Get your lambda sensor checked as IMO 30mpg on a Sport with gentle driving is too low.

I know its getting expensive as its almost every 3 months!!

Mines been sorted out. The tracking was out and one of my rear alloys was really out of shape. Luckily the spare was true so i just had the tyre changed over.

Would be good to know if this would make a difference

I do mine every 6k but with todays synthetics i would think thats too often??

Nowhere near that much of an increase. I would guess 2-3kg

When i first got mine the previous said he had always run it on regular unleaded and never had any problems. It come with a full tank so i used it and averaged 32mpg most of which were motorway miles so i wasn't canning it around everywhere! i started to use v-power and the MPG crept up very...

Castrol EPX75w-80. Job done!

Probably a bad earth in the rear cluster. I had one where every time I used the brakes my side lights would come on. It turned out to be where one of the filaments had come loose at one end in the bulb so it was powering the lights on every time I braked.

Well today I've had all four tyre's balanced and the wobble is still there. The tyre place I used found that one of my rear alloys has a flat spot so they are going to put the good tyre on the spare alloy tomorrow but I don't see that stopping the wobble. On Saturday i fitted some new Koni...

Centre exhaust mount as said. I strengthened mine by wrapping a few cable ties around it vertically and horizontally.

I will never go near another ATS or a KwikFit as long as I live, I have had bad experiences with both!!

Any solution to this in the end?

Is there a good tyre fitting chain that can be trusted for proper wheel alignment?

Check out the guides section on how to beef them up

Tyres are over 6 months old. I'll just take it to the local tyre place near work and they can have the pleasure of bending the jacking points again:rolleyes: I will check stuff like wheel bolts etc again as I had both front wheels off on Saturday to change the dampers but Ive got a feeling...

This car is doing my head in at the moment! today it as developed steering wheel wobble! am i right in thinking this is just a balancing issue?

Can't be any worse than the crap renault supply. My rear ones were totally wrecked

Sod throwing 250 quid in the bin!!

Ah well at least they have a 3 year warranty!!

I had to get a remap to get the most out of my matched inlets Too smooth is a bad thing also

As title. I fitted some front Koni shocks this weekend and stupidly went to the dump and got rid of my old ones :banghead:. I went to play with the damper stifness settings today and one of them only adjusts 180degrees of movement out of a possible 720degrees. Any possible fixes for this...

Ive used them before and the colour was way off but im quite picky!!

Ok cool thanks for the help. I'll have a play once ive fitted the fronts over the weekend :)

I sometimes drive mine hard in first but very rarely as I usually just short shift into second and use the torque of the engine to accelerate through the gear.

Its my daily driver but it gets driven enthusiasticly when its dry as my run into work includes some pretty good B-roads. I assume stiffening the rear end isn't going to turn it into a tail happy monster as I definately dont want that for road use!?

How much stiffer at the rear would you recommend or is it hard to say? I assume you would have the front stiffer on a RWD car to get more traction on the back wheels?

Agreed. I've never got drag racing myself and why anyone would do it in a clio is beyond me. Hit some good B-Roads and do a few track days and the Clio will make more sense than it ever has.

There not height adjustible i'm afraid. How much stiffer should the front be? Don't suppose you want to elaborate on why they should be stiffer at the front do you?

Has anyone got any tips to finding the best damper rate for use on the road? For example do you normally have the front or back stiffer etc? I dont mind a technical answer the information on damper settings the better please!!
