    Engine Temperature / Econnomy

    When I had me 1.2 8v it managed about 400/500 miles to a tank on the way to college, when I started doing frequent motorway driving (50+) it all went wrong. Th 1.4 16V is actually worse on fuel then my 172 (Probably because of the gearbox ratios) Unless im sitting static in traffic for some...

    Typical 172 behaviour with added "spice"

    I think it depends how you drive, clio's being cheap like the saxo's and corsa's mean the chavs are interested but the insurance costs of the 172 typically keeps them at bay. People only see the clio badge and draw conclusions sadly.

    Car burnt out drivers door loom, now won't start!

    Was a long shot I know ;) Mine actually last tripped when the battery de-charged !

    Could be well off but have you tried the fuel cut off under the bonnet, red stopper above the battery - should click down if it's popped.

    Hopefully not a repost. That commentary towards the end LOL

    What is your favourite RenaultSport model?

    Wanted a PH1 Clio for ages, finally got one and now I want a different colour LOL I have a huge soft spot for the PH1 V6 and will (With any luck) own one in the near future.

    I got stuck on him on nightmare for a while but oddly not on Hell lol Im fully expecting him to be a hoot on inferno.

    Has anybody made it into Inferno yet ? I have a few mates who are doing it and they said it was nails (Barbarian's) but I don't seem to be having much trouble going through as a wizard - Only on act 1 however so hoping it will get harder.

    Lucky Indeed, got Booted off yesterday with "Error 1 Unable to create your own Party" followed by 3 hours off "Error 37" then the scheduled maintenance after. Good game, the downtime's getting a bit much though (Specially if you can only pop on now and then)

    He has some nasty abilities (specially with navigating with the mouse) I'm about to hit him on nightmare and fully expect to be stuck for a few days lol

    It never rains (my first proper Clio issue)

    If you can afford time without the car, you could remove the box and send it to be rebuild - Agency transitions seems to be a popular choice on here.

    Why do you modify?

    I normally just aim to replace old with new original, or if the original design was poor (Or stupidly expensive) aim for OEM+ When it comes to track time though, I can imagine it being a whole new ball game.

    It never rains (my first proper Clio issue)

    I'd mirror the above with ball joints, Ball joint's are fairly cheap and if your handy with a spanner, easy to change. From my experience with dead ball joints the feeling when corning was down right blizzare, you turn - not get the turn in you expect then the car snapped in the direction as if...

    RAID Newbie, Help Setting Up

    I may be wrong with this next comment, so take it with a pinch of salt, but I'm sure mechanical drives couldn't saturate the SATA2 bus so it wont really give any extra on SATA3 ? I always saw it as a bit of a marketing gimmick. 5.9 sounds about right for a solo mechanical HDD in my experience...

    MOT FAIL - various reasons - Help

    With the CV gaiter, I'd personally not go down the stretch kits route - they can be quite thin and a few times when taking the damper off I've had brown pants moments when it's caught the gaiter on the way off. Stripping the shaft down isn't so bad and as it's drivers side, you wont be needing...

    [PC] Diablo 3

    After getting through the bevy of release date errors, Diablo 3 players are finding their accounts under attack. It’s not clear whether it’s an exploitable glitch within Diablo 3 or improperly secured accounts on the client side, but many accounts on Diablo 3 have been hacked on May 19 and 20...

    He's actually a lot more "normal" then he appears, 90% of his videos are as you would guess "Staged" but watch some of his other more serious videos. Genuine guy and actually has a solid point most of the time.
