The Renault oil they use on the dci is fine its Porche recomendations etc.
Motul oil Id recomend but unless you going to abuse the car Id stick with the stock stuff and just change it ever 9k or so.

The Williams was when it was poduced the best hot hatch ever by many people standard.
Ok so the the standards have changed now and maybe the 172 etc is a better car. However the William still holds its own and for the price of them there superb value. A Williams with some money spent making...

So no idea how to make it clicky.
Sounds like pressures a bit to high at 6 Id expect that sort of figures if your driving it hard with cold oil or if youd got some chap oil. Could it be the sensor etc acting up.
Id be very worried if oil pressurs started changing one day eithe being very high or very low as this can be a sign...
Ive got the values on my PC at home for resister values however its the airbag not the seatsbelts which you need to stick resisters in. The Cup doesnt have side airbags so its not a problem.
Your PM to me didnt work I only got one word of the question.
However you took the last free space...
The V6 was unique a real car famous for its looks an the fact that Renault had the guts to build something noone else would do. After all VW built the 3l (means it burns 3 liters per 100KM which is the euro version of mpg )lupo after hearing Renault were builing a 3 liter car. They never even...
Dont ever stick poor gripping tyres on the bcak of a Clio that is unless you lik performing 180s on the road like I did. Thankfully only th car was damaged but it could have ben a lot worse. When the back of a Clio snaps awa it realy snaps away in my experiance.
Its a shame some dealerships or more approprialy some techs are like this its a common problem with most garages not just Renault. My old local Merc dealership had some issues.
I know the local Renault dealership so I know the cars in good hands its a terible shame that dealerships have to...
Friction are ou sure?
Ie ben looking at hat swop an the carir bolts attachments arnt the same apparently so you couldnt just bolt the setup on.
The 16V setup is an easy upgrade youll need all the stuff though, calipers, mountin brackets the bigger disks pads etc.
There £45 ex vat. Bit expensive but there the only realy option. Ive got some heat resistant stuff from Demon tweeks but it just burns aay. Then again it is touching the manifold.
Dont even bother trying breakers yards as these are the first things to go.
Thing is most people dont ever adjust coilovrs they set them to one height nad leave thm. If yo want th car corner weghing then they will just hav to leave the back and wrk on the front.
It is a bit unuauly but Ive had a set of Spax coilovers and they were the same.
The height at the backs not...
Real easy to fit them get a Haynes manula an just follow he instuctions.
Or there are a load of members on here who will do it for £40 where abouts are you.
Cannot help sending you the guide though Ive left my username a home so cannot get on myself.

Its all about the Mk1s ;)
You mean phase 1? Mk1s are William etc.
All Clios are superb in there given market/ competion. Things change if they get better thats a game of give and take IMO.
Fred youve got to build your engine first and make it survive with the toys before you can even attmpt to beat the VW car.
Be interesting to see how bbr go about getting that power though.
Shame theres no RS diesels though that a lot of buyers there mising out on. Unless thy think they canno beat Skoda/Seat at the game of making fast sporty diesels and knowing what RS an do to cars Im sure they coul beat them with the new RS chassic.
