    idle speed control valve

    the idle valve is different on the rsi compared to other clios because it is a laguna engine(the 1.2/1.4s use a stepper moter not an air valve).any 1.8/2.0 8 valve laguna will have the same valve.

    Faulty Trip Computer

    the trip computer works out the average mpg from since it was last reset.the mpg is an average figure not a instant one.when you reset it you will need to do a fair few miles before the reading you get is accurate.

    172 LIGHTS ON MY CUP

    xenon lights also have to automatically self adjust to the vehicle height to be legal so that would mean fitting front+rear level sensors and the wiring to headlamp adjustment moters.To put it to renault/172 standard spec you will possibly need-both headlights,ballast computers,height adjustment...

    heat with air-con only !!

    the sensor near your interior mirror is a humidity sensor so the computer can regulate the aircon/heating to give the perfect amount of air humudity inside the car(humidity is how much moisture is in the air).the aircon wont work below zero because the tempurature sensor on the evaporator will...

    massive power loss

    unless your cat converter has fell apart and the bits have gone down the exhaust i cant see what could have blocked your exhaust up.if it was that blocked it would choke itself up anyway and cut out.

    the noise is probably normal but your idle fault sounds like a problem with the motorised throttle body.
