Nope mine bog standard. I cannot decide what to do. I fancy a chip or tunning box and some suspension work to get some decient handing but the choice is to much for me to undersatnd do I go for the whole suspension setup (I dont need an ajustable setup) or is springs enough or are bushes worth...

I think you should give them a chance to rectify the car. No new car is going to be perferct. I work at a large manurfacturing plant and we produce million pound stuff there every one has damage to them the customer has to accept that some damge will occure noone comes asing for money of just...

Im suure they will say you signed for thecar and so accepted it in its condition. By accepting the car you accept its condition although you should still have a case. Have you tried another Renault garage and see about getting them to do the work under the excuse of it being warently work. EDD

Ive got a black one it does look dirty quite quickly but when you clean and polish it it does look good. My old escort never looked clean or dirty so washing it felt like a waste of time I much prefere a car which looks good and noticable when its clean. A black car will get hotter but its a...

Ive not read the list of problem you have has stu. But if there are no soliciters willing to help you then maybe they know the case is unlikly to be won by them. If the damage is repaired to as good as new condition I dont think you have any reason to refuse the car as almost all new cars get...

You can change the ecu back quite easy back for warently work if you think the mod is to blaim for the damage or that Renault will be difficult with a moded car. But Renault have to prove that the mod was the reason for the failure. A moded intake wont have any impact in my opinion as its...

Not worth chipping it soory to say its a N?a engiens o you maybe get 2 or 3hp but that if your lucky. There are different type of chipping companies out there some will put a new chip in your ecu ie solder one in with the new power maps. Some put there own ecu in there, some will add to the...

Could you only be hearing the squeeking when you let off the throttle? If so it could be a gearbox mount. My guess its some rubber support either the suspension ones or the engine/gearbox ones. Renault should be able to find out which ones it is. JAY172 was saying that all 172 were/are hand...

I didnt get anything from them you should have a card with there number on it in the owners manual or in the car behind the tax disk. I cannot see any problem calling them out especially with a cup as the tyre stuff wont work on all tyre damage. There is normally as limit ot the amount of...

BenR was answering some questions about this reciently he sais it wasnt worht it new Clios have ABS and EBD and other stuuf I forget what there called. He said that the ABS would mess up and go 50/50 braking with rear disks causing you some massive problems. If your going to disconnect the...

Some versions of the old 1.6 had disks at he back when I say old I mean the last shape clio lights one the ones like this http://www.cliosport.net/specs/172-1.jpghttp://www.cliosport.net/specs/172-1.jpg Im guessing that maybe the rear disk brake change isnt to difficult then if the factory...

Ok assuming you sell your car in March you have about £1200 extra finance outstanding plus as your on a standard contract I belive you can just return the car without any problems or pay about 4.5k and own the car (the car should only be worth about that unfortunatly) So you have almost no...

£1500 FC at 18 sounds liks a good price. My parents were paying almost that for me at 19 on an 1.4 escort 3rd party only with a restrictive milage policy. Try Liverpool Victoria or Tesco they offere decient deals. EDD

There commanding massive premiums there one for sale at the Chester garage near me I saw it today it has a huge sign saying its one of 5 left or something but they want £25k for it (it was only 20K new I belive) MPG on them is poor someone on the forum traded one in for a 172 saying the FRS...

There was a thread about tyres swopping a while ago. My belive is that its best with the same tyres all round. Best in my opinion to but the back ones onto the front of the car and new ones on the back for reasons explained in the old thread (title swopping fron and rear or something like...

Im afraid not some places may take not of it but motorbike no cliams cannot be used on cars. I think its to stop people buying a scooter and building up yrs of cheap NCB then getting cheap insuracne on a fast car which they cannot handle and crash. I dont know some people get similar quotes...

You have probably unknowingly turned the automatic function. To turn it back on again you need to have the key in the second posinion with the engine not running and turn the head lights on and off twice fully you will know when you have done it as a you can here something beep twice in the...

Renault dont make it easy do they for cheap moding ideas do they. The higher pressure efficiency is linked with the mutiple nozzles to make the highy efficient spray. I cannot see why you need higher injection pressure due to higher compression ratios, you will need them for more efficent...

I have the alarm fitted to my dci. Worst think I ever bought it cost me £300 and is no end of trouble although its ok now after going back to the dealer loads of times. The main problem with the alarm is the sensors there ultra sensative. I had mine turned down in sensitivity by the dealers...

Yep Thats what I guessed to to be about. It may have been less than possibly as low as 25 though and the engine didnt respond well to the treatment. I did cruise along like this for some time so its not a one of down a hill mpg reading it was going up from 100mpg at some rate. My idea of the...

After a quick drive to the shops today I noticed smoke or something comming out from the front grill of the car (I only noticed or it only was noticable when stoped at a junction). When I opened the bonnet the smoke or steam had gone away. The top of the dipstick was missing. Are these two...

What would happen if you could change the resitance of the sensor yet still use the senors ie add resisters in series or parrellel. Ive reconnected the sensor today anyway as after a quick drive to the shops I noticed smoke or something comming from under the bonent. When I opened the bonnet...

Ive got a Haynes manual for the last generation Clio (>98) there is nothing about crome battery cover do you means some modified Clio Haynes manual? EDD
