    Few more MK4 spy shots

    they are dropping the 3 door to save cash as its not cost effective to make both anymore, so no chance of making the RS 3 door, as they sell such a small ammount of them!

    Which model Clio do you prefer and why?

    Re: Which model Clio do you prefere and why? ive never had the pleasure/missfortune to drive a mk1, but ive spent the last 6 years in a mixture of mk2 and mk3's and got to say the mk2's were great in there day but the mk3 is in a different league. 200 feels like a proper performance car, 172's...

    Opinions on 1.2 16v clio

    what i mean is how terrible it is to drive a 1.2 to be achieving that 50mpg, i used to average about 35 in mine if i was lucky as it was that painfully slow to drive, and i had never driven anything quicker at the time! jumped into my dci65 and used to get an easy 60-65mpg every week just...

    Few more MK4 spy shots

    a lot of people seem to be missing the point.. it can have 10 doors for all i care, if it pulls it off and looks good who cares how many doors its got? If it looks pants then it can have 1,2,3,4,5 what ever doors, it looks pants! I think the plus point is, its bassed on the current clio 3...

    dealership told me any further issues call renault uk get them to deal with it. but where does it go from there? back to another dealership? RUK are not interested in the car, they think its arnold clarks problem due to them doing the work on it, RUK were only interested when the engine...

    Opinions on 1.2 16v clio

    45mpg across a full tank isnt that great though for something so slow! makes it tiring and horrible to drive! get a good dci65 for 2k, higher miler for £1500-£2k, may be no faster than the 1.2 but is effortless to drive due to the torque and will do 65mpg over a tank without much trying!

    Opinions on 1.2 16v clio

    they are rubbish on fuel and slow, un refined, noisey on the motorway, just generally horrible to drive. dci65/80 any day of the week for the same/similar cash

    *HELP* What is easiest way remove a 1*2 engine ?

    ive never done a 172/182 but done a few non RS petrol and diesels. personally id take it out the top if your just doing it in your garage, you will need to split the box and engine, you may need to lower the subframe to get enough room to get the box out the road, but because your just dropping...
