At what speed was I going when I hit the limiter in 4th?

Silly me, I have done 1100 miles in my car and only tonight did I discover that extra half inch of travel in the throttle if you push it down hard after that click. What I want to know (it was hard to tell) is does pushing the throttle past that point give you any extra performance or not?

Sure I have read about people damaging their anthracite wheels before but search didnt find anything useful. I just noticed a small stone chip on my wheels and of course its bleedin silver under the anthracite colour. Can I get a touch up stick or something? Its not big kerbing damage. Its...

Ive had a fair few cars and many of them have had discs all round but this Clio is the first car I have ever had where the rear wheels get dirtier than the fronts?!?!?!?! Why is that? I am really gentle on brakes. Not sure if all the dirt is brake dust and there is always a load of grit and...

Ok please can someone do me an idiots guide to the cruise control. I dont find the manual that helpful. I just been out on the road playing with it but there doesnt seem to be any logic to what was happening! You have that little switch on the lower right panel. If you leave it in the middle...

Quick question: How many canisters of tyre foam stuff should come with a 182? Mine had one but the bag thing it came in seems like it should hold two?

Waited since mid June for my 182. Was getting it this afternoon. Just had a call saying that when they went to load it on the transporter to deliver it to me the engine management light came on! Gonna be delivering a hire car to me now. They cant tell me when I will get the 182. Breaking...

http://www.geocities.com/toypops/Warning.jpghttp://www.geocities.com/toypops/Warning.jpg A mate of mine has just had the following warning light come on in his 1.2 16v. Any idea what it is, he is out and doesnt have his handbook on him and needs to know what to do!

I remember a discussion a couple of weeks back regarding delivery dates. I ordered my 182 mid June and have so far heard absolutely nothing. I remember some of you saying you had ordered your cars a month or so after mine and were expecting to pick them up mid Sept. I guess if you are going to...

WTF!!! Watched the re-run of the 182 episode on UKTV People. The review was exactly the same but the background sound track was completely different to the original broadcast. Mysteriously even the music the stig played whilst driving had changed!! How bizarre!

I have been speaking to a couple of lads who regular attend trackdays at Castle Combe. They dont have Clios, one has a Swift and the other an Impreza. Funnily enough the former set the quickest laptimes but I am interested to know what laptimes 172/Cup/182 owners here have done up there so I can...

OK I know that using washing up liquid on body work is an absolute no-no BUT... I have been using wonder wheels on the alloys and you have to be damn careful with that stuff as its an acid so if it flicks on your paint or if you have a damaged wheel you can be in serious trouble. I figured...

I ordered my car in Racing Blue with Competition Stripes at the end of June. Delivery would therefore not have been until October (how feckin batty is a three month lead time for a 5 year old designed car that falls apart after a few thousand miles). Anyway Renault contacted my online agent...

Am now ordering my 182 with the cup packs after failing to find a new 172 Cup. Been approved and everything but will have to decide on the colour by tomorrow. Have had two 1.2 16V Clios in the past and they were Platinum. Found this colour to be good as the fine swirls were invisible, they...

I have owned a Mk2 and Mk3 Clio 1.2 16v Clio Sport in the past. I currently drive a Vectra but now I can afford to buy the Clio I wanted to buy in the first place! Trouble is I had my heart set on the 172 Cup and then all of a sudden Renault come up with the 182. The 182 is fine but I prefer...
