Yes it is, I remember him posting about those brake ducts...

Re: Check out this b**ch That looks mental! Surely if you get one of the wheels stuck you are head over heels with broken ankles?

Yeah must be 60.1 mm centre bore or bigger and if bigger spiggots will need to be purchased. Also max size of alloys can be 17".

It can, not sure how though!

Update. Why not?

I purchased some phillips power 2 night bulbs for my clio. Made ALOT of difference. Would certainly recommend!

At the front there are two caps which cover torx screws. Slide the caps backwards and undo the torx. Not sure about how to get the handle off though.

You think it was much better than your 1.2 then?

I often drop down to second to over take something if i am going at about 40. In my 1.2 it doesn't really overtake in 3rd at those speeds.

lol

Yeah, I just don't get why it happens in 1st and not any other gear?

I am selling mine, an 02 reg 1.2 dynamique with 25k on clock in black. Looking for between 3.3 and 3.5k. Sam

I must admit from what I have heard I agree with the above. Saturday will be the true test though.....

But why does it not happen with the other gears?

PM BrianR he has a link to some autocar footage of the legallity of after market kits.

What is it in a clio and I assume all cars, that prevents you selecting 1st gear at say over 10mph? Also why is this the case for 1st yet you can still select second gear at say 80? Of course you would never release the clutch buy what is it in the car that stops the stick moving into...

Booked myself in for a test drive at Renault on Saturday. Hope the dealer isn't too pushy as I am certainly not paying dealer prices for one! He said they will try and get hold of a DCi 80. Sam

deffo white for me!

Yeah mine looks automatically after a set amount of time. You can disable it by holding down the interior locking button with engine running - you will hear some beeps.

Your thoughts on the second one down from Car Warehouse...

Where should I be looking for this type of motor except eBay and Autotrader? Dragonperformance chips seem to add about 20 bhp and 40NM of torque to each model, see below...

I have also lost my Radio code. Where do I find my VIN number? On the radio itself? Thanks Sam

I think I will do that. Hopefully Renault have a few in, although I will bet my bottom dollar they will be tossers and will think I am messing about (being only 17). Oh well, worth a try. Thanks for your help mate. P.S. don't suppose you managed to look up those faults at work, from the...

Ok, well I think you read my thread about my current 1.2 getting about 25-28 mpg so yours sounds like a massive improvement. So you don't think there is much difference between the 65/80 DCi and the 1.2? Thanks mate Sam

How easy is it to tune the 65hp engine? I have seen a few things on eBay which claim an increase to about 80hp for 140-200 quid. Dragon performance or something like that? What sort of MPG do you get Edde?

Interesting read. But I am 17 right now, insured in my mothers name as a named driver. The reason I did this was because I will lose all my no claims when I go to uni (as I will be there for 4 years with no car). Is this not the case? Have I been misinformed? Sam

Which DCI do you have? How does the performance compare to that of 1.2s and 1.4s? Insurance is similar, only 50 quid difference. Is the handling affected by the extra weight of the diesel lump? Sam

The quotes for insurance are as follows: 1.2 - 730 1.4 - 820 1.6 - 1101 DCI 65 - 759 DCI 80 - 803 Thats is in my mums name (she has six points) with me as as named driver. Given these quotes I cannot justify a 1.6. However the others are certainly viable. Thanks for contributions so...

Not sure which one he was referring to. I would be looking at either the 65 or 80. Thanks for your replies so far.......
