My indicator symbol appeared on the dash when I was braking. So I took the car round to the dealer and they fixed it.
"Its fixed now Sir" he said "Thank you" I replied and took the car home.
Easy isnt it?:)
Just reading the Reanult magazine.
"By now, more than 70 cars will have been delivered to their eager owners"
"Production of this specialist car is never going to be in large numbers, with only a few hundred making it onto UK roads each year"
I wonder though, for how many years ?
I have...
I want to put a links section on my wee website and Im looking for some companies/contacts who have v6 tuning expertise or parts available.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
V6 3.0 240 bhp
Car weight 2035 k
0 - 60 in 8.5 secs.
If this engine was put in a car weighing only 1035 k
What would you expect the 0 - 60 to be ?
4 secs, or is it just not that simple?
Just curious.
I just found this list on the net ( a Renault fan ) but I wonder why the 172 or Cup is not in the list? 55k Swiss euros for a v6!

I think the OZ Sts suit the V6 but what other wheels would you consider?

Hope seany wont mind me borrowing a pic of his V6.
Does anyone think I should remove the mesh bit I put in to hide the dirty exhaust boxes?
Seany ? Are your pipes a bit wonky?

This all looks a bit odd to me. From what I read, I would rather have a new MK1 172 ?

Really dont know anymore if this is meant for off topic or not but.
I got fed up with recieving emails about Renault 5 parts. The V6 isnt in their "My Car Is" list.
I asked them if I had a 172 would I still get millions of emails all about 16vs and 5s ?
They kindly suggested that I...
Do I keep seeing Cups for sale? Am I just imagining it or does there seem to be many more posts entitled CUP FOR SALE.
Is there something major that Cup owners have found which has put them off owning one?
I do see a lot of "I really love my Cup" posts, but just as many wanting to sell.
Ideas?
Was in my local dealer Friday and a guy asked if I was going to get a MK2 v6 like the one their sales manager has for a demo car.
So that was the one I spotted on their forecourt. ( see spotted forum )
Does anyone have one in Sirius Yellow?

I must get some new wheels soon as mine have lots of little scuffs etc. Do all you V6 owners stick to the original tyres for replacement. These so called "Specially developed for the V6" tyres, is this a must always replace with OE situation?
I have done 18k and this is will be my 4th set...
I understand the need but dont you think these damn things spoil the looks ? Sorry about the scans ( I am crap at this stuff )

Might be wrong forum, but is there a standard torque setting for Clio wheel nuts? Would a v6 be any different?
How can you tell if the nuts are tightened enough or too much without a proper wrench?
If you get the feeling you car just isnt feeling 100%. Do you take it to the main dealer and ask them to check it all out on their techno machines?
Do you have to pay for this if they find nothing wrong ?
Just curious.
"However, performance fans will be more interested in the Renaultsport Be Bop, which features the same 2.0-litre turbo unit as the forthcoming Mégane RS, tuned to give 225bhp and 300Nm of torque."...
When automatic speed limiting is invented, ( via GPS etc ) would new drivers be unable to go over the speed limit in any area.?
Is this idea even possible with todays technology?
I recall R plates being used for the first year after passing your test. Restricted to 45mph maximum ( or...
Just a thought, but is there any of those little "Let me see what its look like" gismos for rear tailpipes anywhere on the net?
Or would any web expert fancy writing one? It would get a lot of use I reckon.
Does anyone know why it is called Clio?
Is there may other cars with what seems to be agirls name?
All I can think of is a Sylvia ( might be wrong on that one )
When people speek of a 16v do the usual mean a phase 1,2 1.8 16v ( bonnet bulge ) and not a 1.2 16v mark 1,2 ( Billibongy thing )
(I think this post is about generally Clios if its moved please give me a hint as to its new home.)
