I know new noises are normal for clios but this one has me a bit worried. It's a spinning noise, like somethings wearing out, my first thought is Aux belt or maybe alternetor? The cars no longer starts first time in the morning so maybe alternator. The cars coming up to 70k so I know...

Clio Cup stickers on your side skirts. Seen you loads of times, just wondering if your on here?

56mph!!? You must have the patience of a saint!! My head would explode if I drove that slow;) I drive at 80mph everywhere my on the Motorway so in relation I guess im getting really good fuel economy:cool:

45mpg!! the best I manage is 40mpg on the motorway taking it easy, but I do boot it everywhere else. The only thing with a NA car is selecting the right gear for the corner, once you've had your cambelt done you'll be down shifting into 4-5k rpm and sh!tting yourself at how quick it pulls out...

I know what you mean, I always drove German TDIs and I thought they were quick, im now fully converted to petrol rockets! Ive had mine over 2 years now and it still makes me smile everyday.

Does the back bounce around when cornering on bumpy roads? Mine did this when I first got it, 2 knackered shocks on the back, replaced and all was fine. My car doesn't get skittish until 120mph, slightest bump and its a bit of a handfull, stable up till that point though and i'm running...

Yes it just pops off, then unscrew the isofix bar. The bar helps to secure the seats.

Have you removed the black plastic thing that goes over the isofix bar?

The only thing I would worry about on a cup is no ABS, its saved my172ff a few times. Also i'm not sure how much your gonna like any 172 compared to your Golf, I had a GT TDI and in traffic jams and long journeys I miss the comfort and goddies like cruise control. Clios are a bit basic. If...

F*cking headcase! That kind of driving must be normal in Turkey, hardly anyone beeped at him. If you posted a vid like that from this country the old bill would lock you up and through away the key! Love the lane markings - now you see them, now you don't! MENTAL!!

I was in a Silver 172 ph2, I flashed at you, you pipped your horn back. Car looked clean, mine is filthy.:cool:

You drove past me on the Henley Rd at 11am, I was pulling out of Dame Agnes Grove, Bell Green in my dirty Iceburg 172. This is the second time ive spotted you in the same place you have "ClioCup" stickers on your side skirts. Car was looking well clean, puts mine to shame!

Do you think it's something to do with th RSTuner, or the fact that the ABS unit can't be read by the RST and its creating fault codes?

No i'm not sure how it all works, I know your meant to boot it all the way through 3rd gear to get the correct readings but ive not tried it.

Whatever it is , I think its messing with my RSTuner remap! Sometimes it down on power, sometimes its not. Weird!

When I start the car up the SERV & ABS lights flash once, this is after all the warning lights have gone out. I'm thinking there's an old fault code logged somewhere but my RSTuner only reads the ECU. Is there a way of reading the ABS unit? Does it store fault codes aswell?

Whenever I get grease or crap on my windsreen I use white vinegar on it and the wiper blades and that always works for me. Stinks for a bit but that soon goes away. I use turtle wax shampoo when washing my car and that includes the windsreen, never had a problem.

The rear one goes under the main one, there should be a metal bracket with 2 holes that it slots into. It doesn't attach to anything like the main one does.

Needs side bullets doing, calipers look good aswell. You on standard springs? They look well high.

Maybe i'm not using the right words, I know it probably hasn't gone back to standard but it certainly feels like it. We all know when our cars dont feel right, I got use to the new map so I really notice any drop in power now. It just strange that when I refresh the ECU it sorts the porblem...

You could be right, all I know is what I can feel, when its working properly it pulls from 2k right through the rev range, when its not working nothing really happens till 4K. It feels like it did before it was remapped.

I remapped my car and its great when it works, every now and again it goes back to standard, I plug the box in and no fault codes come up, I erase and refresh anyway and it sorts it out. Ive started turning the ESP off before I start the car and the remap last a bit longer before it goes back...

This happened to mine execpt mine wouldn't lock, the boot lock mechanism needed replacing, the part cost me £60 then I needed it it fitting. To replace it you will have to unscrew the inside of the boot from inside the car, only 1 screw secures it ,the rest is held on by clips. Just pull it...

You need to open the software first with the Tuner box plugged into your laptop. (If you can find it on your hard-drive) Then connect to the car. Easier said than done if your cant find the software. If you PM Henk it could take him a couple of days to reply.

I had this on mine, it was grease and crap on one of the ABS sensors, Cleaned it and it went away for a bit but eventually I needed a new one. A faulty brake pedal switch has been known to cause the warning lights to go on, check to see if your brake lights are working. If they are then it...

If your into bikes no car is gonna feel as fast unless you spend big money. If it makes you feel better i'm not enjoying my car today, it's p1ssing down with rain, the windows keep steaming up, the remap I did felt great yesterday, today it feels like its gone back to standard, I need 2 new...

Good Car + Good Driver = Rapid!! Nice One mate, your car sounds Evil!!

Renault say you can put in : 0-40W 5-40W 10-40W Most people use 5-40W but I have used 0-40W in the past.

Guenuine filter from Renault. Ive just checked the dipstick again now the cars cold and its on minimum. So hopefully its only lost a litre. Gonna buy another filter tommorow, drain the oil, fit new filter and pour whats left back in. Hope that sorts it.

Direct line told me that because my GDI/Piper stealth diddn't change the look of the car (stuck out the back) that it wouldn't count as a mod, just a stainless steel replacement.
