If the Clio is returned to a standard CAT after having a Decat will the emmissions light automaticly switch off or does Renault have to turn it off? Or can any garage switch the light off.
Cheers guys

Definatly was noticable. The car just pulled well from lower rev's. Its not just a gain of 20 BHP its an increase in Torque across the whole rev range too.
I was happy and am still happy with mine but when you come round to thinking about changing your car you start to think it was a waste of money as you wont see the £2500 you've spent again. Cams are expensive to return to standard, the new owner gets a great car all at a cost to you. I...
I pulled into Tescos in Luton on Tuesday early evening and parked next to a silver 172 with custom number plates with the Liverpool football team badge on it. When I came out the 172 had turned into a standard Blue 182 (not racing blue). Anyone on here?
Mine does it. From what i've read on here its normal? Its because the engine is cold and the ecu is protecting the engine until its warmed up a bit. Thats my take on it anyway!
I've have different favorites for different reasons
x reg Fiesta supersport - fav because it was my first car
B reg Nova 1.2 GL
F reg 1.6 Bluebird (really my dads but I drove it more)
L reg 1.4 Corsa sri - Fav for memorys, 18 years old and out and about in it all the time with friends and...
So whats your initial thoughts compared to other cars you've owned? Personally when I got my 182 I was dissapointed. I thought it was slow. Until I discovered the second half of the Rev counter, which happend to be on a corner! Then it just got quicker the looser the engine became.
I probably will, I dont want to spend my whole life paying off depreciation on new cars. I'm not minted so I might as well fight the urge and stick with the best car i've ever owned or just until I need something bigger.
I've got my first MOT next month so I don't know wether to change now or not even though I know it will sail through (hopefully!!) Sat in a corsa VXR today. Just done nothing for me. It just was trying too hard to be something special, not for me thanks. I'm test driving the Astra VXR next...
By what i've read Dave it sounds like your enjoying the turbo'd Clio!! Even if you encounter a few minor problems running it, the money you've saved by buying the car already converted rather then paying for the conversion youself, your in a win win situation! Fair play to you mate!
I'm coming up to owning my 182 for 3 years. Its the longest i've ever owned a car and am getting itchy feet!!. Thing is i've spent so much money on the car and its runs like a dream that I cant bring myself to sell it!!
So whos had their Clio the longest or what is the longest you have ever...
I sat in that when looking into purchasing an R26. I live just round the corner from Camden. The 2 things I instantly liked was the seats and gear change feel (gear change felt a bit like my old Puma short and quick). I did'nt drive it so I could'nt comment on that as I took a 225 out. But a...
You wont be dissapointed mate. The Clio is a lot of fun. I've not had any problems during ownership its been far from a money pit, apart from a few rattles its great, I love it!!
Glad some people agree with me. Maybe I explained it the wrong way!!! If your minted then fair do's but if your talking about having to save for it then stick with the 172.
I wasn’t trying to be nasty to the guy just trying to get him to see the bigger picture. He just took it all the wrong way. Maybe he secretly agrees with me and does not want to admit it.
I have spell checked the above so if anyone fancy's running it through a grammar check for me to I’d...
^^ is that your reply? Nice one!! You've obviously got nothing better to do then spell check peoples post!! Enjoy yourself mate i've got better things to do then check my own spelling let alone everybody else's!!
Mate you'll be shocked how quick time goes, honestly. I'm 28 now 19, seemed like last year. I did not realise its a spelling contest on here. PS Definitely is not spelt deffo. So check your own posts before having a go at me. Just a bit of helpful advice mate. Get your head out your arse...
Yea blast all your wonger on a car then the birds you pull on nights out take back to your parents house because your 30 and still at home. That will impress the ladies. Women hate blokes with stylish flats with sex in every room at any opertunity. They would much rather prefer a cosy coffee...
You could be putting that money towards your own shag pad. If you get a mate to rent a room of you too you could have all sorts of filth bag birds round every weekend instead of giving the dosh to an insurance company!
28 next week, 2004 GDI'd 182 with cup packs. Had from new. I dont know how you under 25's do it with insurance. It cost me a bomb before I turned old. You must all still be at home!! I'd post a pic but it just looks like any other standard silver 182!
