In Sweden, Norway etc, you have to drive with your lights on during the day. It is the law! I got pulled up in Cheq Republic and fined 10 Euro's for my troubles!
Hi,
A friend has a year 2000 1.2 8V Clio (grande) difficult to start when the engine is hot or warm. Turns and fires but dies immediately. Usually does this 3 or 4 times and then runs ok so long as he blip the throttle and hold it at 1000 or so for a couple of seconds.
Ideas please...
I used to own a 1.2 16v and drove a few 8v's and the 16v is much better and revs much more freely. I think the performance figures speak for themselves as well......
8v ---- 58bhp ---- 0-60 15 secs ---- top speed 98mph
16v ---- 73bhp ---- 0-60 13 secs ---- top speed 106mph
£30 quid fine and NO points if your pulled for them......but 3 strikes by the pigs and you get points, that is the system most police across the country use i belive
cheers, i'm up @ the ski slope from time to time instructing, i'll keep an eye out for you next time! I'm quite likeing the black plates, something a bit different anyway!

if you were after a VTR you could probs get one and insure it...only group 6 i think. but if you were going down the clio route i would advise a DCi 100bhp insurance group 5. Then when you are 20 go for a 172/182 etc....before 20 the cost of insuring a 172 is mega, @ 20 it still breaks the bank...
I go to Heriot Watt Uni and live in edinburgh at the moment just opposite the haymarket pub....and my car is always parked near there, so quite possibly me!
Where is the best place to get my car serviced in the Edinburgh area, i don't wanna use a main renault dealer because they are rubbish.
Cheers folks

Citroen always have their 0-60 specs quite conservative, as if it has a full tank of fuel or a passenger in the car. Probs not much in it but the saxo will probs handle better but also has the higher 'chav' factor.
Comes down to which you prefer to drive!
