    Warning lights

    Get Renault to plug it into there laptops and go diagnostics its possibly a faulty wiring for the pre heaters. The dci engine is quite techie not much cna be done without there laptops and its so computer controlled diagnosits without a laptop and the car is difficult.

    Break pad changing on a 1.4 16v

    Maximum idsc size behind turinis.....

    I'm sure they do you can get 280mm alloys round 15's Working on the same assumption 1 inch bigger alloys will fit 300mm alloys. Proper aftermarket c allipers are much thinner so I'd have no worries. I think my 15's have 340mm or so space inside them. There a forum member on here with those...

    $h!t MPG....

    Assuming 90p/liter that about 2.444 gallons which with 117 miles is about 46mpg which is quite good. I used to get 200 miles to £20 a few years ago in my Escort and that was when fuel was a bit cheaper and that did 30mpg (1.4 8V). I wouldn't worry unless it drops drastically for no reason.

    What should i do to my car? and how much will it cost?

    The 60mm kits good its more expensive than the 30 mm kit though. At the end of the day a 60mm calimed drop is more like 40 front and 55~60mm at the back.

    What should i do to my car? and how much will it cost?

    Not many Lexus light fans on here on a Silver or white car they'd maybe look better in the eyes of others on here. Negatives of lowering are a bit harder ride your lower to the ground so more possibilty to damge the underside if you drive over somehting but never an isssue whn mine was lowered...

    What should i do to my car? and how much will it cost?

    Lower it Fk coilovers (£550) are the best realy for a low ride but or Apex kit (£200~300) are a good value compromise but down't lower as much. I'm not a fan of the Lexus light but each to there own. Turini Alloys 9ie the ones from the 172 Cup) look very good lowered IMO. Then go for...

    $h!t MPG....

    Yep when the engins cold the ECU puts more fuel in so long journeys th engine gets hot and the ecu doesn't put as much fuel into the engine later on the drive. Plus stop start traffic ruins fuel economy.

    What gains would you expect?

    185 or so I'd think will depend on how good the engine is before hand though. ECU remap from Chipwizards is about £350 they can up the limiter. An SMT6/7 from andi incluiding mapping and fitting is about £500 i think then another £200 or so for a R-Sport ECU with 8k reline.

    I HATE MY CLIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still love it tho, dont get me wrong

    If they rattle or have give you need new ones as most likly the rubber gailers at the end will have cracked and the grease will have leaked out so the metal to metal has litrally been wearing away. If so new shafts from halford etc arn't to much or £15 for new gaiters from Renault. However new...

    YoShImUrA there wans't any extra sets made so warently issues are difficult to fix. Renault arn't doing the upgrade kit any more the idea was dropped (probably due to trophy owners getting upset there cars wouldn't be as rare) plus they cna now use the same technolocy etc dampers on the new RS...

    Dci Turbo adjustment

    Won't fit a Clio dci they don't work like this they take pressure and temp reading sot work out pressure and the pressure readers are directly connected to the piping. Anyway you don't need one unless your running extra fuel mapping and have smoke otherwise you'll get no more power infact...

    1.5 dci diesel clios

    The 100dci was overpriced IMOo vs a 172/182. Thats why they loose a load of value from new. The Fabia VRS or ibiva TDi with a 6 speed better spec and 30hp more was about the same price plus they have a more sporty spec list.

    Lowering Advice

    Nothing wrong with spending that much ion a 1.2 there great. I'd definatly chnage the shocks as well though the standard shocks will wear out quickly with just new springs maybe 6 months maybe 2 years but they do get worse. I had to have my dampers off a few times for warently work as they were...

    Lowering Advice

    There need to to squash the old springs so you can take the damper to pieces without the springs flying off and injouring you. Once the springs removed you loosen the spring compressor to unload the spring.
