your inlet manifold is seated correctly and check all your vacuum pipes are connected and are not split. If it's the phase 2 setup you've got you do not have an idle control valve - your electronic throttle body does the job of that.

I was driving to manchester a few weeks ago when there was a bit of snow and there was a crash involving a brand new insignia and the rims were smashed to bits a combination of what's happened in pics 2 and 3. Looked nasty! Tho tbh I think if it's taking that much of a wallop it's going to f***...

I agree - depending on how much it bothers you you could get one of the retrim ones from one of the guys on here they look fantastic - just waiting for mine now. I know what you mean about that I drive my dad's tdi now and again and it always seems rapid low down in comparison! I got myself one...

Love it. My next car is a 225 TT.

I surprised the build quality is not driving you crazy after have the M!

Just sat and read all 53 pages! Yes I am bored at work LOL absolutely epic. major kudos for keeping going with it. end result looks fab!! huge credit to you. I've got an e30 which I sort of intended making a project out of but have lost interest now and am thinking of selling.

M12 is the size bolt you need (i think)

If not try a vacuum cleaner whilst tapping it with a hammer

I'd just take it to someone with clip who know's what they're doing - cheaper than buying anything and less hassle.

What is the point of this thread?

Neh. Looks like a Justy lol

Who? Me?

Re: just got my clip sport think it needs a gearbox mount already need help on which Don't know anywhere up there I'm afraid.. Can anyone you know recommend a good garage? RS tuning in leeds isn't a million miles away but hopefully there's a good garage near you.

Re: just got my clip sport think it needs a gearbox mount already need help on which where abouts are you?

I would just get the KTEC top one, £95ish? KTEC gearbox one = massive waste of money imo.

Ask them? I've had a few exhaust mounts from them (not clio) and they didn't come in a renault bag. It was a patten bag but the mounts themselves looked identical to the genuine ones they were replacing. Saying that though I've had a top engine mount from GSF (I know that link isn't GSF) before...

Sounds like somethings wrong if the CAF's state of attachment causes bogging down.

give the k and n a clean if it's dirty. replace your pollen filter and if you don't know when the fuel filter was last done do that too.

Cheers for that Danny! Just a few of mine for now:
