I'd just put it on the positive and negative on the battery!
But yeah start her up make sure the reading is above 12volts! And also make sure it doesn't go above 15.6volts (I think) as this is the cut off point for the alternator to stop charging!
I am with ya there mate! I could understand the Sachs suspension on the Trophy making a difference!
But hey I love my little Clio, shes the best daily i've ever had!!
Alternator not being able to keep up with all the current draw, maybe just a bad earth or a dodgy alternator.
Put a multimeter on the battery with it running and turn on all your consumers (apart from indicators) one by one and see if the alternator can take the draw.
I just phoned Renault about the pricing and everything!
She told me its not a recall but Renault UK call it a 'Yellow Notice' meaning that someone will inspect it and if they think it will need changing, they will change it, paid for by Renault.
So basically a recall without the name!
Cheers mate, just phoned my local Renault dealer to ask, and its never been done, but its booked in next week :)
All she asked me was;
"Is it rusty"
I mean on the phone diagnostics ftw :)
My old man is a salesman (for Vauxhall i'm afraid) but he tells me that TLC (Total Loss Cover) is worth it because if you or someone writes your car off in the 3years of finance, Renault will give you a new car to the same spec of the one you purchased.
Nah your right it doesn't last a massive amount of time, but I get 4 days off a week to do whatever I want, so cleaning the car is always top of the list...! Well nearly....!
I see you have a Trophy, whats the standard Sachs suspension like, as I saw someone was selling for £700, but for that you could nearly get KW Variant 1 couldn't you?
I love the 200, they look awesome!
But my 172 doesn't rattle, I think it must be the only one that doesn't cause i've heard a few people complain about this...!
7 cup packs? What were they?
My old man used to work at a main dealer and have a 172 as a company car, I asked him an he couldn't remember, the only ones he could remember was the 182 cup packs!!
Its just you don't see them advertised at all if there is a such thing...
I cant find anything...
So Sam and Tony, what would you class as 'decent' suspension setup for the track?
Would I have to be looking at Spax or Bilstien or even the ones that are advertised on here, the 519 set up?
Ah thats alright then, Dodo seems to bring out the flake in the paintwork really well!
But as to Cliotoby question, we all start on AG, then you get the bug and spends hundreds on new stuff :)
Is that HD wax really that good? I can tell you the man in the know, seen a few of your posts on DW
I bought Dodo Purple Haze not that long ago, was that wasted? I have a Monaco btw.
Hi there and welcome mate!

I wouldn't know if they are the same mirrors but I know what you mean by m3 mirrors? They aren't the best are they!!
Have fun with the car mate!! Theres is plenty of advice and bits for sell on this site!!
