Expecting mine today :cry:

It wont.

We all make mistakes with mods mate - yours cost 55p which is cheaper than most! Bin it and move on! Youre not the first and you wont be the last :)

Hmmm looks appalling in a photo, probably awesome in the flesh.

tip. whenever you see words like this in a post or email it means its a chain letter - the original author doesnt give a toss about the fuel issue, he/she just wants to see his message propagated as much as possible. It wouldnt work anyway, but thats not even why the author wrote it.

lol yeah I was thinking that! How to avoid getting good advice!

whats the problem jon?

Nah - if you get stopped just point at my car and say "Ill borrow one of his". Youd need Securicor to follow you if you had a spare HID unit.

Clio V6 with 3 years warranty vs totally impractical vehicle that needs a £1000 service every 3000 miles? Easy answer unless you have another car. You need a lot more money than the purchase price to run a Ferrari.

^^ you can get them from Hill Power, or direct from Tar-ox. Details in the discount section.

They all do it mate. You can get an ECU re-program which will remove it, but its there to comply with the regs so best left as it is.

Tar-ox fast-road pads are really good.

The seatbelt pretensioner cables often come loose - theyre under the seats. This causes the AIRBAG and SERV lights to come on. Your dealer can fix this easily.

Youre going to get a bit of a meaningless answer on the reliability / faults side of this debate, because the Mk1s are older and will have done more miles and had more faults.

depends on the circumstances. If you make a claim and they find out you can bet theyll void the policy. Either way youll get shafted though.

what sort of chip?

Very common - but always starts second time, so who cares? Welcome to the forum by the way :D

I get about 32 mpg average. I dont live in a built-up area but I do make lots of short trips (4 miles to work). Occasional short motorway trip. On a run its more like 37 or 38 mpg.

Its a union member - demands double fuel to work on a Sunday.

Welcome mate :D

If you can find a good one you can have performance motoring for a bargain price and reasonable running costs. Most Clios are no less reliable than other cars, but as with any forum people tend to post more when they have a problem than when they dont. Mines done 29,000 miles now - lots of...

Sounds like a good day Tom. How did the Megane 225 fare against the Clios?

Whilst UK models have 16" wheels, this isnt true in the rest of the world. I know the Aussie model has 15"s for example. Check where it came from.

In my view it would be totally daft to change the tyres on day 1. Youre going to spend £600 to replace tyres that you might like! Give them a try - theyre probably fine, and if theyre not then change them after youve run the car in. Changing on day 1 is just crazy. Tyre choice is a very personal...

if its a Mk2 hes talking bollox. They do not have a torsion bar. They only way to adjust the suspension is with new springs / coilovers.

we get them direct frok Tar-ox (discount for members!)

Never had more than 6,000 from fronts, but do a lot of trackdays in the summer. If you want tyres look at http://www.mytyres.co.ukhttp://www.mytyres.co.uk

any wax polish will get them off.

I use Tar-ox fast road pads. Theyre expensive but they do not fade.

in that case the only thing you can do is get some lower springs.
