    Renault Clio Dynamique Billabong Clutch

    i would imagine your instructors car is probably fairly new and will be one of the models with a hydraulic clutch which are a doddle to use, going from one of them to an older mk2 clio will make the clutch feel quite heavy, try and compair it to another model of similar age, as if its...

    1.6 VVT

    nothing much out for the engine as there isnt much to be had from tuning it without spending mega mega money. im sure catcams will do cams for it if you really wanted, although not a worth while way to spend your cash. they remap quite well apparently! probably only around 7-8hp but not bad...

    Happy With Your Car?

    my 200 was nothing but problems from day one, 15 dealer trips was enough, after 10 months ive never been so glad to see the back of a car while at the same time never been so sad to see one go!!!! its strange! ive had some awesome drives in it but unfortunaltey its broken or falling apart more...

    High Milage matters?

    id disagree with that, ours are always sound. my first car was a 140,000 mile 1.2 16v dynamique ex driving school car, full service history had never had anything other than brakes and tyres, never needed a single bit of warranty work or anything, and recently our Twingos are doing 100k in 2...

    my new clio Sx turbo

    i really like these, ive just chopped the 200 in and was looking at them but were still holding quite a bit of money in SX kit with nice options so ended up opting for a Twingo GT with the same engine :)

    yeah suppose it would be best just to polish the full car anyway, was planning on going over it with the PC anyway!

    Sold the house - cash in pocket

    not sure on your situation and if you need a house but id be sticking with the guys suggestions of getting a rental property, and id be plowing every penny you have into it minus enough for a car, probably something nice but cheapish (bmw of some sort most likely!)

    removing side decals - Renault Twingo

    Hi guys, wondering if you had any advice for removing the side chequred flag decals from a Twingo GT, they are all faded and need replaced, bit worried with the car being red too, any suggestions? just the usual hair dryer and machine polish afterwords? any recomeded polish or with AG SRP be fine?

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news i can see it already, pics released, no one likes it, too big, too fat, front bumper looks like a whales mouth etc, no ones driven one but everyones commented on it, then one by one the 200's start getting traded in for them and this time in 3 years anyone who...

    Clio 2.0 VVT 138bhp

    i agree a mapped dci106 is the better choice but modded vs standard isnt really an ideal comparions. a 182 will do the same mpg yes but remember the mk3 is a big heavy beast of a car, my dci 106 was 10mpg down on my dci100 and my 200 is about 10mpg down on my 172's. The 138 isnt about having a...

    Clio GT, Opinions/Faults

    GT in this country only came with the 1.6 petrol engine it was the rest of europe that got the choice of that or the 2.0 138hp engine. i always thought the petrol GT had the same 6 speed box as the diesel GT? which is a 200 box? i found it brilliant, in both my GT and 200, although the GT had...

    Clio sx TCE 1.2 thoughts

    they are awesome, bit soft suspension wise, the GT handles and rides much better but the engine is a cracker, my mate has one remapped runs around 125-130bhp and its very torquey for a small engine petrol, catch the 200 off guaurd in the wrong gear and i need to work very hard to keep up! the...

    Clio GT, Opinions/Faults

    go diesel, seriously! they are so far pretty solid, no common faults that i can really think of maby other than high level brake lights failing, and binding rear brakes sometimes. other than that no issues (on the diesel anyay) cruise control was standard, look out for bluetooth handsfree...

    Advice request: swapping from HHD to SSD
