    MPG for a 1.2 16v?

    Its very accurate realy if you give it time to settle. I tested it and over read by 0.5% over 10k. However the inacuracies i put in it were probably more than 0.5 % so it could have been spot on.

    Engine mounts

    There rubsih stock might not be the stiffest things ever but uprated just cause trouble. Renault suprisingly invested a lot in a good setup. No one ever listens when i say it though

    182 - New Disks & Pads

    I don't like the Mintex extrem pads and I don't think most of the fancy disk are much use there IMO often poorly made and no point stock etc are better there looks only.

    Timing belt

    Gates etc do the cambelt but IMO I'd just use the proper Renault ones prices arn't that much more and least you know your not missing bits some places just sell the belts for £12 you pay 5.1 hour labour at a garage and then the tensioners etc fail as they do and your looking at £1k minimim to fix.

    Green stuff are a green backing plate and pad so they are more noticable but with some wear and dirt it is sort of covered ironicall the ds2500 etc look like stock pads.

    *With the cold weather due check list*

    Anyone got the KONI STRT kit?

    Just because you think you can doesn't mean you can even F1 drivers have people to help them get the most. As for what I'm saying well, as I quoted from your first post you asked if the Koni kit was any good on Clio's and hence I stated "I don't think there great but then again I don't rate...

    Clio 172 Cutting Out

    Depends how mecahnical you are both are easy enough though. TDC is dead easy only 2 bolts. But you need to find out the exact issue could be a dirty/blocked/faulty throttle body there not cheap but can often just be cleaned up.
