Unknown, probably old, would one fail take them all out?

Pirate treasure stop the glow plugs from working?

Sure someone here will have experience with this. DCi 65, glow plug light is permenantly on and it's struggling to start when cold. Turns over for 10-15 secs then starts with a ploom of white smoke, turn it off when it's warm for example at the petrol station and it starts perfectly as normal...

My local scrappys had a few let me know if you want me to get a set cheap as I get on well with them

It's a genuine 16v sport that's been colour coded poorly. Replace all the CC bits from a scrappy and it would tidy up nicely. Colour looks a bit UV faded but maybe just a poor photo. He dropped it from £500 to £350 still a bit expensive for what it is/work required

The r-link runs on Android anyway, what benefits would you get from replacing it? I'm pretty sure the benefits wouldn't outweigh loosing the rs monitor

yes that will be pre VVT, nice cars always liked the 1.6 16v

just not long sold mine after doing 20k in it in a year. Best Renault sport I've ever owned, and I've had every hot Clio since the ph1 apart from the V6's! Once you settle into a groove with it its fantastic, hugely more capable than its predecessors I found the interior build quality was...

if he drops the price this will end up in my garage haha

if you have to ask that question then you don't want to be spending money on it! that turbo is tiny and of course the manifolds are completely different the engine can be turbocharged, bloke is your man with his twingo RS adventures.

Runs off the abs so that's first place I'd look

buy a van!

My Halfords one has been used a few times a week for 15yrs, been spot on, going to replace it with one of the Costco ones soon though and promote the Halfords one to the back of the van

whats it worth as is to save breaking it? I know a mate looking for a project. the 197 from hell bites again lol!

Best. Thread. Title. Ever.

I get about 35mpg pottering about on my 50 mile motorway commute If I take the van instead and just use the 220 blasting about locally it drops sub 30 very quickly

These were proper fucked, MOT fail and could hardly see at night, an hour with wet and dry a d a machine polish...

I doubt it will be any better than the cup-s on fuel tbh

You average 100mpg over say 100 miles? Surely that trip computer is broken. I can drive pretty economical but 70mpg on a long trip is about the best I could ever manage

MPG went up a little due to the torque you didn't need to down shift as much but drivability was night and day, standard ones feel broken when you go back to one lol the performance is fantastic, the torque from 1500rpm-3000rpm is brilliant

I average 35mpg pottering about in auto normal mode, push on and it soon drops sub 30mpg. Facelift interior is a bit nicer with the different centre console and nicer air vents etc, led lighting inside and led lights outside make a massive difference when driving at night. They are apparently...

Bullet proof, no issues to report. My wife done 160k in a 14 plate over 5yrs, I done oil and filter every 18k and brakes when it needed them, probably 6 sets of front tyres and it was still on it's original rears. Was never back to a dealership in the 5 years we had it, sailed it's 2 MOT's too...

Good condition 172, the cup weight saving isn't worth it when your going to strip the 172 anyway. Strip, fit your safety gear, brakes, 15s/tyres, suspension. And enjoy

fantastic cars absolutely loved my pair! such a riot once tuned, I used to hold on to 172/182s until around 100mph which really is more than enough for the road these days. my first one was a bit higher milage and I roasted the clutch with 150lb/ft in about 2000 miles lol the second one had no...

Was a faulty tdc sensor, £2 from the scrappys! Mates white DCi blew a boost pipe so the wee van came to the rescue and done a 50 mile round trip to save him with a new pipe

Cup dampers Eibsch sportline springs M1144 front pads Good quality front discs Pilotsport3 tyres Smaller steering wheel And the best mod for them, rstuner 98ron map

They are leaps ahead of the MK2 and MK3 in every way imo

Yeah it rectified all the silly bits they got wrong with the 200 and the facelift interior is a touch nicer. Never driven a 135 but I've driven a 140, fantastic cars, stupidly fast but the Clio is a hell of a lot more involving to drive. It's still got that Renault sport magic but without the...

I just got my mates garage to do it for me as my weekends are action packed at the moment! they just used all gates stuff on it, spot on so far. no not seen it will check it out, definitely not bidding though haha!!

I done that with mine fee thousand miles, decided engine was good as done the works, belts, tensioners, water pump etc etc
