    my 200 never one went above 24mpg but it was just a tool for going flat out everywhere it usually sat about the 21mpg mark and when out a blast was around 12mpg. i tried not to pay too much attention to it, couldnt really tell you what i ever got out my 172's as i didnt bother but i was just...

    Anyone getting a Clio 4?

    i was having a look at them the other day in the dealers, nice cars but am i f**k ever buying another brand new renault, im not giving them another penny after my 200 blew up. any reason why you choose the 1.2 16v over the 0.9tce? im surprized they are even offering the 1.2 16v, turbo ftw, our...

    fitted injectors and coded. power feels laggy now? :(

    i think the confusion is possibly coming from mk2 DCi's (all of them) being delphi and mk3 DCi's being Bosch as far as i know but its been years since i played with them

    fitted injectors and coded. power feels laggy now? :(

    dci 80 and 100 injectors are the same mate its the 65 that has different injectors. 100 just runs higher fuel pressure along with the bigger turbo

    about to pull all my hair out! TV/PC problem

    HTPC is putting out 1920x1080 @ 70hz, as it always has for the last 6 months on this TV, however ive tried lowering it to no effect. i genuinely cant understand it, im going to unplug everything leave it overnight then attack it with a fresh head! cheers for the ideas so far

    about to pull all my hair out! TV/PC problem

    thought id post this up see if anyone has any ideas, im leaning towards calling LG to get an engineer out but see what you guys think..... Ive got a 42" LG LED LCD tv, with an HTPC connected to it along with a blue ray player and X360 (all 3 devices are connected via HDMI) the HTPC suddenly...

    So called "Replica" with "sport" engine... pfffft.

    thats 100% a K4M, its running the 1.6 engine cover due to the way it runs in line with the left hand engine mount. the 1.6 engine cover doesnt fit over the 2.0 inlet manifold and i dont think the inlet manifolds will be interchangeable it could possibly (if possible) be a 2.0 bottom end running...

    ESP

    no its ESP, it gives you a row for getting the car sideways. i had it grab at a back brake when it lifted a rear wheel over the crest of a hill coming round a long sweeping right hander at about 140mph! (i blame my mate for wanting to stop for a piss brake 2 minutes previous and i forgot to...

    ESP

    yes esp is always on after each restart and then you press the button at your right knee to deactivate it (which brings the light up on the dash)

    ESP

    no that would be ESP, thats all the clio has, it limits wheelspin off the line too
  27. Martin_172

    ESP

    ive always found abs very good on the clio RS, yes it does come in a bit earlier than it could at times but with minimal issues, on a non RS it cuts braking force for a bit too long and can un settle the car, where on an RS its just a quick ease of braking force and back on
  28. Martin_172

    Unusual noises and brake issues.

    brakes should be pretty sharp on them, there is a bit of pedal travel first but nothing massive
  29. Martin_172
