    Some advice.

    give the guy a brake!:rolleyes: welcome to ClioSport mate... as has been said before they have the usual problems most of which are sorted out under warranty, things to look out for is blowing exhausts, they have a habit of rusting and falling off quickly, rear dampers leaking oil, leaking...

    urgent advice please

    ^1.2 16v's dont have accelerator cables, there fly by wire, only the 1.2 8v's are cable^^ first thing to try is cleaning the throttle body since its free to do it, if that doesnt solve it then it sounds like the coil pack, im on my 3rd one now £60 i think they cost from renault when i bought...

    Full Exhaust System

    you have 2 options. you can eather take it to a custom exhaust place and have a custom exhaust built and fitted to your car, usually costs around £250-£300 for a catback with the tailpipe of your choice and how loud or quiet you want it. Or you can buy a cat back exhaust system for your car...

    Lowering a Mk2 Ph2 1.4

    60mm is the minimum id go for, 40mm doesnt even look lowered from some angles! i had an apex -60mm kit on mine before the coilovers and speedbumps were fine, never affected me i could get anywhere without problems, exhaust didnt even catch anything. you could save money and just stick a set...

    Vibrating when braking

    warped disk(s) possibly but hard to tell if your exhausts falling off as will be causing excess vibration.

    Do all clios have 2yrs unlimited millage warranty?

    think you get a 1k limit after your service interval before it affects warranty too (eg. you need to get it serviced by 19k if its on 18k service intervals)

    Do all clios have 2yrs unlimited millage warranty?

    just wondering if all clios have 2 years unlimited millage warranty or if its just the business use ones? cheers

    Sick! Fed up!

    thats ok on an older car but doing it yourself means you no longer have your warranty and no/less service history so harder to sell it on.

    Trip Computer. Whats the Crack??

    edde, so you can change the dials and keep your original millage? couple of people on here said they had new dials under warranty because of this problem and it reset their millage and renault said nothing they could do?

    rolling road day

    165-170 on an acurate RR depending on how decent or bad your inlet manifold is. will be bit higher with standard airbox back on tho, dont see the point in a K&N, paying money to make your car slower and sound faster? only time id use an open cone is when the standard airbox cant flow enough air...

    Dci 100 cup pack

    FK Konigsport Silverline X coils and it will handle much better than a 172 as long as you have decent tyres on it

    best: brand new red M3 or RWD Skyline worst: 2.0 16v corolla Tsport (guy couldnt drive it very well and i was cornering atleast twice the speed of him every corner and pulling out to overtake and by the time i was ready to pull in he had started gaining and pulling past me lol

    Been on a spending spree again :D

    just thought with 45 it would let me go as low as possible and look better as even 50 profile look a bit chunky! and suppose it will handle better, not sure if its noticeable or not tho? anyone got any pics of 15s on 45 profile? cheers

    Been on a spending spree again :D

    as some of you may know i recently blew up my 1.2 16v after 140k of hard miles, looked into 1.6 16v conversion and even buying a 1.6 16v but too much money for another black clio when ive already got one, and insurance was going to sting me for a conversion, so anyway went on a spending spree...
