    The £800 stop gap car.

    I love that shape laguna too, would love a 2.0t 205hp one with the F4RT or a DCi175 one

    The perfect fast road set up for a clio 1*2??

    because Renault spend a considerable amount developing the bushes for the car, and when new the cars drive brilliantly so that's how I wanted it to drive :)

    look at the fuel lines in the engine bay whats happening? full of bubbles? you will occasionally see some. there should be a primer down beside the fuel filter on the opposite side of the battery tray from the battery, pump that a few times then turn it over, might take 10-20 seconds turning...

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    looks like a good runabout, I prefer small turbo petrols to diesels, I don't do massive miles anyway, I wouldn't pay anything near that for one. im sure when I bought my GT DCi mk3 with every option bar sat nav ticked it cost me just under £15k, this is 5k more expensive!!

    Paint peeling - Renault won't sort it....

    my 200 had started to do this very slightly not as bad as yours, i had it from new until it was 10 months old, there was various other paint defects such as runs on the bottom of the passengers wing etc. i had enough bother with it mechanically to even attempt to get the paint work sorted, hence...

    Front shock bolts are a pain

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    had a look around a liquid yellow one in my local dealers, guy came over briefly told me that it has launch control does 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and they aren't getting a demo in, neither is any of the Arnold clarks in this area, if I want one I need to buy one lol No thanks!

    Replacement/upgraded suspension - which is best?!?!

    you could always go for eibach prolines which are much the same ride height as standard but with the extra stiffness of the sportlines, not many people use them though as the sportlines offer a nice drop but not enough to cause any issues. ive just fitted to my 172... 172 cup front dampers 182...

    Broken Eibach Sportline

    Knocking sound from drivers side front wheel

    were the wheels straight? if so sounds like possibly the assembly nut on top of the strut that holds the bearing etc in place is loose, should be able to do it I think without removing the strut just remove the top nut under the bonnet and see if you can tighten it, never tried it that way though
