    automatic headlights

    could be they switched the feature off too. Its controlled by a double on-off switch of the front lights whist ignition is at stage 1. It freaked me out once when i found it by accident when stationary with radio on and did it subcounsciously waiting for the missus.

A similar response with MOT results iirc. Also depends if the MOT'er see the decat and is happy to pass it in knowledge that is the...

    Blueray winning the HD race?

    the one genuine answer and no1 commented on it p**n was the reason VHS won over betamax and i imagine it will have a fairly big effect on HD Vs Blue Ray seeing as Sony wont allow ANY p**n on its media !!

    Why Would You Buy Another Clio.

    I dont think id buy another clio - least not yet. They are great value for money espesh the £11k i paid for mine new. However, dealer nightmares and build quality niggles mean im unlikely to go the same route. I would consider an R26 @ buy my car but only as its a steal at the rpice and imho...

    FAO edde/similar - tech info re starting problem req

    Im trying to fault find the starting issue on my FF 172 which appears to be temp related. The warmer the tempt he more awkward it seems to start. Somewhere between hot and cold. Initial turnover fine without starting, 2nd attempt usually fires and runs ok. No faults sown at dealer altho now...

    whats the massive surge of speed/acceleration after 4.5k revs

    erm there is....... Cant find it atm but im 99% sure its one of edde's posts which are stickied in this section or a link off it. From mem VVT is active from ~1800RPM -7000 ish the 4-5k kick is the cam profile changing to a more agressive one hence you feeling like knightrider pressing 'boost'

    Replacement 172 Steering wheel (again)......

    really ? From various conversation I have had with ppl ive heard its a common thing to only honour warranty work untill the warranty on the vehicle expires. Certianly looks the case with Renault as the customer realtions manager i spoke to yesterday said 'we cant cover 100% of the cost but all...

    Replacement 172 Steering wheel (again)......

    the only benefit of actually paying my 20% would be that id then get 12 months warranty with it, which seems to not apply if its a complete freebie. What i am considering also is that if i do pay 20% and keep the old one i could get it recovered properly and then sell the new one. Still waiting...

    Clio 182 factory HU

    er why woudl you, you have nice shiney new amp which is all good, but your still using a shitty stock hu as the source which will be bilge. The best setup is only as good as the weakest link and with a stock hu its pretty weak. Save the dosh youd spend on a convertor towards a half decent hu

    standard airbox modifications

    catch22 situation to get the induction noise you need an open system but by doing so would suck in more warm air. you really need a good caf to the filter in a sortof semi open system which gives you slight gain of the caf which is lost by the semi open system but gives good noise.
