mike8579 I read somewhere on this forum than any renault gearbox will fix clios so any 6 speed from a megan or laguan should be ok. Also the megan is fitted with a 1.5 dci and a 1.9 120hp that you mentioned so i guess renault kept the same mounts dimentions. Therefore the engine + gearbox...

Where about where u caught on the A483 was it on the downhill part. I will have to be more careful from now on as you realy can get some speed on that road. The reoad is a nation speedlimit dual carriage way so the limit is 70. I cannot see you loosing ur licence over it. I know of people...

Sorry for seeming stupid but where is the ecu anyway? EDD

I dont realy understadn the problem but why not just go and get someone to park on the ticket dispensor take the ticket and get ur mate to reeverse of it without going in. U then have a ticket to get out with.

Renault design the engine so that it will survive for 60000+ miles hard driving so they dont have to go replacing engines. My guess is that they build them to take about 85hp for least 120k so that they can be sure that when they sell them second hand that nothing should need replacing however...

mike8579 the clio used to have a 1.9 in it even in the new chap clios i dont know if they were ever sold in britain with the 1.9 but i know they were sold in France so i dont think there will be a weight problem. Dont forght that the 1.5dci clio weights only 65kg less than the 1.9 120hp version...

Turbos dont have to have intercoolers a turbo compresses the air before it is mised with the fuel. The air however heats up when its compressed an intercooler just cools the air back down again to allow for a more efficient burn and for more power to be generated. ie 1.5 dci clio can give 65hp...

I dont think there is any way of doing it Possible you could make some sort of PIC microporcessor which could recognise when the injectors were open and kepp them open for a very short time the same as a tunning box does. However I believe a better idea whould be to ty and get hold of a...

What I understand it to be is as follows Your car has a computer chip which stores the fulling map or set of instuctions for how much fuel should be injected into the engine at a set amoutn of revs. The chip will only allow that much fuel into the engine for the applicable revs. The amount of...

I swopped mine at 13k. I just used the normal kack on the front and a hydrolic one at the same time on the rear. The grip at the back now is useless. Ur probably best leaving them till there useless and then swop them round and replace the rears. Honestly you will be suprised at how...

I guess the stop light needs resetting at Renault. Get it into Renault for the other problems and whilst its in they will reset it for you. I have no idea how to reset the computer hopefully someone on the forum who works at Renault can tell you. Possibly disconnecting the battery for a few...

The dci engine weight more than a 1.2 etc so you need stronger springs. Are you using the stand ard springs now? here are some addresses for compnaies who do clio moded suspension well they fit the 1.9d and i guess that will be the same weight as the 1.5dci...

I have no idea what intercooler your using as forge dont do a clio intercooler but I guess it will be better than the renault one. The intercooler wont do much in my opinion u will probably need to get a bigger fuel pump and a new fuel map made to get the best out of the intercooler. As you...

I saw one of the convertible today on the way home with a bird driving it. I dont think it would look right with a bloke behind the wheel (not meaning to be sexist though). It seemed to be quite quick on the motorway. The car dont look too big so luckly no fat birds will be driving round in...

Im not sure u could run it for £10 not if its putting out that much soot. The engine must be right at its limit of power as soot occures when to much fuel if supplied to the engine and it cannot burn properly. Why dont they drop the 3 litre vel satis engine in there and then modify that then...

I belive the problem is due to the design of some sort of box or switch under the seat. Mine went in and they fixed it in about 1/2 hr. My loaal dealer seemed to accept that it wwould happen after 6months and said loads of them come back to have the problem fixed. I guess you will probably be...

My limited technical knowlege would say that an intercooler cools down the air after the turbo has compressed it and before its injected into the compustion chanber. By uising colder air the air is more compressed so more dense. This means you have more potential air to burn hence more power...

Its a 1.9 diesel 4 pot from the laguna tuned to 220hp and 40kg/m (about 300lb) of torque. Its based on the 3litres clio with rear wheel drive. http://alpinerenault.free.fr/magazine/usmodelersclio19dci.phphttp://alpinerenault.free.fr/magazine/usmodelersclio19dci.php Would love one of these:)

Try CB1A and see why its being sold when its so young?? maybe it was a refused car. And find out how much warenty work its had. You dont want to buy one which has allways had more that its fair share of problems. O ye and check to ensure somone hasnt crashed it and quickly sold it on cos it...

the ka only has a 1.3 8v in it unless ther giving u the new convertable thing as i belive that has a differnt engine

How about doing something completly different and drop a diesel in there? Renault do a 1.9 liter 130hp model which should give about 160 with a chip or a 2.2 liter which is 150hp or 180hp with a chip. Imagine all the extra torque (about twice i guess) the 6th gear and the fuel economy let alone...

List of thing to do to the courtisy car 1 Hand brake turns 2 Stop usin the hanbrake whatever the speed (be careful of this 1) 3 Drive on the rev limiter 4 Set on in 4at and 5th gear just to see if u can 5 Set of with the revs on the limiter (smell that clutch:) burn) 6 Complain...

CB1A should be able to find out how many times the car has been back for warently work Well it was on the details he sent me. Canot help you with the keys problems my alarm seemto unlock the car though. Not 100% sure that its not just me forgetting to though

So does that mean u could put any Renanlt gearbox in the clio ie an Avantime or 6 speed diesel from the Megan?

Try hitting it thats what i do when the dash rattles. Dont think it will cure the sunroof rattle though

My mate had one as a courtisy car he seemed to think it went quite well but then again his normal car is a 1.1 206 so its not over burdoned by power anyway

I belive insurance on a poweful old car isnt to bad. As they cost less to repair and if you write them of they dont cost as much to buy so settlement are less. Your best option is to ring a few specialists and maybe limit your milage and get a classic car limited milage cover which may work...

According to the renault website at 6500rpm u should hit 132.6mph at 7250 that would be 147.9mph I guess if u go half way between what ur revcouter and speedo says ur doing about 139mph Has anyone every complained that there car wont hit its max speed at a dealership? I would be...

All manurfactures give derated figure or a new car. Mine supposedly does 100 flat out and 62 in 15 seconds I have done 110(on the clock) more like 106 looking at the revs though and independant test show 13.8 sec to 62 Manurfactures just give lower figures to ensure that any car however...
