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.
Dead easy to do.
Halfords £17 for some FDB 845's and then bleed the system with some new good fluid see here though for more info.

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...
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.
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.
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...
New from Renault there about.
Cup 7701 474 864 spoiler £142.32
Cup 7700 429 000 brake light £30.29
Cup washer jet about £6.50
You ned all the bits to get one to fit plus a bit of piping for the washer jet.
Those prices are a bit old but give you an idea plus come unpainted.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
Clio G-B loads of places sell them motorworks or somehting like that on the net are about the best price. After my experiance with Spax I'd stay away not saying there bad but o'd go with one none ever had trouble with ie Apex.
Clio 1.2 You can buy compressors for £30 or so then return them...
I've gone one use dci owners are quite rare on here.
Mines the 65hp model its not to bad i drive it hard and get 55mph worse on the road 37mpg but that was fast back road drving for a few miles. Worse ever is 29.9mpg on the track. I've seen over 80mpg if your going carefully. In 5th at slow...
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...
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.
Lower it with new springs and dampers it makes a huge difference than just springs i hated just springs. Apex kits are great value (£200 to £300 or so depending on drop) Fk's are better and let you lower the car as far as you'd ever realy want to but thats £550 or so.
I had my car lowered on...
Lowering about £40 from forum members on here.
A garage your looking at £70~90 or so.
Lower it with new springs and dampers APex kits are great value (££00 to £300 or so depending on drop) Fk's are better and let you lower the car as far as you'd ever realy want to but thats £550 or so.
He didn't sell the Evo someone else decided they wanted it more than his alarm wanted to disagree. Hence his forum name.
Its not a bad cars just not a fast car for the money. I don't want a fancy car one which is more show than go with limited seating //lugage space but that doesn't stop me...
Drive therm hard stopping from 60 to 5mph a few times then let them coold down never stop and have your foot on the brakes.
Thats what I do with mine its the proper procedure if you don't they get some heat into them they don't bed in properly.
There a few fixes depends wha's been chnaged upto now
Get a new handle there not mcuh from Renault.
The best fix is the final one Renault do which is to replace it all but its a big job.
