    Anyone know much about this model of Clio

    generally really good little cars, make sure both the key cards work if it has keyless entry, engine and gearboxes are very reliable in them, look for good service history, they like good quality oil being turbo charged so worth having it done if its not been serviced recently

    Quick questions about the Clio Mk4...?

    buy a late 2015 or newer for MediaNav Evolution its night and day better (evolution can be identified by the outside temperature reading on top right of the screen beside the clock) - it doesn't do traffic info either but the nav is better, the system is much more responsive and sound quality is...

    Renault clio 1998 1.2 8v overheating for no obvious reason?!

    if the fan coming on isnt bringing the temperature down I would say the issue is the efficiency of the radiator so either its got an air lock, sludge or possibly the fins are badly damaged and not enough air flow getting through. I would flush it and put fresh coolant in and bleed if the...

    220 Trophy

    5 days in and ive never taken a car out more "just for the sake of it" than I am doing with this, even at 17/18 in my 172 when I had unlimited free time! I am actually blown away with it! - never a truer statement to take what you read in magazines with a pinch of salt!

    220 Trophy

    tbh I think all my clio RS have done that, my 182 and 182 trophy definitely did, and the twingo RS did too!

    220 Trophy

    I might look into it once it's a bit further Into the warranty period, I've used rs tuning on some of my previous cars before I took it a good 30 minute test drive and tbh it felt like any other modern auto, I'd say it was only after 24hrs and 250 miles that it started to come into its own and...

    2009 Clio sport 182 Exhaust manifold replacement

    different front ends: 197: 200: are you changing the manifold or just the gasket? I assume the manifold is blowing from the flexi joint so needs a new full manifold (or yours repaired once removed)? its a pig of a job and a common issue.

    Another DCi 172 replica.....

    Looking good on the Twingo wheels, I would try and source the Dacia intercooler instead, that's what I had for my 80, it is a direct replacement for the dci 100 unit

    Superhub 3 modem mode

    I recon if you stick a few spoons into a potato as antennas and ram a coax up its arse, it will perform better than a superhub 3

    182 Exhaust advice

    the ktec I had (centreline) came with an adaptor to fit to the standard cat or you could run it with their decat/sports cat for full 2.5" which I done with a silenced decat.

    Question on Clio IV GT Line rear bumper

    really like that, ive got the carbon pack diffuser so couldn't use it

    Question on Clio IV GT Line rear bumper

    looks good, so is the GT-Line diffuser mounted on top of the standard bumper or did you need to replace the full bumper?

    Twingo 133 - im in love

    not had any experience with consumables on these yet but as far as I can see its basically similar to a 172/182, expensive belt changes, no fancy front hubs etc like the 197 to worry about. same size front brakes. No rust given they are still under 10yrs old, interesting to see what happens as...

    Twingo 133 - im in love

    yeah mate 7000rpm limiter is a couple hundred rpm under the 172/182 engine, small flat spot around 4000rpm then pickup from 5000rpm+ it feels like an under powered 172 with dodgy cam timing :tongueclosed: but tbh, it never feels slow as its so light with a short ratio box, even when you pull...

    Twingo 133 - im in love

    if its the same setup on the facelift as the pre facelift then I had a sunroof in my GT and I would NEVER have another it used to rattle rattle rattle constantly and I couldn't find out where it was coming from, forum was full of complaints too. Climate is nice though! yeah 100% its a hoot...

    Twingo 133 - im in love

    yeah the ride is pretty stiff, I don't find it too bad though, road noise is bad though! makes her old Dynamique DCi feel like a Rolls Royce lol So I see! this one is due a wheel refurb but I'm not doing it yet due to her track record lol! Good power there, no desire to modify this one...

    Twingo 133 - im in love

    Just picked this up for my mrs, ive always wrote them off as just not having enough power to be fun, my old tuned Twingo GT used to eat them for breakfast in a straight line, but this thing has really got under my skin, so much so she has driven it once and taken my DCi Dynamique S Clio to...
