So your car has, on average, one cold start for every half mile of its life? There's your problem mate...

I only go into 5th at 30mph if all I need do is hold/maintain a steady speed - a slight gradient or needing to accelerate labours the engine and is very inefficient, so I drop one to 4th until I'm where I need to be.

Exactly ^^^ My Cup is currently showing 46.1 mpg after about 90 miles since a fill up with Optimax, and that's from holding everyone up accelerating reeeeeeeeally slowly (I'm in 5th from just before 30mph normally). I do it everytime I fill up...almost obsessive LOL - I like to see how...

In my experience they can't be faulted for track use, standing up to some serious abuse lap after lap after lap. On the road though, I'd say there's little difference over a standard set-up unless you drive like a nutter.

It's not the gear change that affects consumption, but how much you push the loud pedal. Change gear however you like but keep only the lightest possible touch on the throttle and you'll use far less fuel. It's not how you change gear, but how quickly (or slowly) you want to accelerate...

Be happy mate, mine didn't make it at all :(

Crackin' vid as always Pete :)

This thing went on mine and I had symptoms exactly like yours...2000 rpm ceiling etc.

These ^^^ people...

Some of you lot must have changed your head unit and still have the standard Renault one lying around unused and unloved? Sell it to me?

Yup ^^^

OK, OK, OK...I wasn't meaning to start a biggest thread ever LOL So there's more than a few then eh? How many of those do you think have changed their standard headunit for something aftermarket?

LOL - I think you might be Mike. I considered putting my back seats back in at the weekend, just to see what it used to be like. Then I thought NO!

...are there on Cliosport? 100? 200? 300? Anyone else?

On road or track, I personnaly prefer to be in control, and that means brake application or throttle lifts when I want them...not when a box-of-tricks designed by some random Renault bod thinks I need them. There's nothing worse than being on a nicely entered corner, the car takes a set as...

I was thinking more along the lines of on-track tuition, learning how to extract the most from the limited performance on offer...like learning throttle control out of corners (instead of mashing the pedal and letting the ECU control the wheelspin)...or understanding what the car's "saying" as...

Why not spend £500 on driver training? Would make you quicker than an extra 10bhp ever will...

WTF were they thinking? One in the back of the head is what he/she needs.
