Just kerbed mine for the first time. Didn't want to start a new thread but needed to have a moan about it!!
Am slightly pissed off to say the least. Luckily I refurbed them myself. Just means im going to be doing some patching this weekend!!! Still it had to happen one day.
Phoned Rentech. Apparently they are a b*****d to change and are not known to fail very often so they are going to check them out when its serviced in a few weeks.
As title need to change my rear bushes as they were an advisory on my MOT. Is it an easy job? i.e i've tackled the Aux belt on my own so how does it compare?! Also has anyone got a part number for the bushes so i can get some ordered from Renault?
Thanks
Your running the engine to lean its not getting enough lubrication from the fuel so it will get too hot and cut out. Running lean enough for the engine to cut out WILL damage the engine and will eventually kill it.
There should be 3-4 adjustable needles depending on the engine. One for idle...
^^ I worked out that over the course of a year its actually cheaper (slightly) to run on premium fuel as you tend to get more miles to a tank. Seems to me about 30-40 extra miles per tank.
Fuel near me is 117.9p for regular and 124.9 for V-Power.
Therefore say you were doing 35mpg over...
Clio Sports do have knock sensors and will advance the timing as much as possible because of this. Hence why they should run better on higher octane fuel as it is more compressable and will therefore be less likly to preignite under compression so the timing can be advanced more.
I'm getting 36mpg when before I was getting 32mpg over a journey thats 60% motorway. Thats now over 3 weeks and 4 tanks of fuel so im confident that my mpg has gone up.
If you are getting more torque and more power throughout the rev range you should in theory be not changing gear and...
If you go from using regular fuel to high octane fuel I think your supposed to reset the ecu by disconecting the battery to make sure your get the most from it.
This may be of interest to some people. It may have been posted before in the past but I could't find it when I did a search.

Some of it makes for an interesting read.
Is it definately not then they could have shot it there?? Fawley over to the right of the pic and IOW over to the left. Slipway looks so similar its unbelivable.
Anyone got links to the pics??
They dont have anything to do with the cambelt as they run off of the aux belt so i dont see why not. May have to wait for someone more knowedgable to pop along though!!
Dont have mine in front of me but I just clicked read ecu and saved the file that that produced. You dont need to open it or anything once its been done. Your web browser may open the file by default but should be nothing to worry about.
PS : I wont pretend to be an expert I'm just getting all...
Is that picture taken on lee-on-the-solent slipway?? I'm sure it is. Is it a picture you took? I like the blue but your right about the caliper needing to be toned down a bit!
